WALLOWA COUNTY LOOKS
GOOD IN COMPARISON
. Travelers who have passed through
the famous PaVouse country ia Wash

condition prevkiing there are worse
ihan eimlllar conditions In Wallowa
'ounty. Here H ia beyond question
'bat the spring grain need rain very
much, but those wha have traveled
both In eastern Washington and
through Wallowa county state that
all crops here look much . better
'ban In tbe former pi-ace.
In order that we may know how
favored we. are iu Wallowa county,
a letter received within a wejfc from
northwestern Ohio, by this paper,
ftaVes that the dry. hot weather i,i
;hat section has burnt up all early
potatoes, th corn and meiJow lauJs.
and that all crops were suffering ex
tremely. J'hls la sufficient to show
the finer pointe of Wallowa county
in the comparbion.
