ENTERPRISE, WALLOWA COUNTY,
BATTLESHIP OREGON
BULLDOG OF AMERICAN NAVY AGAIN READY FOR SERVICE
APPRECIATION BY GOODWIN'8 WEEKLY OF
( SALT LAKE CITY. .' ' . .
A dispatch Informed us the other
morning that the battleship Oregon
after having undergone costly repairs,
would be ready to go into commission
again in a few days. We all made
a note of that, because It was the
Oregon. Almost any other ship we
would read of idly and forgotten in
an hour. Why the special interest
over the Oregon? Because atl a most
eventful time the Oregon ceased, in
thought, to be a mere fabric of wov
en and welded steel charged with
thunder and seemed to be a live creat
ure that thought and acted for her
self and accomplished wonders.
There is no doubt that what she
performed was due to a most gallant
commander and a most accomplished
engineer; that she did but what they
bade her do and painted no picture
by her deed that had not before
shone on the eyes of those two) men;
but while admiration for the men was
and Is very great still the ship has a
personality of her own. She) was nam
ed in honor of a great state,, but she
by her performances exalted that
state and gave It a dignity which she
had never acquired for herself. A
call came to her for help. , To answer
the call she had to speed away four
teen thousand miles. When the Jour
ney was half completed, she touched
at a port to obtain a supply of coal.
There a message was received that
great possible dangers were in her
path, and instructions began to reach
her how she should proceed: when
they answered back: "Do not hamp
er us. The "Oregon can take care of
herself." Then after a few days she
pulled into an obscure Inlet on the
coast and wired to Washington for
instructions. She was ordered to

BEAUTIFYING OF COURT
HOUSE GROUNDS BEGUN.
A force of men and teams began
f.radlng the court house yard, Monday
and the work will be rapidly pushed
under the direction of David Reavis
until completed.
Mr. Reavis drew the plans for beau
tifying of the grounds Surrounding the
court house that he submitted to the
county court. That body gave them
its in siant and entire approval and
ordered the work to proceed at once.
The plans call for a handsome slop
ing lawn from the court house to
the four sides of the block. The) en
tire block will be surrounded by an 8
foot cement walk, with 3 foot lawn
and 1 foot cement curb. From the
southwest corner to the northwest
corner a cement walk leads in a sweep
ing curve past the main entrance,
and a similarly curved walk sweeps
past the east entrance. A driveway
curves past the south side of the
building. A fountain la placed south
and another north pf the court house
and flower beds, trees, etc., help give
the grounds a beautiful appearance.
Hon. D. W. Sheahan returned Sat
urday from La Grande where he had

Water In Butter .
Will Prove Costly
Government To Class Such Products
. As Adulterated Portland
Markets. .
The United States government is
after manufacturers of creamery but
ter who persist in adding some low
priced water to high priced cream and
weighing the total as butter.
The internal revenue department
has served notice that no excuses of
creamerymen regarding the way the
surplus of water Is held la the but
ter will be accepted. , '
There is a fine of 10c per pound on
all butter that contains morel tban 16
per cent moisture and in addition to
this the government proposes" to
charge the manufacturers a tax of
$600 a year as manufacturers of adul
terated butter.
.The government nas not only de
cided to punish creamery men who
continually violate the law regard
ing excessive moisture In butter but
dealers who handle the product will
find themselves up against the strong
arm of the law if they fail to pay an
extra tax of $480 to handle such adul
terated stock.
While the ruling of the government
applies only to butter that is sold in
terstate, an effort is being made to
have all the states along the Pacific
coast pass the same measure. Port

CITY OFFICIAL PAPER.
OVEniOIN
TELEPHONE DEAL
HOME INDEPENDENT FIRST TO
MAKE BELL CO. RETIRE
FROM THE FIELD.
The details of the deal by which
the Home Independent Telephone,
company took over the Pacific States
in Wallowa and Union counties, show
it to be one of great magnitude, In
volving over $200,000 for the sale and
Improvements that will be made by
the Home Independent.
The transfer includes all the prop.
erty of the Pacific States in both
counties except a long distance wire
from Pendleton to Baker through
Union county. All the P. S. property
In this county is transferred to the
Home company. It is stated the
Home people are fully protected by
the contract from further competit
ion from the Bell in this territory.
The deal was.englneered by General
Manager S. D, Crowe and reflects
credit on his generalship.' It is the
first time an independent company
has compelled the big Bell monopoly
to retire from a field.
While both counties benefit by the
connection on only one phone rental,
La Grande Is the largest gainer. In
that city the Bell had more local
phones than the Home yet all busi
ness houses had to have both phones
for the Home had many patrons in
the city as well as country. The Bell
turns over about 1200 phones,' more
than doubling the number now owned
by the Home.
The growth of the Home Independ
ent has been marvelouBly rapid. It
was Incorporated June 26, 1904, 'at
Imbler by F. I. Vergere, 8. L. Brooks,
and J. L McKInnls with a capital
stock of $4,000. It was then known
as the Vergere system.' S. D. Crowe
bought a half Interest In October
1905, F. I. Vergere of this city own
lng the other half. Owing to rapid
Increase of business the capital stock
was increased from time to time to
$25,000 in March, 1906, to $75,000 in
January, 1907, and in January, 1909,
to $100,000. A $30,000 bond issue was
floated a few years ago.
The present deal will of course mean'
a further Increase of stock or bond ,
Indebtedness. The physical valuation
of the plant today is over $200,000.
The company owns over 200 miles
copper metallic toll circuits and over
350 of iron toll circuits connecting ex
changes and pay stations. There are
four copper wires from La Grande to '
Joseph and two from La Grande to j
Union and Cove.
Following is the present roster of
directors and officers: President, J.
