Of all places, the town which is just steeping into a new era in its development should have some official mouthpiece -come organized entity for the pur pose of having all the efforts towards advertising concentrated and, therefore, rendered really powerful. . Of course, we have a city council, but that body apparently considers such work foreign. Anyhow, it does not make any effort to keep Vale before the view of possible investors outside. Maybe it is right, but there surely should be some body to act for Vale in the struggle between the different cities for supremacy. From time to time, some individ uals' start off with the intention of bringing the business people of the town together but they never appear to be able to cover more than the first lap. Is there not something' wrong? What . is the matter with Vale? The Enterprise therefore, thought they were susceptible of some horrible inter pretation. Dear editorial friends; if you see the meaning and moral in this, please take the hint. ,: Pinchot vs: Dallinger HHHE ousting of Pinchot is really only the first big shot in the titanic battle now being waged between , him and Ballinger. The result of the investigation must be awaited before one can point to the banner on which victory will ultimately rest. Mean while, however, press and people have already begun to take sides as they did In the Peary-Cook affair, but the last named contro versy and its outcome prove clearly that all the people are not al ways right To some the facts in the present case seem favorable to Ballinger, and organizations, snch as the National Wool Grow ers, have definitely taken sides with him, while at least two im portant California organizations have offered their moral aid to the ex-chief forester. In many quarters Pinchot has been severe ly dealt with because of his Czar like, or, rather, Rooseveltian methods in conserving public lands, but a good deal depends upon the point of view. " If Pinchot tries to conserve to the, detriment of the few, for the benefit of the many, you may depend upon it that the few will not take it lying down. Unfortunately the many are yet unborn and their voices are constantly unheard. Secretary Ballinger undoubtedly has favored the Cunningham claimants in their wholesale , appropriation of Alaska coal lands, and it will take quite a while to understand how he stepped so quietly from the land office into a position as Cunningham's attor ney." At his back was a Seattle bunch that is certainly not partic ularly noted for squeamishness when it comes to the game of mak ing hay while the sun shines. One of them admits signing affida- lts of which he did not know the contents, cut that is only a small matter to a millionaire and to the friend of a cabinet minis ter. Anyhow, there is one thing certain, and that is that Pinchot is an honorable man. He is a disciple of Roosevelt. If he errs, he does so pro bono publico.

THE Enterprise cannot refrain from expressing now and again the pleasure afforded by the very kind, appreciative manner in which it has been received by the people of Malheur County and those beyond. All speak in the highest terms of the efforts made to give the community a newspaper which aids in keeping Vale and the surrounding country before the eyes of outside investors and intending settlers, and subscribers from distant points are con stantly sending laudatory messages to us by mail. These facts are, of course, exceedingly gratifying, but the people should always re member that a newspaper is a business, just like selling shoes, or clothes, and praise alone is not sufficient to keep up the quality of the stock. The people of Vale have been generous in their sup port of the Enterprise. They understand that a good paper must have good support. Indeed the quality of a newspaper depends as much upon the community in which it is published as it does upon the staff that produces it. The people are really in charge of the destinies of a newspaper. If thev want a good paper they can have one, but, on the other hand, the withdrawal of patronage means the loss of the necessary foundations. Vale Will Be Busy Center IT is highly probable in fact the element of improbability may be said not to enter into the question at all - that Vale will soon be the center of one of the busiest scenes of activity in the West. First of all the extension of the Oregon Short Line westward is an assured fact. Then come the building of the Boise-Owyhee dis trict ditch, the work on Willow River, on Bully Creek, and on the benches of the Malheur River. The Boise-Owyhee ditch, while not bringing water to the land immediatly surrounding Vale, will come within two miles of this city and of course, the lands served by it will in part be tributary to the town. With that ditch on the East, Bully creek on the West. An other sure one to the South and Willow River to the North, not to speak of the railroad at all, Vale will be surrounded on every hand by exceedingly busy colonies. The beauty of such work is that its conclusion means the real beginning of the work of development. Water once provided, the lands will begin to bloom, and, unlike the life of a mining camp, the longer the time the greater will be the vitality. It would be almost an absolute impossibility for Vale to stand still. Nothing but some extraordinary, phenomenal occurrence could hold back its rapid growth and all that now remains is to watch that growth's rapidity " The Enterprise Disgraced LAST week at least two newspapers in Malheur county accused the Enterprise of using foul language, and hold it up to the scorn of all right thinking people. They wont further and quoted some of the disgraceful things published in this unfortuaate publica tion. Therefore the Malheur Enterprise stands -dishonored amongst the pure, silver-tongued, saintly com torn x)rarics and with head humbly bowed, and with sack cloth and ashes on its shoulders it retracts. Nay, more; knowing that confession is good for the soul it confesses out, aloud, and by doing so hopes for forgivensss. One word which appeared in its columns was "gourmet," and a very esteemed contemporary gives the fact as a proof of our depravity. Another paper levels pious thunder at our devoted headsforprintingthephra.se "insinuoua Billingsgate." By the way, the phrase really used by the Enterpriso was "innocuous Billingsgate," but that makes very little difference; the real crime committed by this paper was to print words that wore not part of the vocabularies of our righteously angered colleageus. The dis gusting character of our offence may be apparent to our accusers when we tell them that "gourmet" means an epicure-a good judge of good things to oat that "innocuous" means "harmless", and that Billingsgate is a fish market. In a certain city there was famous lawyer and orator, and in the same city there was an old woman who had gained national notoriety as a scold. Some friends of the orator once put up a largo hot that ho could not hold bin own in a war of words with tlu virago. He took up the bet and the contestants came together without lotting the old lady into tho locrot. Ho nturtod off and m)k immediately (toured vitriolic verbiage all over him. Vet, he dually won easily, although he never went ouUid Euclid fur his pitlit-u.
