Malheur Enterprise. , The Elgin Recorder reviews the country newspaper conditions at some length and concludes with this: "It Is useless to moan over this condition, but the situation is this: Business men of the towns In which newspapers are issued have got to give their respective newspapers In creased patronage or a lot of them are going to the wall before the close of the year." And the Recorder hits the nail squarely on the head. Towns that expect live local papers must be loy al to them before it Is too late. A town without a good wide awake newspaper is about ready for the un dertaker. Weekly Republican, Un ion, Jan, 4. Oregon Agricultural College, Cor vallis, January 7.
