Enterprise, Jan. 7. The (Record

of the ..Federated .church of Enter
prise was considered, at the watch
meeting and . annual (business, meet
ing held last Friday night. Speakers
commented on the strength and weak
ness of the union and proposed new
lines of activity to widen the church's
efficiency and usefulness to members
and to the community. J. A. .. Bur
leigh presided at the meeting. .
: Rev. A. J, Adams and J. L. Wor
rell particularly dwelt on the future.

The chief weakness in the federa

of tha members. They are Interested

"The church," ne said, "la not the
social center it should be. A gym-
ed. - It would provide entertoinmejitrfj"
evenings and draw the community to R
the church." -:
The Sunday School is too scattered,
different departments meeting in the
various V churches. - All should be
centered "so that all could work to
gether in closer harmony and could
get the benefit of the enthusiasm that
comes with large and prosperous
organization. : i
"The strength of the, federation,"
he said, "lies in the fact we are unit
ed and working together. This is
one step nearer to the Lord's prayer
that all be one. The federation is the
best thing found yet to advance that
ideal. Let oib develop it more muy.
We have found we can work together,

leading newspapers have gone into
ecstacies over "Avenging Conscience''
the D. W Griffith "supreme achieve
ment" which will be at the Arcade
theatre Wednesday for two days only.
Its producer, Griffith,, says it in
greater than his "Birth of' a Nation."
It has all the stars in that picture,
with Blanche Sweet, in addition.
Critics say that Henry Walthall does
greater work than at any other time
in this picturization of Edgar Allen
Poe's "The Telltale Heart" and "An

' Here are some of the criticisms on
"Avenging Conscience:"

; Mr."- WoTrtil said he could not un
derstand why the attendance was no
greater at the services. ,But he felt
an effort should be made for greater
usefulness by the church by providing
entertainment for men and making of
the church the social center of the
town. He referred to Y. M. C. A. or
ganizations in other towns, saying
one would fce proposed .soon for En
terprise, he suggested the church was
in a position to start a movement
along lines of the associations. He
would like to see a gymnasium opened,
with pool tables and other games and
amusements. ' , ' '
In his annual report, Mr. Adams
said he conducted 39 funerals and 53
weddings during .the year, certainly
a great .record for so small a town. :
C. H. Zurcher told something of the
churches in Enterprise 25 years ago.
He recalled attending the first church
service held here, in a log cabin by
h? river, In. .1885. The preacher was
a Methodist minister of Alder, named
Rev. Wood. In the early days, after
three churches had been established,
he said the attendance was fairly
good; there was no other place to go
on Sundaysv
Speaking on the "Old Year," G. W.
Hyatt emphasized the fact that the
influence of church had brought re
forms, citing the fact that the pro
hibition law went into effect the next
day. Ho though people were drawn
away from the church by too many
outside amusements. '

LUMBER CARGOES TO MJCIQO.
Steamers Wapanta and Klamath Do
Big Business at Mexican Ports.
St. Helens, Or., Jan. 5. The sailing
of the two McCormick steamers,
Wapana and Klamath, Monday night
for Mexico indicates a revival in
business in the territory at Mexican
coast ports.! The Wlapama carried
500,000 fewt of piling'and 600,000 feet
of lumber, while the Klamath's cargo
consisted of 500,000 feet of piling: and
600,000 feet of lumber. The wapama

ath to Guaymas. ..." r 'V i " . J 5
Owing to improved conditions - in
both places, both steamers will have
good passenger lists from San Fran
cisco and Los Angeles, as many min
ing men and those interested in Mex
ican industries now are returning
since Carranza has complete charge
of .the country , in which their several
enterprises are located. Just to the
south of Mazatlan is an island which
is being developed by Los Angeles
capitalists and Purser Howard, of the
Klamath,, stated that on his last trip
50 passengers were taken down to lo
cate on this island, where pineapples
and other fruits are raised easily and
marketed at a good profit.
Both steamers expect to be back
in. the Columbia river in about 2
days and will make several coastwise
trips 'before again going to Mexico.
The Southern Pacific railroad Mexi-
ican' system,.' running - north from
Guaymas, has now been pod in condir
tion and a regular schedule ia being
maintained, while that portion of the
line from Guaymas to Maratfcffl is be
ing repaired as rapidly bj uiyrfMrend

The cargoes on both Wapama and
Klamath will be used in railroad and
mine construction in Mexico;

Dodge 'Steamship company. The, San ;
Ramon was followed Saturday 'by the''
