THIS ISA GOOD YEAR.
If we can depend n tlie sitftis of the times, Ontario and all the
rest of Malheur county will enjoy an unprecedented year of progress
and prosperity. The speculation stage is past and steady, consistent
growth has benn a opposed to the mush room activities of the past.
N'o one is buying with the idea of holding his purchase until a
bnom will increase its value hut everyone who buys and there are
many of them starts riojit in to improving his own property until
it is worth more money than he paid for it. In this way the people
are actually increasing the value of their property and earning the
increment instead of letting the property lay idle and expecting to
get something for nothing.
One of the sius referred to above is that immigrants arc coming
into the county every week and moving right out onto farms. Some
of them are renters, some of them owned property here already and
the rest have POUghl since they came. Kvery new settler is said to be
worth at least one thousand dollars to the community in which lie
lives ami according to that Malheur county has already been con
siderably enriched and will be much more before the year is over.
Another sign is the new industries that are bein promoted. In
bygWM years we might come into town any morning and sec a new
store, a creamery, hotel or some new business start up Some held
out and MOM went under but the new spirit is different. It is an
intelligent and careful effort to establish a business that is really
mided, one that will promote the interests of the community and l
a financial success
Then greater interest is btiag taken in stock raising of all kinds
and thoroughbred Stock is taking the place of s.rub animals. Tower
for irrigating more land is being ufilicd ami many private pnmpin",
plants are bting installed. In lad the sitis are evident n all sides
and in evtfj business. Business houses all show a big Increase OVei
last car in the amount i business transacted. Confidence is re
stored, exorcised ami fell bv every business man, who is alive to the
spirit of the xear ami ready to do his part in helping along every
laudable cntciiisc.
The close of the ear I'M 5 bids fair to mark the ending of one of
the most prosperous years ever experienced in this section and we
believe the same may be said of the whole Tinted Stales
cannot pay inteiCtl c,n bonds, cannot earn dividends for stockholders,
there is no future for this lare field of investments.
As the community curbs the initiative of private enterprise, jt
drives out capital and forces public ownership with increased tnx-
stion in nine cases out of ten as the "illy alternative.
i hen why should not legislatures, city and county governments,
courts and commissions become constructive and helpful instead of
attacking undertakings of private capital?
State, county ami city have a ritrin to collective enterprises, but
the) have ii" right to drive out or destroy the opportunities for
private capital in any legitimate field.
The riidit of reasonable regulation is conceded, but there is an
obligation that this regulation shall be helpful and shall conserve the
fountains of prosperity.
PAYROLL OF 13.000 NAMES.
Nearly .sJD.OOO.DOO wa expended by the Oregon-Washington
Railroad It Navigation Co., in the states .,f Washington, ireon and
Idaho during the year 1914, according t figures just compiled. The
exact amount is $19,735,803.73. The statement further shows that
more than 13,000 names appear on the annual payroll and that be
tween 65,000 and 75,000 persons are dependent on the operation of the
Union Pacific system in the Northwest. For the year ending June
30, 1914, the O. W. R. I N. paid $1,390,698.65 in taxes. In the three
states $5,042,425.71 was spent in the construction of new lines.
The Bible Says the Turk Will tome

Paraphrasing the scripture in the
light of simple deductions, we have
the following: The Turk shall locate
his seat of government at Jerusalem,

CREAMERY QUESTION.
The outlook for u creamery at Ontario is most promising at this
time. Several men, experienced in the dairy industry, have looked
over the field and pronounce it ideal. All that is meded is the man
that has the neccssan capital and the business ability to organize the
territory into one that will produce the necessary butterfat.
The capital nttliaiflf to install a ncainctv would not have to
be very lainc at liist, but with the increase of the business tfcg in
vestment would be grater, Bttl the proceeds from the business l"i
the first ear or two would furnish the amount necessary for the
additional investment. A very successful creamery is operating at
present in a nearby town with an initial investment of one thousand
dollars. This gradually inci cased with the busim s transacted until
now, with a prosperous dairy community, then- is ,i well equipped
creamery paying good dividends,
The priniepal investment nectasar) is business ability and practical
knowledge ol the dair) business. What is most needed at present is
a man that knows tho business thoroughly s,i that he can tell just
what must be done to establish and maintain a Creamery,
i in- organisation ol the territory is one of the most important
phases ol this proposition, i'he field must be canvassed so as to tmd
nt just who will furnish cream and how much. Then new patron
must be secured and all should bf encouraged to keep the best stock

compan) that has tin' capital and ability t turn the tuck. Several

has i. ii advanced there will no doubt be a creamer) installed.
Soon the Turk will make his last stand
at Jerusalem, the day of salvation will
end, the great day of the- Ton) will
begin, the time of trouble such as
never was will suddenly break upon
the world, the King ot glory will ap
pear, and the great conflict so long
wagi'd with sin will forever end.
What has the Eastern question or
the future of the Turk to do with
Scripture, and why so much concern
about whether Turkey or some other
power li.'ill occupy Constantinople?
More than twenty-four conturica ago,
the Lord revealed to the prophet Dan
iel event that would tuke plac
umoiiK earthly powers in connection
with the cloning scenes of earth's hi-
tery, follows:
"And he shall plant the tabernacles
of hia palace between the m'bh in
the glorious holy mountain; yet he
shall come to his end, and none ahull
help him. And at that time shall

time; and ut that tune thy people Khali
be delivered, every one that shall be
found written in the book. And many
of them that aleep in the dust of the
earth shall awake, some to everlaating
life, and aoiiie to shunie and cverluat
ing contempt." Dan. 11:45; 12: 1, 2.
This is the conclusion of a long
prophecy thut begina with the Medo
Persian kingdom ami closes with the
establishment of the eternal kingdom
and the resurrection.
Soon after the death of Alexander
the (ireat, hia generala formed a com
pact for the government of hia em
pire; but it w.i- aoon broken, and
out of bis conipiest.s four kingdoms
arose "toward the four winds of
whose names are found written in the
book of life, will be delivered.
The thought that Christ takes Hia
Kingdom and begins His reign at
the beginning of this time of unpar
alleled trouble to the nations may
seem atrange to some, but it will be
seen to be in perfect accord with the
scripture.
Like the muffled tread of the thief
in the night, the day of the Lord is
stealing upon us. More suddenly than
the preaent war broke over Kurope,
and with much more dire reaults, will
tbe war of the great day of (Sod break
over all the world. The only safety
in that hour will be found in Jesus.

During the progress of the Kalkin

pressed their conviction that the time
had come for the Turk to leave
Kurope. While he was driven by the

their hands were stayed by the con
