MALHEUR ENTDP-PRISR.
BUSINESS MEN OF VALE
ARE THANKFUL
Past Year Eminently Successful and
Next Year Promises Far
Greater Things
That the business mon of Vale are
thoroughly satisfied with tht-ii exper
iences during the year juat ((rawing to
a close, and that all look forward con
fidently to far greater hucccsS than
ever during 1910, are facts elicited by
interviews given to the Malheur Enter
prise this week.
THE M ALII ELK CLOTHING CO.
E. R. Hamilton of the Malheur
Clothing company says that the busi
ness transacted by him in January 19'W
increased nearly three fold over that
of January 1908. Taking the whole of
this year into account, Mr. Hamilton
says it exceeded all expectations J'nd
fiat he really was not prepared to
handle it. To make sure, however,
that the tremendous increase in the
volume of business next year can be
m?t, large additions will be made to
the store and tin.' intention is to make it
the largest Clothing hou-te in East
ern Oregon. While speaking of the
matter .Mr. Hamilton expressed the de
sire to have conveyed to the people of
Vale and vicinity his thanks for their
hearty co-operition in the past, anil
also in anticipation for the future. He
believes that the advance along all
lines next year will astonish those who
be delayed much longer when taking
into account the increasing importance
of Vale. Business during the past
year has been splendid with him.
VALE HARDWARE
C. A. Martin of the Vale Hardware
store is ficurine on big business for
next year and making arrangements
accordingly. The farmers are in much
better circumstances than ever and
farming implements are consequently
purchased. '
During the past year the business of
his house was greater than ever be
fore by 30 per cent. It was formerly
a branch of the Ontario store but the
advance of Vale made it necessary for
j the local business to become indepen
i dent.
j FIRST NATIONAL BANK
j The first National Bank gained more
than $100,000 in deposits during the
year just ending as shown in the re
i ports to the comptroller, and 300 new
accounts were opened.
! In that time also a number of the
MERCHANTS WHOLESALE CO.
To one not acquainted with the Ware
house business in this particular locality
it might seem that such a business
would prove of but little satisfaction
to those engaged in the handling of
freight, wool and grain, but when
there pass through the hands of the
warehouse people between three and

attention to the
VALE'S LEADING DRl'GGIST
B. R. Frick, of the Drexel Drug
Company, which carries without ques
tion, the finest and most complete stock
in Vale, says also that bnsiness during
the past year far exceeded all his ex
pectations, proving the people's appre
ciation of fair dealing and absolute re
liability. He is perfectly confident
that 1910 will witness a tremendous
bound upward in the city's affairs and
ho will be fully prepared to meet the
greater demand. Mr. Frick wishes a
happy New Year to the people and
promises that he will ever maintain the
samo unapproachable business stand
ard. VALE'S BIG STORE
H. R. Dunlop of the Vale Trading
Company believe that the viut im
provement in busines during the past
year is dus to many f.i unions circum
stances as well as to the natural rise
of the country as a whole. Some of
those circumstances are the activity in
railroad construction, the "great
prices paid for hay, grain and seed and
the hard weather which rendered
necessary the purchase of feed for
sheep.
lie is unnesitatn gly certain that
next year will be a banner one, and
even feels that most people are not
fully cognizant of ti e tremendous pos
sibilities of 11)10. He is a firm believer
in the future of Vale as the metropolis

The Merchants Wholesale Company
of which F. L. Grimes is the popular j
manager, is about to close one of the
most prosperous years in its history,
and its outlook for the future is excep
tionally bright. Already the firm has
been assure! 3'2.r cars of various kinds
of freight for early spring delivery.
This is an exceptionally large shipment
of merchandise to this place, and it
means that the merchants of this part ;
of the state are figuring on a rushing i
spring business. Should the railroad
rate be lessened between this point
and Chicago, the reduction of which is i
now before the Interstate Commerce I
Commission, there will be but very I
! little of the year's crop of wool pass i
Vale on wagons. This alone would 1
mean much to all concerned in the wel
fare of Vale, as the incoming freighters
would undoubtedly do a share of their
trading here, and would in many other
ways help the town.
The Merchants Wholesale people are
now handling lots of grain and hay and
their commodities can always be had at
their warehouse.
HOTEL DREXEL
Fred L. Johnson, the popular pro
prietor of Vale s splendid hostelry, the ; jnfr the past year, he believes is due in
Hotel Drexel, expects to find a large j sorno measure to the strides Vale has

transportation and irrigation lines,
which will bring about at least a 25
per cent increase in the value of prop
erty. From his observation he has
come to the conclusion that commer
cial affairs, generally speaking, have
improved certainly not less than 33 per
cent. The first National Bank is
known to be one the finest institutions
in this and neighboring counties and has
always shown its willingness to extend
a helping hand.
O. W. PROBST
O. W. Propst states that he has been
practically cleaned out by the Christ
mas rush. His business during the
year more than doubled that of 1908
and he sees no reason to believe that
the trade of 1910 will not be to 1909 as
the present was to that immediately
preceding.

Weant insures him a first class trade

GEORGE W. HAYES
George W. Hayes, one of Malheur
County's leading, and one of its most
genial, attorneys describes the change
in the condition of Vale as most re
markable. He has spent five years
here and in that time he has taken an
active part in the growing life of the
city and county. Owing to his position
he constantly had his hand on the pulse
of the community and every throb
came home to him. For this reason
his opinion is well worth noting, and

manifested during the past year por
tends a very great increase next year,
which he believes will witness the tak
ing of gigantic strides by Vale.
Tilft HIGH BROTHERS
Vernie High and his brother Bert
are naturally optimistic, but the year
just ended receives even greater praise
than one would expect from them.
When the former was asked to give
his opinion about business for the com
ing year he expressed himself as
doubtful as to whether any year could
be better than 1909 in his line.

ever before ami I have come to the
conclusion that we can now prepare to

here and the active part taken by him
in the big deals makes his opinion an
expert one.
T. T. NELSEX
Perhaps more than any other, a fur
niture man will feel the direct effect of
an increase in population and T. T.
Nelson is prepared to meet the rush
which he anticipates before he is many
months older. He believes that Vale
is on the threshold of a real boom and
ho can easily see the establishment of
in-'i y new homes ami the consequent
ncrease in the demand for furniture.
Yet, he is thoroughly well satisfied
with the tremendous improvement in
his business conditions and looks upon
!!'! as bright and upon l'.UO as infi
liitely brighter.
I'. S. NATIONAL HANK
What Klwood Clark, of the United
St ates National Hank, does not know
about the progress of the country and
its prospects for the future could be
Mimmed up by the figure that repre.
sents zero, and Mr. Clark is absolutely
certain that the progress to be made
this year will mcke all the progress of
past seasons look like a funeral march,
great as the forward movement has
been.
. During the year 1909 the strides
taken by Vale Mr. Clark considers
remarkable, particularly when judged
by the tremendous increase in the bus
iness transacted by the splendid bank
ing institution of which he is cashier.
The increase was more than 100 per
cent, and the volume of the deposits
may be Ruaged bv the statement that
they have exceeded $100,000 on some
single days, on one of which the amount
went beyond $150,000.
H. C. EASTHAM
II. C. Eastham, city attorney, says
the municipality is now giving evidence
of a desire to have Vale keep pace
with the rich country surrounding it,
and he believes, larare as the demand
I is, the city will meet it. "Vale made
a step in the right direction last year"
he said "when an arrangement was
made by which the electric lie-ht fran
chise was extended two years, in effect.
i mi i now lurrner snown Dy me
move to install water and sewer ays
terns, and the agitation in favor of
paving the streets, added to the rest,
insures the people a far better city
than they have ever had before."
Mr. Eastham sees nothing but eminent
success ahead.
Stock Healthy
H. Silverwood, who came to Vale
this week to examine stock which ai
supposed to be affected by gland're,
found on examination that the animalj
were perfectly healthy.
T. T. Nelson has just received 1
new stock of the finest furniture ever
brought to Vale.
