"The great thing in thcworld is not so much where
we stand, as in what direction we are moving." Holmes.
The present activity of several oil
OIL HOPES companies raised the hopes of the pe'o
ARE HIGH pie of Vale and surrounding territory that
this may soon become a great oil produc
ing center. The several concerns now at work are going
about things in a businesslike manner and their geologists
have pronounced the prospects absolutely certain. It is
an absolute fact that oil exists in these fields and those in
charge of the present work are confident that they will
be able to, strike flows in a very short time.
AMERICA IS
WITH WILSON
temperment of some of our people made it necessary for
the President to issue a warning against rash acts and
words. We are ashamed to admit that in many cases such
warning was and is needed to be given the daily press.
Many papers issued "rank" extras with vicious and but
half-true reports and fairly "screeching" headlines. It
sometimes seems that it is the people that save the press
of the nation rather than the converse statement which
the editors like so much to use. In fact it is usually up
to the people to save themselves anyway. Let us hope
that further trouble with other nations may be averted
in an honorable method. If it cannot, there will be plen
ty of time to arouse, the people. They are with Wilson
and believe he is for them. When he calls they will re
spond regardless of party or section, for Americans are
for Americanism. In the meantime it will behoove the
press of the nation to give to the people the plain uncol
ored facts so they can form their own sane conclusions.

fir?t have something to give you cannot expect to receive
anything. It is a plain statement of the universal law of
service. He receives most who gives much. Figure oiit
your mission for Vale and Malheur county and you will
soon find that by taking your place in the ranks of the
constructionists you will find your reward. Vale has
great prospects ahead and Malheur county will develope
to an unbelievable degree. It was not many years ago
when irrigation projects were derided and considered the
sheerest folly. Yet the dreamer's vision has created mil
lions and millions of new wealth. You may not believe
it today, but the time is coming when several hundred
thousand acres of the finest land in America will be in
Malheur county. Projects that will cover more than a
hundred thousand acres are now in formative stages.
But irrigation will not reach all of the good land in
this great county. Every year we are growing better
and better dry farm crops. The time is coming when the
vast ranges of Eastern Oregon will be producing forage
crops that will increase their feeding capacity tenfold,
and sufficient harvest products to feed the multiplied
number of stock.
Vale is not however a city of mere futures. It is the
biggest and busiest town of its size in the West. There
are plenty of tasks demanding immediate attention and
there are great problems for the future. WHAT are
YOU doing NOW for VALE.

My dear Sir: S
The "Malheur Enterprise" of 3rd

a thunder-bolt from a clear sky. It
awakens memories of long ago.
Before you, or even your father,
were born, Col. R. F. Maury's First

Reg. Adjt., camped at the crossing of
Malheur river, where I suppose your
flourishing city of Vale now stands.

George Huntington Currey, of La
Grande, known to many Pendleton
people, has just purchased the Mal
heur Enterprise, a weekly paper pub
lished at Vale, Oregon. For many
;vars ho has been connected in var
ious capacities with the La Grande
Observer. Mrs. Currey until two
years ago was society editor of that
paper. Pendleton Tribune.
The Malheur Enterprise', a weekly
publication at Vale, has been pur
chased by George Huntington Currey,
of La Grande, who was formerly cm
nected with the La Grande Observer
under the ownership of his father,
George II. Currey. He is a young
newspaper man of marked ability and
fliould give a good account of hftn
self in Malheur county. Baker Dem

bought the Malheur Enterprise;'' at
Vale and expects to take charge soon.
Mr. Currey has been in the newspaper

keep away from it. Success to him

When a man like Thomas A. Edi
son speaks, it is time for everybody
else, to listen. Following is a letter
written by, Mr. Edison to Henry Ford,
with regard to cigarettes:
"Friend Ford: Tho injurious agent
in cigarettes comes principally from
tho burning' paper wrapper. The
substance thereby formed is called
"Acrolein." It has a violent action
on the nerve centers, producing de
generation of the cells of the brain,
vfhich is quite rapid among boys. Un
liki most narcotics this degeneration
is permanent and uncontrolable. I
employ no person who smokes cigar
ettes. Thos A. Edison."
A great many young fellows smoke
cigarettes not believing that there is
any harm in them. Edison says there
Is, and ho knows. Cigarettes weaken
physical strength and undermine fu
ture health. They sap the energy of
nerve and brain cells. That is why
athletes under training are not allow
ed to use them. A boy does not real

PURPOSE OF ADVERTISING
Is the Fertilizer in the Field of Bust
ness Increases the Volume.
Advertising judicious advertising
like the renting of a desirable lo
cation, does not mean higher selling
prices. The purposes of both is in
creased volume; they are a business
stimulant or fertilizer, as is aptly
illustrated in the following by Don
Francisco, advertising manager of
California Fruit Growers' Exchange
A farmer having two fields along'
side of each other that he wishes to
test in the production of crops may
apply fertilizer to one and to the oth
er we will say he gives nothing in the
way -of nutriment to the soil. He is
using the original soil in each case,
but in one instance he is adding fer
tilizer and in the other he is not
Now, because he adds fertilizer to
that soil, provided he uses correct
judgment in Its application both as
to kind and amount, he gets a very
much increased amount of produce of
a very much betterproduct from the
soil; he has reduced the cost of its
production on that acre of land as
compared with the acre of land on
whic.h ne h&s used no fertilizer.
Advertising is the fertilizer in the
field of business. Advertising, right
ly applied, reduces the cost of distri
bution. Parma Herald.
