A fast mail train between Chicago and Portland that will bring Eastern mall to Ore gon in much less time than Is now required has Just been put on by the Harriman lines. The train will car ry no passengers and will make the run between the two cities In 60 or 62 hours, clipping off from 10 to 12 hours from the present schedule. In this way the Harriman lines expect to meet the shortened schedules of ihe Hill roads, which have put In fast trains from St. Paul to Puget Sound. Hop growers are having their inn ings, with the prevailing quotation for the Orejon crop at 25 cents per pound. The average price last year was 7 cents, In 1907 7 cents and in 1906 12 cents. The last high priced Tear was 1904, when the Oregon hop went to 45 cents and away back in 1882 there were sales as high as $1.25 per pound. In some respects, the. market ths year resembles, that of 1882. Light crops all over the world are responsible for the prevailing high prices. The Oregon crop is the lightest Bince 1896. The estimate of '0,000 bales for the year's yields in this state is cqnsiiered about right, with Washington's crop 13,000 bales, compared with 17,000 bales last year, and California has about 60,000 bales this year compared to 68,QQQ bales lata seasoq. It is expected this year will mark the first of a series of high-priced crops. This year, the next and pos sibly one or twq more, will mean large profits to growers After that, ENTERPRISE, OREGON, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 14. 1909.

The North Cotuit road will have 100 mile of line In operation in Yakima valley by Jan. 12. 1910, which is the time limit of the North Yakima franchise and will proceed to connect North Yakima with Walla Walla. No extension of franchise will be asked, Instead the company will In crease Its building force and will have a separate contractor on each mile of grade that Is not completed. President Strahorn, who Is here, made the . startling announcement that engineers have started surveys through and east of Walla Walla, and although not willing to make any fur- her statement at to his plans, in ference Is drawn that the line will bo projected through the Blue Moun tains Into Idaho. This gives support to the conjecture that the North (.'oast and the Chica go Northwestern are allies or that the North Coast j to be connected with the big Chicago line. All right of way for the North 'oast from Walla Walla to North Yakima hai been obtained, but tit le has been done on the line west from this city. Construction gangs are at Kenne- wick, Attalla and Granger. At the latter point crewa are working both aast and west. Grading for 75 miles is completed. DR. j. R. PRATT. Bead the following from Dr. Pratt, aur evangelist. It is to the point. May these sentiments be fully rea lized In our united effort: Experience has taught us that the widest and best results are secured by all the evangelical churches of a community uniting formally in ierlea of evangelical meetings, for the following reasons: 1st. It draws pastors and churches into close sympathy, and Is a eplen lid testimony to the world when all lenomlnatlona are seen laboring cor dlally together. 2d. It encourages the entire mem bership of all the churches to feel responsibility for. and freedom to labor in the meetings. 3d. it insures the combined Influ ence of the churcne as a leverage in securing the attendance of the unsaved. 4th. It clean the field largely, for the time, of local gatherings, social )r otherwise that might hinder serl ousnesa in the community and gives the movement right of way for the time being. Gin. it gives from the start, large meetings, which the unsaved are far more liable to attend and become in1 terested in, than smaller gatherings, where they are conspicuously the tar- jet for close preaching.
