Christian people of all the evangelical churches are holding union prayer meetings and next Sun day evening there will be union ser vices, in, the Methodist church. Every word that cqmes relative to Dr. Pratt, who will conduct the re vival, is a word of praise. Here is a testimony from the North Dako ta Evangel: An. Appreciation of J. R. Pratt. One of the strongest, if not the strongest character on the program of the Bible Conference was that of Dr, J, R. Pratt of Albany, New York. All the speakers were of a high type but It seems to us as wQ listened and a? we watched others that Dr. Pratt was the mightiest among the mighty. The personality (Continued on page six.)

The Famous Buster Browns and Nap-a-Tans (THEY "MAKE A HIT E fx Blue Ribbok The Enterprise roller mill is re ceiving splendid wheat theite days and 'wagons are standing In line waiting to unload. The fall sown jraln Is especially of fine quality and Miller J. C. Rennie praises It ilghly. The result is that never has this mill, noted for 20 years for its excellent flour, turned out a better luallty than this fall. Tbe Enterprise mill la as old as he town. That is, it was started about tbe same time the town was, but its equipment Is new and up-to-date, no better in Oregon. All the latest improved appliances for mak ing the best f our are found In the mill. It has a capacity of 50 barrels per day and runs practically the year around. It is run by water power. The old reliable brands of flour known the county over, are the Calla Lily (patent), White Loaf and Pride of Enterpilse. RAILROADLE8S DISTRICT CAN SECURE A RAILROAD From the Labor Prese. In Idaho and Oregon within the last two years ten conventions and representative gatherings have met to consider the construction of rail roads by districts, the money to be secured by banding the land bene fited. Railroads make land more valuab'e. They add from 120 to 1500 an acre to agricultural land, espec ially in the state of Oregon, where they make fruit shipments, possible. In California irrigation canals cost ing many millions have been con structed In this manner. The con struction of railroads by bonding tbe lands benefited and keeping Uie enor mous values thus created in the hands of the people owning the land Instead of in the bands of Wall street speculators may seem a little startling, but If the people are will ing to let any railroadless district try It perhaps it may be a way out of paying dividends on watered stock or doing without transporta tion. It is up to the people. Afoney spent on booze Is wasted spemt on clothes is vanity, spent on food is gone, and fooled away is wick ed; but money scent for seed or a fruit tree Is wisely invested.
