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

high type but It seems to us as wQ

From La Grande Star.
There is a very heavy volume of
business over the La Grande-Joseph

is to Bend out from ten to fifteen
empty cars from various points on
this road each day and they usually
return at night loaded with pro
ducts of one kind and another for
outside shipment. And even at this
rate demand for cars Is in advance
of the "upply.

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.
