MANY ELOQUENT TESTIMONIES
TO DR. PRATT'S VALUE TO
THIS COMMUNITY.
The. union revival meetings at the
rink entered cn the last week Mon
day night with constantly increas
ing interest. Big crowds' heard two
fine sermons by Dr. Pratt Sunday
and a number of the auditors con
fessed Christ
What citizens think of this great
series of meetings li well shown by
the following testimonies:
Will Bear Fruit For Years
In reply to request for statement
of my Impressions of evaneellstic
meetings now In progress under lead
ership of Dr. J. A. Pratt, will say
that from every point of view the
services have been a great blessing;
the spiritual uplift among professing
umstians is bound to result In last
ing good and will bear much fruit
in years to come. The Immediate
results are splendid, many accepting
Christ as their personal Savior and
3howlng by their efforts that they
appreciate their personal responsi
bility in the cause. The 3 o'clock
teaching services are a revelation.
E. J. Forsythe.
Scores of Blessings.
In regard to the union evangelist
ic meetings would say, as to my own
personal experience I have received
scores of blessings; my family has all
been brought to Christ through the
able preaching of Dr. Pratt, and
praise God the town of Rntemrls
has had a wonderful awakening and
scores of youne neoDle have heen
u.aj u see ineir need of a person-1
very earnest effort on the part of
Uie Christian men and women of the
different churches, and especially the
pastors of the?e churches. Dr. Pratt
is a very able and a spirit-filled
maa, and would to God that every
man, woman and child would come
out and hear hhn expound the Scrip
tures. I know it would do you good.
As far as man's power Is concerned
it is impossible to estimate the good
that ha come to Enterprise God
alone can do that.

Grand Jury Report.
We, the Grand Jury for Uie No
vember, 1909, Term of the Wallowa
County Circuit Court, beg leave to re
port as follows:
We have been In continuous ses
sion for five days, and returned into
court 3 true bills, and two not true
bills of indictment.
We have also returned one Report
and Return.
We have carefully Investigated all
charges of any violations of the
laws of this state that have been
brought to our attention, and have
not concluded all tibe testimony upon
aU such charges.
We have Inspected the offices and
records of the sheriff, clerk, and as
sessor, and find them neatly kept,
and so far as we could discover
properly kept in all respects.
We went through the county Jail,
and by reason of the prospect of
but few occupants, and a new jail by
the first of next year, we have no
recommendations to make.
The various cointy officers stated
to us that in view of the fact (hat
I the county would have a new court I of dollars
, uiu new puouc 011 ice touiu
by the first of the year, they had no
present requests or recommendations.
Millions of feet of timber and fin
ished lumber rot every year In rail
road ties, brldge3, trestles, piles, farm
buildings, fences, poles, and mine
props. The lumber consuming public
Of the United States nava nprlmrm
thirty to forty million dollars a year
to make good the los3e3 from wood
decay.
These great drains are a source of
more and more concern each year.
Chemists and engineers who have to
do with the uses of Iwood are working
unceasingly oa the problem. The
U. S. Forest Service has men who de
vote their who: time to It. The Im
portance of the problem can not be
overestimated. Millions of dollars are
annually saved by preservative treat
ment of timbers, but much yet re
mains to be learned.
Wood decay Is caused by fungus, a
vegetable growth sometimes m small
that it can be seen only with a mlscro
scope. Its roots or branches, like min
ute hairs force their way Into the
wood tissues and absorb or eat away
the solid parts. The collapse which
results la called decay. Timber Is
artificially preesrvej by forcing Into
Its cells or pores certain substances
which prevent the grow of fungi.
As long as this substance Is present
in sufficient quantity, the germs
of decay the threads and spores of
fungus can not enter, and the wood
Is preserved. This often means doub
ling and soinetlmes trebling the life
of the timber.
The United States government con
siders the investigations of the pre
servative treatment of timber of
such Importance that the business
of one office of the United States
Forest Service, that of Wood Preser
vation, with new headquarters . at
Madison, Wis.. 1h given over entire
ly to the work of experiments In co
operation with railroad companies
and other corporations and Individu
al In prolonging the life of railroad
ties, mine prots, bridge timbers,
fence posts and transmission poles.
The lengthening of the life of tim
ber means the saving of thousands
annually through doing
away with the heavy expense of
labor and cost of material for renewals.
