ONLY ONE OWNER
In it Uiiio of IVeeml-er I the En
terprise announced tlmt the owner
chip of thi pnHr had passed Into the
hands of H. E. Browne, he having
purchased thopUnt, subscription and
good will of the paper from Clm. E.
Hick. Notwithtm!injt this state
ment we have reoatedly leen asked if
we purchased a half interet, ami some,
we are toll, have gone so faraa to in
sinuate that there had been-no real
change, limply form of deception for
the purpose of working up a trade.
'hatever may have been the case pre
viously, no such a thing has occurred
in this iiiHtance. Mr. Hick has no
part ownership in the business w hat
ever. Ilia price was named and li is
been paid and the entile ownership
rest with If. E. Browne, and he alone.
This statement is not made with 11 de
rogatory feel i nj; toward Mr. Hick in
the leant sen e. He ha acted perfect
in ali hia business relations with uk,
but we feel that if there ia a goo or
bad influence derived from this paper
we want the credit.
We intend to improve the piqx-r a
much and a rapidly aa possible, and
increase the sue to a nix column quar
to as soon as the advertising patronage
will warrant it. Tlie writer and fam
ily have come here to make Indepen
dence their home. We are interested
in the welfare of thecomniunity, and
we stated in the first iue we ale
working for a greater Independence
and a greater country unrounding.
Will you help lis? PUcourgement
and gossip will binder it success le
yond measure. Then let us work to
got her a one body for greater I tide-peiulcnee.
YET PROGRESSIVE
Almost iimnediatsly after the gen
eral election the cry went out "Hard
Time Coming." Thi has frequently
been the complaint when election
have not resulted as the majoritj
party might deiire, but in thi case
the hum of industry ha thu far
droAncd the cry, and the voice of des
pair i no longer heard in this part of
Oregon. While there may be an ap
parent lull in the money market, con
dition areas favorable as in former
venra and wo can see no reason w hy
conditions should be changed under
the uresent management at ash
ington. Hanks are show ing good re
turns, factories are in operation and
the whole country is just now a luy
mirtion of the world. Let u hope
that confidence may be maintained
an.l that tlia oettv political dirTereii
ce will not retard the the success of
this great commonwealth.
