The Enterprise, ur.ilor it .s new own
ership, (ices not desire to make any
( tended snnouneement ;t this time,
i ivolvine: anticipations which may not
1 e realized. It believes, hovevor, in
Independence ami that it is situated
i:i the midst of the finest farming
-etion in the Willamette Valley,
i nd of course, this means Oregon. Its
roductivity in j, ing to crease
normously, simply I y following the
I jtter tillage methods, which are now
: j generally in vogue, ::nd an enlarge
ment of the stock industry.
The Enterprise hopes to get in
( 'ose touch with the farmers and per
i aps do something which may be of
j ssistar.ee to them even though it be
i n more than a word of cheer now and
len. Agriculturists are struggling
j rainst a continual mounting of costs
ithout a corresponding increase in
levcnue from their products and it is
a foregone conclusion that this condi
tion of affairs cannot become chronic.
1 Hiring the past few years, while most
industries have been the most pros
perous in the history of the country,
farmers, generally speaking, have not
shared in this melon cutting.
A newspaper is a quasi-publie in
stitution. Without the moral, as well
as the financial, support of its read
ers it cannot continue successfully.
The Enterprise believes in the square
deal doctrine and shall endeavor to
conduct it along such lines Xatur
rlly mistakes will be made, but there
will be no intention to wrong anyori"
vrnless such procedure is deemed ne
cessary for the welfare of the com
munity. And please benr in mind that the
columns of the Enterprise are always
succeeds O. IX Center, who resignet'
lust October.

the most powerful organizations of
