A Good Thing.

A good paper is one thing ncees-
sary to good towr, and the
good people mustsupport it-must
own it and control it.
The Enterprise has pulled for
Fitzgerald since the very first days
Fof the colony. 1t was the first
paper issued here, and since it has
been under the present manage
ment has done more for the town,
so good people say, than anything
or any body.
The present company was not
organized to make money but to
make Fitzgerald grow, but it has
done both and paid back to stock
holders their money in dividends.
It has prospered every year.
There is one objection, it has
been too much of a one man paper.
We want to change that, enlarge
the paper and put it i'll it's own
nome. We want you in the new
company.

Unaccountable things will occur in the public
prints and one of those that seem to be entirely
unexpainable is the statement attributed to Geor.
gias Governor to the effect that ''the negro will
not be cOntented with the place of infcrioritv ,,
Governor Smith did not say it, He never used
any such language.
The article in the Taylor Trotwood maya
zine is as follows:
THE CONFINEMENT OF THE NEGRO.
Choke Smith, of Georgia, is quoted in
current magazine saying that the negro will
not 'tcOntent themselves with the place ofinfe
riority." We can scarcely believe that one
who knows the negro as we'll as does Mr.
Smith, makes such an assertion. Even in the
days of his political majority the negro acccp,
ted his place of inferOrty. Not once has he
ever asked for anything in the South the white
race has not been willing to give him. What
ever may be Said of him he is the most easily
satisfied and most dOcilp work mlu alive With
any other race but the negro in the South.

would never let it be known that be ever

ceptS his place and all he wants is a chance TO
make his half living in his own way and have
the other half of bis time to loaf''
We quite agree with the Editor the Maya
zine in all thlt he said here, except the mis-
quotation, or false qu,tlt.ol of Governor Smith.

Mhiskey Men Losing Money.

New YOrk-EnOrmous financial loss to the
liquor trade has already occurred, owing to the
prohibition wave that is sweeping the country
and the end is not yet.
This is admitted by E. Freund; of the Wine
and Spirit Gazette, of this city, which is pub
lished in the interests of wine and liquor i'm
porters and manufacturers of the united States.
In the same article quoted above, Mr.. Freund
goes on in semi appealing strain about this loss
But, rest assured, he does not say anything
about the gain that the wives and children have
made through the husbands and fathers not hay
ing spent so much money for whiskey. He does
not say anything about the increased school atten
dance and most of all he says nothing about the
relief it has brought to the wives and mothers and
the happiness to the children.

In the news columns of the Enterprise today
there is significant item about business conditions.
The articles states, among ether things, that
business in all branches is picking up and that
cotton is not to blame for the increase, as far as
Fitzgerald is concerned. The dealings in real es
tate has been marked feature this past week and
the transactions have been with outside parties
who have come here to locate and have bought lots
with the view of building on them. This has in
creased the trade in lumber and other building ma
terial in this market. 1t has also put to work
many men that have been effected by the panic,
which, by the way, has never been felt in Fitz-
gerald as it has in many parts of the state.
Added to these is the fact that cotton come
ing into the market has put into circulation many
thousands of dollars and business people here gen
orally are wearing broad smile.
1t is only another illustration why Fitzgerald
deserves the name she bears of being the fastest
growing city in the south for her size.

TheOregonian does notsay anything about the
cotton product which this year will net the farmers
of the cotton belt over seven hundred millions of
dollars fer the fibre in the raw state Then there
is the value of the seed and the other products,
which will add another hundred million.
Manufactured, cotton amounts to several bill
lion of dollars annually and amounts to more
in the worlds commerce than any other crop,
product or commodity. Yet the South would still
be rich if not boil of cotton were grown in it, 1t
would be rich from the fact that the sol will pro-
duce more abundant crops of any food or product,
for man or beast, than any section of the country

BIG MILL FOR WALLoWA.
Lumber Company
Installing Fine Plant.

Charles H. Mimnaugh leaves this
where he goes to get things in mo-
ton for the construction of the big
sawmill at that place to be owned and
operated by the Nibley- -Mimnaugh
Lumber company, says 1le La Grande
Star. This company was incorporated
a few months ago, and the intention
is to have the proposed mill enterprise
under way as soon as the railroad
reaches the town of Wallowa or as
soon thereafter as practicable.
The NibleyMimnaugh Lumber
company has a capitalization Of $780,
900. The principal stockholders are
C. w. Nibley, Mrs. p H. limbaugh
and her two sons, James H. and Chas.
H. Mimbaugh.
A portion of the stock is held by
local parties in the town of Wallowa
The company owns timber lands which
II is estimated will cut 35,000,000 feet
a quantity that will keep their plant
running for fe wyears at least. They
expect to put in band mill of about
$4,000 feet daily capacity.
The mill will be located at the town
OF Wallowa and a logging road of sew
eral miles length will be used for
bringing the logs to the mill. This
road will extend a distance of several
miles in northeasterly direction from
the mill yards.
This will .be a great enterprise for
the town Of Wallowa and will be In
operation very shortly after the rail-
road reaches the town. The people
interested In this enterprise have large
in the lumber business,
being heavily interested in the Grand
Ronde Lumber company at Perry.
They also have abundant capital to
carry their plans into effect.

NEED PREACHERS
CHRISTIAN CHURCH COULD
USE 500 IN NORTHWEST.
Meeting of East Washington Christian
Missionary Society Reveals Magni-
tude Of Church Work In Inland EN-
pire-Over 400 Young Ministers Are
Needed by the Church.

With the attendance of the delegates
swelled to about ESQ, the meeting of
East Washington Christian Missionary
society, being held here this week, is
one Of the biggest and most enthusi-
astic that body has ever gathered to-
gether.
Delegates were still arriving this
morning, but it is thought that all are
here now and probably the deIega-
tions are as nearly full as they will be.
The reports of officers followed, the
first being that of the corresponding
secretary, which showed a remarkable
increase along all lines OF the Chris
tian church work.
There have been 5000 additions in
the membership of the churches rep
resented at this convention; Is new
churches have been built; $4,000 or
$4,000 has been expended in church
buildings and the general interests
and work of the church has increased
$50 per cent. In the reports Of the
treasurer and of the committees there
was little or nothing of general inter-
est. The reports of the churches were
omitted.
Dean f. C. Sanderson, of Eugene,
Ore, made an interesting talk on min
isterial supply. He said that the
church at present could put 1000
preachers to work; 500 could be i'm
m ediately used in the northwest. The
need is growing out of proportion to
the supply and he made an eloquent
appeal to young men to get in this
work.

BENEFIT FOR BABIES.
"Mothers' Rest" at Coney Island Will
Be Added.

! A benefit performance of THE
Wolf will be given at the Lyceum In
New York and is expected to add
/ thousands of dollars to the fund for
Saving the babies" OF New York dur
/ ing the hot summer months. The en-
| tire proceeds OF the performance, in
which many prominent actresses and
actors will participate, will go to the
Mothers Seaside Rest Home at CO.
ney Island beach. A feature of the
performance will be an enormous
flower booth. at which several beauti-
full women of the stage will sell flow
ers at prices based on all the traffic
will bear. Several other amusement
houses will probably give benefits and
several large private subscriptions
have been received. including $500
from william Randolph Hearst.
Aside from the Mothers Rest at
Coney Island beach. numerous other
charitable organizations will take part
in a concerted plan to save the lives
of the thousands of infants and child
rem who would otherwise certainly
perish during the summer. In past
years, this relief work has been car
ried on in a desultory and inorganic
ed manner, with the result that the
slaughter of the innocents has been
appalling. For the first time in any
American city a systematlcal official
effort is TO be made to save the little
ones.
To put this plan into execution, the
city has been divided into districts,
with so agencies prepared to give in
structions to mothers in the care of
their children, or to nurse and care
for the little ones when the mothers
find it impossible to do so in a proper
manner.
1t is the first time that any Ameri-
can city has undertaken to care for
100 per cent of the babies needing
care. Plans are being made to learn
what is being done in every part of
the city. The health board has ap-
pealed to private agencies to unite in
aiding the work and to keep the city
officials posted where private aid is
not sufficient. Dispensaries, hospit-
ais, dry nuseries and individual phy-
sicians have agreed to unite in giving
instructions to mothers during the
hot weather.
Physicians interested in the work
declare that 1t will be absolutely ne
cessary, to save the lives of many
women and children. that they be sent
out of the city during the hottest part
OF the summer, and the Seaside Rest,
for which today's benefit is given,
will accommodate a large number Of
these.
