SATURDAY, DECEMBER 25, 1909.
1909 WAS GOOD TO US.

The year just ending has been the
best 12 months in the short history
df Wal,owa county and Of the city
of Enterprise, the county seat.
There has been a larger and more
rapid increase of wealth, and the
entire year shows no large entry on
the debit side o., the account.
The first and largest factor in the
general diffusi1n of prosperity
among all the people, has been the
railroad, for by it cash markets have
been created at all the stations for
everything the farmer raises. This
has given cash to those who have
hitherto had to depend on barter of
what they raised to secure what
they needed.
A secondary result of the rail
road is the beginning of cultivation
Of the vast areas of wheat land in
this county. 1t is the estimate of a
conservative banker, who probably is
in nearer touch with conditions than
anyone else in the county that 10,-
900 more acres Oh land in the vicin-
ity of Enterprise alone, will be seed
ed this coming season than ever be-
fore.
The second big factor in wealth
gain has been the high prices for
everything Of which we raise a sur
plus--grain, hay, cattle, hogs, horses,
sheep and wool. This, with good
crops, has made the producer king,
and he Iflts the throne so we'll it is
easy TO see he was cut out for the
job.
Goodbye, 1909. You have been
good to us. We'come, 1910. Beat
'09 If you can.
