THE ENTERPRIsE editor may have
faults and the Enterprise az news
paper may not have all the attrib-
utes of greatness which might
characterize publication, but one
thing the Enterprise scribe can cay
that no man ever had a rope in
the shape of a mortgage about our
neck to such an extent that we felt
impelied to espouse the cause of
any candidate against our better
judgment. Any man who will con.
tinue to run a newspaper and con.
tinue to attempt to form public
opinion at the behest of one who
dare not come out in the open in
an attempt to personally do the
work he would have done and
directs from under cover is rightly
considered naught but a weakling
"a wart on the social scale of a
community, whose presence is
tolerated purely because of the fact
that the world has passed the dark
ages.

Snowslides Are Many.

Last week Robt. Morrison, the
stage proprietor, said there were
at least seventeen snowslides
along the wagon road between
Clayton and Custer. Forum
ately no one was caught, in any
of the slides, although Mr.. Nor
rison barely escaped one in Yam
kee Fork canyon. The largest
slide is near Robinson Bar at
the Treon cabin, and is said to
be 300 feet long and has filed
up the road with snow and trees
to a depth of 40 feet, and is i'm
passable for the stage and the
mail is carried across it by the
drivers.
The snow last week in two
days nearly all disappeared, and
the who country was flooded
with water, which in consequen-
ce has made all the mails very
irregular. From Custer we did
not get a mail from Sunday eve
ming till Friday evening, and
from Salmon it was from Mon
day night to Saturday before we
received a mail. But from Mac
kay only once during the week
the stage failed to arrive. but
tile railroad did not bring any
mail. Last Monday, Feb. 28th
we received railroad mail, ther
the next mail we got was Marcl

Saturday night the 9Th. So yo'

stroyed the earth and we up il

Time Is Money.

Millions of dollars are being
spent every year by all the big
railroad companies to save the
time it takes to get to distant
points, to reduce grades and to
straighten out curves in their
tracks, for the same purpose. 1t
is just as important to us, as in
dividuals, to save our energy and
time. How many farmers know
the distance they travel in plow-
ing one acre OF gr0und-we will
say, with q twelve-inch plow
Most of you will be surprised to
know that it is 8 and 2-1O miles.
If you plow up an ordinary farm
of 100 acres you and your team
walk 1872 miles, and if you
should plow q full section it
means SPAS miles. If some one
should ask you to take q walk
with them of eight miles, you
would be apt 10 say Excuse
me, not today" And if any one
should venture to say to take
walk of 1872 miles, you are apt
to say: Say, my friend, have
you gone clear crazy ?" And if
he should ask you to walk 5,248
miles, you would willingly go
into court and take oath that he
was a raving maniac. Yet it is
only the truth, and there are
many farmers who plow each
year as much as q whole section.
The 100 acres is only an average
farm. And should you plOw five
sections of land you will travel
more than the distance around
the earth at the Equator. just
think of the mighty power it
takes to conduct the farming
Operations of the United States.
It is fact that the ploW con-
sumes more power than all the
