STATE INSPECTOR
VISITS ORCHARDS


State Horticultural Inspector Guy
Graham spent a portion of last
week in this vicinity and at Fruit
land. Mr.. Graham was a welcome
visitor, as usual, at the Enterprise
office. He is of the opinion that the
apple crop throughout this section is
going TO turn out about so per cent
OF what would be considered a nor
NAL yield, and that the quality is
more than likely to be rather un-
usually fine He says the prune crop
is simply big and that the fruit is
looking mighty coed at the present
time. Inspector Graham is spending
as much of his time as is possible
in the various portions of the state
where the fruit industry has been
extensively developed and says he
has been pleased to find the men
who have their means invested in
orchards ready and willing to CO.
operate with his department in its
efforts to eradicate every pest or
or anything detrimental 10

raising industry of the state.

THE HOME TOWN
BY KELS DARLING

Do you own property in this town
Have you farm near this town? L
this your nearest trading point? In
other words, when you are away q
you call this your home town? If so
you are vitality and materially inter
ested in its welfare.
VIII this town live, much less ga 4
in wealth and population? Statistics
show that large percent of the
towns of less than 10000 are gong
backward. The future of this town is
in the hands of its citizens. The
towns that will live are the towns
that give service.
In twenty-five states the rural COM
mUnities have actually lest or falcd
to gain, proportionately, in popula-
ton. In Pennsylvania, 1.520 towns
have gone backward in the last ten
years.
Draw a circle with a radius of ten
miles around each of the fcrty-seven
largest cities IN the United States.
Fake a census of the population and
you will find living within the con
fines of these circles approximately
27,500, 900 people, or about one-thir
of all the people of continental Unit
ed States. They occupy one twenty
thousandth part of the entire area
of the country.
The town of one thousand, or over,
should be the social, spiritual and
commercial CENTER fer the people
within the radius of six to eight
miles Are you trying to make your
town such a center?
A spirit of pride engendens pride.
A few citizens of any community
who believe in clean streets, free
from waste paper and empty tobac-
co tins, can, by precept and example,
create a spirit of civic pride in all
the people that will make fer q
clean town A spirit of town loyalty,
exercised by the really patriotic
men and women of this town will do |
wonders. Practice what you preach.
Each one doing his or her part
every day can make this a town of
grass instead OF weeds, of flowers,
Of cleaner streets, more pretty door
yards, town of larger and better
stores, town of loyal endeavor born
Of a knowledge of the interdepend-

THE LIBERTY BELL

The Bell was cast in London in
1852 by order of the Assembly Of
Pennsylvania, at a cost of one hun.
dred pounds sterling. 1t was brought
to Philadelphia in that year and al
i the first trial was cracked by a
stroke of the clapper without any
other violence"
Pass and Stow, two Philadelphia
ingenious workmen" undertook the
recasting of the Bell. The first
trial was not satisfactory, the Liber-
ty Bell being the result of the sec-
ond effort. The cost was so L 80 s. 5
(about sSO3).
The Bell was hung in the tower
of independence Hall and used to
convene the Assembly, call public
meetings, and on July s, 1776, it rang
when the Declaration of Independ-
ence was proclaimed-theD Declaration
having been adopted on Jelly 2, and
formally ratified as a public expires
sion on July 4, 1776.
In 1777, when Philadelphia was
about to be invaded, the Fell was
taken to Allentown, Pa. 1t was r.
turned in the same year and rung on
every occasion of note-in triumph
when CORVALLIS surrendered at
Yorktown, in sorrow when Washing
ton was buried, in Joy when Lafay-
cite revisited America.
During the funeral obsecuies of
Chief Justice John Marshall of the
Supreme Court, the Great Expound-
er of the Constitution, on July s,
1895, it rang for the last time.
Patriotic pilgrimages of the Lib
erty Bell were-1SS5, New Orleans,

position; 1895, Atlanta, Cotton States

in-curve of the Bell the measure
ment is feet, over the crown 1t IS
2 feet 8 inches. The clapper Is
feet inches long.
The main lettering about the crown
is in two lines reading:

The Liberty Bell stopped at Pay
cite. 1t was seen by thousands ci
people who would never have beer
given an opportunity to look upon il
if it had not stopped in this city,
The train remained here longer than
could have besn expected, consider
ing the fact that the itinerary shows
that throughout the route from
Philadelphia, outside of few OF
the large cities. the stops did not
exceed five minutes. The historic
bell is being taken to the Panama
Exposition by the Philadelphia CON-
NIKE at an expense of $4,000. 1t
will remain at the fair only five
days, returning to Philadelphia by
the most direct routes, without max
ing any stops for exhibition.
Large numbers of people from both
Lontario and Vale, Oregon, and from
N,the surrounding towns in the Pay
cite Valley came to this city 10 see
the bell.
In spite of the fact that the notice
was very short, the announcement
sent broadcast Saturday afternoon
and Sunday, that the Liberty Bell
would make short stop in Payette,
brought out a crowd estimated at
anywhere between $500 and 5000. 1t
was not only the town dwellers but
people from every direction in the
surrounding country in radius of
fifteen or twenty miles, who took
advantage of the opportunity to see
the famous old relic.
1t was a patriotic crowd and a
good-natured crowd. While there was
q perfect jam of humanity lined up
along the railroad for several hun
dred feet awaiting the arrival of the
special train carrying the bell, there
was the best of order, no pulling and
hauling and crowding such as is
often. witnessed on such occasions. 1t
was noticeable that the women were

NAVAL BUILDING PROGRAM
 FIGHT NOW ON IN HOUSE
Chairman Padgett of Com. mittee Standing Firm for
 Two Battleship Plan.

Washington, Jan. 30.-The real fight over the naval bill building pro gram began with the reading of the naval appropriation bill at the outset of today's session of the house. Gen. eral debate had closed and the house met early to expedite the measure without agreeing for a final vote.
 Chairman Padgett of the commit- tee, is standing firm for the two battleship program. But the seven teen submarines provided for in the bill are twice the number asked by Secretary Daniels and there ar other items aggregating several millions of dollars not recommended by the navy department whose elimination would not be unwelcome to MT. Padgett, who has charge of the measure.
 Many amendments, either to in crease or diminish the contemplated expenditures. awaited disposition and another late session tonight was in prospect.
 The house galleries were crowded during the session last night. Secre- tary Daniels spent several hours sit ting close to Chairman Padgett Con- siderable interest was aroused by Representative Hobson's assertion re- sarding Japan's attitude, and he made it clear that Secretary Bryan had de- nied to him that there had been any understanding with Japan regarding the United States evacuation of the Philippines or that the relations with Japan have been strained at any time during MT. Bryans term as secretary of state. MT. Hobson. however while he hoped his convictions were wrong, declared that he still believed what he had said was true.

POSTMASTER CONSIDERING IMPROVEMENTS IN SERVICE Petition for Sub-StatiOn on Main Street-May Ex-
 tend Delivery.

In response to general demand from the public, Postmaster Ira E.. Hicks is considering several impor- tant improvements in the service be- fore he goes out of office next month. Chief amongst these is the possible establishment of a new post office sub-station and the extension of the delivery into one section of the city s outskirts.
 For 8 long time past there has been general demand from not only Main street merchants and professional men who have offices in the center but also from many of the residents who live to the north and south for a post office sub-station to be located somewhere on Main street Many hold view that to walk away up to the post office for a stamp or postcard is hardship when one might be pur- chased at the center just as easily AC- cordingly big petition has been cir culated and presented to Postmaster Hicks, asking that a sub station be established at s. r. Storrs' drug store just south of the railroad tracks.
 The postmaster has taken the mat ter up with Washington and has made such a recomm endation.
 He is also considering the advisa bill ity of extending the delivery route down kensington avenue, which branches off to the eastward from the foot of Arch street. At the present time people living on this stretch of road do not have their mail delivered to them by carrier but if Postmaster Hicks plans carry through they will soon have all the advantages of their city cousins.
 Information from Washington re- ceived at the local post office today advises the authorities here to be on the alert for counterfeit money or ders, as last week several fake money orders were cashed on the post office at Baltimore, Md. The counterfeits are poor limitations to the skilled eye, 1t is said, and are printed on what is known as "laid" paper instead of safety paper" as are the government orders. However, the postmaster de- sires merchants and business men to make sure that they are not being made the butt of any counterfeiting sch eme before they agree to cash any orders.

EXPRESS GRATITUDE
 FOR XMAS GIFTS
City and Prefccts in France Send Mes sagcs of Thanks to American
 People.


 Washington, Jan. 30.-Meesas of thanks from the city of Nantes and the prefects of LeGars and LeMans for the gifts sent by American chill dren to those of France have been received at the state department through Ambassador sharp in Paris. At Nantes a number of Belgian ref ugees were among those to whom gifts were distri buted.
 This donation has touched us decp- ly," says Mayor Bellamy. Tt is both a proof of sympathy towards the sis ter nations, suffering under Prussia n occupation and an expression of pity Tor so many unfortunates, driven from their homes. The little people of France and Belgium will never for get the sacrifices of their kind friends in America As for their parents. they will remember that the descen- dants of Franklin held out their hand to the grandsons of Lafayette" In the cruel hours through which they are passing, the sympathy of the neu- tral nations is, declares, one of their chief comforts.
 Ambassador Page at London sends an official English report which says that the gifts arrived generally in ex- cellent condition.
