ENTERPRISE Will A, If you are building this year specify elec tric lights. It is safe to say that 90 per cent of the houses built in La Grande this year will install them. No home is modern without them. They are as important as sanitary plumbing. Good lights are equally important, how ever, if you happen to live in a rented house. Your landlord owes it to you, and you owe it to yourself to have nothing but the best light. Electric lights are easily installed and will prove a source of lasting satisfaction to you.

In the next inning Enterprise also put 2 more scores to her credit making the total sum of four scores. The game ended with a tame finish as the Wallowans could not reach the mark set by their opponents. Enterprise outclassed the locals in batting.
