Mint
Mink, Pec. fi, l'p to the present time
there is only about ten pr cent, of the in
tended amount of fall wheat sown on ac
count of the wet weather, and as the win

only damage is a broken railing.

1 am requested to say that a majority of
the people on this side of the Molalla road
w ish to lie remembered w hen the route for
the new road is laid out. The route sug
gested by " Rex" in a previous issue of the
KsTsitrKisK would tfiietit this place. High
land and Clarks or iiingo Point. I think
there is equally as much travel on the
Highland as there is on the Molalla road.
Hut some say we are not going to raise as
much money as they will on the other side.
I think every one will do the best he can.
The majority here are for a plank road.
Most.

Siw Era, Pec. il. Winter has rattier
broke loose in our midst on sull scale.
Protracted meeting still continues at the
Central Point M. K. church. So far there
have been thirteen accessions to the church
membership. May the dood work continue
with unbounded success.
Mr. D. H. Telcher, of Grangeville, Idaho,
isexiecteii to arrive at any time to join his
family and spend the winter with relatives
and friends at this place. Mr. Telcher was
many years ago a resident of this county.
Tiie rliiuring mill at New Era is receiving
its new machinery as well as a new Ix-llVIl
turbine wheel. When this mill is ready for
making Hour it will be second to no mill of
the same capacity in the state, and will be
greatly appreciated by friends in this local
ity. Many people about Sew Era are going to
Canby to do their trading since Mr. W. W.
Jesse went to ISarlows. There is no fault
to be found with the Canby merchants, but
it is rather inconvenient, and what is greatly
needed just now is some good live business
man to start a good general merchandise
store at New Era. Undoubtedly there is no
better chance ior an opening than at New
Era. Where and who is the man?
R. I). Stone is shipping his apple crop to
a retail dealer in Sherman county in this
state for which he says he receives a good
net profit.
Lawrence Furguson, the New Era gar
dener, on going to Oregon City last week

eled a new road which was just seven feet
under the old one.
Wni. Gntperlet has contracted a twenty
acre job of slashing to Henry Geibrick, and
in addition to that is slashing about twenty
acres himselt. Shorty.
Marks Prslrie
Mr. Ben Richardson, who has been work
ing on the prairie for some time left for
Portland last week to accept a position with
the Pacific Elevator Company as sack
server. Mr. Ellis Toogood, of Nebraska, is visit
ing with his sisters. Mrs. J. F. May and Mrs
F. H. Hilton. He expresses himself as be
ing well pleased with this country and may
decide to locate here.
Mr. Neil Jackson is moving from Barlows
to Marks prairie. He says ifl our prairie
was a little nearer to Aurora, our postottice
and shipping point, it would certainly be
the boss of the vallev and be is right.
Chris Kocher, our poultryman, is the
happiest man on the prairie. Its a boy and
Chris had no scales on the ranch large
enough to weigh him on, so had to take him
all the way to Aurora, as he was bound to
have the weight of the youngster if wheat
was worth five dollars a bushel.
We might also say that Jas. I. Dozier is
in the same boat, only a little more so. Its
a girl less than two weeks old.
We understand that Win. Shields has
disposed of his saw mill to his father who is
now in Portland purchasing additional
machinery for the mill.
Mr. Shields is hauling his lumber to
Aurora now owing to there being no bottom
to the road leading to Harlow Station.
Wo heard yesterday in Aurora that prep
arations are now being made to light the
streets of the town. This is a move in the
right direction and speaks well for the en
terprise of that place. .
Mr. Editor please allow Mark's prairie
to have a little say on the road question.
We want a direct outlet to Oregon City
without going around Robin Hood's barn
by way of Barlow's station and would there
fore call attention to the following route as
being in every way available: Starting at
Ben Wolfer'g place on the Needy road and
running in a northeasterly direction by
John Jesse's farm and through by Polk
Cribble's and I. Clouser's place, and inter
secting with the Good bridge. The open
ing up of this route would greatly accom
modate the people of this whole prairie and
surrounding country.
We trust the present agitation of the
road question will result in important
changes in our county Mads, and putting
all of them in better condition.

Sandy, IVc. ?. The llrst open meeting of
the Mt, Hood lodge of the farmers' alliance
on Saturday, IHvetulier ft, was tolerably
well attended, owing probably to the mud,
sleet, hart) times, and the consequent Indus
trious habits of the " north o' Sandy" peo-
pie, IjisI but not least the unwilling alisence
of the less thoughtful element of our highly
civilised community; 1 mean the dancers.
Some four weeks ago in the near vicinity
of ourlnlant city, Marmot, there was herd
of swine feeding on the crumb dropped
bout the school house by the children
like farmers gleaning the leavings of mo
nopolics. One porker tall, stately, and bolder
thu the rest, and of course candidate for
otlice, o)ened the school house door either
by means of the passw ord or with his nose.
The rest followed with enthusiasm very
much as the voting population obey politl
cal leadership. They then went into secret
caucus and with their snout closed the
door. They must have forgotten the retir
ing password for they remained there three
weeks without food, when, happily, the
time arrived for another country dance, so
the quadrueds were released. And the
floor manager, rinding need for something
more than a broom and elbow grease w ith
w hich to clear the decks, luckily bethought
him of the magical etteets of music and the
well known mettle and persisteutency of the
quadrillikers. So Saturday night their lit
eral line-down drew away many who had
meant hi attend the alliance. Hut our loss
was probably their gain, for by uiidnigt they
took a short interval of rest and instituted a
raid upon their well tilled baskets with, no
doubt, good healthy appetites.
Our lodge program of afternoon exer
cises was considcrahl.v shortened on account
of our lecturer, Pr. Ingraham, being too
much belated to take ('art ; but he has prom
ised to lecture January i on phyical labor
and February T on the stairway of civilisa
tion. Pon't forget our location and ap-
IHiintnients, two and a half miles north of
Sandy post oilice. First Saturday of every
month oen meeting; third Saturday closed.
And should accident bring you near us
come and take note of proceedings.

Molalla.
Molalla, IXv. I. It has been said that
the Enterprise is far ahead of the town in
which it is published. It ought to be grati
fying to know that at last the proper mean
ing of the Entsi-iiss has lieen illustrwird,
and that your valuable par will hereafter
be looked upon as the head of all enter
prises. As Oregon City bs become place
of push w e suggest tht the definition of the
Enteri'Risk lie placed on file as an Iron
compliment of th third degree. All per
sons desiring not to know what is going on
all over the county should not subscribe for
the best county paper in the state; for even
small children know the news when the
ENTsarRiBE goes.
The writer nevwr remembers seeing tlx
mountain ranges so free from show t this
time of the year.
Many farmers ar butchering their bogs
now, and on account of the muddy mad,
unlimited, to Oregon City, are obliged to
seek a market lor their pork elsewhere.
Mr. W. Adams, of the wagon and under
taking business, has a lot of mouldings now
in stock, and is prepared to furnish neat
and handsome picture frames of various
styles at very moderate prices.
Wm. Mackrell, of the harness business,
had the misfortune to cut his hand
while splitting kindling wood, wbich oc
curredjby the axe strikingsome object above
him when he went to strike.
Mrs. Julia Dibble has just finished weav
ing a splendid rag carpet for the postmaster,
which is put together in a manner that
would be a credit to factory looms in lormer
times. Mrs. Dibble used to give her atten
tion to weaving flannels.
William A. Shaver, having finished his
stump seeding for the season, has taken up
his studies at the Monmouth normal college.
Mr. Shaver was formerly a student of the
Willamette university.
Elder G. I'. Rich and wife, of Damascus,
are visiting their daughter, Mrs. Dart. He
is recovering from the injury he sustained
few months ago to one of his legs.
The coyotes made themselves familiar
with a number of sheep in this vicinity re
cently. An attempt has been made to run
them back where they were raised, near
Russellville. They follow the hounds back
the same night when pushed pretty brisk
all day long, ami the extermination of the
wolves seems to largely depend on the sup
ply of sheep.
Several writers on the road question pro
pose running south from the Myers place
into the Molalla country. I will take the
liberty to say that that will strike us as
about right. The Everhart hill will be the
only difficulty about here to surmount, and
that can be easily avoided by going a little
to the west or the east as the rail road en
gineers did. We vote for not over a two per
cent, grade whatever kind of a road is built.
The Sawtell brothers have their house
about ready to move into and will soon be
living at home again.
Some improvement has recently been
made about town in the way of cross walks.
Of course the extra supply of mud sug
gested the planks.
Prof. Dugan is at work on canvass devel
oping some large paintings for the holiday
trade. His studio is now over the umlertak
er's.
The half dozen clerks in our stores have
their hands full passing Jout goods to cus
tomers. Robbins & Kayler are preparing to pack
some pork.
Mr. AI. Gray, formerly of this place, is in
with a pork packing firm atMarquam.
