CLACKAMAS COUNTY THE ENTERPRISE (OR It FN POX IV EXTS SWEEP THE 11ELI. Wllsnnvillc People Want tho Comity Court to Explain Itig ltitrn Local Notes mid Items of Interest. W'ilsonvilli, June IS. For tlio benelit of numerous Inquirers would the Count v Court be kind enough to state through the J columns of the Kntkki'KIsk (he reason they do not place the bridge tlist crosses the Tu alatin river in a passable condition. The greatest query in the minds of the people of this place is why the bridge whs built in the first place. Hut now that it is built, and 4000 of the taxpayers' money has been squandered therein, we have a not unrea sonable desire to know why the County Court does not complete the work and place the bridire in a passable condition for the convenience of the traveling public. An explanation on their part will be anxiously awaited. Homer A. Krose succeded in passing bis post graduate course at the Salem univers ity last week and by so doing has attained the highest grade that can be obtained at that institution. He has also been retained as teacher in he piano and violin depart ment, and will commence teaching Septem ber 1st. Hon. John Kruse and wife, the pa rents of the youi'g professor, were present at the graduating exercises and are justly proud of their son's success. Wheat has all headed out and the pros pect for a crop above the average is more I promising than ever. The continuous showery weather is helping the oat crop out wonderfully, and In spite of the late sowing we may yet have a fairly large crop. Potatoes are all planted and we now anx iously await the harvest which is not far distant. K. P.' Brown of Portland has been send ing a vacation of a few weeks at this place, and is a guest at the Kruse residence.

It would be a great convenience to this section if a good physician would locate in this part of the county, say at Sandy post office. We think he could build up a large practice. From sixteen to thirty-five miles is a long distance to go for a doctor, and people will get sick even in this country.

Fruit is dropping badly, espe cially pears and cherries. The bee business is having a small boom in this neighborhood. Several have small apiaries started and doing fairly well. The present road law is not in favor by the majority of the people in this part of the county, as clearing the road of fallen timber and filling up mudholes has to be done by volunteer work if it is done at all. Some predict there will be a marked im provement in our roads in the near future We sincerely hope there will be. W, Molalla.
