WILSOSVILSE Cnruly Pupils Causing Trouble In School- Potato and Other Crops, Wilsosvillk, Oct. As per announce ment which appeared through the columns of the ExTtKFRi8t almost a year ago the people of this place have for several months past been anxiously awaiting the birth of the Daily Enterprise:, and we cannot understand the delay. A bright, clean and newsy daily like the Enterprise has al ways proven itself to be is a public necessity in this county, and we believe that Oregon City alone to say nothing of out side help has a population sufficiently large to sup port such an enterprise. For the benefit of tbe numreoos enquirers would you Mr. Iditor be kind enough to stat through your paper when we might expect its in itial number. Our school which started in for a six month's term few weeks since, has en rolled among its forty scholars quite a large number that are pngelisticly inclined, so much so that nntil of late but few days have passed by but what we have received news of.a en round contest. In response to au urgent request from the schixd teacher, John Rose, a member of the board of directors visited the school one day last week and in his ablest style delivered a Terr eloqnsnt plea urging the guilty parties to quit surb disgraceful practice and among other things informed the articipants that if they did not mend their ways they would be expelled from school. Since then peace and harmony have reigned supreme. Miss G. B. Jones, our school teacher, has been very busy of late organizing a literary society and has so far succeeded that all she lacks now is the consent of the directors to use the school house for that purpose. The directors should by all means grant her request as an organization of this kind is beneficial to both young and old. C. T. Tooxe wbo sold bis farm a few weeks since, contemplates selling at public auction next Saturday all his farm machiners, cook ing utentials, horses, cattle, and various other commodities too numerous to men tion. A large crowd it expected. The potato crop is being taken out of the ground as fast as the weather will permit and the yield is turning out fairly well averaging about 100 bushels per acre. Hon. John Kruse, who has the largest patch in the state, has qnite a large lorce of China, men at work. The farmers here have to depend a good deal on potatoes this vear for their profit if indeed they make any, -with wheat at 58 cents and scarcely enough oats to feed the horses. It is going to crowd the majority ot the farmers here to make both ends meet. H. 8. Gibson, our school superintendent, visited our school last week. Mr. Gibson has given entire satisfaction in this part of the county and his renomination and re election will be quite agreeable hereabouts Miss Hosa Wagner, wbo is working in the employ of Hon. John Kruse paid ber par ents of this place a short visit today. Stranger. strong, and who has been tiring on the Ka mona for some three or four years Is attend ing the Portland ltnsinrss college this winter. Mrs. J. F. Eaton, who has been very low with typhoid malaria, is able to sit up part of the time, having been sick live weeks, i Mr. and Mrs. Hidings of tilad Tidings were visiting at the residencetof Win. While and S. Wright during last Saturday and Sunday. J. R. Cole is having a coat of paint a plied to his house by a man trom Aurora, ! which is adding greatly to the apiarance of his place. 0 H. Wright has some eleven acres of wheat and is preparing to sow more. Otis Morris returned from Oregon City. He says that working in the Shoddy mill did not agree with him. The late frost did a great deal of damage to grapes along the Molalla bottom. It (rote so hard that it is expected the late grapes will not have any flavor even if we bave enough good weather to ripen them, therefore great many bushels will have to be thrown away. I. Heins believes that hops will be up be fore long so he is holding for twenty-five cents. SAN 11 Y. Good Weather for Farm Work- Sew Settlers A Lively Party. Sasdt.OcI.'.Vi. The Hue weather is hailed with Joy by everybody, and farmers are busy plowing and sowing grain. Nearly all the potatoes have been dug, but the crop is not extra heavy. New settlers are still coming in every day to locate here. All the Sandy people wel come them. There is room for more. If settlers continue to come in as they have this fall it w ill not be long till the Sandy country w ill be the thickest settled part of this county.

Good, the seven-year old son of Captain Good of the steamer Young Amer ica, fell from the steamer last Friday In front of Kiverdale and was drowned, Cap tain Good was on his way to Oregon City when Mr. Kvani at Riverdale engaged him to tow a house boat across the river. Just as the steamer started the lad, who had been playing about the upper deck, went down to the lower deck. A moment later Captain Good heard a splash and on run ning out of the wheelhouse be saw his boy in the water along side with his hands over his face and sinking. The captain rang the bell to stop the boat and Uen jumped In after the boy but was unable to rescue him. It was thought the little follow must have struck something as he fell, hut no bruise was found on the body. It was recovered by one of the boat's crew, Peter Johnson, Sunday afternoon. Captain Good and family are welt known about Milwaukee, as they resided here sev eral years, he being captain of the little pas senger boat Young America that plied be tween Portland and Milwaukee.
