CLACKAMAS COUNTY THE ENTERI'RINE (OKRESPOSD E.MS SWEEP THE FIELD. Commltees Appointed to Get lp a Monster Fourth r July Celebra tion at I'nlmi I'ark Memor lul Day Observed at Viola. Rcdi.and, June 8. J. J. Bsryfeld left yesterday tor Walla Walla for a couple of week visiting. E. Richardson returned from Idaho, where he has been working. He slates work and money scarce. W. W. Miers one of our prosperous farmers, has been having some slashing done. Quite a number of the Rrdlandera at tended the school picnic at Stone Saturday last All said they had a good lime. P. P. Linn talks or returning to Eastern Oregon in the near future, to work. Mrs. A. Sprague, Mrs. 8. 8. Mosher and on Harry have been visiting at Portland, and vicinity the past few days. There is a petition being circulated to change the road up Linn's hill. We believe it would be just about right A good road up (bis hill would be something that would be appreciated by every man who is con cerned in the welfare ol the neighborhood as it would be a good road both winter a. id summer and besides there would be a way for our road boss to get to town when the the Abernelhv road sets impassable. It seems as if it as about time the law waa being enforced on those people who will not send their children to school. Because they grew up in igorance is no reason that their children should. We are sorry to say it but some children in our neighborhood have not attended two months in the past three years, and from the looks of things they are not going unless the law is used on the persons, who have charge of them. M . Richardson was in Portland on busi ness yesterday. The program for children's day is com pleted. The exercises will begin next Sun day at 11 o'clock instead of 10 o'clock as was stated in a recent paper. We understand there will be a pie social at the residence of Geo. Armstrongs in the near future. The boys, who thought tbey could get rich cutting cord wood, came back fully satisfied. We understand they made nearly 25 cents a day. C. E. Walenstine left yesterday for Astoria, where be will attend school. Wm. Bonny comes to town quite often f late. Those wedding bells will soon ring. Instead af having a celebration at Ked land, we joined hands with Viola, Logan, 8pringwater and Curransvilleand will have the biggest Fourth of July celebration ever beld in this part of the county. A commit tee of three Irom the five towns met near Viola last Saturday afternoon to arrange details. The following committees were elected: Oratory, Mr. Shibley and Wm. Levelling; music, D. C.

The celebration will be beld an Saturday, July 3d, at Union Park, one and one-half miles east of Viola on the Spring water road. Memorial day was observed by the Red land school going to Viola Friday where tbey assisted the Viola school in the exer cises. Viola school was to have come and assist our school in the program here but on account of sickness of the teacher and aome of the pupils they did not come, so the program was short It was as follows: Marching from the schoolhou-e to the cem etery ; songs, When the Roll is Called up Yonder, Battle Hymn of the Republic; prayer by Mr. Hicinootbam; two quota tions. Maud and Willie Stone; short talks by H. D. Johnson, Mr. Bebimer, Geo. Hic inbotham, C. Rulheford; the program was closed with a recitation and a couple more orgs.
