2 OREGON CITY ENTERPRISE, FRIDAY, FEHRUARY 23, 1900 I CORRESPONDENCE J lirdlntid li kkiand, F I). IS. TIioko who thought fpring at lie re will begin to think diflWiMit pretty toon, wont they? In my article o( the 4th in regard to tlut paragraph about Harry Hubert, I will Pity I was mihinformed and t tie boy was to blame as the evidence has shown, Am aony it wa reorted an it whs. In regard to thut road aohcine from ths south end of Oregon City I would 1 ke to say a few words. To build that lliie of road, it would take all of the county road fund tor the next year, and leave the roads elsewhere to the mercy of the unmerciful wood haulers and teamsters. This pieee of road would save a iew people one or two hours' drive in coming to,and going from Oregon City, when to leave all the rest ot the roads without repair, would canon 00 per cent of the people one to two hours more time so it looks to mo as if it would be much better to let those few people, who live within four or six miles of town, spend one or two hoars more in going and re tnrninir from town, than to let those who live out at Molalla, Highland and Ppnngwater, who have 20 miles or more to go be from one to two hours longer toiling through the mud in the dark. And as for those people about Canby, Maeksburg, Needy and the like they tiave a much better road down the river than can be got the other way in many years, if it is crossed several times by the S. 1'. R. R. If the south end of town does not get enough trade to suit tbem, it is because they do not do the fair thing by the people, for it is as Mr. Dresser says "most of the people go to the south end of town to put up their horses." Now, these men that have been in favor, of this road would be the first to kick when the people ot this com munity and Logan wishes to construct a good road to Fortland, where man can sell a load of oats, hay or potatoes. The Enterprise says "the way to build np Oregon City is to give Oregon City your trade." I say the way for Oregon City to build itselt up is to patronize those who come there to trade and not to try to get their produce for nothing, and charge two prices for their goods. Those who favor building that road would not receive a very warm reception in this part of the county. There will be a hot time in town if you dont attend the social Friday night, at the school house. All are invited, men with pocket books and ladies with pies. x. Claude Stone left last week for Idaho, where he expects to get employment and better his health which is very poor. Ralph Bacon was seen in town the first of the week. An Iowa gentleman by the name of Koontj was in town one day last week, looking for a farm to rent. We are airry to let him go away dissppointed, but all are taken at present. Robert Guard, Miss Hester and Ern 'est Linn were over at Eagle Creek, to a wedding reception last week. Ttrey report a splendid time. tSorr.e one has been using the fence around the cemetery for a walk which makes it look badly. The law is very strict in regard to defacing public prop erty. Let this cease. The Milwaukio Grangers Urania Club have been working very hard and ninny seats are now sold, the proceeds will go to the hall fund. Miss Helena Kiel will have charge of the music, Mr. Will Lehman will direct the field mimic, and Frank Muilnn will have charge of the cannonading. Mr. T. J. Holier has none to Salem where he has a good oition. Itfavrr Crwk Hkavkh Chkkk, Feb. l!). F. Jagger, and Mr. and Mrs. Lindly, of Cams, were attending the grange last Saturday. Mr. Scanton will have the addition to the hall completed by the 22nd w hen all anticipate having a good time. Mrs. Dr. Thomas and son David made a business trip to Fortland last Monday. Many of our young folks werecelebrat ing the w inter last week with their cut ters. Mrs. D. F. Harris has been on the sick list for the last two weeks, but she is now Improving. Mr. and Mrs. Willie Fhelps, who were lately united in matrimony, have bought the old Traylor farm where they expect to make their futnre home. D. II. Jones has bought a twenty acre tract from Mr. Henry Hughes, and it now preparing to build upon the same. This ought to be an object for a good en terprising young woman we saw Vllwankte. Milwaikie, Feb. 2. Yes t Jtne ice. Albert Wetzler is now the possessero' s complete family, namely, father' mother, son and now a new handsome baby daughter. Mr. Moore's mother was visiting at his home Saturday and Sunday. We are pleased to hear that the school biard has no $100 bill to pay on account of the hot water pipes bursting during the cold snap. The janitor slept io the basement with his feet against the fur nace hot s'.uff. Mrs. Workman was surprised on her birthday Thursday evening, by some of lier friends from l'ortland. Wetzler Bros, have the contract to do Viola. Viola, Feb. 19. Mot all the farmers in this section have finished plow ing and are ready for sowing if it would only settle down and give us a good spell of weather. Our miller, David Zurchen, is over taxed with work. The good name he has made brings custom from far and near and the people of Viola and surrounding country places the utmost confidence in him and we with him all the success possible. We soon expect to have a saw mill near us. Mr. Livermore, ol Springwa er, contemplates moving his mill about two miles up the creek from Viola where there is an abundance of fine timber. We speed the time when any enterprise starts among us. Viola has been dead long enough, let us start the w heel of prosperity running and awaken old Viola from her long dreary slumbers to one of life of days gone by. There is some talk of opening a road from Viola up the creek to Springwater which will shorten the distance some two miles and have a tendency to turn the Springwater people to Oregon City. Rev. Allen and family from Mulino has moved in the parsonage and con ducts services in the church. Our enterprising merchant, J. F. Love lace is doing a fine business although only a short tune among us, has built up a good trade and increasing daily. The business ability aud standing in Clacka mas county of Mr. Lovelace is two well known to require further comment. Hon. G. E. Haves, of Oregon City, spoke to a well filled house Tuesday eve. bis speech was tine and wehopetosee Gordon among us again. Democrats, populists and republicans turned out alike. Our teacher, David Miller, taught us a good school. We hope the directors will secure him for another term, the present one will be out in about two weeks. The young people, of Viola will give an entertainment at the school house in about two weeks, proceeds to be used to purchase a flag. mm TUWflNG fiRAV?

Garfield. Garfield, Feb. 18. We have just had an Oregon blizzard. Snow three inches deep, the thermometer 14 above zero' the wind blew some, but not hard enough to scare the moBt timid, for we all knew we were in old trusty Oregon. We had a dance at N. M. Tracy's the 14th, 30 numbers, 13 girls, plenty of noUe, fire water and a good time as such time goes. There are several on the sick list at present. Mr. J.

Davis' family are all on the sick list As our trusty Dr. Smith, of Eagle Creek, was sick with a lame back (the result of a fall from his horse) it made it a difficult thing to get medical attendance, as Dr. C.

Mr. Huxley was looking at the Hover property, with an eye to purchasing the same for some parties near Gresham. The new store of Ostring & Huffman is doing a thriving business.

Mattoon and Randolph wero in town a day or two looking up road ma'tert this week. Stafford Stafford, Feb. 20. The backbone of the Indian's prognostications, concern ing the weather, was heavily strained on St. Valentines day, by a beautiful coato drifting snow and the themometer crawl ing away down into its self, and staying there for three or four days. We mav as well consider that as this season ap proaches it is, come ye wet weather, come wind and come snow and prepare for it, as the past has proven the old game too true, "ready or not, you shall be caught." Ha 1 ha! ha ! how about that comic val entine? Who would not be proud of a comic the ones printed with our nations colors, Red, White and Blue. The Sharp brothers have been clean ing up and refitting the Sharp and Roh bins lots in the Stafford cemetery. In many ways the cemetery is a very much neglected place and if others would take note of Sharps and Robbins lots there nd do likewise with the final resting place of their departed relatives, the cemetery would bloom as the rose ami instead of being desolate and dilapidated in appearance would be a profusion of blossoms and as ploasant as a park. In a well fitted yurd, "why should the spir it of mortal be sad?". The highways are in typical winter condition. All travel is being done on the lower track. John Gage is fawmilling it in the me tropolis. A portion of the school board gave the school an official call last week.
