O'clock, Jack Frost is holding on to

Our corn, that Is up about three inch
es, was not touched with frost, while
potato leaves near the corn were cov
ered with frost.
Last evening we commenced to fin
ish digging our last year's crop of po
tatoes. As the tops were up we could
see where to find new spuds and we
found a second crop of spuds set on
with the old crop and this morning
we had new potatoes for our break
fast. Uncle Ed, what do you think
of this Oregon country now, especial
ly of Clackamas county.
We want to give you a kind of paral
lel case. Near 40 years past in the
great state of Illinois on the third day
of June we had Jack Frost that killed
our corn and rye to stay killed. We
had our corn worked over the second
time, and it looked fine. We thought
that thing3 looked considerably un
certain about our crop. Well, we
braced up and we planted the corn
over again on the 20th of June and
we raised a fine crop of fodder and half
a crop of corn, and lots of soft frost
bitten corn, for the frost gave a bite
at the corn in the Fall hence we had
the earlier and the latter frost that
year in Illinois.
The Clear Creek Company board of
directors are kind of peculiar board
of directors. They have put in the
creamery what 'we call a gizard agita
tor and that one did not satisfy their
curiosity. The board has another giz

BASEBALL r.NO SINGLE TAX.
J. M. Park, of Dodge, Preaches Agalnit
Sunday playing.
Dodge, Or., April 29: (Editor of
the Enterprise.) I will wrlto a few
linos, hoping soino good might result
therefrom, concerning the Sunday law.
Our young men have been allowed to
play baseball on Sunday In Oregon,
whenever and wherever they please.
Now I hope Sunday practice may be
stopped, as It seems to me It creates
an unrest. Our old parties are losing
ground by allowing ball games and
many other games to go on. The Sa
loon closing was an awful good thing,
so now why not havo a quiet Sunday
and w-e will have a country of pcuco
and happiness. The writer of this Is
not a church member but an old hall
player.
Now, as to the slnglo tax law to be
voted on In next June, It seems to n.e
any sane man knows our Statu and
county has to have as much money to
run the expenses under tho single tax
system as under tho present system,
so If tax is taken off Improvements
and put on real estate, tho taxes will
be heavier on tho farms and will bo
the means of many a man losing bis
home. The single tax will not help tho
city either; tho same apply to both
farm and city. Tho lots will bo taxed
Jiist as high as the house and lota
both were. So middle men and tho
poor class had bettor think before vot
ing. It would be a good law for tho
corporations,

MRS. DUNIWAY'8 APPEAL.
Ask the Men of Oregon to Give the
Women Suffrage.
Gentlemen, Voters, Sons, Brothers:
I am growing old, but I cannot rest
until you have given us tho victory.
Every hour I spend In this service In
a labor of love. Every dollar I do
nate Is a personal sacrifice. Have tho
faithful mothers of Oregon not earned
your affirmative votes for their full
and free franchlaement? You ought
not to be afraid of us.
You aro equipped with ballots. We
are not. We are depending upon you
to honor our flag of truce by voting
"Yes" in our behalf in this unequal
contest. You kriow you would only
compel us to' repeat this strugglo in
1910 If you should fall us now. Hut we
believe you will not fall. You have
but to unlock the door to the closed
citadel of liberty, leaving us free to
choose for ourselves, exactly as you
do, as to Whether-to vote or not to
vote, at every succeeding . election.
Thus only can you acquit yourselves
as freemen and relieve us from fur
ther effort to secure equality with our
sons before the law. ,.

Kov. John M. I.lndcn, pimlor of the

is, however, my mission If I am a
faithful minister of Christ's Gospel to

limited to n certain few, It Is not tho

that should be done, the subject nar

Is It the right thlng,"lio proper thing,

of losing your Job? I have Invariably

for my resignation If I did not preach
