Work on the construction of the
crossing over the tracks of the Soufh
em Pacific company on Fourth street
will probably be resumed within a
wwk. The city council will on next
Wednesday evening pass the ordinance
authorizing an agreement with the
railroad company, releasing that cor
poration from liability in case of ac
cident. This agreement has already been
executed and the new contract with
the Baker Contracting Co. has been
signed. The construction on the
crossing was ordered stopped a few-
weeks ago by the Southern Pacific
company because of the neglect on the
part of the city to enter into a written
agreemnt.
WIFE SEEK COUNTY'S
I
In order to seek the aid of the coun
ty in the improvement of Division
street, a committtee from the city
council will go before the county judge
within the next few days.
It Is planned to improve the street
but in only the cheapest way possible.
As half is In the county and half in
the city any improvement planned by
the council could be taxed against the
city side only. If the property own
ers on the county side were to help
with the improvement, it is the opinion
of local attorney that their aid would
take the nature of "free will offer
ing." The council will attempt to secure
the combined aid of both the property
owners and the county in the improve
ment. It is estimated by City Engi
neer Noble that the entire work
would cost in the neighborhood of
$4,150, Raving for the county side of
the street $2,075.
LOCAL MARKET IS
There is a fairly steady tone in the
egg trade and quotations are gener
ally ruling at 25c a dozen. A few
small lots were sold a fraction below
this but others were asking a fraction
more. The average price 13 25c for
case count.
While there were again liberal re
ceipts of eggs, the market was in bet
ter condition than during the preced
ing week owing to the fact that the
former big surplus was out of the way.
With local prices on a parity with
those ruling in California, the outlook
is for a steady feeling here. There is
no doubt that the price will he af
fected directly by what happens in
California within the next few weeks.
AND PRICES FAEL
With the promise of a coming
spring, the hens of Clackamas County
are getting busy and as a result eg3
have taken a most remarkable drop
In the last few days. Where a week
or two ago the local supply was al
moBt unable to meet the demand, now
the market Is Wooded and almost ev
ery farmer's rig, which comes to town,
is filled with the product.
Potatoes continue to slump and all
other prices seem to have a downward
trend. This includes oats, barley, and
corn. There is no other recent decid
ed change In local prices.
F
WHEAT FOR RAISE
Farmers continue as strong holders
of wheat, and the market whi!r. firm
here, is rather inactive. Little busi
ness has passed here recently. Hids
for club are general r.t fsfcc a bushel,
tidewater track basis, but farmers are
asking more money.
The market for oat and barley is
likewise quiet, with the latter weaker.
No change Is shown In prices here;
In fact so little business has been
shown In the barley trade here re
cently tbwt it is hard to establish a
quotation.

I This is for you, Mr. Country Reader. It is a personal appeal to you and tells of nn offer which has ln Arranged for you alone. Head rvery word of it for never Mortem,
the Enterprise extended so liberal a proposition as tins to its readers.
We have been able to secure a limited number of the famous National Vacuum cleaners which have been sold from one roast to the other for price. rninK froin rigu
ten dollars. By sacrificing personal profit of every kind, we are able to extend to you an offer which is one of the most l.lernl ever offered to the people of Cl.u kamn. loun h (;
But we are not prepared to spread this offer broadcast over the state. The machines are too expensive and the numlrr in our ,ossrssion far too few to make this offer pull. J.
We want to explain it to those only who are interested enough to answer this ad. rK
Read every line of this message. Study the picture and then write today. Tomorrow may be too late. Our numlwr of cleaners is limited and we reserve the privilege t, ,,,

Do you spread dis
ease and dust by
cleaning
broom?
will
When you sweep your carpets
or rugs you scrape away the
surface dirt and pound in the
rest. Beating knocks out the
dust and injures the carpet. No
matter how much you sweep
the dirt and dust which is un
der the surface of the carpet
remains there. In fact, every
time you go over the floor
with the broom, you pound
that dirt still further into the
carpet and make it still harder
to thoroughly clean the floor.
Ask your physician if it is not
true that sweeping sends cur
rents of air filled with disease
germs, lint, and dust through
the room. A broom spreads
disease, it takes the dirt and
dust and germs which have
been tramped into the room
and spreads them through the
house. After sweeping, ev
ery article of furnifure is cov
ered with dust and the air is
full of fine particles.
A broom not only pounds the
dust into your carpet, it also
pounds down the pile. Lvery
time vou sweeD. vou Dound
still more dirt into your carpet ;
vou fill the floor covering still
fuller with dirt; and you make
your rugs and carpets a dis
ease-carrying, a germ rilled,
and dangerous thing.
This is a picture of the Nationa
Vacuum Cleaner. Notice its
shape, see how compactly it is
built. Every piece is just the piece
for its use. Every part is exact;
scientificly exact.
This machine complete weighs
but 4 3-4 pounds. It is so light
and so simple that a child can op
erate it. An easy move of the
handle and a pressure is brought to
bear which will draw dirt and dust
through the thickest carpet.
It runs as easy as a carpet sweeper
and is twice as easy to use as a
broom. There is no backache, no
strained arms where the National
is used.
There is no wast effort, no waste
time with the National. The Na
tional is the exponent of efficiency
and expresses the highest point in
simplicity. When you use the Na
tional every motion produces the
greatest possible amount of results.
