Cheese and Produce company,
after a successful history, and
with a desire to more nearly
meet the demands of the pub
lic, has decided to increase its
facilities and will soon be mak
ing butter, in addition to mak-
ing cneese. mis action was
taken at a very interesting
meeting of the stockholders
last Saturday night when the
capital stock was increased
$1500 with practically every
cent subscribed and paid up,
and arrangements will be
made at once for installing a
chum and other eauiDirtent
necessary to the making of
butter.
The company has one of the
most complete plants in the
state and has been able to put
out a product that compares
favorably with the best as is
evidenced from the fact that it
has readily disposed of the
same. The increased demand
for butter,' from all sections
was largely the factor that
caused the stockholders to take
the above action, and it wil
make possible a greater rev
enue to the dairying of this lo
cality, many of whom were
facing the problem of dispos
ing of their herds if their re
turns were not heavier.

wrote Mr. Jackson on February 2ti

discussing his proposed measures,
which loiter katser JuckNun haughtily
Ignored. Tho letter was as follows:
"I understand th.it you propose to
put a measure upon the ballot to lower

pers, as well us changing the manner
of advertising delinquent taxes. I
do not know whut has caused your

Other representatives of Mr. Jack
son's paper attended tho recent meet

date Mr. Jackson has not given the
editor of Tho Sentinel a reason for
not wishing to meet the country news

Tho most plausible explanation Is
that kaiser Jackson is too cowardly
to adopt tho suggestion, knowing
that he would be badly worsted be

for his side of the case
After having had this opportunity
to face the editors, Jackson's charge

Our Weekly 'Soldier Letter
Letters are commencing to arrive
from the Clackamas cotinty boys In
France, who were among those to re
ceive the letters of cheer and also a
dollar greenback recently forwarded
by the committee In charge of the
Womens' Patriotic Edition of the En
terprise published May 5, The first
letters to reach Oregon City from the
boys to the committee were Monday They were all 'rubbering' around and

licfore the committee which allowed
but 10 minutes for the discussion of
the bill Mr. Hagood used more than
tho ulloted time. Mr. Bede asked for
permission io ask but one question as
hlu part of the argument. He then
asked Mr. Hagood It he had maue the
statment quoted above. Evidently
thinking a trade In sight, Hagood ad
mitted the fact. Tho commute was
astounded by the admission and the
legal rate bill was immediately re
ported out favorably.
This law, which Jackson's authori
zed representative once admitted to
be one of the best pieces of legislation
ever proposed to a legislature, is now
held up to ridicule by the nin who
once endorsed It.
The voters would do well to get at
the reason for such inconsistency.
Canby and Oregon City will hae an
automobile bus service that will be
equal of any electric line service, which
will accommodate workers in the mills
at Oregon City, now living in Canby or
nearby points. Plans are almost com
pleted for the establishment of the
line, which will start upon the com
pletion of the paved highway between
the two cities. A bus carrying 16 pas
sengers will be operated, and the
schedule proposed, which will be regu
lar for every day, will be as follows:
First bus leave Canby at 7 a. m.; sec
ond at 8 a. m. Another at 1 p. m., 2
p. m 4 p. m., 8 p. m., reaching Oregon
City one-half hour later and starting
on the return trip at once. Each bus
will connect with P. R, L. P. company
cars to Portland at Oregon City. The
last car at night will leave Oregon City
at 11:50, which will permit Canby peo
ple attending theatres in Portland and
getting borne the same night. One bus
will leave Oregon City at 5 p. m., which
will particularly accommodate the mill
workers whe they go off shift.
Special trips will be made upon
proper arrangements.
M. J, Lee, the well known citizen of
Canby, Is behind the bus line movement
Clackamas county Is to observe
Columbus day, October VI, in a patri
otic manner, when the various bunk
ing districts are taking an active part
in preparing a program in their dis
tricts, The school children of the
county, through the efforts of Superin
tendent Calavan, will co-operate and
make this day eventful.
M. D. Latourette, chairman of the
Liberty Loan drive of Clackamas
county, and Mrs. H. B. Cartlldge,
county chairman of the Women's
Fourth Liberty Loan drive, are to give
their valuable assistance to make the
affair a successful one, T. A. Burke,
chairman of the banking district of
Oregon City, has appointed the follow
Ing to act as his committee: T. W.
Sullivan, L. Adams, J. E. Hedges, O

are to arrange for the affair and also
make arrangements for the big par
ade to be held.
For the Fourth Liberty Loan, the
people have adopted the plan sugges
ted by the United States Bureau of
Education tc designate this day, the
anniversary of the discovery of our
country as Liberty Day, Every school

The letter of Willard Montgomery
follows:
Paris, Sept. 10, 1918
"The Special Staff,
"Patriotic Edition of Morning Enter
prise, "Oregon City, Oregon:
"Dear friends:
I want to assure ydu that your gift
and your letter were very greatly ap
preciated. The utility of the gift is
unquestioBcd, and the spirit which
sent it contributes greatly to the
pleasure it has given me. It was very
fine of you to undertake the task,
which you did on our- behaf and I
know that I for one, am earnestly
thankful t6 you for your gift, because
of itself and the evidence it is that the
home fires are still burning in Oregon
City.
"You could not, had you been able
to send anything, have made a better
selection than that crisp greenback.
After continual use of this French
money, which we call everything from
cigar coupons to funny paper clip
pings, an American bill is the best
thing for weak leyea. Then ,tpo, the
government provides us with almost
every sort of article at a cheaper rate
they can be bought in the states. Thus,
we lack fcss opportunity than the
wherewithal of securing comforts.
The trench restaurants provide fine
diversion from army rations also.

with my gitt, but I assure you that it
will be w41 spent
I am well, and hope that all my

seemed to be enjoying themselves.
"The Sunday before we left London,
I was up the Thames river on another
trip like I took awhile back. It sure
ly was a fine trip. There were-150 of
we fellows on the boats, and it surely
was a jouy anu nappy one. I met a
Y. M. V. A. man from Everett. Wash.,
on the boat, who formerly lived in
Portland and Oregon City. Ills father
and mother live in Portland now.
ills wife came from Damascus, Clack
amas county, Oregon, and her name
was formerly Sharp. He knew L.
Adams, of Oregon City, very well, and
said that he had enjoyei the trip of
climbing Mt. Hood with Mr. Adams.
His name is Fred W. Wltham, and he
Is surely a typical Westerner. We
had quite a talk together. When I
showed him mother's picture, he said
T have seen that woman somewhere
before.' so I guess he has. He has
.jeen In the Y. M. C. A. .for about 15
years.
Our food Is much better In this
camp, and we surely do eat it also.
We are In a cement barracks, which
are nice and cool when it is warm
outside. Our barrack accomodations
end eats are very fine here, .
"There is pulte a bit of night flying
around here, and you can see the
planes flying about with lights on
them. It is quite a sight to see them.
"I was Just looking at a Ladles'
Home Journal, and inihlg I saw col
ored pictures ofl pies, cakes and all
kinds of good things to eat, and WOW
We surely did want some of t.hem.
When you see anything like that and
then have to 'dive' into army grub
you certainly get disgusted. Believe
me, a nice piece of pie or cake would
surely taste good.
'There is an American Y. M. C. A.
on the camp here, but it doesn't
amount to much. It is in a large tent
and has a piano, a few booka and pa
pers and phonograph and some check
ers and games. They are erecting a
new nuildfnr for the Y. M. C. A., and
there is no doubt but it wi'.l be pretty
good when completed, and opened for
tne reception of the boys.
"I received the pictures you sent me
of Wilhoit, and they are fine. I tell
you pictures are fine to one especial
ly where we are now.
"Just think, today is Sunday, and
you would not know It, as life goes
on just the same in the army.
"Won't it be fine when we come
home once more and live li .e civil
ized people again. We surely will be
a happy bunch, believe me.
"Give my love to all the family, and
my best regards to any of my frlend.i.
"As ever your loving son,

Our flight is a long ways from where
we were last We surely are located

and after walking for nearly an hour
you find out there is nothing there
We are "perched' up on the top of a

There are several large camps around
near us.
"Another friend and I were over to
a camp last night to see some of the
shows, and they were pretty good
We had to walk about three miles to
the place.
"This camp has bombing planes, so
I guess we are going to get instruc

into a bombing squadron. In other
camps we had instructions on scout
planes. The rest of our squadron is
scattered in flights all over England

hot weather lately, and believe me It
was hot. Today we had quite a show
