J.H. “Jidge” Tippett has
bought Roy Toops’ land and
cattle, and thereby becomes
one of the largest stock own-
ers on the Oregon-Washing-
ton state line.
Surveyors on the new
state highway have laid out
the route thru Enterprise
and are now working east,
toward Joseph. The road as
now staked enters Enterprise
at the west end of Green-
wood street, which it follows
to two blocks east of the
court house square, where it
turns south and leaves town
around the rocky point.
A siren fi re alarm has been
shipped to Enterprise on trial
from Hillsboro. The signal
is an electric device which
gives out a shriek which, it
is promised, can be heard 10
miles. M.E. Ward’s, captain
of the fi re company, idea is
to have it installed and tried,
and he believes the city will
not let it be taken away then.
An operator at the telephone
central can operate the sig-
