A new sign went up
advertising Wagner’s men’s
wear, replacing the one
which for several years
appeared above the Zurcher
& Co. store. The store is now
owned and operated by Mr.

son, Jack.
Death came to Mrs.
Sarepta Weaver at her home
in Enterprise, bringing to a
close a long and useful life,
60 years of which were spent

Miss Irene Forsythe
received nearly four tons of
clothing, food and bedding to
take back with her to China.
Donations came from 13
states besides Oregon, which
gave the largest contribution.
Included in the supplies are
thousands of vitamin tab-
lets to be distributed among
the undernourished.
After weeks of careful
preparation, the minstrel show
of Chief Joseph post, Ameri-
can Legion will be put on at
the opera house. There will
be specialties of various kinds
and curious and entertaining
acts and music and service
men in uniform galore.

iff that bullets have been
heard whizzing past persons,
emphasizing the great danger
of the practice.
The county court this
spring started the system of
putting prisoners to work on

does not wish bootleggers to
get the idea that on conviction
they will have a 60-day loaf in
jail, but they will be required
