most sanguine expectations. "We
odo not desire our patrons to infer
that we have become rich in the pub
lication of the paper. We have made
a living out of it, andw hatever we
hare made beyond th.it, we have put
into the improvement of the paper in
giving our patrons an increase of
reading matter. "We now publish
more than double the amount of
reading matter that was published in
the ExTEr.i'KiSE w hen we took charge
of it, and it shall ever be our aim to
keep up in its various departments
fully to the support given us. It has
been our aim to make the Enterprise
a good reliable local and general j
news papes, besides a true and con
sistent Democratic organ. It has
been our object to do justice tlrst to
our county and State and then the
politicians. That we tire proud of
the success with which ' we have met
and the many encouraging endorse
ments wc have received from our
patrons, we do not denr,nnd we trust
that in the future, as in the past, we
shall be deserving of their confidence
and support, assuring them that we
shall 'always endeavor : make the ,
paper a welcome visitoi;. The En
terprise shall be in the; future what
it has been in the past, an independ
ent Democratic paper, representing
no cliiiuocpr faction, but the party
and its true friends throughout the
State
to ask from any quarter, and eunse
rpiently can act free and independent
on all questions. "We shall always
claini'the ri$iit to express onr opin
ion freely in regard to aspirants for
political preferment, and claim the
privilege oDopposing the placing in
the lead any and all men who have
not a true party record or who may
be otherwise objectionable to the
masses. "3 l'rlose IU represent
fihe people, and not the .politician.
"This we claim to be the right and
privilege of every newspaper, and if
they will rxerei.se that duty, there
need be no fear but what we shall
always have good and true yen placed
in the Held as our standard-bearers.
If the press submit, or remains silent
on the questions, politicians are apt
to lead the "people as t ray for personal
ends, and parti9s soon become cor
rupt aud oppressive. It is our pur
pose to conduct the Kxiy.r.ri'.isr. in
the future as we. have in the past,
, always reserving to ounVlves the
right to eondem or. appro; e the ac
tion of our own party or efficials as
well as that of our opponents. "We
are independent of the eon..ol of pol
iticians or cliques, and this independ
ence, we shall exercise in accordance
with our judgment to the best inter
ests of our State and party. "We re
turn our sincere thanks to our adver
ing and subscription natrons, and
assure them that wtVnall ever aim to j
deserve their good wishes and sup
port. "With these remarks, ve enter
into servieo for another ;ear, and
hope that our relations witli all our
patrons at the close of the present
volume may be as pleasant and agree
able as they are at the commencement.

Thompson any satisfaction in this
regard, so the only tiling for him to
do was to hold Myers responsible for
the article. This he did in n most
appropriate manner as the fe.llowing
account of the affair will show, taken
from the On-jouutn of last Monday:
Forest Grove was the scene of a
very exciting sensation yesterday,
quite unfrequent for that peaceable
and order-loving hamlet. The affair
which created such an excitement,
was a personal rencounter between
two well known individuals, both in
this vicinity and in other portions of
the State. Thes parties were Mr.
Y 'illiani Thomson of the Salem .Vr-
Mays is Master and Mr. " r,y. and Frank Myers, recently of
is Secretary of the new the Forest Grove inl--inih'nt. The
difficulty grew out of an article which
appeared in columns of the Jmbpciol
t'tt, reflecting in the strongest man
ner em tlie character and so-i:..l stand
ing of Mr. Thompson. Doubth'.ss the

Oregon is the finest young State in

gests that the press of this Stiito
make an effort, through our delega

twenty per cent, removed. It says:

also, we believe, favor the repeal of

thorough going free trader, and
Clayton, Fuge ami Houghton can be
made to see the matter in its proper
light."
We believe that both Senator Kel

heartily favor this move. Before
tho " protection " was placed on pa
