CHARTER AMENDMENT
SPECIAL ELECTION
The city election, Saturday, was ar
expression of the determination o
the citizens of Enterprise to have c
first-class water system. While the
majority in favor of the charte;
amendment was large, it will be ad
mitted that even that majority is no
as large as the sentiment for good
water, as no doubt a number votei
no who are in favor of munlcipa
water works but believe only taxpay
ers should vote on bond propositions
That question, however, Is settled
and all should now lay aside pas
differences and advise together li
tho work of getting the best watei
system for the least cost.
Contrary to an oft repeated asser
tion, tho water works question Is no
a personal fight. Every partisan o.
a city plant, as far as we havt
knowledge, is sincere In his belie
that plun is for the best Interest o
the town, and of himself. It is i
matter of not only general welfare
but of Individual well-being.
The council has ordered the bone
election for September 12. In the
meantime, a watarworks committee
or commission composed of the coun
ell and prominent citizens, aided am
advised by two or more experts from
the outside, such say as the Elgir
city engineer and La Grande wate:
works superintendent, could Invest!
gate and report on the various
sources of supply, their purity anc
sufficiency. The best one, withir
the cost limit, could be selected, thus
giving the voters a clear understand
Ing of the proposed use of the monej
for which they are asked to author
Ize the sale of bonds.
SUN TRIES TO STIR UP TROUBLE
Every paper In the county haa re
fralned from adding to the perplexi
ties and burdens of the county court
In Its enduavor to carry out the wlli
of the people In regard to the build
Ing of a courthouse except the Wal
lowa Sun. Everyone who has a grain
of sense realizes that the court has
troubles of Its own everybody ex
cept the Wallowa Sun. People who
haven't a mania for butting In, know
the commissioners and judge were
elected to attend to that business
as In their Judgment seems best foi
the people of the county, and every
body except the Wallowa Sun Is
right content to let them attend tc
It.
Threats and intimidation don't go
well with the people of this county
who know the court will do the very
best It can on all matters, Including
site. There Is vaitly more pressure
for a policy that Is distasteful to the
Wallowa Sun than for Its wishes
It will be sad Indeed If the Sun can't
change the law or bullrag or terror
ize somebody Into a cheap attempt
to evade the law. The court Is mak
Ing every effort to find out Its ex
act rights In the matter; the men
who offered to buy the square stand
ready to make their offer good. The
matter will be settled legally and
rightfully In duo time by the court.
The street fair and carnival given
by the Enterprise Concert band last
week, was very successful In both
attendance and enjoyment. The ar
raugenient and decorations of the
grounds were fine, and the good or
der that ' prevailed was a credit to
both the management and the
crowds. The "sideshows" were not
much of couise but at that they
were Biiporlor ta the traveling car
nival companies, while the free
shows, balloon ascensions, sports and
races, were away ahead of any
thing usually offered by professional
troupes. Taken all In all, the affair
was a crilk to the band and to the
town.
The Streeler-Bryan company will
break camp, uext Wednesday and
start for California where they will
play this coming season In a circuit
of seven cities, extending from Fres
no to San Diego. The people of En
terprise and vicinity .will be sorry tc
see them depart, for aside from the
pleasure of witnessing their perform
ances, personal friendships have beer,
formed that make the members o.
the company a part of our commun
ity a part Indeed of our own peo
pie, whom we are all loath to set
leave us. Wherever they go the
best wishes of Enterprise people wli:
o with them, and all hope they wll
jnjoy the success that such sterllns
ictors and big-hearted ladies am
gentlemen deserve. They will no
be forgotten here and a warm wel
come will greet them on their retun
aext summer

celved 10 per cent of the gross re
ceipts, but congress voted last win
ter to Increase the amount to 25 per
cent. .
Found That It Paid.
A country merchant of Iowa de
elded to break away from the old
fogy spirit which had affected him
and his follows for some time. Dar
ingly he spent $100 in advertising a
jpecial sale. The first day of the
lale the store took In almost $1,000;
the next six days averaged over $400
sach. His advertising bill amounted
to 3 per cent of the business he did.
He found It paid. Oregon Trades
