INDEPENDENCE hNTERPRISc INDEPENDENCE, OREGON, FRIDAY, MAY 6, UIO. NUMBER 49 SIXTEENTH VIAH ENTERPRISE TO BBILDOFFICE WILL HAVE MODERN CONCRETE STRUCTURE. THE BUILDING WHICH THE EN TERPRISE WILL ERECT WILL BE MODERN STRUCTURE AND CREDIT TO THE CITY. Tlio Independence Enterprise ha been promised a new homo. The pub lisher has already closed a deal for the ground ag a site for the new building and plans and specifications re being complied this week for the concrete structure. The new En terprise building Is to be located on Maiu street, north of lianas Pros.' hardware store, on the alte of the old tiarrlgus hotel. All that property owned by Mrs. Oarrlgus was recently old to J. L. Hanna who aold to the publisher of the Enterprise the lot upon which the building is to b erected. The Enterprise building will be one of the best business blocks in Independence. It will be a mod ern snd uo-to-date building, with base- I ment and modern front. It will be one story only and will occupy 30x78 feet. The basement will be occupied by the presses of the Enterprise and the power plant with which they are op erated .. The Chas. E. Hicks Real Es tate Co. will occupy offices In the building. Between the Enterprise ; building nd Hanna Bros, hardware store Is oon to be erected a building by llan os Bros, which will be occupied by that firm totaccoratnodate their in i creaslmr trade. It Is understood that 'other business men of the city are ? figurine on putting up business ' structures" adjoining ? the Enterprise but at this time no announcement or them can be made. . , SHOULD RESTORE NORMAL A petition la in circulation among the cltzens of our county, fathered by the alumni of the Monmouth Normal school, praying for a restoration of the Monmouth state normal school. This Is a petition that every citizen should sign as It Is a stain upon the fair state of Oregon to be dispos sessed of normal schools. No other State would think of such a thing as tearing out the very institutions that ' have made our public schools the bulwarks of American liberty and in dependence. , ' It was a grievous error in the state legislature to abolish, even temporari ly, our splendid normal schools. Ore gon wants intelligent citizenship, and intelligent ctizenshlp la a creature of good schools, and good schools can only be had by well-trained teachers, and well-trained teachers must come from the normal schools, so when the state abolished her normal schools, it looks as if the future wel fare of her boys and girls Is a mat ter of small importance. We can't allow such an Impression to be given, as this state Is as anx ious for , good schools as any In the " union, but some poor 'Imbeciles that were sent as mlsrepresentatives rrom their respective districts forgot them- selves and their duties to the state and cut off the most essential stream of revenue In the state. ' It was not wtlful-rlt was only igno rance, or oosslbly Indifference; '.but whatever the cause, we trust all the people of the state will rally rouna the flag that floats over the little 'red school houses the strongest links in the grandest educational system to be found in all the world.

MEET WITH 8PLENOID WELCOME The Portlund buslues men have re turned from their 'vUlt over the Wil lamette valley Intensely enthused with the meeting of the business peo ple of the various towns, which they vUlted. Aside from' the splendid wel come extended to them everywhere they found much Interest In discuss ing municipal affairs of the smaller cities of the valley. At Independence the people were taken by surprise, the delegation . coming day In ad vance of schedule arrangements as understood by this city. Hence the failure to respond with a more fitting welcome to them. Among the men who were In the excursion and who visited among our people during their hour's stay here, were: I A.

A short devotional service was en Joyed In the forenoon at which many of the members renewed their church covenant. At the business session in the af ternoon a new constitution was adopt ed and new officers were elected.- Although during the year the church has suffered a serious deple tion In its membership, this loss has been compensated for by the recep tion of a number of new members. Reports on the whole were favorable and there are strong indications of renewed activity; this being mani fested by the good will and cheerful spirit which prevailed throughout the session. , Co'nkey, Walker & Lehman have Just received a bis assortment of glassware can sell you in single pieces or sets. PLANS ARE IN BOARD HANDS BIDS FOR CONSTRUCTION ADVERTISED. ARE HIGH SCHOOL BUILDING WILL CONTAIN EIGHT ROOMS AND FULL BASEMENT GROUNDS TAKE IN ALMOST SIX ACRES. Plans are completed and are now I in me nanus oi mo ooaru oi uuwwn of school district No. 29 for the con struction of the high school building. A very good picture of the building as It will appear when completed ap pears on this page of the Enterprise. The total cost of the structure will be $15,000 Instead of $20,00u as re ported through the Oregonlan some time ago. The bonds for the amount of the cost of the building have been dis posed of to Morris Brothers of Port land. The bonds went at a premium amounting to something like a hun dred and seventy dollars. The exact location of the high school building In the lot of land re cently bought of the Hill estate has not been fully determined, however, that la of minor Importance, but the plot of land has been decided upon and purchased, as above stated. It Is located at the southern outskirts of the city on Fifth street and Is bounded on the south by I street. There are six acres of land In the plot of ground for the site which Is ample for all time' to come. There are to be eight rooms in the building Including the basement. - The structure is to be of reinforced con crete and the roof is to be covered with asbestos shingles. With such a covering there is no doubt but that the building will last for a hundred years In such weather as the Willam ette valley Is subject to. These shin gles Iwlll never, have to be painted but they will retain their color dur ing all time. , - - , ' Bids for the construction work on the school building are to be opened by . the board on the 20th of this month. After that time building op erations will go apace. CHURCH ANNOUNCEMENTS Baptist Church Next Sunday in the Sunday school the contest begins between the "Pur ple" and "White".

' I OLD PIONEERS' ANNUAL EVENT BIG PICNIC'TO BE HELD AT RICK-REALL. TWENTY-FIRST ANNUAL REUN ION OF POLK COUNTY PION EERS TO TAKE PLACE SATUR DAY, MAY TWENTY-EIGHTH. The date for holding the twenty first annual reunion of the Polk C'oun ty Pioneer Association has been changed from June 25 to Saturday, May 28, says Poik County Observer. Tbe change In dates was made at a special meeting of the executive committee, held at the courthouse on. Saturday afternoon. When the pioneers met in Dallas ten days ago and set the date of their reunion for June 23, they Inadvert ently overlooked the tact that tbe people of Independence had adver tised their June races for the same date. As soon as the matter was called to their attention, President T. J. Hayter hastened to call the mem bers of the executive committee to gether again, and the date of the re union was changed to the last Satur day in May. The pioneers and the business men of Dallas are anxious for the success of the three days' entertainment la Independence, and for that reason, have changed the date of the reunion, so that It will In no way conflict with (Continued from first page.) - - W -f . v v J li U i.J MWA ' tl 1 High School UuiWtfliig; in Course of Coiistructiou WHY 1892"PureSpunA!uminum Kitchen Ware Is Better Than Adate or Enamel Because it is sanitary and saves your money, time and health. The genuine spun aluminum ware, stamped with the Maltese Cross, will outlast any other cook ing utensils , and is guaranteed by the makers for twenty-five years. It is pure, wholesome and hygienic no danger of metal poisoning cannot chip into the food, because pure SPUN Alumi num expands with the heat and will not crack, scale or peel like the old style ware. Enamel ware is iron coated with col ored glass. Heat causes the glass to chip off into the food in minute particles, which, taken into the stomach, is apt to cause serious troubles, including cancer, accord ing to some medical authorities. "1892" Pure Spun Aluminum Ware is made from solid Aluminum throughout no coating of glass and expands uniformly under heat. It cannot crack, scale, peel like the out of date enameled utensils; it does away with all possible danger from this source. You owe it to yourself, and to every member of the household, to give this new and better kitchen ware a practical test. If it fails to do what is claimed for it. you get your money back without a quibble or a cross word. At your dealers. Hanna Bros.
