Until Tuesday. September 1 Final adjustment of the press wm aecrnpllsbed by wn Kuuse, the expert pressman of the Capital Journal of Saletn, and w. tar lmrt n exDert machinist of tnl eltr Mr. Kunse, who went over the pros carefully In tola adjustment of the machine, pronounced It a fine piece Mt mechanism, .much superior to many of the prosse used In the production of dally papert In thla state. n the end of thla week It is ex n..rtPrt that the Enterprise will be comfortably boused In Its new home whr the machinery and new duuu na will h ooon to the Inspection of Its friends. It Is said by competout Judges that the new Enterprise build ing la one of the very finest build Ings In the city. No pains and ex pense have been spared to mako it complete and modern in structure and plans. It will be heated by an An derson furnace and It Is exported that the machinery will be driven by In dividual motors. If not at tIs tiaio then In the near fature. The prcsse will occupy the basement and will sit on solid concrete. This plan has been commended by, every newspaperman who has been consulted on the idea. There la no racking of machinery when It la planted on solid concrete foundations. The floor apace of the building la 30x60 feet. The front offices will be occupied by the Enterprise and the Chas. E. Hicks Real Estate Company. There will also be a private office In connection with these offices and In the rear end of the building, In the northeast corner, will be Installed the Mergenthalcr linotype which wm bought by the EnterpriBe two years ago and which, has placed the Enter prise In the lead of most all other country newspapers. For light there Is a solid plate front, and six large windows in the back end. In the basement there are five windows and a sash door which affords ample Ught in tut press room. The Kuterprla can Justly claim ine distinction of bolng on of the best equipped office In the entire north west. ' The removal of the old Garrlgus no- tul from Main street In Independence has dons more to Improve the ap pearance of the city than anything that bas happened In many a year. This wsa made possible only through the determination of the Enterprise to build Its own home and the kindly Influence of J. L. llauua who per suaded the owner of the Enterprise to occupy that alte with the new bulldlna. It la hoped that the peo ple of Independence will appreciate the Improvement and that they win atand by the paper In It a efforts to build a better and more beautiful city. A word concerning the history of the old Oarrlgua botel might not come In amiss at this time. Forty three years ago the old hotel which was destroyed to make room for the splendid concrete building from which this DaDer la issued was moved bodily from the city of Monmouth, a dis tance of two mile. This was aome fifteen year before the birth of the Enterprise. The removal of that build Ing la said to have marked the be ginning of the new town, of Indepen dencc. At that time the town of In dependence was situated on the otb er side of the slough. The only stores here at that time were the store of Vanduyn. Summervllle & McCullough, who occupied a frame structure where row stands the gen eral merchandise store of Conkey, Walker & Lehman, and a store on the ground now occupied by the Kirk land dru store, conducted by Wolf V Crone. Shortly afterward Itosendorf & Mitchell built a frame atore build ing and occupied It where now stands the Craven & Moore store. Vanduyn built the residence now known as the Whlteaker property on B street. Summervllle built the house where Frltst Webber Uvea and McCullough built the house which now standa on Railroad street, between the Welch and Sperling property.
