We endeavor to make every page of the Enterprise a "local"- page, preferring to give our space to the 1 news happening in Polk county, rather than enter the field of state and national, so much better cov ered by other publications than any county journal can ever hope to attain. As a medium of infor mation about Polk county and Polk county people we believe we have the be9t columns in the county. We desire your further co-operation to make it still better. Any item of public interest about which you may know is earnestly desired by us. There are several parties in town who never miss a week in furnishing us with several interesting items. ' We appreciate their efforts. "Go thou and do likewise." The Enterprise this week is publishing from the pen of several of our live correspondents a list of property which has changed hands it their hands during the last few months. The articles make inter esting reading and show that Polk county real estate is gradually ad vancing in price and that Eastern ers are looking this way. New blood means much to any com munity. Where no real estate transfers are made and properties of all kinds remain unchanged, nine times out of ten that place displays general stagnation .in the commercial sense ot the word. The man best for the community is the one wEo reaches out and draws business into our midst, and from the revenue derived from those transactions reinvests and makes more business. That's the kind of J. O. Stunts was transacting himinaos in Independence last week. Alva Wnnier, a prominent farmer of lYdee, was in town last Saturday. ' . L. L. Cook, of Dallas has been employed as sawyer by the Pedee Lumber Co. Mrs. Hugh Ilanna h?s gone to Berry, where her husband is en gaged in logging. A. 0. Miller, of 'Kings Valley, who has business interests here, was a caller last week. The Charter Oak Mill Co. last welc nhinned another larce lot of r i ' lumber to Los Angeles, ChI. A family from North Dakota ar rived here last week and went out to Kings Valley in Bearch of land Mrs. L. L. Ilannum, of McTim- monds Valley, came down last week and purchased a good lot of supplies. Ed Patras is having a set of low trucks made with which to move his stave mill from place to place in the timber. Rev. Thomas Yost, a former resident of Pedee, has sold out his property there and has permanent ly located at Florence. Mrs. Chas. Irwin, of Coryallis, catmi up last Saturday and went out to the home of her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Alva Womer, at Pedee. Walter Black is taking a layoff from stave making on account of a painful injury to his left hand, caused by coming in contact with a saw. Pearl Rose made a trip to Cor- val'isonhis wheel last week, but thinks he tried wheeling a little . . . . s previous as tne roads were sun rough. Dogs killed quite a number of fine sheep belonging to Sam Hast ings, in consequence of which two caDines of suspicions character were shot. ' men we need more of here. The assertion that Binger Her mann's defeat is desired by the ad ministration is getting to be an old chestnut, and will act as a boomerang to the instigators of such an accusation. It would be a poor partisan administration that would desire to see one of the op posite faith go to the halls of con gress because of petty differences. One fact which demonstrates the accusations a myth is that Con gressman McCreary, of Minnesota, a rock-ribbed party man, is in our midst to urge the election of Mr. Hermann. No man of Mr. Mc Creary's standing could afford to antagonize hs j party's desires by yoluntarily coming across the con tinent to urge the election of one out of favor with the organization he himself must look to for special favors. Isn't this the logical view to take of the matter? AI1CL1E. Mrs. Clyde Turner is visiting Pallas relatives. , rof.

The custom of celebrating Mav Day at the State Normal School inaugurated last year, bids iui' to become one of the fixed events of the school calendai, if the lively interest manifested this year is 1.1 1 l. A any criterion. Aiinoueu woraeu up within a week's time students and friends feel that the fetes of last Saturday were highly success ful. The general committee on ar rangements, composed of five mem bers from each class, deserve great credit for the satisfactory manner in which the celebration passed off. This committee was divided into near Kings Valley. Reports from the hop growers in this vicinity and in the Pedee and Kings Valley districts indicate the most favorable condition of the hop vines with every prospect of a full crop. Primary training is finished in most of the yards and necsssary cultivation is well up with the season. Council Proceedings. At the session of the city council Tuesday evening, the bonds of A. J. Tupper, as marshal, were approved, and F. Russell was elected deputy marshal for third ward without sal ary.

Hubbard 75 Clinton Moore waa a passenger - to Portland Sunday. athletics, coronation ceremonies, music, pro gram and queen's household. The brunt of the work fell upon this last committee, and a large share of the day's success is due to the chairman, Miss Stella Hampton, and her able assistants, Miss Jessie Reese and Miss Naomi Craven. Much credit must also be given the other chairman, Miss Martha Whealdon, Miss Wetherbee, Messrs. Powell and Willis Butler, with their willing assistants. Many others not on either of these com miltees should also come in for honorable mention, chief among which is ' Mr. Griffa, familiarly known as Vice-President The re maining members of the general committee, not mentioned above, are Misses Robena Smith, Yoder, Bowerman, Cox and Shofner, and Messrs. Ziegler, Byers and Ruther ford. About 3 o'clock Saturday after noon the royal procession formed in front of the Normal building and marched to Cupid's Knoll in the following order: Grand Mar shal G. A. Forbes; Normal Cadet Band, under the direction of Prof. Frank Lucas; carriage containing Lord High Chancellor F. T. Angell and Archbishop W. R. Rutherford; royal float with Queen Crystal I citizens. Th quern guarU, mounted on fiery ilmrgors ami prettily costumed, was eoinjM!Hd of Sir Knights Dean Butler, Crowley. Murdock, Pophatn, Smith and Fitzwater. An elaborate throne with canopy and decorated with bunting and a profusion of green boughs, blos soms and flowers waa situated south of the grove on the knoll,! the tries forming a most eflective background The coronation ceremonies were as follows: After a flourish of trumpets by the royal herald-, the grand marshal and queen's guards took position forming a broad avenue leading from the lloats to the throne; another trumpet flour ish and th flower girls marched down the avenue strewing Mowers and singing a beautiful May song; grand llourish of trumpets and the roval procession started to the dignified march by the Royal Guards Band, the Archbishop lead ing, follownl by Queen Crystal leaning on the arm of the Lord High Chancellor, the pages bear ing the train, the maids of honor bringing up the rear.

With the words, "I crown the),-Crystal, queen of the May, in the name of the august faculty and thy loyal subjects, the students of the State Normal School," Archbishop Rutherford in a most impressive manner placed the crown of rones on the oueen's bead and handed her to the throne.
