M Im Benettu Dori ls nnd Mm. Allen Kalon of KuKne( HtNtem of Mm. (Jondon, are viKit hilt White Hulinon. A very iiiil'orliinutt' acriilent ocrurred m ar the entrum-i' to our dork on Monciov. Ki v.

Everybody in Interested In water, and all are talking water development. Keep the bait rolling. Lets not be SHtifled beeau our soli produces profitably without irriga tion. It does that, llutwltliaplentlful water supply It will do more and the results will be much greater and come quicker. The social gathering at the church Krldxy evening was a great success. The house was tilled and so were the people. An unusually tine phonograph programme and some Inter pretations Irom Hhskespcare by Kev. Mr.Uar rlson were leading features in the llierary line, and Ice cream and cake galore did the rest. The watersystetn owned by Mr. Jewett Is again working nicely, thanks to bis energy and promptness in making a small supply do the work of a large one. He hus done all lie could and realises as much as any other res ident that we need a greater plant represent ing a larger Investment. There is plenty of the finest water on earth back of ns. Home day we shnll have It in clear, running brooks all about us, and this will be Indeed the gem of all Columbia river resorts. The steamer Spencer Is on the river, en giignd in hustling for her portion of the trade, aud getting It. Hue oulloots her rivals on the river. We hone she will hold out In legit imate, honornble competition. The Colum bia is one of this nation s grandest waterways and must not be cornered. The railroads have held up tbe Nicaragua canal project, but they can't dam up the Columbia. That's the only reason they don't. Jt is the Al mighty's gift to the common people. We hear many rumors of some big develop ments on the Little While Salmon. J'artics with capital are. It is said, making Invest ment there, having surveys made for Irriga tion on a large scale, etc. We hope It is true. There Is no grander state In this Union than this, our own Washington. Hound cities don't know us, but some day steel bands will unite us to them In close trade relations, and their residents will come here seeking rest and inspiration. They will be taken to the foot of Mount Adams on our electric cars from White (Salmon, and they will find recre ation In on of the most, beautiful park lakes on earlh over what we now know as the can yon along the .lewett creek. Weattended the sale at the Lindsay farm last Haturday. We noticed in the assembled crowd mBny of our White Salmon people. Zclgler. Crepps, Waldo, Kgan, Condon, Woods and others were there with vehicles to cart away the plunder. Zelgler bore away trium phantly a pair of sauce dishes a dream in white; Condon had In the back of his wagon a mllk-pail with a hole In the bottom; Kgan proudly brought home an Icecream freezer on which there was an inscription showing It had been used in the household of Kameses III., king of Kgypt. The Up wouldn't screw down and the bottom was out. Waldo came away with a granite pan on which a small pleceof granite was stlll vlslble; Hick Creppi got a half rionen reversible cuspidors and some mosquito netting. There was a big at tendance. Rolls Adams, as auctioneer, laid aside all bis customary piety and told the truth but twice during the day. Home things sold for less than their value and some for more. Kverybody was there and it was a "potlatch" long to be remembered, K. K. Fields' dog drilled six feet deep and got water. It came within three feet of the lop In three hours. He dug down to the water, alter locating It by some mysterious Instinct unknown to man. The owner or the dog had previously dug 22 feet and failed to find It. Knterprlse, August 2.. Tho dog Is a well driller by Instinct. He carries no witch hazel and works with no complicated or elab orate machinery. That dog iiad seen his master perspire over a 22-foot hole and was struck with compassion. He dug six feet with his fore feet, and some people seem to think that he outdid his master, but his mas ter, with only two feet, had already dug 22 feet. If his master with two feet dug 22 feet, with one loot tie could dig one-halt of 22 feet, orli feel with one foot. The dog with four feet, dug six feet, or oue-foui th of six feet, or IS feel With one foot. Ho, after all, Mr. Fields beat the dog. It was wrong for Mr. Fields to heat his dog. No man should beat his dog; hut he did beat the dog, for with one foot, us we have already mien, he dug II feet, while the dog with his fore feet dug but six feet, and then In three hours came to within three feet of I he top. All White Sunnon Is agitated over this thing and we would be glad of some help from the outside. farmkrh' ishtitcte. September 9 and 10, we will have a Farmers' institute at White Salmon. It will be a good live one, too. Sessions will be held on Wednesday at 10 a. ni. and 2 p. m., and again at 8 o'clock in the evening. On, Thursday, the 10th, sessions will be hold at 10 a. m. and 2 p. Closing The entire stock of merchandise, consisting of Groceries, Hardware, Stoves, Born Ranges, Har-' ness, Paints, Wagons and Farming Tools. All will be sold at cost plus freight, to satisfy the cred itors of ABBOTT & CO. You need our goods; we want your money; and in order to pay our bills we are compelled to make the sacrifice. OUR BOOKS will bo closed from this time on. All sales will be made for cash. WHOLESALE prices will be maintained throughout. FLOUR AND FEED Will be sold at mill prices, freight and cartage add ed. Now is a good time to la3 in a stock. As wheat is advancing, prices will be subject to change without notice. Horses, Wagons and Store Fixtures for sale, Store for Kent or Sale. OVEE Five Carloads of Furniture Sold Since the Beginning of this Year. ALMOST ONE CAR LOAD PER MONTH. This may seem like a fairy tale or a fish story, but it is nevertheless true. We are not inclined to boast through the columns of the paper, but to keep abreast with the times we are justified in stat ing facts. Come to think about it, there is not so very much furniture in a car load $1200 or ijfloOO worth and sold on a close margin it is not a big thing, nor would we try to deceive any one. Every week word comes to us that our prices are lelow Portland prices. Glad to show you our full stock at any time. Denier in Doors and Windows. All Kinds Build ing: Material.

Lawrence, superintendent of the state experiment station at Puyallup, will make plant diseases, tomato and other blights his special topic. We have often attended such institutes at Hood River with great profit, and we cordially invite Hood River farmers and fruit growers to attend and hear a new corps of specialists on topics of vital interest. The school bond election came off Tuesday 56 votes being cast, 35 -of which favored a new school building, and 21 were "fominst." The votes against, with a very few exceptions, came from families farthest from the school site. In this matter, oar paper, the Enterprise, has voiced no senti ment, whatever. Tiie school directors find that it will be possible to open the public school on next Monday, September 7. This will make it possible to close a week earlier in the spring, when older pupils will be neeueu in me spring worn, iteiiiemuer the date Monday, the 7th. The Glacier is increasing its sub scription list on this side of the river because of its efforts to furnish the news and treat us with fairness. Jlosier Items.
