The Mill City Enterprise VOLUME XXIV ON THE SCENIC NORTH SANTIAM HIGHWAY — OREGON’S FAST GROWING VACATION WONDERLAND NUMBER Hi ^5" THE MILL CITY ENTERPRISE—MILL CITY, OREGON THURSDAY, JUNE 19, 19G9 I 4th of July Princesses Coronation The Avenue Ceremonies Scheduled Up and Down By Don Moffatt We arrived at Granville, N. D.. on Sunday the 8th about noon, and have made the home of my brother, Al and his wife, Mabel our headquarters for the week. We’ll leave this Sunday, Father’s Day, for Jamestown for the get-togeth er with Alta's sisters and bro thers. At Granville, I have visited all my childhood haunts, and have found them greatly chang ed, They say nothing stays the same, and this community is no different than any other. One thing that saddens me is the state of some of the fine eld homes that graced this town in the early days. It seems as soon as they are va cant, they become a shambles in no time. Of course on the farms, the same as in Iowa, buildings have fallen into dis repair or have been moved into town. The farms are big, and getting bigger all the time. Some of the farmers have tak en advantage of the high land prices and have sold out and quit farming. Can’t say that I blame them, as farming is quite a gamble. We have had frost here for a couple of nights but I don’t know the extent of the damage done to the crops. Time alone will tell that story. Have seen some fine fields of wheat and rye since coming here. I got in a couple of hours of gopher shooting the other day. That used to be my childhood pastime when I was a boy. I didn’t shoot on the old home place as the old pasture is now being farmed. I went out shoot ing with my niece, Bonnie Mof fatt on their farm right near where we lived. It was a lot if fun. We have visited relatives and friends in this area, and it is about time to hook up and travel on. This vacation is stretching out quite awhile and it will seem good to get home again, and get back into the harness. I guess I could get along all right without working full time, but I feel s:rt of use less. I must canfess that our crew at the shop seems to be getting along just fine without me. and I don't know whether to be happy about this or not. Maybe they’ll just inf irm me that I am no longer a necessary part of the operation there and turn me out to pasture. That would really shake me up. After a few days in James town, we’ll go to Bismarck to visit friends, then on to Dick- instn, Medora and up to Wat ford City for a few days lief ore leaving via, Highway No. 2 <>ut towards Glacier National park. We haven’t been there for some time so that will most likely look new to us. So to the crew I’ll say— ■ hang and rattle” for a couple of more weeks or so. and we’ll see you some time after the Fourth. Boy of The Month Sparking the 4th of July ceremonies will be the crown ing of the 1969 Queen this Friday, June 20 at the Grade school gym at 7:30 p. m. Last year’s Queen.
