FALL TERM JOHN S. HODGIN. S.B., L.S.R. Editorial Comment, June 23, 1898 It is a most disgusting sight to people of common sense to see a lot of young girls and sometimes young women hanging around criminals and lawbreakers as tho they were heroes rather than vultures preying upon the Indulgence of the law. That you women of this town should get such ideas into their heads is still more disgusting. It is generally supposed that women always look with disapproval upon lawlessness, but there seems to be a few, who by their maneuvers, manifest, sympathy with the man who has committed a crime, and thus give lawlessness their approbation. The mothers of these girls should be made acquainted with the movements of their daughters, especially when they get so “foxy” as to dance the skirt dance in plain sight of passers by. Brevitites Wm. McCormack of Alder states that his hay will go three tons to the acre. F. D. McCully and the editor of this paper passed Saturday evening and Sunday on the lake in F. D.’s new sail boat. They had a very pleasant excursion but as far as F. D. and the editor are concerned, the fish still enjoy themselves to the lake. July 23,1885 The red fish are still arriving at the lake in small schools. One reason that the run is not large is because there are so many traps in the river below here.

Reavis’ school. No pains have been spared to make this a first class entertainment. Everybody invited. The editor of this paper paid the town of Alder a visit last week, the first for several months. He was agreeably surprised to find it growing so rapidly; several new houses and a church being in course of construction. The store of Conaway & Wilson is doing a thriving trade, the blacksmiths are busy and W. P. Samms is kept busy filling orders for sash, doors, etc. “May the good work prosper.” F. A. Clarke An Optimist, F. A. Clarke, who has been at Salem and
other outside points, returned on Tuesday’s stage. From his
observation he thinks times at least not worse in Wallowa than in
other parts of the state. Will Build Band Stand C. H. Zurcher is meeting with good success in securing subscriptions for a band stand. The business men have subscribed liberally and it will certainly be completed in a few weeks. The city council donated 150 and the lower part of the stand will be used as a base house. J. P. Gardner, a prominent resident of Enterprise, came over the first of the week to see about disposing of his wool clip.

April 2, 1897 Miss Bertha Heman (now Mrs. Bertha Millard) is attempting to ride on horseback thru the night water last Thursday was thrown from her horse and was drifted against the fence where she lodged until Messers. Bater and Dunbar ran in and got her out. G. O. P. Stands Firm. The La Grande Observer is lamenting the
supposed eruption in the republican ranks in this state. Never fear
brother; the members of the republican party may indulge in domestic
quarrels that seemingly border on divorce proceedings but when it
comes to upholding and maintaining the principles of that party, you
will see every member in line ready to do his duty. Need Electric Plant Enterprise needs an electric light plant. Investigation will show that a second hand plant can be obtained at a nominal price, and in this county where freight is so high the price of the plant could almost be saved in one year. A. C. Smith has purchased a residence and moved into town, and will hereafter devote his entire time to the practice of law.
