The White Salmon Enterprise has
passed the first mile post of its existence
and enters upon the second cycle with q
write up of its town. 1t seems to have
withstood pretty we'll the mumps,
measles, rash, itch, teething and para
sites ct cetera incident to infantile life,

catch up with the time when IL will be
able to doff its pinafore and don its first
pair OF pajamas. May its hopes be
realized.
As the Glacier predicted two weeks
ago, number OF our enterprising citi-
zens have followed Walter McGuire's
example and have put in cement walks
from their dwellings to their gates.
Among them we noticed this kind OF
walks on the property of II. ]. Burkett,
Captain A. S. Blowers, and John G.
Zolls. Captain Blowers has stone curb
ing to his walks which adds to their
appearance. There is hardly any inn
provement that can be made which will
so enhance the beauty Of home as
neat cement walks, especially II accom-
panied by well kept lawn.
Street Commissioner Cunning is en-
gagged with force OF six men and three

the surface. The street will be improved
as far as the bridge. The ditch being
made on the south side OF the street will
prevent the water from coursing down
