The wedding season is now drawing
to n close. and a lot of vacation days
are still left the youngsters for play.
The cultivation OF the beet crop,
which will now go on till close UP
to the harvest time. will be done
mainly by more ablc-hodicd workers,
the adult Mcxicans, Indians. Japs and
Russians, of whom we are coming to
have quite n resident supply, and
these supplemented by the many i'm
ported for the season and returned
when the work season is over.
To very many of the readers OF the
Enterprise it is supcrfluous to de-
scribe the cultivation given the SUI
gar beet. They are old friends who
have been readers of these columns
even before beet culture became a
distinct industry OF the Arkansas
Valley and nobody can tell them how
il is done. There are new comcrs,
however. who may be interested.
In the cultivation OF bccts, rs in
the care OF any other crop, no hard
and fast rule can be laid down, as
each grower knows best the condi-
tions that govern his locality as to
climate, etc, and the field agent OF
the sugar factory will doubtless prod
him up on some things he does not
know. There is one principle that
can be laid down with emphasis for
all growers of the crop. They can
bear in mind at all times the fact .hat
il is much easier to keep weeds from
starting than it. is to kill them after
they have sproutcd. 1t is also TACT
that every fresh growth of weeds,
even should they be killed out after
wards. take plant food from the sol!
that should go to the crop. thereby
affecting the yield in both quality and
in quantity, and the extra cost of kill.
ing the weeds makes the expense OF
growing the crop heavier in propor-
tion to the amount produced. Horse
cultivation should begin at the carl
lest possible time, as soon as the
rows can be seen. If a heavy rain
packs the soil after planting and
before the seed comes up and crust
forms on the surface, use some IN
plcmcnt to break the crust. Some use
the roller others use the wecder, spi-
der wheels, etc. A light harrow with
the teeth we'll slantcd backward or
spiked float is good implement to
use. As soon as the beets are up so
that it is possible to follow the row,
go through again with the aultivator,

A GOOD WOMAN GONE.

were. These latter were her longtime
neighbors; part Of those who came in
the early days to locate in the same
neghborhood. and the honorable office
they filled was significant Of the lasting
friendships that had been built upon a
mutual esteem.
The names of the bearers were J. H.
Crowley, F. M. Harsin, VIM. Mathews. H.

His Fifteenth Anniversary.

At the M. E, Church last Sunday morn
ing the time usually devoted to good
sermon was given to review Of Rev.
F. R. Hollenbaok's fifteen years in the
ministry, the day being the anniversary
Of his service in the pulpit. While much
Of the reminiscent matter was Of per-
sonal character. large portion of the
time was devoted to the work of the mir
istry in general way. Those uniform
ed or prejudieed' people who talk as If a
pastors work were limited to two hours
weekly that being the time occupied by
the Sunday morning and evening sermons
would have heard something educa-
tional had they been present, And for
loyal members Of the church the facts
stated as to the practical work Of pas
tor, were calculated to inspire greater
appreciation Of the service rendered. The
address throughout was interesting, in
structive. timely and valuable.

North Bank Division at Cliffs.

Since building has commenced on
the north bank road great deal of
speculation has been INDUCED in as to
where the division point on the road
would be locatei, White Salmon,
Bingen, Lyle, Columbus Cliffs and
Roosevelt each claiming to be the fav-
ored point. 1t has now been definitely
decided by the railroad company that
the division point shall be located at
the new town of Cliffs, four miles east
OF Columbus.
At this point will lie located the re-
pair shops of the company, round
house, coal bunkeIs aud other in
dents of division point aud distrlct
terminal on trunk line, and here
trains will be re-adjusted and made
up tor eastern points.
The contractors, Winters, parson &
Boomer, have received orders from
the railroad company to begin the
construction of tue railroad yards at
Cliffs and the contractors say that II
will take crew at least six months
to complete the improvements ccn-
templated by the company at this
point. 1t looks like Cliffs WAS des-
tined to become an important point
and before many months we may look
to see flourisbing town on the beau

NOTICE.

Every one owning land under the
East Fork llrigating company's ditch
take notice.
The company has re- organized and
Is now on mutual plan. They are
selling capital stock at the par value
of one hundred dollars per share.
Each share of stock carries a perpet,
ual water right for three inches of
water, provided stock is purchased on
or before August lst, 1907. After Au-
gust lst until January LIST, 1908, all
stock purchased will carry perpetual
water right for two inches of water
for each share OF stock. So don't
make mistake by letting August 1st
pass without water right. At least
don't blame the company for not ad
vising you OF the advance on that
date. We figure that the company will
practically be made up by August 1st,
and some will let the date pass and
depend on buying their irrigating
water. And no doubt the company
Will serve them as best they can from.
the individual stockholders surplus.
AS some have anticipated their wants
and bought more water than they can
use Just now, so the company win try
to take care of this surplus by selling
to any applicant ca, b year. But we
believe 1T will only be short time
until all stockholders will use all wa.er
they have contracted for and the man
who buys from year to year will have
no assurance whatever.
The sale of the capital STOCK is un
der the control of the board of direc-
tors and limited to five hundred
shares [and they are instructed by the
stockholders to stop sale of stock at
any time they deem expedient to the
best Interests of the company. For
