monument BIAS Troubles OF Her Own

Monument Hns Troubles OF Her Own
The town of Monument is at a loss
to know how to enforce the laws
made by the council. The question
is the marshalship business. No one
seems to care to have the office and
without marshal 1t is useless to try
to do anything. In the first place
there is no salary to the office no
one cares to take the office just for
the honor.
The question was brought up at the
council melting Monday and the mat
ter was discussed and 1t was decld-
ed to pay salary to the marshal.
Another question of importance
that came before the house and that
was the dog tax. This move was
started the first of the year and has
created some hard feelings among the
people who have dogs. A tax was
levied on all dogs running at large
on the streets and some paid the tax,
while others refused, says the Monu-
ment Enterprise.

SINGS OF CENTRAL OREGON
Monument Enterprise Shows Genu-
inc Springtime Enthusiasm.

Inc Springtime EntnuSlaSm.
With genuine springtime enthusiasm
the editor of the Monument Enter
prise sings the praise and depicts the
surprising beauty of central oregon,
as follows:
Monument against the state for its
golden advantages in stock raising,
fruit growing, good water, fine cli-
mate and its abundance of excellent
stock feed.
We will endeavor to give a short
sketch OF this country and its many
advantages to induce people who are
seeking homes to pay this place Wis
1t before going further. The winters
are mild, with no snow to speak of at
all.
An abundance Of fine alfalfa hay
is harvested, from three to four crops
are cut each year. Nearly all cereals
can be grown here with but little
trouble. Fine orchards and gardens
can be seen on all sides with beauti-
full streams of water running through
them and it has been proved that the
fruit and vegetables raised here are
equal to the Hood River product, all
1t lacks is the name.
At the present time stock raising
is the chief industry, principally
sheep. Horses, cattle and hogs also
thrive well. 1t is surprising to see
the amount of stock driven from here
each year.
Next month the country will be
green as far as the eye can see; the
meadows with the sweet perfume and
the busy bee gathering the honey;
the orchard with its many blossoms.
the lambs playing on the hillside; the
happy farmers singing as they go
about their daily work, accompanied
by the sweet voices Of the meadow
lark, the crews of men clipping the
wool from the lazy sheep, while other
men with wagons drawn by four to
10 horses are hauling the wool to
market, all this does> not begin to
the pleasures that this coun-
try affords.
Again we invite the homeless peo-
pie to the land of opportunities.

Miners Union VIII Buy No More
Goods in Sheridan.


By unanimous vote, the local min
ers' union of Dietz, the members of
which are employed at the three big
coal mines of the Sheridan Coal COM
any, near this city, imposed fine of
$3.50 ION any member of this union
caught buying goods in Sheridan,
says a dispatch from Sheridan, Wyo.
This is the strongest union in the
Sheridan district, and as the term
goods" was expressly said to include
those Of the wet variety, this city is
awaiting developments in what prom
ises to be a serious sectional warfare.
The Dietz union numbers about
1000 and most of them, including
their families, are frequent visitors to
the city of Sheridan.
The boycott is a result Of contro-
versy over the Dietz water supply,
which has been occupying the atten-
tion Of the city council of Sheridan
and the coal company for several
months. The coal company has
brought suit against the city of sher-
idan for dumping its sewage into Big
Goose creek, from which the Dietz
water is taken five miles below. The
city contends that the sewage is thor
oughly purified before its discharge
into the stream, and will strenuously
defend its position in the courts.
It was stated that an amicable ad-
justment has about been reached
whereby Dietz will be supplied from
the city mains as soon as the new
$3.50, 900 extension is completed this
fall, and that this arrangement will be
satisfactory to the coal company. The
coal company is said to have opposed
the boycott, and will endeayor to have
it recovered before Sheridan citizens
begin 70 retaliate.
