ENTERPRISE MEAT
MARKET IS SOLD
S. E. coMeEs BUYS OUT PRICE
& HoMAN-PITzER GETS
sLAcksMITH SHOP.

Two important business deals were
closed Friday evening, S. E. Combe !
becoming proprietor OF the Enter
prise meat market, and /. N. Pitzer
buying the Combes blacksmith shop.
The new owners took charge Satur-
day morning.
Mr.. Combes bought the full interest
of August Price and Delbert Homan
in the meat market, stock and fix
lures. the deal involving about
$4,000. Mr.. Price retains ownership
of the land south OF town, includ-
ing the new house and barn, and
the slaughter house. The latter is
leased by Mr.. Combes. Mr.. Homan
takes the town property where Mr..
Price has been residing, the two
former partners thus exchanging res
idences. The removals were made
Tuesday.
The Enterprise market has been a
splendid business proposition and
was run as few markets outside of
large cities are conducted. Mr.. Price
is an expert meat cutter and Mr.. Ho-
man did the outside work, but both
men have been Ill for several months
and are compelled to retire to en-
deavor to regain their health. Mr..
Combes is one of the best known
and liked men in the city and Is
noted for strict attention to business.
He will keep up the reputation of the
shop for good meats. G. H. Vest,
who has been acting as cutter during
the Illness of Mr.. Price, continues
with Mr.. Combes.
The Combes blacksmith shop and
tools was sold to T. r. Atkins, who
owned the ground, and he in turn
sold the tools and leased the shop to
l. N. Pitzer, the we'll known black
smith, and who is known to have no
superior at the blacksmith trade in
this county. Mr.. Pitzer will move
the shop he recently built to the
rear of the Combes shop and use it
for a wood working shop.

BUILDING ACTIVE
IN COUNTY SEAT
WORKING ON FOUR BIG sTRUc-
TuREs BESIDES RESIDENCES
LIE EXPOSED.

Building operations are under way
in earnest in Enterprise this week.
Ground was broken Tuesday for
Liteh's big Stone business block on
Main street. 30 men are working on
the court house. the everlasting
concrete walls of the wool growers
warehouse are slowly rising and
work on Burnaush & Mayfieid,s
stone wareroom will be in progress
before the end of the week S. r.
Haworth, the courthouse contractor,
viii also erect the Litch and Bur
laugh bdildings of the Bowlby stone.
In addition several new residences
are going up and a dozen more will
be started as soon as the lumber
can be had. Haworth is shipping
in lumber from La Grande, receiv-
ing car load Monday.
ANOTHER LIE NAILED.
The spite of the Joseph Herald
or some parties in Joseph against
Enterprise has been vented all win
ler and spring on the woolmen for
deciding to build their warehouse
in this city. 1t took particularly
yicious turn last week in stating the
woolgrowers warehouse had been
condemned by the railroad officials.
There is not one word of truth In
he article, and the stockholders, COM
posed of many of the leading wool
growers of the county, are justly
indignant at its publication. Oae Of
hem telephoned Engineer Brandon,
who was with the officials when
hey inspected the railroad last
week. He said 1t was a "lie made
out of whole CLOTH The officials
never looked at the warehouse, and
Mr.. Knapp, the contractor. says they
lid not even stop.
The editor of this paper in com
pany with Mr.. Brandon watched
the progress of the. work on the
warehouse for some time Friday. Mr..
Brandon, who had much experience
in concrete work, was strong in his
praise of the building and said 1t
would be the finest thing of the
kind on the o. r. & N. road.
The concrete walls are stronger
than If built of granite, twice as
thick, and the longer they stand the
stronger they will be. Concrete is
the only absolutely fireproof build
ing material, and further it keeps
out heat or cod better than any
other. The advantage of this during
he hot days when wool is stored is
apparent to every experienced wool
grower. 1t will save hundreds of
dollars of shrinkage.

pAIRYINe DID NOT PAY.
(From Jensen's Dairyman.)


A Nebraska subscriber tells how
dairying is done in that state. He
says. "A few years ago a neigh
Dor of mine had few native cows,
He said he didn't believe there was
anything in the dairy business, but
he was willing to give it a fair trial.
He bought separator, a shotgun,
q Funning horse, saddle, Here
ford bull, and two gallons Of booze
and was loaded for the dairy bust
ness. 1t is needless to say that
he proved conclusively in very
short time that the was nothing
in it," The statement that dairying
does not pay as rule comes from a
class Of farmers who have not Civ
en- the business ia r trial. When a
man says dair. ing does not pay it
Is certain that he does not know
the da ry business and could not
make it ray II he would. There is.
however, encou, cement for such a
man, ilasmuch as there are numer-
GUS good GARY papers at small cost
and bulletins on dairy subjects to
be had free. If the man who honest
ly wants to make a profit from his
dairy herd will set about to learn
how the profits are made, he will
succeed, and in doing SO will be able
to realize a prsfit from his dairy
in the proportion to the intelligence
used in the work.

GRATITUDE OF THIEVES.
Their Longing For Association with
Honest Men.

The thief in the community is very
much like the boy whose meanness or
ruffianism had caused the other little
children to band together to ostraclze
him.. He may move about with sui
len swagger, carry a chip on his Shout
der and a vicious CLEAN in his eye, but
there is always sob in his throat.
So the thief is longing and aching to
get back in the circle out OF which ne
has been ruled
If any honest man wants to meet
lively gratitude let HIM knowingly give
the countenance of his company TO a
crook. 1t will be favor never forgot
ten. Every lawyer practlc1ng at the
criminal bar knows this. One very
we'll known practitioner OF genial per-
sonality and large tolerance occasion

embarrassing results, due to the GRIM

sono Of the Ancient Spinning Reel

Soma Of the Ancient Spinning Reel.
The first reel that was invented was
the hand reel, the yarn being wound
into skeins by turning the wheel ana
fastening the skeins after counting
sufficient number of strands. The Hax
was first woven into thread or yarn
on the spinning wheel; then the boo-
bins full of yarn were placed on the
hand reel and yarn wound off them on
to the wheels into skeins. The strands
were carefully counted and the lleben
fastened on them to keep them togetn-
or. The ueben was thread running
across the skeins to keep them IN
place.
A later invention was the clock reel
with a face on which numbers were
printed. and it had two hands ike q
clock. When the wheel was turned,
reelfng off the strands from the DoDDln'
the clock would tick when a certain
number Of strands were wound on the
reel. and the housewife, instead OF
tediously counting the threads, as on
the earlier invented reel, would fasten
on the lieben.
In quaint old ballad entitled mis-
tress Polly at the ReeP' occurs this re-
frain:
He kissed Mistress Polly as the clock reel
ticked
the kissing being done at the propi-
tious moment when Mistress Polly
was busy fastening on the lieben.
