KEEP IN MIND
CAR SITUATION

Sc far the car situation has been
alright, but it should be remembered
that all cars so far fun shed to po-
tato shippers in the eastern part of
the state and other potato sections,
have been ordinary box cars, and will
be SO long as the weather remains
good, but as soon as the weather
turns colder, it viii require refrig-
orator cars which will cut down
the supply for the moving of the
apple crop. An urgent request has
been made for all shippers to load
their apples six tiers high which
would mean ca1Tto move as many
apples as six u Sed the usual way.
1t would be a serious proposition if
a shortage in cars would come upon
US with the season 50 tar advanced. !
Now is the time to make good useI
OF the cars when we can get them.

COMPTON-ROAS.

1t is very inconvenient for the
reporter to have the weddings occur
just at the time of going to press
Sometimes the write-urs done in ad,
vance lose in accuracy what they
gain in time. The Enterprise however
does not intend to omit mention of
so important an event as the Comp
ton-Boas wedding of last week Thurs
day.
Mrs. Compton We all know. Mr..
Boas came from Curtis. Nebraska.
They were married at the rooms
now occupied by Mrs. Bowen, at
O'Clock, Thursday October 4th. The
immediate friends were the only
guests, and Rev. Mr.. Reed cfficiated.
The dinner was served at the Ban
croft and no one familiar with the
dining room service that Mrs. Reilly
rendered while hostess there, neds
any detail of the dinner after the
statement that she left nothing I'M
done to make it an exquisite meal
Mr. and Mrs. Boas are seeing some
thing of Idaho before going to
their eastern home; which by the
way is not only his home for many
years but also is the town where
Mrs. Compton went to housekeeping
when she was first bride. The two
families were of the group of newly
WGds in the small town so tbie
marriage has a bit of romance as
well as promise of full happiness,
which the Enterprise joins the host
of other friends in wishing them.

Sunday evening the Hotel Ban

became a community gathering. 1t
was announced Saturday that spe'
cial dinner would be served from tc
8 o'clock, with music by the Anderson
Sisters. Friends of. the genial Hosts
phoned for tables and at 6 O'Clock
when the dining room doors were
thrown open every place was taken,
and many waited in the Lobby un-
til the early arrivals had been serv--
ed.
The Musical Family entered into
the spirit of the evening and charm
ingly rendered both vocal and in
strumental selections.
The dining room had been made
more attractive by a profusion of n
tumn leaves, and tables at which
there were dinner parties, had Ella
borate floral centerpieces.
An excellent dinner was served.
1t is to be hoped there will bel
more occasions like this to promote
sociability. The Hotel Bancroft could
well become the Social Center of
