O. K. Aiken, Managing Editor SUBSCRIPTION Ono Year. 2.00 oirr tjik good out of it Tho very candid story concerning tho Warmsprlngs Irrigation dis trict which tho Portland Telegram printed under the name of Its staff writer, Henry Hanzen will bo a great Injury or a blessing just as tho people within tho district deter mine. Tho statements concerning tho financial condition of tho district woro quoted from a momorlal which tho directors themselves prepared and had sent forward to Represen tative Sluuott as tho basis for be ginning nn appeal for Congressional relief. SInco hey mado theso state ments themselves they cannot now condemn tho Telegram for publish ing them. Wo believe that thoy woro printed in tho Vale Enter prise at tho tlmo tho memorial was prepared, and thus woro given to tho public and any of tho metropol itan papers might at that time havo secured them. SInco tho directors of tho Warm springs In their Memorial to Con gross rolatod their financial status and thus It can not jyu disputed, tho thing to bo dono 1b not to con demn tho Tolegrum for printing tho story which tho directors themselves mado public; but to make a dofiulto offort to placo tho pcoplo of tho dis trict upon a permanently profitable basis. This Is tho ono hopo of salvation. It has been proven that Improved ngrlculturo will save a situation ns dosporato as tho Warmsprlngs di rectors ndmlt tholrs to be. Tho ob ject lesson is not so far away that It noed bo disputed; It can bo r found down at Jeiomu and Wendell, Ida ho whoro through tho Introduction of tho dairy cow It. E. Shopard managor of tho North Sldo Twin Falls Tract haB already strongth onod tho market for 'tho bonds' of that district lit leas than a year. Fuithormoro though huudteds of cows havo boon placed In tho hands of ranchers thoro, nioro nro to fol low. From a roglon which socurod llt tlo or nothing from dairying thoro Is bolng pnld ovory day to tho farm ors of that tract $1,G00 and thoy plan to increase- this to $10,000. With tholr prosont lncomo tho set tlors aro beginning to seo daylight nhead of thorn. It Is also truo that , fiom tho proportion set nsldo from each cream 'chock to pay for the cows oilglunlly purchased theso animals nio now, in a majority of tho cases, tho propoity of tho ranch ors. Mr. Shopard faced a problem ns difficult of solution as that of tho Wnrmspiings. In sohlng It ho has dono tho district and tho entire state of Idnho a ronl sorvlco. Ho has lod tho way to a stabilized ngil cultiuo In tlio Joromo and Womloll soctlons. Tho Warmsprlngs Dis trict can do tho same thing for Mal heur county, Oregon, Wo bollovo that should tho Warmsprlngs I)ls trlot sccuio for tho management of Its affairs a man of Mr. Shepnrd's vision and ability it can turn its piosout predlcnmout Into a blosslng nnd servo not only itself and Its pco plo, but tho ontlro county nnd state. Such a proceoduro calls for hard work and perhaps years of offort, but It will be worth while. Nothing olso will sufftco. It Is needless to observe that though tho form of tho obligation bo changed nnd tho gov ornmont outer tho field, still tho bonds nro out against the pioject, tho cost must bo paid from tho pro ducts of tho land. It moro fnuir ablo terms can bo socurod by gov ernment co-oporntlon of course tho pooplo should endeavor to socuro that nld, and nro justified in so do ing. This howovor, should not ho tho only plan followed or depended upon. Efforts should bo made now to as sist tho Bottlers on tho lauds to suc ceed bo that others will be attracted to sottlo bosldo thorn. ThU is tho hopo of all this roglon. Tho Wnrm Bprlngs Is not alono in facing a hard ACROSS THE STREET FROM THE POSI OFFICE HUNDREDS of convenient and necessary tilings for your homes, including . CHINA AND GLASS WARES, ALUMIN UM, ENAMELED AND TIN WARES. THE VARIETY STORE THE problem. Practically every lrrlga- gatlon project in the West, In vary ing degree, It Is true, is up against tho same difficulty. This calls for a united offort on tho part of tho people on the lands and In the towns. No matter how magnificent may bo the plans for boosting this region, unless, first the prosperity of tho ranchers now hero is secured they will fall, for the ono bid we have to make for other Bottlers -la that those now op orating properties hero are produc ing profitable crops under living conditions which appeal to Amer icans. Till AMERICAN' FARMER VS THE SLAVIC COAL MINER? If tho farmers went on strike woild tho railroad men stop gard ening In sympathy? If tho farmers went on strike would tho railroad men seo their children Btarvo rather than make the offort to get food for them? We bcllevo not. Tho coal miners who havo been on strike for months havo shown what thoy tlitnk of the right of ovory man to his Job. They havo raised gardens, milked cows and en tered directly Into competition with tho farmer. Of course it Is all right for a rail road man or a coal minor to . com poto with the farmer so tho rail road men think and tho coal miner too but If a poor rancher; who has gono broko trying to raise cropk at tho prices received tho past few years; were to go now and take one of tho Jobs which these railroad men, or miners left, Imagine the howl that thoy would raise. Tho ono good thing contained in President Harding's message to con gross was the admission that tho country is at the mercy of tho Unlt od Mine Workers of America. It Is well that this fact bo faced. Not until tho peoplo admit tho danger of a condition will they sot about try ing to correct it. It Is about tlmo that tho "people know that thoy aro at tho mercy of tho United Mine Workers of Amer lca; and to know too; that the mem bership of tho United MIno Workers Is fully C5 per cont Slavic, that over half of tho mombors, It Is safe to say, are not ovon citizens of the United States. This Is a flno state of affairs. The President of tho United States open ly admits that a nation of One Hun drod Millions of pcoplo is nt tho morcy of four hundred ' thousand coal minors, not half of whom aro Its cltizons. v Talk about being dominated by foreign lnfluonco, should wo onter tho Loaguo of nations? According to Prosldont Hnrdlng's own state ment wo havo forolgn Interference right horo now. IRONSIDE NEWS Miss Mary Lnckoy of Ontario,! spent tho past week hero as tho guest of Miss Dottlo Locoy.
