SCHOOL NOTES
BY THE COUNTY
SCHOOL SUPT.
The following set of ruins govern
ing l.he County Oratorical Contest
was formu'.at'id Saturday by th
Ccunlv Committee piovided for in thf
original set of rules, which have been
lost for about two years. The com
mittee tried to incorporate most of
the old regulations as they were re
membered, and also added a few sug
gestions that were thought would fa
vor the rural schools. It is hoped
that many of the schools outside the
towns of Vale, Oi.taiio nnd Nyssa will
send contestants to Vale this year.
The original idea wus to make this
contest an all-county contest, but for
the past few years it has resolved it
self into a triangular affair in which
the three schools only took part. A
number of rural schools have signi
fied their intention to send contest
ants thin year and some of the small
er towns are also making such plana.
The executive commictee for this
year consists of the County School
Superintendent, G. A. Riring, E. G.
Bailey, A. H. Voegelein anu Will J.
Roberts.

A telegram from Washington, D.
C, announcing the appointment of M.
N. Fegtly as receiver of the U. S.
Land Ofice nt Vale, was received by
C. C. Mueller of this city Monday.
This appointment has been expect
ed since the announcement some time
ago that Thos. Jones, the present
register, and M. N. Fegtly had been
decided upon for tho appointment
to the land office positions. Mr.
Guild, the old receiver, has been try
ing to let go for months, and will be
glad to learn that someone is coming
to his relief.
Mr. Fegtly and his wife will take
up their residence in Vale immedi
ately, no doubt and Mr. Fegtly will
probably dispose of his newspaper
plant at Jordan Valley. The Jordan
Valley Express is ore of 'the best ray
ing small newspaper propositions ip
the county, and a man who is both a
printer and publisher can secure a
neat income from the paper, as he
could reduce the expense of the publi
cation to the minimum.
DREWSEY HAS
NEWSPAPER
Ed. L. Beede, an old-time printer
and newspaper man, has taken over
the Drewsey News, and will continue
the publication as the Pioneer Sun.
Ed. has been out of harness for some
twenty years, but the first number of
his' new paper indicates that he has
not lost his grip.
The people of that section of Har
ney county are to be congratulated
upon getting the old timer back into
the work, for he will be a wide awake
booster for that country when he gets
his pen hand limbered to the work.
MALHEUR COUNTY SCHOOL

Mr. Roberts, teacher in district No.
33, has called for several more stars
for his standardization card. About
the only star yet to be gained by this
district, is the one indicating suffi
cient playground apparatus. Plans
are being made whereby this can
be provided soon.
Mr. N. C. Maris, Field Industrial
Worker from the state department,
will be in Malheur county for about
ten days during the month of March.
Schools wishing to take up the Indus
trial Club wotk will please send in
written requests for visits from Mr.
Maris. As his time will be limited it
will not be possible for him to visit all
the schools in the county, and schools
asking for this work will be consid
ered first in planting the ten days
visit. Address all requests to the
County Superintendent's office.
Five teachers writing for teachers
certificates in Malheur county failed
to pass the examination. The ques
tions given In December were more
difficult in some respects than those
given in June, and the papers were
graded more closely. As the state
standard is raised, our teachers will

New Rules and Regulations Ad
opted by Committee and Rural
Schools to Compete
In the county school superintend
ent's school notes this week will be
seen the names of committeemen and
the new rules adopted for the Malheur
County Declamatory Contest for this
year.
The Enterprise is pleased to note
that the contest is to be conducted
upon a broader plain this year. Stu
dents from the rural schools and those
of the smaller towns are to be urged
to enter the contest, and instead of
having one contestant form each of
the three larger schools at Nyssa,
Ontario and Vale, as heretofore, ev
ery district in tho county will be rep
resented, if county school superinten
dent's office can induce them to take
the necessary interest.
The best talent of the nation has
come from the farms, and there is no
reason why the farming communi
ties of Malheur county should not
produce oratorical talent that will
win the honors of this contest.
Vale will entertain the contestants
this year, the contest being held on
the last Saturday in March. The
people at the county seat never do
anything by halves, and they invite
and urge the" people in every school
district in the county to send a repre
sentative to the next contest to make
a try for the silver cup. Vale will
prepare a program for the enter
tainment of the contestants and visit
ors that will make your visit to the
county seat a pleasure long to be re
membered, whether you capture the
prize or not. The Enterprise will
keep the people of the county posted
upon the progress of preparations,
and will give the program to be fur
nished by the Vale people as soon as
it is completed.

DRY RANCHER
WANTS SETTLERS
(By Morris McCarty.)
By the side of the Malheur river
you will find a dryland homesteader,
who has traveled over the United
States and Canada in Bearch of a lo
cation he might call his own, where
he could build a snug little home. He
has grown tired of roaming, and he
sees this thing of "Come West" be
coming a thing of the past. He Bees
in his mind the time when all young
men and women who wish to own a
portion of this rich Oregon land must
actually get busy and secure some for
themselves, as it is fast dwindling
away.
The writer dwells beside the old
Malheur, where there is lots of fuel
to burn.as there i'J on each section of
land in the country. Now is the time
to secure a home at a very low figure.
Come to the land of sunshine and
wealth, where young and old can find
a home. Don't miss this chance, for
tho busy capitalists are now sinking
holes in this rich formation, and as
they are drilling with all their speed
and power to strike the right spot to
find an oil gusher which will return
their money in a very short time, with
a large interest added here, where
the vast herds of sheep and cattle
now roam, there is a rich oil to be
found finally.
The government has also surveyed
severul great irrigation projects, to
water the bench lands of this coun
try, a few of them have been com
pleted and have proved to be a paying
propoui'ion. To those who care to
buy deeded land, now is the time, for
you ran tee all about there has been
a big change in the value of land

Pomona Grange
Discusses the
Corn Problem
A car of corn shipped into the
county means several hundred dollars
shipped out. This point was empha
sized in the report of the Corn com
mittee at the meeting of the Malheur
County Pomona Grange held Satur
day at the Boulevard Grange hall,
when all of the members were urged
to prepare for the corn growing con
test which will be held again the com
ing year. Nor is this simply a plea
to patronize home industries, it being
brought out that the sheepmen who
have tried the home produced corn
declare it better than that shipped in
from the old corn-'district. Particu
larly is this "the casa for the sheep
men who wish to have corn for feed
on the desert, they preferring to have
the corn ground or crushed with the
cob, a process which the freight rates
from the corn belt make impracti
cable. Moreover, in this dry climate
there is no danger of getting musty
corn, a fault found with so many ears
of corn received from the sections in
the rainbelt. There is, then, only one
thing against the home grown prod
uct, there is not enough of it, and that
can easily be remedied.
"Com! Corn! Corn!" that will be
the slogan of the grange until this
section has been thoroughly tried out
for that, the greatest of crops. One
hundred and twenty-one bushels of
corn to the acre is the record now.
What will it be when this section has
a thoroughly acclimated and devel
oped seed and the management lias
been carefully worked out by the prac
tical farmers of this section?
"BEATING THE TELEPHONE
TRUST" was the topic of A. P. Da
vis, of Union county, who explained in
some detail how the farmers and mer
chants, pf his county had solved Jthe.
telephone problem by uniting and
building a telephone line of their own.
The line is a succes.s in every way,
and while the Public Utilities Com
mission compels them to charge $12
a year they pay themselves back six,
and still have a sufficient amount left
to provide for a depreciation in the
plant.
The gopher committee reported that
an effort is being made to have a bill
passed at the present session of Ihe
legislature making it possible to or
ganize districts for the control of the
pest.
In the discussion of "THE LOCAL
EFFECTS OF THE NEW BANK
ING LAW," Mr. Cockrum explained
how the new banking law safeguards
the entire country, forming reserves
that will serve as reservoirs, abso
lutely preventing the recurrence of
panics and stringencies at times when
great amounts of money are requir
ed to move the crops, and yet the new
law offers no opportunity for inflation.
This, according to Mr. Cockrum, is
the tast piece of legislation for the
country passed in many years.
From an agricultural point of view
Mr. A. G. Kingman's address on "THE
LESSONS FROM THE CORN
GROWING CONTEST" proved to be
one of the finest mesages delivered to
this section in a long time. Mr. King
man skillfully analyzed the results,
both from an economic and an agri
cultural standpoint, and prophetically
looked into the future and showed
what a few years of successful corn
growing would mean to this section,
making for prosperity and stability.
A lot of stenographer spell like
those fast writers in the moving pic
tures. No offense! No offense!

LITTLE WORLIS DONE
One Hundred and Two Billa in House
and Forty-Nine Before Senate.
SALEM, Ore., Jan. 22. To the En
terprise: Just as in previous ses
sions, the first week of the twenty
eighth session passed with very little
accomplished aside from organisation.
In the senate, with Senator W. Lair
Thompson, of Lake county, as presid
ing officer, the legislative wheels ap
pear to be running smoothly, but In
the house, as a result of dissatisfac
tion over Speaker Ben Selling's com
mittee appointments and an antagon
istic spirit which arose against the
Multnomah county delegation, a well
defined mutiny against the house or
ganization developed. A few hothead
even talked of deposing the speaker,
nullifying his committee appointment
and substituting others . nominated
from the floor of the house.
While much of the first week of the
session was taken up with organisa
tion, Inauguration of the Governor and
useless oratory over clerkships, when
the legislature did get down to law
making a number of the important
questions to come before the session
appeared in the shape of bills. These
Included measures to amend the tax
laws, consolidate departments of the
state government for economy, to
make effective the prohibition amend
ment and revision of the game law.
The economy spirit manifested it
self in the senate "when that body
voted to eliminate appropriation for
the state accountancy board and the
state Immigration commission and by
authorizing the suspension of the de
cennial census, effecting an approxi
mate saving of $170,000.
At the close of the first week the
house had 102 bills before It and the
senate 49. All passed second reading.
While there Is no universal agree
ment on the prohibition question, It 1
certain that a measure will be passed

strictly In accordance with the pro

bills now are pending in the house
The Committee of One Hundred' bil

says, having nothing to cover the
point.
Senator Smith of Coos and Curry
Introduced a bill for a new tax law. It
changes the date for which assess
ments should be made from March 1
to January 1, and provides that the
first payment shall become due on No
