Saturday, January 8, 1615. ftajfe FW MALHEUR ENTERPRISE! jUalfjeur County Official Paper ,T. E. Roberts, PUBLISHED EVERY SATURDAY AT VALE, OREG. Entered as second class mail Vale, Malheur County, Oregon. Subscription price GOOD. CROPS There is every prospect at the present time for an other bountiful crop year for Malheur county in 1916. The prdcipitatiort has-been bountiful, arid the water has soaked into the ground in quantities that assure the dry farmer a good yield, while storage reservoirs are looking forward !to an avalanche of flood waters when the snow melts in' the spring. There to the present time, and as the general break-up is due the last of this month, ho extensive foul weather is antici pated. EARLY ANNOUNCEMENTS The candidate wjio announces his intentions early is the man. who is not. afraid The fellow who waits till the very last possible moment for fear the people will criticise him if they, learn just who and what he is, is not' the right kind of material, even though he may sometimes win on such tactics. A candi date was recently criticised by a newspaper that stands for- another candidate, because the geritleriian announced his candidacy five months in advance of the primaries. The Enterprise has always considered it one of the best recommendations a candidate could have, that he is not afraid to come out in the open atfd let .tle voters take an invoice of his ability, fitness and capacity. We hope a law will be passed some day, requiring candidates to announce not less tnan six montns in advance oi me primaries, anu put the dark-horse and pussy-foot candidates out of com mission. The honest candidate, who is not afraid to take the people into his confidence, is the. one who deserves the preference. A PASSIVE CANDIDATE Loriner V. Stewart announces himself a "passive" candidate to Succeed himself district. ' . So far as .the needs of Malheur county were concern ed, Mr. Stewart was quite passive as a legislator, and as he states, he' is so busy with the affairs of his recently ac quired stock ranch, he would most probably remain pas sive during ancther term, toward all matters save those immediately surrounding him and with which he might get m touch without active eltort. There is not much in the way of financial inducement in the office, but it is hoped that some active man may go after the place, some active, ana inclination to give us an active campaign anu oe an active senator when elected. Malheur county needs such a man. THE IRRIGATION DISTRICT . The article in this issue in regard to the benefits de rived by the formation of an -irrigation district, should be read carefully by everyone interested in the develop ment of this country. A movement looking to the form ation of such a district for the purpose of developing the Warm Springs Reservoir has been under discussion for some time, and if the" Warm Springs project is ever ac complished it'. will increase the value of every foot of land in this section. Study it carefully. It means millions of dollars to this section. A. A. ROBERTS A. A. Roberts, of Juntura, announces his candidacy for thq Rupublican nomination for assessor of Malheur for the Republican nomination for assessor of Malheur prise.

NOT ON THE The Enterprise has received the announcement of one of the many candidates for Public Utilities Commission er, with the request that it be published as a matter of news. This gentleman is asking to be elected to an office that pays a very considerable salary, and asks the news papers to give him the necessary publicity free of charge If he will work for the neonlo wi' i a salnrv. we will foo' inclined to do his advertisintr after the job on account of his advertising or irefc none. ly not boost a man into a fat salaried job who tries to bilk tne space it takoB to publish his announcement.

These materials differ in some essentials to the extent that users of them in practice should be able to dis tinguish them, says Professor H. V. Tartar, who has carried out tho most oxhaustivo research work with arse nates of lead so far reported in this country. Only by knowing something of their identity and properties can tho user be able under difficult and special conditions to avoid disastrous results. Some of the differences arc pointed out as follows: Tho acid salt is fluffy, somewhat like wheat flour, and is usually without chrystals, al though under certain conditions chrys tals appear. Tho particles aro of low er specific gravity and settle from tho water or other liquid of tho spray more quickly than basic forms. The basic form is granular in appearance and has not been observed to chrys talllzo. Although the slzo of the sep arate particles of both is practically tho same, the basic form particles have a tendency to collect into groups, thus becoming heavier and settling more rapidly. 0. A.

QUALIFICATIONS OK VOTERS 7. Any citizen of tho United States of the ago of 21 years nnd upward who shall havo resided in tho state during tho six months preceding an elec tion, is entitled to register nnd voto at such election. Also any elector who may complete his residenco during the period in which tho registers are closed or who may attain the ago of 21 years, may register during n period of SO days next preceding tho closing of the registration for tho election at which ho desires to vote, but the Clerkof Registrar shall endorse upon the registration card in rod ink these words: (Month) (Day) 8. Foroign born porsons: All nueii parents, no mailer at wnnt ago inuy cuinu tu tins cuumry, lire uncus unless the naturalization laws of tho United States have been complied with, either by themselves nfter they become 21 years of age, or by their parents before they becamo 21 years or age. 9. Tho stato constitutional amendment passed by the people at the last election requires that all aliens must havo become fully naturalized before uoing nllowcd to voto in this state, ineretore, those persons wno nave oniy heir "Declaration of Intention" (commonly known as First Papers) cannot legally register for election in this state. This lnw requires that "Final Citizenship Papers" (commonly known as Second Papers) bo exhibited to the registration officer before ho can register them. 10. Some confusion may result unless registering officers aro careful in this' respect, as in many of tho old forms of naturalization papers the First Papers or "Declarations," aro very similar to the second or "Final Papers," therefore should bo carefully examined to sco that they read that the alien "is admitted n citizen of the United States." Under the former laws of Oregon, Second Papers wore not required; Declaration of Intention or First Papers, being sufficient; former registra tions in this county do not show which were exhibited, hence tho necessity of euro on tho part of tho registrars in this particular. The following will givo you tho requirements, also the status of the families of aliens: 1. Naturalized citizens must exhibit "Final" Citizenship papers. "Pro vided, however, that all persons heretofore registered in said county as fully naturalized citizens shall not bo required to exhibit their citizenship papers when registering under this Act." 2. If the father of an alien become naturalized before ho (tho child) becamo of ago, hu is an naturalized citizen, but must exhibit the father's papers or a copy of tho sumo from the court issuing them. 3. A foreign woman, married to a citizen of the -United States, is a citizen. 4. An American woman, who mnrries a foreigner, takes tho nationali ty of her husband, and must exhibit his papers if he becomes a Naturalized Cirirvn; at tho termination of the marital relation, if she continues to reside A SANITARY SHOP To Our Friends and Patrons: We desire to announce that the Parke Barber Shop has recently been equipped with the very latest and most up to date sanitary furnishings. We have recently purchased'and plac ed in use in the shop the Sanitary Sterilizer,. whereby all the tools in use in the shop are kept at all times free from any disease that might other wise be transmitted by the razors, shears, combs, brushes, or other tools or equipments. In tho shops of the larger cities the Sanitary Sterilizer ha3 been found ne cessary to protect patrons from the possibility of Barber's Itch and other diseases of the skin, which are easily transmitted by the razor. Wo believe Vale's citizens are just as much entit led to this protection as the people of the large cities, and have installed the equipment, and we will continue to add to our shop the latest and the best. You are invited to call and examine tho Sanitary Sterilizer. We want your approval. Yours to please, THE PARKE BARBER SHOP, Vale, Ore.

FARM WELLS FAULTY Too often it happens that the farm water source is mis-named. It is not a deep well; it is in reality nothing more nor less than a deep puddle, open to all kinds of contamination, many of them from unsuspected sources. In dozens of instances we find typhoid fever, diarrhea, and many other diseases being scattered through out a community on account of con tamination. Typhoid fever alone takes a toll of approximately 40,000 human beings every year in the United States. This means that there are approximately -100,000 cases of this disease in our country every year, Most of these cases are the direct re sult of polluted water, water which is supposed to be pure but which is nevertheless the carrier of death. The question of water supplies on farms, therefore, .will be dealt with during the course of a lecture by Professor Beckwith during tho O. A. C. Short Course, Jan. 10 to Feb. 4. The proper methods of constructing and safe guarding a well will be presented, as well as what to do with a spring. The question of a pure source of water supply on the farm is one which is second to none, inasmuch as the con dition of the water supply is a sure indication as to what may be expect ed to bo the condition of health of those partaking of it. der. This substantial form of praise was supplemented by more formal cx- pressions of approval forwarded by the army offlcicrs to J. O. Holt, man ager of the cannery. A full carload of vegetables will be made up, using some vegetables, notably cabbage, still in the field. Mr. Holt is said to be encouraged to believe that a perma nent market for these vegetables can be had in the new field, which extends as far as the Philippine Islnnds.

The war in Europe isetween Ger many and Austria and Turkey and Bulgaria on one side and England and France and Italy and Serbia and Bel gium on the other, except that there aint any Belgians any more. There has been millions and millions and millions of people killed and nobody dont know yet what they aro fight ing about. I ast Uncle Piko what it was all about and he said, "a wom an," and when I ast what woman, he said for me to go way and not bother him. War is where you kill men and dont get hung for it, but Ma says I didnt raise my boy tobe a soldier. They fight by digging trenches and shooting shells up so they will fall on the enemy and sometimes with poiso nous gass. One time me and Beany Smith had a fight over a game of mar bles an I bit him on the chin an we scratcht each other up something of ful. When I wen home Ma said this is-tumble just wait till your father comes home. When Pa came in he said which whipt, an I said I did, an he said thats the way I used to do it, and then Ma didnt say anything but just dressed my wounds.

Onct a rooster and a duck was in the barn yard 'an the duck wanted to get out side so it stooped down and crawled under the fence. The rooster said my dear fellow do you havo to lie down in the dirt when you want to get outside, watch me, an the rooster flew upon the barn yard gate and flapped his wings and erode an just as he went to fly down on the other side a hawk swooped down and caught him. The duck watched the hawk fly away with the rooster an then squatted down, a little lower and crawled under the fence again an so it is with those who brag pride comes before a fall.
