prosperity of tho community. Which
leadn hack to the prime question nf
successful agriculture, an shown by
C. J. Mcintosh In Ii Ih Interview Inst
week.
If tho success of agriculture In Har
ney valley depends on Irrigation, as
Mr. Mcintosh claims, then tho club
must have a man who has courage
enough to mukn a stand for Irriga
tion. Tho many differences of opin
ion on this Important subject must
bu united Into common Idea that will
work out for the greatent good of tho
greatest number.
Dcsplto thu expense to tho club, nnd
dllllcultles a stranger to conditions

Intorvlow In Tho Times-Herald two
weeks ago, an outside man In neces
sary If all concerned are to bu snt
Infled. In an Inland community nuch
un ours, whom water in an essential,
factions will nlwnyn arise over Itn uso.
In recognition nf these factions, re
turned service men and business men
who had not been drawn Into them,
Insisted on having a man from outside
for nocrotary of tho club, an It wnn
tbouglft that no local man could bo
found who would ho Impartial to all
Interests.
Harney county presonts problems!
greatly niirureni irom inn nriiiuary
community. For this renson, thn man
for thn position must have organising
ability In a marked degree. Kin
hlef asm)!, nn nald above, must be a
broad vision, to which must nlso bo
added tho quality of strict Impartial
ity. In this modern day of many
automobiles nnd tho common uso of

In general when thin romark wan
made, but it In nppllcnhlu and In in
lino with tho expression of ono or our
citizens earlier In tho week whllo iIIh-
russliifj tho Irrigation problem with
n representative of this paper. Wo
nave grown too much In tho ha hit
of talking In the future and not tak
ing hold of things right at hand. Wo
must ho more nggresslvu ami use our
bent efforts for Immedlato results
rather than u "watchful waiting" nt
tltudo In many things that tend to
tho advancement of our country.
Mr. Ilrnmwell wan hero as a ron-
I resentntlve of thu Htatu of Oregon
cuamuer or Commerce. Ho In mak
ing a tour of tho statu In thu Interest
of thu Chamber, gutting acquulntod
with local conditions and ascertaining1
In what way tho organization can
bu of assistance to each community.
Ho explained thu mission of thu stato
organization as being thu cluarlnc
bouse for largo community Interests
nnd to do thu things that thu small
club or community orgntitzatlona
are nimble to do.
Thu gentleman formerly resided ut
La Orundc, and thought ho was fam
iliar with with conditions in Fasturu
mid Central Oregon, but after making
a tour of thu lutermouiitnlii regions
on bin way beru from Portland In an
auto ho found bo wan not acquainted
witu thu resources ot tiiu suite, no
In surprised at thu stupendous devel
opment possibilities of tho region
nnd In more than ever convinced that
Oregon needs tho services of the or
ganization ho represents.
Irrigation In thu big thing, accord
ing to thin gentleman, und tho ntato
Chamber of Commerce In going to
give It first consideration. Ho ntated
it was llttlo lesH than a crime to son
so much splendid laud ns greets thu
eye in Harney valley needing only
a drink of water to make It produce
big yields. If wo ore to et any
where in this lino of endeavor wo
must get busy. Mr. Hramwell be
lieves the government can bo Inter
ested In thu development of nuch big
territory and proposes co-operation
In an actlvo campaign with that In
view,
Thu proposition of taking up tho
track of tho O.-W. It. & N. railroad
up the Deschutes and extending It
toward thin country from tho west In
looked upon with favor by the visitor
and bo proposes getting more Infor
mation nnd working on nuch a plun '
ns ho considers it feasible and onu
that will meet tho approval of tho
railroad people themselves.
Mr. Hramwell wan forcibly remind
ed of our poor mall facilities whllo
lu Hums by buying an Oregonlnn
which had Just arrived by mail ami
IliKlIng ho had rend It 2-t hours be
foro and hud been In our city for
more than 12 hmim or that time.
Thu matter or better mall service was
brought up in n general discussion nt
tho club, and Is one of tho tilings tho
state chamber will tako up an noon ua
Mr. Hramwell returns to Portland.
A note had boon received from a
mall clerk on the Crnno run tho othor
night stating it was contemplated
to reduce tho train service on that
line to three times a week, and sug
gested that the citizens of this city
get busy, A dolegatlon sent to Port
land on another mission earlier hi tho
wuek was admonished to investigate
and seo If there was any likelihood
of reducing tho service Should
there ho, a protest will go direct to
the postal department.
