He will through the Grande Itoiiili and I t.-.tc-r Vv&ilav.-a vouaty wbre there is in abundance of water for Irrigation and in many, places all available is under the ditch. With irrigation thi3 Grande Ronde valley becomes the spot of all spots. Here the altitude is such that alfalfa will make one more crop than it will in almost any other part of the north west. Everything can be raised here from the Oregon peach to the south ern watermelon. All that is needed is water In the dry season. Shall we have It? It Is up to the land owners.

Please sign your articles and save 'Isappolntme&u WITH OR WITHOUT WATER Th'e Grande Ronde valley is up against the case hardened fact of Irri gation. No longer can it .be post poned until some future and during the Interim of copious rain will drive all Irrigation talk into silence. The accept or reject the measure, as a whole and If rejection occurs the peo ple of this beautiful valley admit to all the world they are not willing to do their part toward enhancW, values and making it the greatest place In the northwest. A kind , provident ha done much for this. valley, but It a to bi expected that the people will do some thing. Providence cannot d- every thing,' for the Lord helps those who help themselves. He ha3 placed a splendid bo!1 here for cultivation and has given a rainfall that will usually cause good crop production, hut be haa done more, tn these' mountains are natural basins suitable for the conservation of surplus water, and it la the duty of man to take advantage of these natural conditions, especial ly when the scheme Is so easy and feasibe. Without irrigation this valley will go along as usual. People will be come wealthy for the cr6ps each year take care of that feature.

There are many modern methods of entertain ment, but really it Is hard to beat a horBe race for pleasing all of the peo ple. There is something about rac ing that will never die. The town of Wallowa is contem plating a race meet and a gun club shoot which will be a feature of fall festivities for Wallowa county. En forni win VinvB the county fair and there will be horse racing and a gen eral good time there. Over at Flora a fair will be held in September and arrangements have been made for racing. Then why not have ' race meet In La Grande? It Is not necessary to try to attract eastern horses, or even harness hors es from off the big circuit, for there are plenty of good horses from Walla Walla to Boise which would be enter ed if the purses were sufficient to jus tify It. : A good old fashioned race meet would aid In enthusing this commun ity fts few thlng3' could. It would cause everyone to arrange for a few days off to attend the mces and Wal lowa county would furnish many peo ple. - .' '.
