TIME FOR
SERIOUS
TIOX.
CONSIDER
TEX YEARS FROM NOW.
Again It would seem that Irrigation
for the Grande Ronde valley Is wat
ering with chances favorable for its
defeat
It is far from the Observer's wish
or desire to attempt dictation of any
policy whatever., but we sincerely be
lleve that this is the time for serious
consideration ot mm worn. -
Ject It means bo much to this valley
that those who believe in Irrigation
should not remain silent but urge up
on everyone their opinion., And the
tame 1s true of the men opposed to
Irrigation. Tbey should have no hesl
tency In stating their position, thus
permitting a fair and honest argu
ment among neighbors who are all
working to the same end.
' . There Is no occasion for anyone to
become excited or unduly alarmed,
for there 18 not a man on either rude
of th'.s question who does not want
to do lust the very best thing for the
Grande Ronde valley and her entire
people. ' '
We believe the sentiment for .Irriga
tion will eventually prevail. It may
not at this particular time. The
fact that !t has been defeated In the
cast causes the uncertainty of it at
t&e present' time. , That this is an
Weal year for the question of water
to be raise! no one will question for
the Grande Ronde valley , faced as
nearly a drouth this year as many of
the older citizens can remember.
All 6ver eastern Oregon people . are
crying for more water. Even lu Irri
gated districts plans are being made,
to conserve water to a greater ' ex
nt for this was a year that sur
prised everyone. With plenty fit
now In the mountains, with heavy
ralna In fall and winter it left a dry
season for those who tilled the soil
A man who is thoroughly posted
on Union county said to the Observer
a. few days ago: "In tea years the
fruit crop of Union county will bring
in more money than the wheat crop."
This man was speaking from a
broad view of the matter and he
knows conditions remarkably well
Who would have thought a few yeara
ago of ever taking the title of king
away from Grande Ronde valley
wheat? Who would have imagined
there would come a time when a few
fruit trees should have paved the way
for orchards extending mile after
mile through the valley?
That is what is happening. Today
you may travel from La Grande in al
most any direction and you observe
orchard after orchard. In the Sum
mervilie country. noted for years as
a great grain, producing section the
wheat fields are giving way to fruit
The same is true of the Sand Ridge
and other sections.
Doubtless In ten years this man'a
prediction will be , correct. And
mov Ha Hfnr time When Cnv
cherries command the - enormous
prices they.- do, when the Grande
Ronde .apple Is so closely rivaling
the apple of' Hood River, when the
berry crop swells the bank account
of the man who only owns a few
acres of ground it would seem that
any prediction relative to good fruit
is not out of place.
But to have a good fruit section
there must be continuous work and
careful attention. There is a com
munity Interest in producing fruit that
cannot be overlooked. Spraying and
pruning are essential, and because a
man owns a piece of land he has no
moral or legal rlcht to let that land
become foul thus endangering crops
of his neighbors. If the Grande
Ronde valley were properly organiz
ed regarding fruit laws at the pres
ent time the price of the crop would
be advanced at least one third.
The Portland Journal was prepar
ed to yell lustily and point the linger
of scorn to the , republican state
ticket naitfed by the assembly, claim
ing It was a product of the Oregon
Ion. But when the Oregonlan was de
feated In the assembly then the Jour
nal turns to the candidates and pleads
an outrage that such men should be
beaten, calling Bowerman a slate
maker and a boss. But the Journal
! unfed for standine first on one
foot and then on the other without
breaking time with the music.
-n ihe water supply in irrigating
rrtanti was soon exhausted. The splendid charity that exists In
The sooner we learn that water Is the heart of men was exemplified In
th life blood of all this part of the Portland when the republicans were
country the sooner we will begin to session. The little actress who had
bring the Grande Ronde valley into both legs cut off by a train was men-
Its full productiveness. After water tloned and a free will offering was
las been placed on this land, it is taken. Three hundred and twenty
nor oDinlon. that people will wonder two dollars were raised In the time
why they did not do it years ago.
But large undertakings and extra
ordinarily good things move slowly
and we must all console ourselves
with this thought relative to Irriga
tion in this Talley. . We know we have
reaulred to pass the hat. And every
man was glad ot the privilege of giv
in. The human race is not Belflsh, af
ter all, and especally is this true ot
that portion of it which lives in Ore-
on.
