Imbler, Oregon, June 18, Editor of
the La Orande Observer. Through the
columns ot your paper I wish to re
ply to an article In the June 12 Issue.
headed How the Desert Blooms Fol
lowing Is the clause which I wish to
take issue with you, on, towlt: There
Is no use to derty the well established
truth that all land in the Inland Em
pire needs water. Valleys like the
Grande Rondo can get along without
it, but if the Grande Rondo valley had
water IU crop yield would be Increas
ed three fold.
No, Mr. editor I have lived and
farmed In an Irrigated country about
forty-five years and I challenge you
to Bhow me an Irrigated country the
size of the Grande Ronde valley that
will produce as much grain or fruit
per acre as this valley does and es
pecially the Sand Ridge, which I
doubt very much would produce as
much with water as It Is doing now.
There may be a few cases wherein
water would be beneficial, but not on
the Sand Ridge ns we are already pro
ducing more per acre one year with
another than Idaho or Utah does with
Irrigation. I
Yours respectfully. I

J. P. Larson, writing from Imbler,
takes Issue with the Observer's recent
remark that Irrigation would multlnlv
the productiveness of the Grande
Konile valley. Mr. Larsen savs. In a
letter published elsewhere, that Im
bler needs no Irrigation. We hope
he Is right, and he probably Is, but he
must remember that the valley Is not
all Imbler. If he should cast his op
tics toward the barren stretch where
flood water have recently been turned
to namely the vast district between
Cove and La Grande he would find
that water Is very essential. It Is a
credit mark to Imbler If she needs no
Irrigation, but there Is room for argu
ment relative to the statement thnt
"water would do the sand ridge no
good."

Joseph Connrilmun Assaulted
( Enterprise Record-Chleftaln.)
Councilman L. E. Cavineas was at.,
tacked and severely beaten at Joseph
by "Dick" Martin, city marshal of
Joseph, last Tuesday. Martin, It la
said, had an old grudge against Cavi-
ni'ss. The occasion for the assault
was a trlval matter concerning Mr.
Cnviness' operation of his automobile.
Martin went before Recorder Aug.
While, of Joseph, pleaded guilty and
was fined $10. In the evening fol
lowing the attack Martin's resignation
as city marshal was accepted by the
council in adjourned session. Earlier
In the day Martin surrendered his
star and keys to Mayor F. F. Mc
Cully. Ex-marshal L. A. liedingfleld
has been mpoln'.ed marshal.
Later reports from Joseph Indicate
that 4 or 5 ribs were broken by Mar
tin. Oaviness was one of the mem
bers of a former council which in
February of this year removed Martin
from office for alleged diai xi r.esy to
a then councilman. After the last
city election, Mayor McCulIy reap
pointed Martin.
