IS CITY A SLACKER?
La Grande boasts of its war activ
ities and of going over the top among
the first towns in Oregon when any
important drive Is on, while as a mat
ter of fact in one of the most import
ant moves it is a slacker of the very
.worst kind. 1 speak of war gardens.
The city management now Is hoard
ing Its supply of water in the rcscrvoli
in the mountains where they have an
abundance, which added to by the late
heavy rains covering the city water
sheds mukes the supply more than
abundant, while the wnr gardens in
the city are perishing for want of
water. The 'potato crop, of which
there is a short crop this year owing
to the high guaranteed price of grains,
van be trebled by using this surplus
water now. What is true of potatoes
is truo of beans, corn, turnips, cnb-
uage nnd many other useful wnr food.
Salt Lnko City this year is supplying
water for lawns ns large as any in
La Grande and for wnr gardens with
wnter all that is wonted by the user
nt any time. Unlimited use Is allowed.
Three times as much is used as in La
Grande for $8 n ' vear while in La
Grnnde we pny $8 a month making
water cost in 1m Grande 32 times ns
much as in Snlt Lake. Portland nnd
most other towns in Oregon furnish
water for war gardens free.. Why
should La Grande be such a pro
nounced slacker in one of the most
vital war movements so urgently ad
vocated by the food administration?

Experienced loggers nro needed in
the Cuos liny section is the opinion of
leorge Cornwall, now In thnt section
making investigations of the situa
tion. As editor of The Timberman,
wilh many years experience along
those lines, the people there believe
'lis report is right. The government,
in its anxiety to get out logs in thnt
lection, has sent a lot of soldiers
there, who have no experience in
logging, consequently their work is
not efficient, nnd that is why Corn
wall is milking an appeal to experi
enced loggers to help out thnt situation.

there is possibly one-half or one-third
of a crop. At Cove about one-third

I 1-2 cents a pound. There is no dif
