Tile one important Mtlijert before the
rily council and tie- people of Mcdford
is I lie water problem, I lie bringing into
Hit' city of an adequate supply of pure
mountain water. The question should
ii ot be allowed to take a back seat,
mid the city officials should not allow
themselves to get sidetracked into qiiar
relK over mattern of minor importance.
The council men should work together
in all things for the good of tin city
ami nothing means its welfare ho
hi (i Ii as a water system.
Representative Walter Moore of Ba
ker City, who was here last week, stat
fl thai his city had spent l'io,ini) for
a water system ami found it the best fruit is arriving verv unsatisfactorily as
investment ever made. It had paid
from the start, though linker City was
no larger than Mcdford at the t ime
construct ion began.
Tim story of the water question li.
Hakcr City is the story of every city
that has wuccessfully Holvcd the prob
lem. The growth of Mcdford, its fu
1 ur welfare and prosperity are
wrapped up in this question, ami when
it is satisfactorily Mettled, no matter
to condition. Oregon Ncwtowns arc, for
the most part, even when Hound, dis
tinctly inferior in quality and general
appearance to those of previous vcars.
I whilst in addition we regret to say
many parcels arc arriving in a very
wasty condition and have the appear
ance of having been affected by frost
somewhere en route before shipment.
Really good Oregon four-tier fruit is
sidling at from 13 to 14 shillings per
"CLEAN-UP DAY."
Kditor Tj ibunc:
If Mayor Ifcddy .-houid ilig-ir.ti
soioe suitable day in tin- future w
" clean up day,' ' I believe hi act i tii
would meet with t he approval of all
who believe in a dearly and well kept
city. The name indicnlo the dh ject
of the day. Make it a public holiday.
I.et everybody get out and clean up.
Tick up the litter and refuse in the
back yards and alleys; clean the streets;
make the city presentable. I think
there is nothing which makes a city
noire attractive to the stranger than
a mat and cleanly appearance. We
who live here should take sufficient
pride in our surroundings to do this
work of our own accord, but there are
probably sonic who are cart-less in this
respect, and it would give them encour
agement if there was a public move
ment along these lines.
While we are at it, what is the mat
ter with putting out more shade trees
along the streets. Mcdford is deficient
in this respect. Kvery street and every
block should have its row of shade
trees. It is a good plan to get them
started now.
Yours for progress,

To the Kditor:
In taking so decided a stand in ad
vocating the necessity of a plentiful
and constant supply of pure water you
are a public benefactor, and I merely
want to put myself on record as being
in sympathy with you. Water is a
necessity of life, ami pure water is es
sential to long life. The stage of ad
vancement of any community these days
is readily known by the amount of pure
water it uses daily, and if we apply
thU test to Mcdford it is emphatically
in t he dark ages. No town can call
itself civilized where less than flu gal
lons of pure water is used daily by
even' inhabitant, and I suspect t hat
much less than this quantity is used in
this town, and as to the quality, well,
it is gnally to our peace of mind that
we an- ignorant of the actual fact in
t he case.
We all know that the fluit fmin iicnr
creek is absolutely unfit for personal
use. but tin- amount of solid water it
contains may probably make it equally
good for both irrigation and fertilizing.
Our well water must be an unspeak-
How About It, Judge Dunn?
Winner, Or., I-'eb. o.
To the Kditor:
I notice by the published list of elec
tion officials for l!Mi that the elec
tion board in Winn r precinct is made
up of Republicans again this year.
Heretofore we have entered protest and
the county court has made correction
which made the board nearly represen
tative of the two part its. in MM Hi the
county court claimed that it didu 't
know the political affiliations of the
persons chosen ou the election board
in this precinct. Of course, T have the
most implicit confidence in the integ
rity and honor of the honorable county
judge, and know there nitifct be some
good reason why five Republicans and
one Democrat are chosen to compose
the election board in a precinct which
is two to one Democratic. I say there
certainly must be a good and wise rea
son for such action, because this time
it cannot be a mistake, for the honor
able county judge certainly knows that
''Doc" Syren us Vronmn, who has at
tended Republican conventions in .lack
son county for the past -o years; Kd
Olson, his son-in-law: Charles Owens,
candidate at the last primary election
for nomination as sheriff on the Repub
lican ticket: Hiram Moore and George
Iteers, almost equally famous partisans,
are good and true time-tried and fire-
tested Republicans.
Democrats in this precinct object to.
this manlier of making up election;
boa nl espec'uHly in precincts where j
tin re is a heavy Democratic majority, j
as is the case in Winier precinct. It
would make mighty interesting reading;
if the editor could ascertain and pub
lish whv these things are thus.
