OUR THANKS
The Argus wishes to extend
thnnks to the people of Ontario

to deserve ft continuaiu c
To the 217 new subscribers
we hopo you will notify us if
your papers do not come right.
Remember that all the names
up new to us and crrori are
liable to occur.
The Argus enjoys the lament
circulation of any poprr in Mal
heur county, but we believe
thore aro about two hundred
families not reading tho Argtn
that should be subscribers and
we hope to enroll them within
the next few months.
Remember that it is the aim
of the Argus to print all ISO
news of goneaal interest and we
will appreciate any ium -tunic
extended.
Mr. Daveron, our solicitor,
made a trip over the Mem h
country last week ami the good
people over there gave him a
royal welcome. The people
were unstinted in their praise
of tho manner they were enter
tained at the recent fair and
assured him they would always
bo found roudy to assist when
Ontario held a fair.
Tho Rural Spirit, of Portland,
got out a most excellent Christ
inas issue, properly illustrated.
Most of the stockmen of the
tute are represented in the ad
KvUting columns und it dem
onstrates that ("irrgon is gelling
into the running with good
stock. The people aro realizing
that it costs no more to ruise a
good animal than a poor one.
the profit is more ami the pleas
ure greater.
The rise and fall of the cook In
the kitchen is of far more impor
tance to the American public
than the rise and fall of Cook,
the explorer. Nevertheless Cook,
the explorer, has contributed
largely to the entertainment
of the people of the world
Whether ho reached tho North
l'ole is of no conseiiei,ee. lie
lias been sat upon by most
every one who ever heard
about the North l'ole und un
til he pulls something out of
his sleeve or his coat poeket, he
will he unable to further inter
est a euriouh world. No nuitUr
what the facts are about thedi
covery, it must be admitted
that Cook knows how to deal
with an intelligent world, lie
showed it how to climb Mt
McKinley without breaking hi
hack PI tiuiing his breec lies: of
course some said "he didn't",
but they m v r went to pick up
ins nine nine, lie Mia lie
fo'id the North pole. That
way be true; he left a brass tube
on tho spot to prOVt it. And m
Lis comings and goings it i
stated he it 1150,000 ahead.
Cook 18 alright J it will he man
a dsy before he will have an
imitator. Cook lenienihercd
what Illinium mid, and went
liiti ou better.

gOttiOg them lined up mi all the
hinds can he wall led under 0QI

of the people holding water
rights under prOMOt dltollfM
realize that all the hinds of this
section will be enhaneid in
Vllllle the I ringing ill of the
High Line ami also that their
lamls will be benefited by the
drainage system.

There has been considerable
discussion lately respecting the
relalive rights of stockholders in
the irrigating ilitehcs here u--iug
water ami those not using
it, ami for the information of
our readers we OjVJOtO fioni the
decision of the Supieme court of
Colorado in the Case of OOfflbfl
vs. Agrieultural Dltob Co as
follows:
"A priority to the um of water
for irrigation is a property right
and may be sold ami transferred
separately fiom the land in eon
neetion with which the right
ripened. Milt it must not be
inferred from this language thai
such priority may DO lOOUrod by
the more eqailUion of .-loi k in
an Irrigating company without
applying the water In a heiieli
cial use. An owner of iniga
tiou htm k cannot thus carry
prior righls to the use of walei
in his pocket for an imlelinile
or Unreasonable time and tin 1 1
by prevent others from ecquir
ing a Imiiu mir pi lorit) by ac
tual use."
