ONI ARIO ARGUS PUBI,iSH KI) KVKKY THURSDAY Entered in the pottoftn at Ontario, Oregon, for transmission through the nails hh second -Ha? matter. M. E. BAIN. Editor and Proprietor A story in the Statesman of the 21st, relates how n man from LaG ramie was robbed by a land locator. No names are tatiOfied, which is certainly unfair to all honest locators. A prill fighter dropped dead in a ring last week and the pport is heing condemned as brutal. A death from football or any other sport is all right, because they are more frequent, probably. One gets so accustomed to the criticisms of the people who know more about running the government than congress, more about the city should be ruled than the mayor, more about how to conduct a lirst class hotel and regulato the bar than the hotel and so on through the whole game of life, that when a favor able comment is made it is so wholesome and different that we are all compelled to sit up and take notice. Mr. Zimmerman handed us a letter a few days ago from a lady living in the Willamette Valley which con tained the following: "I love to read the Ontario Argus, as it contains more news than any other paper of its size in the state of Oregon." Next time you meet with tba knockers club and they start the hammers, think of this woman and see if you cannot find some thing pleasing to say about the world and the things therein. The Weiser Signal says that Dr. Roseberry, of Ontario, at tended a dance there a feu nights ago. Dr. Ooldsberry had better do a little advertis ing down that way. At this season of the year there is always an effoat made to get the hunters and fisher men to take out licenses. In this eourty the sentiment is op posed to the license because all the license money is expended in tba western part of the state and the laws are not such as to better the game and fish condi tions here. Recently there was I case in Portland where a deputy got away with several hundred dollars. The people in Idaho feel about the same way, but they do occasionally get a few trout planted. Over there they do not prosecute for any thing except not hiking out a license, all other offenses are overlooked, which looks, on the face of it, like the license money is the whole thing now and some one wants it bad. All sportsmen believe in the protec tion of game, but are opposed to petty larceny grafts. The whole thing should betaken out of politics. - f- Now that school is out the girls and boys will have many weeks in which to develop with out the aid of a school teacher, some without even parental guidance, and the manner in which they will spend their time will be a good index of what they will do when they grow to womanhood and manhood's es tate and have to enter into real life.

There is another crowd who are ever busy at something use ful, they are happy and cheer fnl. developing with their years and preparing themselves for the battle of life. We noticed one small boy around with vegetables for sale Mid he has a string of customers who are always glad to patron ize him. He has every radish and onion spotlessly clean and everything about him is whole some, so that people want his stuff. He does his own cultiva ting, is never for want of some thing to occupy his mind, and will grow up to fill some useful station in life. Among the grownups Ontario haj another striking illustration of what energy can overcome. There is a man here, who has no legs, who is married and has several children. This man supports the family, is educat ing the children and developing a home. Of course we have several of the other class, who do not even support themselves but are de pendent on an indulgent father, mother or wife for everything they receive. The members of this latter class are the most miserable of human beings and are always rinding fault with their condition and that of ev erything else in the world. The boys and girls should tu.lv these two classes and de cide whether they expect to be useful citi.ens or merely drones in their journey through life. i A ipleuclid dart baa baan made hy I lif stud.
