SERVICE FROM JUNTO TO MAIN LINE IS A FARCE Shippers and Those Patron- izing the Road Meet with Many Inconveniences. The trains to Vale, Brognn and the Jontura section are atill being operated fur the convenience of one man and to the disadvantage of the other thousands who actually patron ice the road. Htockmeti snipping out from Jan iiirn. must unload at Vnle, because no connection is made there with the (). 8. L. and when the oars are brought to Ontario In the morning It generally means another unload and wait for several hours for the evening freight to arrive and haul ' them to Huntington, where they are again mauled out of the oars and mauled in agnln. The lorn to the ablppar Is neoessarily Tory heavy, but the railroad is also stung oena alonally, when m iinliinil guts out through the faulty loading pens and escapes or the shippers nonoluda It Is cheaper to drive the stock to Hunting ton as the P. L 8. Co and others did and aavn all the trouble and extra expense, H. it Is plain sailing when they reach the tracks of tin- () W. It. AN., those psople seeming to realize It pays to serve the public. If a private citizen would attempt to do business ty working against tbe interests of the people be was depend ent upon for business he would get nilv that trade which oirruutitanoes compelled to go to him and we pre sums it Is much the sama way with a railroad. A few years ago when the Ontario Advancement oompanj got ready to water 300 ft acre tracts which they platted an applies! Ion was made to rim the pipa which connected the pomp with tbe land to be Irrigated under the track of the Short Line near tba stocks ards hsre. 'I be official first demanded 1000. This was paid over at once and It waa a year before anything was done toward getting the pipe laid, meantime tbe people who had settled on the lend were crying for water, but the railroad officials did uot care, they did not surfer uoy of the loss or discomfort tbay forced od tbs eettlars. Kloally a f- . man want out there and put la tbe pipe. It might have taken two section crews a day. Iliesc men get 1 1. CO a day. so tba work cost lass than I'Jo Including tin- foreman.

LIBRARY BAH IS SOCIAL EVENT OF THE SEASON Knsily tbe moat attractive event of the year took place Thanksgiving night when the third annual library ball was given by tbe Ontario Worn ans' club at the Wilson hall. From time the ball waa opened with a grand march led by Mrs. H. H. Whitney, president of tbe olob, and 0. E. Km I aon, to the closing strains of the last nnmber on tbe program, tboae present declared tbe ball tbe prettiest one ever given by the olub. The ball, decorated in purple and gold, the excellent musio tinder tbe direction of Kay .Tonea, the pretty gowns of the ladles, added to tbe general happy effeot. This dance la looked forward to each year not only as Ontario's most prominent social function, but also as an opportunity to show appreciation of tbe eltorta made by the Womana' olub to assist In maintaining a public library.

A good Agricultural Pair is an ab solute necessity in the development of a new country. It Is indeapenaa ble In arousing interest in bettsr stock, better seed, better methods of agridulture rind horticulture. A good Pair affords a most convenient place for the exchange of good blooded stock and better seed. It furnishes to everyone an indisputable demon stration in exhibits, of the possibili ties of the soil and climate. During the last Pair 175 bucks alnnit 40 swine niul a lurge number of full blooded horses and cattle woro sold. Considerable of the Incentive to raise good stock was created at the Pair and thla utock waa aontterod over Kaatern Oregon to Improve the flocks and herds of the County. A new Im petus wos also given to corn and po tatoes growing that much reault In great and permanent good to the en tire county. Pair Mhnnld Pay Expenses. With the Indebtedness paid the Pair should pay expenses. In fo-t on an average of oue year with ano ther since It was started It has paid expenses, but the Indebtedness of 14, 000 aocumulutnu an Immense amount of Interest and the time luie arrived when till Indebtedueaa muat be paid The stockbolUer.1 and a few business iimwi who have been furnishing the credit for this Indebtedness have come to feel that they i-hould not longer carry the fluanclal responsibility of mi Institution Unit u a benefit to the entire country. In order to maintain a good Pair the only alternative seems to be to in. ike It strictly a county institution. Personal Support Hedged. Those who have donated their time and money to bring the Pair to Ita preacut grout success pledged their continued supMrt under county man iKeuumt.
