NOT GUILTY!
Brothff Uain, of the Ontario
Argup, htl misconstrued the
stand the Express took on the
County Fair question, when he
Htales in his recent issue that
"the Jordan Valley Expre's sup
ported the County Fair meas
ure." We tried to take a neutral
Aland on that question and did
not advocate either the accept
ance or rejection of the proposi
tion, aiming to put the question
fairly hefore the people and not
try to prejudice them one way
or another. We published the
statement made by the Ontario
people as a communication, the
same as we would have done for
the opponents of the measure,
had one been presented, for we
believe all sides have a right to
be heard on any and all ques
tions. The vote on the question of
the tax levy of one mill for the
county taking over the Malheur
County Agricultural association
holdings at Ontario was quite a
surprise to all, even to Ontario,
mi. I showed that the residents
in the country were opposed to
the mcaturo. Had the country
people got out and voted there
would have been a different re
sult and the Ontario boosters
Would have the White Elephant
still on their hands. Ah it is
the people of the comity will
have to see to it that the county
fair is conducted so as to rupre
flout the entire countv and not
a few, that reside near Ontario.
The general opinion prevails
here that this end of the county
has been ignored by the Ontario
fair management and has never
had a representation on the
hoard of directors or treated as
if Jordan Valley was on the map
us part of Malheur county, hut
that the south end of the county
was tit only to draw revenue
from and that the same treat
ment I in- been given to Jordan
Valley and the southern part of
this county by the county man
agement in all county affairs,
and we are looked noon as a
territory "for revenue only" and
II lot Of buhjeets only worth
noticing "just before election"
in order to get votes.
The tune lias arrived when a
declaration of independence
should he issued and the terri
tory embraced in the southern
part of the COUnty be deelnred
"lice iiinl independent" territory
and a county Orgitnisodi
Then i- .-iillicient assessable
property in this territory to
justity a county organisation
and the rapid development here
will soon bung the assessed
valuation up to the amount it
now is for the entire county.
We have more assessable pro
perty in the southern part of
this county now than the
assessment roll for all of Mal
heur county showed prior to the
year HUH) ami taxes were lower
then than they are now und so
it would be if the county was
li hied amt a counts created id
the southern part.
The older und richer u county
becomes the greater the number
of "tux eaters" it has, the more
voracious their appetite and the
more careless and lavish, it
seems, they become in the ex
penditure ol the county money.
The grafter's idea of "the county
pays the bill" seems to gain en
tire und full possession of the
mind of some of the ollicers
elected as the public servant of
the people.
But a small per cent of the
voters in the southern paitot
the county have, heretofore,
taken the trouble to go to the
polls and vote, realizing that
we were in the minority and
that the "powers that be" would
see to it that the southern part
of tut county would be properly
ignored when it came to the dis
tribution of beneffts. Jordan
Valley Express.
We see where the Express
is right. It is an outrage to
compel the people in the south
ern part of the county to con
tribute taxes to support the
northern end. In regurd to the
directors of the Fair, heretofore
most of the directors were stock
holders and we do not believe
that any of the Jordan Valley
citizens contributed anything to
start the fair, but now it is
different and the southern part
of the county should have rep
resentation on the board, in
fact we do not believe there
would be any objection to thern
having all the directors. Of
course it might not be convenient
to meet for the transaction of
business, but they would be
recognized and hnve a chance
to give their time to the upbuild
ing of the county. In regard
to a division of the county, we
believe the people affected are
the ones to decide such proposi
tions. When the necessary
( .'-titii.il is circulated there will
ie no light made on it from this
section.

hope will not prove serious.
Our high school enrollment

tending. The most pleasing
feature of the last six weeks, the
third school period, was the
marked increase in punctuality.
During that period the per cent
of the high school attendance
was 98 8-10. The number of
tardy marks dropped from 1)7 to
f, while 20 a ho failed in the
second period examination,
brought up their grades with
good margins, items which
should interest every patron of
the school.

SHE GAVE UP
JILL HOPE
Physicians Failed To Help Mrs.
Green, But She Finally Found
Relief In Cardui.
Mpetzp, Va. IWrs. ,T. C. Green of this
place, says: "I suffered with womanly
troubles so that I could hardly alt up.
Two of the beat dortors In our town
treated me, and I tried different medi
cines, until I gave up all hope of ever
getting well.
One day, I decided to try some Car
dui. It did so much for me that I
ordered some more, and It cured me!
Today, I feel as well as I ever did In
my life.
The pains and the trouble are all
gone. I feel like another person tn
every wav. I wish every sufferer could
know what Cardui will do for sick
women."
A few doses of Cardut at the right
time, will save many a big doctor bill,
by preventing serious sickness.
It tones up the nervous system, and
helps make pale cheeks fresh and rosy.
Thousands of weak women have been
restored to health and happiness by
using Cardui. Suppose you try It.
It may be Just the medicine you need.
