WHEN THE BOYS COME HOME
Plans are already being considered foi
euing for the soldier hoys when they return
from Europe. In the forefront of the propo

There is no longer a vast public domain for
the soldier to step Into and possess. The
fertile prairies of Minnesota, North and
South Dakota, Nebraska, Kansas and own
have Long been in private ownership, The
lands that are left are cither arid, swamp or
cut over lands for the reclamation and nj
which capital is required.
After the Civil war thousands of the
men Inured to life in the open with advec
tare as their daih food Bought its eontin
nance in settlement in the West in prefer

the face of the landscape which will greet
the returned veteran of the (iceman war.
Unlets the government takes adequate
steps to provide for the reclamation of the
arid, swamp or cut over lands there will be
no easy palhvvav for the veteran of the pies
cut wmr.
Hut the government is anticipating the
problem of the future veteran. Secretary of
the Interior, Franklin K. Lane, m a recent
report to Congress recommends the survey
of UM seventeen million acres of t ilia hie gov
eminent land, its classification and prepara
tion for development so that the men fight
ing today will have an opportunity. If thev
so chose, to start life anew when the wa;
closes ill the (frX'St West.
If the Secretary 's plans arc carried out
Oregon is bound to profit thcrebv, Several
million acres of the government land are h
this state. Not a small quantity, by aui
means, is here in Malheur county. The
Owyhee project akmeha n 25,000 to
30,000 acres. In. Jordan Vallei on Willow
Creek there are thousands of other acres
susceptible to irrigation and there is a vast
.ma on Dead 0 j Plat capable of almost un
limited production. In all there must he
he almost 200,000 acres of land in Malheur
county that might well he considered in the
government 's plans.
Some id' these projects, the OWJ hec for
Unplc, have been surveyed and examined
h both state . Hid national engineers. Their
possibilities arc known, hut some of the
others an not so fortunate. Now is the time
when th people of tin county, in ail eeetioiis
should consider plans for the proper pivsi n
tat t the County's claims for develop
meiit. Those who have I ited for one pro
jeet or another should get I tin i to
that the vai'ious districts are represented in
a general scheme I'1"- advancement. This

Representative Binnott In i recent
speech called the attention ,,f the House of
Representatives to the vast productivity of
Malheur county lauds. He gave ;i- um in
lliee the ease of C. . M .ill. 1 1 who had
grown as high as !Ki bushels of wheat on one

Owyhee project al 19 1,500,000 bushels oi
wheat could he rais. I in one year. Such ar
guinents are hound U) have the desired effect
if properly followed up. The comunitic
Malheur county should mute to forward this
movement and be prepared, when the tunc is
ripe, to properlv pre ,nt tin claim- of this
section for recognition, a condition long pas)
due.
OIVE THE CHILDREN A OOOD TIME

no section ol tin-state have the hoys and

One of the best rewards that the lo -
oi competitive sports; races ot all kinds to
furnish fun for the hoys and girls and onti i
tainment for their parents. Such a program
is a good thing all aruond. It serves to bring
out the best talent iu the competitors and
the same time sufficient inducement i
ed to make the effort well worth while. dt
only has the management of the Pair furnish
prizes hut the business men and women of
Ontario have added special awards for win
ners.
Beside the program of athletic c i
there is of course wide competition open
the ho s and girls iii all lines of educational
endeavor.
Education is a broad wo.rd when used
in this section. Here it includes skill .
knowledge nt agriculture to a high degr
for Malheur county is the home of the (ham
lion gardeners of the state, and it lias nuni
icrcd. too, girl winners of staae honor. a-
well as lo b.
By setting aside one day for the I
and girls, who in years to conic will he tin
hack I ioi ie of the Pair and in all id her worth-
movements in this county the directors art
doings good work. Educational day should
he an annual event, and we feel sure that tin
mothers and fathers of Malheur county wh"
have enjoyed the co-operation of their BOlH
and daughters during the summer will t
advantage of the opportunity to bring them
to the Pair on educational, and every othl '
day this fall.
THE AWAKENING OF THE HUN
According to press dispatches emanat
illfn from Holland and Switzerland, the peo
ple of Germany are at last awakening to the
fact that thev arc a defeated nation. The re
cognition of this fact la not complete, hut i
is coming.
Perhaps the most significant state
ments are those which ecru the preset le
nt American troops in the Western hatth
line. I he .Junkers are now paving the nric
of their deception. Until the great defeat on
the Manic thev told the people thru their
controlled press that there were hut a ft
thousand Americans in kluiopc and the
were untrained fighters. Now the people
know differently Thev must he eel I
that there is a full million Americans li it 1 1 1 1 ,
the lliudeuhiirg line, and that fchej can hit
hard they must also admit. Even the imvv
inspired Yorvvcarts warns the (ieiinau j
pie that they must be prepared to admit t
the war is not v et won, and that it can he !
That is a great admission from even the S.
i lallst mouthpiece.
Reports from many sources indicate
that the morale of the Herman people is low.
The lower it is the better. When it reaches
the bottom, the German army will be a de
feated organization. One of the means
which the Junkers are usitig to brace th
wills of the people is by reprinting "hate
stories and "hate speeches which an
limited and spoken here in America and oth
er allied countries. The men who inaki
tlnse speeches and the papers that prut
tin ni Have no utca tlial tin arc playing the
Junkers' game hut that is the result. When
the militarists of Germany uet poser nniiui if
a pellicula ryily choice piece of "hateful lan
guage" tin l print it and sav :

expect ffom people who sav sllcll tiling
