Is it not strange thai in almost every stii.ill town or citj mil a eomparativeb fevi ritiriis take ;i peal pride in their home town I During the paal few weeks ;i numher ol citizens have approached the writer with: ' Why (Imi't von go after THEM, to clean up the city. The alleys and vacant Iota are n Fright. It's a disgraee the wai THEY lei i he town go," Rut the writer does nt eoneeive it hi liiiiin t regulate the city, or to tell the public what must be done. Nor doen the writer intend that the Argun shall I iw ;i common scold.

W THE MALHEUR LAKE CONTROVERSY Among the misleading Information thai has come into this section concerning the activities of the legislature, no item lias been fraught with mure injustice than that li eminated concerning the opponents of the licFarland bill, which would have deeded Malheur lake to the federal Government. L tt.rs written hy Stat. Biologist, Pin ley, would have the people of the state be lieve tliat in opposing tins measure Bcnatoi Hurley and Representative Gallagher were aetuated by Improper motives, which is a tually i'alsc. As a matter of fact it WM the stubborn fight which these men put up And ill the meantime the people d' liar ney county, those who want to see the coun try develop and throw dT the shackles that have retarded development can thank Re presentative Gallagher and Senator Hurley for the aide fight they made to protect the histriet they represent from the attacks of misguided ncorfsts. PARENT TEACHERS' COLUMN Mr. Finley's office to the effect that an ef fort was to he made to drain the lake. This was not true. The farts are that ( '. R. MeConnell and hundreds id' Harney county eili.ens are merely planning 1 dam Silvies and Silver creek for purpOM of storing water with which to irrigate thousands of fertile Harney county acres. The draining id' the lake was not contemplated. When this was made char the leglsla ture passed the amended hill providing fol preservation of the nesting portion ..I th. lake which was never in danger but elimi Dating that portion which would have ceded the lake to the Federal Government As the Argus now understands the measure the promoters of irrigat loii 111 liar ney county may proceed to dam Silvies creek ami Silver creek which flow int.. tin lake and thus make possihle the irrigation of Harney county. That is a coiisiinuu.i Roll to he desired. Retter have homes fol thousands of people in Harney eoiintv than how to the sentimentality of a state of of ficials who wants to create a harren WMte for the habitation of ducks and geeae. Rut the ducks and geese will he pre served, too, under the amended hill. Til seepage water from the Irrigated lands, tip waste water limn the ditches and canals, the waters of Donne? and other creeks t hat flow int.. the lake from the South will i tillUC to provide sufficient moisture for the feed ing and nesting places for the blue Heron, the ducks and geese and other fowl over which Professor Finley has shed so many liars. wish that ih. residents who own these lot" or have business houses located on the alle s would see to it that the condition Were in: proved. In fact If every eitisen would take car of his or her vacant lot. would -. that II i refuse is thrown in the alley back of hi itore, and would inform the City Health committee of the trangressor in his or ber neighborhood, then there would he no need of all this complaint. The Argus knows thai thcCit Council i pecking light on how to solve this problem The ffltj Council knows of the conditions ihat exist, but the Couneilraeii and the M.n or can not perforin this work thcitl elves, Tl el urn l have funds with which to work. They must secure a competent man to ei force sanitary regulations' and having done all this they must still he given the active sllppnl't of tile .It i.elisllip. - a matter of fact what Ontario needs iii this reaped is more civic pride. And Ontario is not the only town in this section that needs an innociilat ion of that bene fici.it him. If those who want to have Ontario ;' leaner, a lieallliier anil a lietter cits in which to live, will set a good example bj keeping their homes clean, their allcj fre from refuse, and will make complaint t" the authorities when the see neighbor t ranagreseuig, and will constantly in and out of season, preach coimuiUlit pride, then, and onl then will Ontario reach the desired standard.
