Thcro Is npnprently a sorlouB ef fort being mado to get tbo warring factors together In Harney county And what Is more to the point It Is npparent that success has at last crowned the offort nnd that sub Htantlal dovelopmont Is going to re suit. No doubt thcro nro still somo who will decry tbo offort of the men who propone to put Irrigation within tbo reach of thousands of Harnoy'H fer tile ncres. Tboso will view with sus picion nny movement that brings tbo Paclflo I.lvo Stock- company nnd tbo William Hanley company together Tbo doubting Thomases will want to ho nhnwn. They will seek nn ul terior motive. May bo thoro arc many well founded reasons for the- taking of nuch un attitude. Tbo Argus Is not sufficiently conversant with tbo per sonalities Involved to say whether or not such nn attitude Is Justified. However, It would seem tbo pnrt of wisdom to forgot nnythlng Hint may hnvo happened In the pnst and credit tbo P. 8. I., nnd Hill llnnloy with tbo laudnblo doslro to further tbo movement to dovelop Hnrney county, and at the samo tlmo to do velop their own holdings. This Is a natural position to tnko. Whllo Metiers, llnnloy nnd tbo P. 8. Ii. aro In tbo notion of working out tho Harney Irrigation problem tbo others should tnko advantage of tho sltuntlou and movo with thorn. Thoro Is ovldcnco onougb to show Hint nothing can bo gained fighting them. Ilotb companies hnvo largo holding ho situated that thro Is no possibility that any largo scheme of which tboy do not npprovo can sue coed and thoroforo It will bo tho part of wisdom to Join In tho program for tho dovelopmont of tho vnlloy which tliCHO in on endorse Tho dovelopmont of Hnrnoy vnl loy nnd tbo reclamation of a largo body of Its hind will undoubtedly bo of great Interest to tho peoplo of Mnlhour county. This Interest Is duo not. from curiosity nlono, but from tbo possible effect Hint such devel opment will hnvo on tho ranch Indus try of this county. At tbo present tlmo thousands of cnttlo ranged In Harney county nro fed ovory winter on nlfalfa raised In Malheur county. Will Ibis nuuual migration or cattlo from tbo Hnrnoy vnlloy coaso with tho Irrigation of 100,000 ucros In Hnrnoy? If so Mnlheur county rnncborH will hnvo to bogln Imme diately to extend their dnlry and other Interests, as tltoy should have douo years ago. It Is cortaln, too, that with so vast a body of Irrigated land In Harney that region will not long ho without railroad facilities. And that moans Hint tho dream of years, a railroad from Ontario to Head nnd from On tario to Klamnth Falls will bo a reality. What that moans to On tario and Malheur county depends entirely upon tho lultlntlvo mnnl- HTII.Ii UNSOLVED. Tho bousing problem In Ontario Is still unsolved. It Is truo Hint a good start ban been mado by a number of business mon toward meeting tho situation by building homes of their own, but that docs not solve the problem entirely. We must have more homes for tho fnmlllos coming hero; looking tho field over boforo sottllng definitely. Tbo proposition mndo at tbo Com mercial club last week wherein ono man offered to tnko $11,000 worth of stork in a company to bo formed for the purpose of building a dozen small house, Is ono that should commend Itself to tboso who hnvo the progress of Ontario at heart. There Is no doubt Hint such n proposition would pay. It would bo good business on tho pnrt of thoso who want to see Ontario grow to got behind such a movement nnd hnvo tho houses started In tho nenr fu ture Particularly It would seem that such a movement would appeal to tliosu who own vacant properly In tho city. Thoro nro nny number of plnces whore such a row of houses would convert non-cnrnlng property Into Intorcst producing tracts. If contracted for on this scale thoro is no doubt but that Kutfstan- tlnl reduction In tho cost of these houses could bo mado and they could bo disposed of In n short time for at lonst what tboy wore built for and tho earnings In tho meantime would bo volvet to thoso who took tho In itiative In this movement. At tho samo tlmo tliosa who hnvo owned tho vacant lots for theso many yearn would In this way securo tho salo of property that has been on their hands, llosldo those' considerations thoro Is another sldo to tbo proposition, tho mon who would do this sorvlcu would bo public benofnetortf of On tario and aid In Its efforts to tnko ad vantage of tho forward movement townrd tho city that Is now ovl- dent. w m J3tfore Mftv SSSis m A jL w TOP DYE IS GUARANTEED TO PTC AND PRESERVE THE TOP RAINPROOF AND SUNPROOF EASILY APPLIED OUR GUARANTEE YOUn DEALER 13 INSTRUCTED TO REFUND YOUR MONEY IF YOU ARC DISSATISFIED WITH RESULTS.

Tho custom of placing a ChrlstmnH seal on romembrnnces sent to rela tives and friends Is not only n pleas ing bit of sentiment that gives grati fication to tho sender nnd thoso who rocelvo, but, hnB bocoiho a most Im portant ngent for tbo fighting of the most dreaded of mankind, tubercu losis. In taking advantage of tho cus tom of sending Chrlstmns messages thru seals tbo Antl-Tuborculosls so cloty lins chosen wisely for It hns thus secured means of doing good In making utilitarian a sentimental custom. , When ono realises that 1GO.O0O Amorlcan men and women dlo of this dread disease, and that thcro aro ono million nctlvo cases of tho dlsoaso in tho lniil today, ho Is Indeed lacking In tho spirit of service who would not aid In tbo fight to banish It from tho land. Thcro Is nnothor thing to remem ber concerning tho jittlo CbrlstmnK soals tho monoy secured from their snlo in Oregon is spent In Oregon to promoto tho health of tho people of this state. Tuberculosis Is a preventable dis ease. That Is what makes tho fight 'a hopeful ono. It Ih merely a ques tion of education until it Is eradi cated ns effectively as tho yellow fover was banished from tho South. Ontario Is asked to aid In this fight to tho extent of buying $.100 worth of theso little seals. It will do this without a doubt for Ontario Is nover slow in doing Its duty toward any worthy cause, and tlilx Is Indeed a worthy ono.
