MMMMM 0. K. Alteon, Managing Editor SUDSCIUPTION Ono Year, f 2.00 IP If tho Owyhee project with Us potontlnl wealth and possibilities was locatod within ton to 100 miles of Portland what a fight that com munity, and tho inombors of tho Or Orogon dolcgatlon InCongross would mako for Its -instruction. Portland with Its fighting spirit would mako Washington howl, and tho roar which tho dolcgatlon In Congress would hoar would stlm ulato real action. That Is tho difficulty wo of East ern Oregon, and particularly horo In Mainour county must undorgo. ' Wo nro too far away from tho location of tho big voto to got a roal hoar Ing. No doubt tho mon In Congress jnoan to do tholr bost. They just do not roallzo what tho Owyhuo pro Dependable to the Minute and Artistically Designed i uHnv Jcct means. Portland wants Oregon to Invest thrco million dollars In nu exposi tion which will bo successful If It adds fifty thousand to Oregon's pop ulation. Tho Owyhee projoct will do that much for tho state It will be a permanent Investment roturnlrfg to Oregon each year products worth many millions moro than It cost. It will furnish a real opportunity for those, who coming to boo tho oxposl Hon, want to romaln In Oregon. It tho oxposltlon Is" worth whlto, and v bollovo It is, thou tho Owyhee pro ject vlowod as ji atalo wldo bono fit, Is moro worthwhile Hut It Is not locatod noar Portland, or It would havo bcon built years ago. OliCOTT AND fePKCIAIj 8IMHION Having had a dictum from a ma' jorlty of moro than twonty thousand of tho votora of Portland concern ing their doslro for a world-wldo oxposltlon for 102C, Qovornor 01- cott has caltod n spoclal session of tho leglBlaturo. It is also significant that tho Gov ornor callod tho lawmakers togoth- or for Docembor 10, just six days botoro Chrlstmhs. Tho Qovornor has had ono oxporlonco with a spo clal sosslon and ovldontly doos not Intond to got burnod twlco In tho BAtno placa and In tho samo way. It will take tho lawmakors at least ono day to got tholr organization 10 wonting, it wm tako ono or perhaps two days to consldor tho ox position diii ana auothor ono, -or porhaps two, to enact a measuro for road protection, and It takes at least two 'days for soma of tho boys to got homo from Balom and thoy will all want to bo homo for Christ mas, Don's pretty smart, wo Bay. But ovon tho calling of tho sos slon Is not going to ndd much wntor to Den's pojltlcal wheel. Thoso who opposo tho fair object to tho Oovornor's offlco bolng raado uso of to promoto It; yot their conten tion is not valid, for hhd ho rofusod, It Is apparont, attor tho Portland voto, that flurttclont slgnaturos could havo boon socurod In Portland alono to put tho measuro on tho bal lot. This goos to provo that undor tho Inltlatlvo and roforendum tho big cities havo n doctdod ndvantago over tho suinllor town and tho coun try districts. Anyway, tho session has boon callod and tho politically mlndod mombors of that body with tholr oar to tho ground aro listening to tho rumblofl and worries ovor what to do. And thoy wont"""liavo much tlmo to pomlor that Is what makos eorno or tho boys a trlflo hostile at Don for putting thorn In a bole.

HAMILTON AND MANY OTHEIt ItELIABLE MAKES HANGING IN PIUCE FltOM $15 to $125 You ca get tho best there is- and Savo money at BIACKABY JEWflRY STORE MENTZ GARAGE Second door south of the Arguff Office NOW OPEN CARS STORED ALL KINDS OF KPA1M GOOD SERVICE- VliXXlKQ BQUAItH We wonder what aorao of the folks, who when tho' bad plonty of roady money, last your and tho yoar boforo, to send out of this city for things thoy might havo bought at homo, act when thoy go to our local morchants and chargo tholr accouut? How do thoy feolT How should they foolT Aro thoy entltlod to credit now? It is a safo statement that many an Ontario merchant, and many a merchant In every other small town and city Is adding to his gray hairs worrying ovor tho accounts bo can not pay promptly and koep up his credit rating with tho wholesalers and manufacturers; all because thoso who In their days of prospor Ity pasled him by for a trlflo sav Ing, and now oxpect him to "car ry them until times aro bettor." It would not bo so bad if after having shortoned the life of tho mer chant through adding to his bur dens and many times criticising him oevorely and unjustly, those samo people, when they got a little cash, Instead of paying tho local merchant, send their money away again and let the merchant wait. To say the least; the treatment which the local merchants receive from some of their customers la mighty unfair. There Is no denying that aU of us, In this and every other commun ity are having our troubles. The farmers were the first to feel the effects of the slump, and havo been hard hit. They bavo lost heavily and they have a struggle before which go to mako up his oxponso account. Ono of tho big ItomB Is tho ex penso of almost evory concern Is In torost;for It is surprising how fow buslnoss houses thoro aro which, at somo Beason nt least, aro not com pelled to borrow ruonoy. Llko every thing olflo this Interest on borrowod money Is nddod to tho oxponso of tho storo that gives tho credit. Like wIbo Uio cost of keeping accounts, tho loss of collodions add to tho burdens of tho credit giving storo tho storo which Is now tho salvation of many a homo. It Is not hard to imaglno Uio hardship which would bo visited up on many a homo If, right now, ovory slnglo storo In Ontario wont upon, a 100 per cent cash basis, llko tho mall ordor homo. And added to that sold Its goods unstght, unsoon and added tho cost of dolivory too, which tho customor pays when ho pays tho postago, freight or express. Whllo thero may bo local mor chants who aro not paragons of vir tue when ono thinks of tho treat ment thoy sometimes rocolvo from thoso whom thoy glvo tholr goods and trust for pay, It Is not entirely to bo wondorod at. - In mattors of this kind tho good of tho ontlro community , Its Inter ests and its happiness would bo vastly Increased by a 111110 applica tion of that glorious principal "Do unto othors as you would havo them do unto you." WAKING UP Civilian America has just discov ered anothor World War horo. Ef forts aro bolng mado at this writing to promoto Sergeant Snmuol Wood fill, who as lloutonant In tho 00th Infantry, won tho Congressional Modal of Honor, to tho grado of cap tain.

In each Instanco tho story of tho soldlor's prowess wns unearthod through no effort of Bolf-advortlsement on tho part of tho soldier hlniBOlf. In tho caso of Woodtlll, Iloprosontatlvo Woodruff, hlmsolf a votoran, has specifically stated on tho floor of Cengress: "Dy no word or act of his did ho nttompt to call tho atten tion of his comrados to anything ho had dono hlmsolf." A Tho hundreds of thousands of vot erans who do not wear tho Congres sional Medal of Honor rojolco la tho tardy gonoral recognition awardod mon who, aro alroady famous In tho oyos of their buddlos. Moro than fifty World War Modal of Honor mon still llvo. Two havo won uni versal acclamation. When tho othor two scoro and moro havo boon ro- cognUod, whon tho thousands of woarors of tho Distinguished Sor- vlco Cross aro acknowlodgod, whQfl. tho public awakoa to tho fact that thirty thousand votorana aro In hos plals and twenty times that numbor aro out of Jobs, wo shall havo less causo to bomoan the tngratltudo of ropubllcs.
