oirr tjik good out of it
Tho very candid story concerning
tho Warmsprlngs Irrigation dis
trict which tho Portland Telegram
printed under the name of Its staff
writer, Henry Hanzen will bo a
great Injury or a blessing just as
tho people within tho district deter
mine. Tho statements concerning tho
financial condition of tho district
woro quoted from a momorlal which
tho directors themselves prepared
and had sent forward to Represen
tative Sluuott as tho basis for be
ginning nn appeal for Congressional
relief. SInco hey mado theso state
ments themselves they cannot now
condemn tho Telegram for publish
ing them. Wo believe that thoy
woro printed in tho Vale Enter
prise at tho tlmo tho memorial was
prepared, and thus woro given to
tho public and any of tho metropol
itan papers might at that time havo
secured them.
SInco tho directors of tho Warm
springs In their Memorial to Con
gross rolatod their financial status
and thus It can not jyu disputed,
tho thing to bo dono 1b not to con
demn tho Tolegrum for printing tho
story which tho directors themselves
mado public; but to make a dofiulto
offort to placo tho pcoplo of tho dis
trict upon a permanently profitable
basis.
This Is tho ono hopo of salvation.
It has been proven that Improved
ngrlculturo will save a situation ns
dosporato as tho Warmsprlngs di
rectors ndmlt tholrs to be. Tho ob
ject lesson is not so far away that It
noed bo disputed; It can bo r found
down at Jeiomu and Wendell, Ida
ho whoro through tho Introduction
of tho dairy cow It. E. Shopard
managor of tho North Sldo Twin
Falls Tract haB already strongth
onod tho market for 'tho bonds' of
that district lit leas than a year.
Fuithormoro though huudteds of
cows havo boon placed In tho hands
of ranchers thoro, nioro nro to fol
low. From a roglon which socurod llt
tlo or nothing from dairying thoro
Is bolng pnld ovory day to tho farm
ors of that tract $1,G00 and thoy
plan to increase- this to $10,000.
With tholr prosont lncomo tho set
tlors aro beginning to seo daylight
nhead of thorn. It Is also truo that
, fiom tho proportion set nsldo from
each cream 'chock to pay for the
cows oilglunlly purchased theso
animals nio now, in a majority of
tho cases, tho propoity of tho ranch
ors. Mr. Shopard faced a problem ns
difficult of solution as that of tho
Wnrmspiings. In sohlng It ho has
dono tho district and tho entire
state of Idnho a ronl sorvlco. Ho
has lod tho way to a stabilized ngil
cultiuo In tlio Joromo and Womloll
soctlons. Tho Warmsprlngs Dis
trict can do tho same thing for Mal
heur county, Oregon, Wo bollovo
that should tho Warmsprlngs I)ls
trlot sccuio for tho management of
Its affairs a man of Mr. Shepnrd's
vision and ability it can turn its
piosout predlcnmout Into a blosslng
nnd servo not only itself and Its pco
plo, but tho ontlro county nnd state.
Such a proceoduro calls for hard
work and perhaps years of offort,
but It will be worth while. Nothing
olso will sufftco. It Is needless to
observe that though tho form of tho
obligation bo changed nnd tho gov
ornmont outer tho field, still tho
bonds nro out against the pioject,
tho cost must bo paid from tho pro
ducts of tho land. It moro fnuir
ablo terms can bo socurod by gov
ernment co-oporntlon of course tho
pooplo should endeavor to socuro
that nld, and nro justified in so do
ing. This howovor, should not ho
tho only plan followed or depended
upon.
Efforts should bo made now to as
sist tho Bottlers on tho lauds to suc
ceed bo that others will be attracted
to sottlo bosldo thorn. ThU is tho
hopo of all this roglon. Tho Wnrm
Bprlngs Is not alono in facing a hard
ACROSS THE STREET FROM THE POSI OFFICE

UM, ENAMELED AND TIN WARES.
THE VARIETY STORE
THE
problem. Practically every lrrlga-
gatlon project in the West, In vary
ing degree, It Is true, is up against
tho same difficulty.
This calls for a united offort on
tho part of tho people on the lands
and In the towns. No matter how
magnificent may bo the plans for
boosting this region, unless, first
the prosperity of tho ranchers now
hero is secured they will fall, for
the ono bid we have to make for
other Bottlers -la that those now op
orating properties hero are produc
ing profitable crops under living
conditions which appeal to Amer
icans. Till
AMERICAN' FARMER VS THE
SLAVIC COAL MINER?
If tho farmers went on strike
woild tho railroad men stop gard
ening In sympathy?
If tho farmers went on strike
would tho railroad men seo their
children Btarvo rather than make the
offort to get food for them? We
bcllevo not.
Tho coal miners who havo been
on strike for months havo shown
what thoy tlitnk of the right of
ovory man to his Job. They havo
raised gardens, milked cows and en
tered directly Into competition with
tho farmer.
Of course it Is all right for a rail
road man or a coal minor to . com
poto with the farmer so tho rail
road men think and tho coal miner
too but If a poor rancher; who has
gono broko trying to raise cropk at
tho prices received tho past few
years; were to go now and take one
of tho Jobs which these railroad
men, or miners left, Imagine the
howl that thoy would raise.
Tho ono good thing contained in
President Harding's message to con
gross was the admission that tho
country is at the mercy of tho Unlt
od Mine Workers of America. It
Is well that this fact bo faced. Not
until tho peoplo admit tho danger of
a condition will they sot about try
ing to correct it.
It Is about tlmo that tho "people
know that thoy aro at tho mercy of
tho United Mine Workers of Amer
lca; and to know too; that the mem
bership of tho United MIno Workers
Is fully C5 per cont Slavic, that over
half of tho mombors, It Is safe to
say, are not ovon citizens of the
United States.
This Is a flno state of affairs. The
President of tho United States open
ly admits that a nation of One Hun
drod Millions of pcoplo is nt tho
morcy of four hundred ' thousand
coal minors, not half of whom aro
Its cltizons. v
Talk about being dominated by
foreign lnfluonco, should wo onter
tho Loaguo of nations? According
to Prosldont Hnrdlng's own state
ment wo havo forolgn Interference
right horo now.
