I like the book becauso the mon
koy was clever. He had good com
mon sense, ho sure uses it more
than somo of us. Read it and see.
I want someone olso to read It be
cause It is comical
'Virgene Johnson, Grado CB.
Stevenson, Kidnaped.
Tho book I llko best is Steven
son's "Kidnapped". I llko "Kid
napped" because of the explaining
of the old tlmo clans and about the
vlllago and people in tho days of
old. I llko also the adventure it
has in it. Tho reason I want my
friends to read it is because I want
thorn to know about tho people and
clans and how the people stood up
for their rights long ago.
Bobby Luehrs, 7th Grado
Dickens, David Copperfleld.
The book I llko best is "David
Copperfleld." I llko It best be
cause it told all tho hardships of
David and how he suffered. I would
llko someono else to read It because
it is sad and would tell them how
other people havo their hardships.
Anna Messee, 8th Grade.
Fox, The Trail of tho Lonesome
Pine. .
Tho book I llko best is "Tho Trail
of tho Lonesome Pine." I llko it
becauso it is about a girl coming
from tho wilderness into what you
might call civilization to get edu
cated. I want someone else to read
it because it tolls how somo people
aro always trying to get an educa
tion and may encourage them to get
as much schooling an they can while
they aro young and have a chance.
Harriet Prahl, 8th Grado.

ACTIVITIES OF COMMERCIAL
(continued from page one)
1st Excursion which Governor Da
vis of Idaho, promoted. The visit
ot these men to this section will not
only stimulate, the dairymen in the
Snake River valley Into increasing
their herds and securing better
stock, but the advertising this coun
try received as a result of the ar
lcles written by these men will bring
to this country many other men
with dairy experience who will
help greatly in developing tho dairy
Industry in this valley. The possi
blities of this section in dairying
greatly appealed to all of these ex
perts from Eastern states and they
one and all have prodicted that this
line will grow into one of our lead
ing Industries within the next few
years and that no section of the U.
S. is better adapted to this business.
Other Activities
During the past year the Ontario
Commercial club haB sent out over
6000 letters and pieces of literature
to all parts of the U. S. Several
hundred, replies have been received
and many people have written that
they would come here Just the mo
ment they could sell out. All liter
ature sent haB related to the farm
ing possibilities of this valley as a
whole and it is believed that the re
sults from this advertising will be
gin to show the moment that farm
lands commence to move in any part
of the country.
During the past year the Club
spent somo money on a Chicken
Show, a spraying demonstrattlon to
check the alfalfa weevil and on
farm picnics and other matters of
Interest to our community. Tho Fair
committee of the Ontario Commer
cial club, ably assisted by a great
number of our local workers, spent
several weeks of hard work in pre
paring for the amusement features
of the recent Malheur county fair.
That it was a success in this line
was due to this effort on the men
at the head of this enterprise who
laid all of tho plans and personally
saw tht they were carried out. That
the Fair was a success both finan
cially and otherwise was also due to
the community spirit that was
aroused in tho minds of the Ontar
io people by the Commercial club.
While the Club has behind it
many things to Justify its existence
during the past three years, yet be
fore it aro three things tho foun
dations of which have been laid,
which we hope to see under way be
fore the end of tho next year, any
ono of which will be of great ad
vantage to Ontario and Malheur
county.

Blackaby who was named county
