That the city needs such new laws as have been embodied in the new charter is true beyond a doubt for the old VOTE FOR THE charter is by far inadequate. In fact no city NEW CHARTER can progress under such an antiquated charter as the City of Vale has been and is working under. Its growth has been handicapped for no other reason than that the city administration has no power to accomplish anything under the present pioneer charter. Vale is today far beyond the trading village class and thus de mands a charter that will govern all present needs. Vale should have an up-to-date body of laws, a charter that will allow the city to advance, one that will let progress march on with rapid strides, and not one that is such a serious handicap as the present charter is known to be. Hundreds of copies of the new charter have been printed and are now in the hands of the City Recorder. If you have not yet secured one, don't fail to get a copy. Study the charter for your self and be man enough to look into it for yourself and not take another man's word for he might have an ax to grind and find the new charter too binding on him or perhaps too progressive a docu ment If you want to see Vale take a spurt in the march of progress, if you want to so see Vale prosper, if you want to see Vale have laws that will govern every case that will come up in the future, if you want to see Vale a modern town, if you want to see Vale be a town with power to regulate its business affairs, if you want to see Vale be placed on a strict law abiding and business adminis tration, then VOTE for the NEW CHARTER. he knows that the new friends are better friends for him. The truth is that friendship is progressive, not reactionary. If we'amount to anything at all, if we are anything more than a sort of human vegetable, we go on advancing, broadening out, getting a little more liberal every year, and our friendships keep pace with our widening horizon. Payette, quiet and slow going, was awakened from her dreams last week; when the town council in a fit of unparalleled ... i t.2AM extravagance purchased a hne lot of road maKing macnmeiy. The purchase consists of a 12-ton road roller, a rock crustier having a capacity of 125 tons per day and one of the latest wrink les in an up-to-date road grader. The commercial club in a body called on the council while it was in session, which no doubt 'had much to do with the action that was taken. But be that as it may, Payette will be well equipped when the machinery arrives for building. Roads in that part of Canyon county are usually quite good but they can be made much better. If each town in the county would follow the example set by Payette in purchasing equipment and would then use it successfully this would soon be the banner county in the state for good roads. The time has come when better roads are a necessity. The farmer who grows apples and other fruits, cannot haul to market profitably over bad roads. Nampa has a highway commission that keeps a force of men busy all the time and as a result some of the roads near town are bet ter than they have ever been before. Nampa Record. Irrigation conditions in the Imperial Valley, California, has made possible nine cuttings of alfalfa an average of 13 tons to the acre during a single season. On one farm of thirty-three acres down there 35 cows were kept, 135 tons of alfalfa were raised in a season, ana during the summer months zuu nogs were pastured. It looks like a lesson to this section, and indicates that greater re sults and crops should be gotten out of this rich Malheur valley soil than are now grown and harvested by the local ranchers. Scientific farming with a study of local conditions is of greatest importance and that is why the Malheur Enterprise would like to see an experiment farm station established in the Malheur valley. I T is pleasing to note that during the past week a large number of property owners and renters have been carrying on the cleaning crusade. Their labors are to be commended. However, the work of Clean-up-Day should not be confined to residence property, there should be a general clean-up of MORE WORK the business section, the back alleys and the TO BE DONE livery stable corrals. Make this Clean-up cru sade a success by cleaning up your premises and thus benefitting the health of your family as well as that of the city. You will also help to make the city more beautiful. Why should we not all win a reputation for keeping our residence and business property clean. We would make a hit with all of the visitors, the homeseekers and investors. ARE old things the best? Certainly, you say. Do we not all i in" lit i sentimentally quote, old wine, old dooks, old menus are best?" Do we not all go in for the cult of the antique? Do we not squander our hard earned money on old mahogany that col collapses when we try to use it unless ARE OLD FRIENDS we have had the luck to be taken in by VUK ULSi rliituiyuST some dealer who has palmed on on us perfectly good Grand Rapids, with i few wormholes scientifically bored in it, for the real thing? Do we not all yawn over old books that we know it is the cor rect thing to admire while we joyfully eat up the six best sellers? Aren't we all hypocrites and liars when we stand before the old masters and rave over dingy, smudgy, faded canvasses that we secretly think perfectly hideous? And do old friends come up to the mark any closer than other old things? Millions of tons of slushy sentiment has been written about the friends of other days, and the friends of our youth, and old friends being the best, and we are all inclined to get maudlin when we talk about the Johnnie Jones with whom we played mar bles, and flew kites, and went to school, and with whom we swore a Damon and Pythias friendship that was to exist as long as life lasted. This is particularly the case if you haven't seen Johnnie Jones for the last twenty or thirty years. He lives in your memory as the very ideal of comrade and friend, true and loyal and generous, one with whom you could share every thought and emotion. How often you think of that early friendship! How often you yearn for that early friend! Then some time you go out and hunt up Johnnie Jones. You find him dull, and stodgy, and commonplace, with a soul that never rises above price of canned goods and dry groceries. About an hour of Johnnie Jones' society bores you stiff, for, alas, you have outgrown your childhood friends as you have out grown your childhood knickerbockers, and you can no more go back to one than the other. Are old friends the beat? Not if you want help. Not if you want somebody to give you a Unut up the ladder. In all Holy Writ there Is nothing truer than this -"A prophet In not without honor M.ve In hia own country mid among hU own people." It la a bromide that every one' r xp rU'iuu will Uar out, that we Iinvd to fr'o away from home to uucm-d. There may ! tlm-4 wlit-u iuuii tU fur tin old Ull M JjW'Wdl mt-t fiiemU of tlitr duya, but If l.inunt wllli himself Is reciprocity "coming back" in Canada? It was beaten in the total vote of the Dominion by less than 30,000 votes, although the local majorities were so well distributed as to give its oppon ents a strong preponderance in parliament. Now Western Canada is piled high with wheat that can't be sold. The coalition ministry at Ottawa is having lots of friction. Sir Wilfrid Laurier is making a good many thought-provoking speeches. The reciprocity law is still on the statute books of the United States. May not Canada after all come to the conclusion that it would be better to recipro cate with us? Pupils of the Portland schools have taken up Country Life education in earnest and during the past week the work was given new impetus. One city school alone has 1300 gardens now being grown by pupils. This shows that school fairs will be popular and should also be held in Vale. It would encourage the children of this city in taking more interest in the useful things of life and prove a splendid diversion from book work. The unsuccessful attempt of Ex-Congressman W. R. Ellis to "come back" has cost him just $1156.95 according to a statement he ha3 filed with the state officials. The beating that he got the other time didn't seem to do him any good. Well, the third time is always the charm. Might try again, (on a progressive platform.) Are you telling all your friends and relatives, who live in neighboring towns and cities, that Vale will have the grandest two days celebration on July 4th and 5th that has ever been held in Eastern Oregon and Southwestern Idaho. Tell them to come to Vale where they will be assured a good time. Vale is playing some baseball this year. The local team is holding down first in the percentage column and will continue to do so until the pennant is won. Of course everybody can lend a hand by cheering the boys to victory at all the games. What are you doing in the way of making Vale a more tiful city? Have you planted those shade trees yet? beau- RAILROAD MEN ARE WORKING TOWARD ODELL The Utah Construction company. which has for the past three years maintained headquarters at Natron, is moving to Oakbrldge.

VALE DEFEATS BOISE IN 7-INNING GAME AND LEADS LEAGUE Boise's veteran baHeballl team, better known as the Moose Club of the Idaho Capital City, proved easy meat to Vale's fast aggregation on last Sunday when the local team won the seven inning game by the score of 3 to 2. There was nothing to the game from the start as the Vale boys easily piled up two scores from the first jump. . . Pitcher Pugsley was in fine trim in ppite of the cold wet wearther, the game having been played between showers. The first Boise man up to the bat fanned out and the second got a liner to Wheeler on second and died on first base. Case, Boise's heavy batter, who a year ago played with the Vale team on several occas ions, took the bat and landed a safe hit to the left field but only made first base. Case was making good headway and stol several bases when the batter fanned out with Case on third base. There was rejoicing when the Vale boys came up to the bat. Thayne was the first man up and with one of his usual swipes landed the ball safe ly for two bases ; Wheeler failed to do his stunt at the bat and was put out on first. Jackson came up and carried Thayne third. Andy Rose was out on first, but when Pennywell got a hit missesd by centerfield both Thayne and Jackson came in home. The inning ended then Diven wab put out on second. The second inning proved just as disastrous to Boise and the first two players died on first. The third man up just reached first and died on sec ond when the fourth batter made one of the most beautiful hits of the game, but as Left fielder Neely's bas ket was a solid one the inning was cut short and the Vale fans nearly hollered themselves horse in praise of Neely's fine work. The second half of the inning brought Vale a goose egg; Diven and McPherson going out with a liner each to short. Pugsley managed to make first but Thayne fanned out. It was in the third inning that Boise brought home the only one really earned tally of the game. It happened this way. The first man at the bat fanned out, the second was put out by Rose on first, Pugsley hit the third and he walked to first, then Case, Boise's heavy batter landed the ball to the left field and Ncely missed it letting the runner come in home from first. The inning was however cut short when Case was put out on third. In the second half of the third Captain Wheeler was put out on first, Jackson got a hit to the right field for two bases and reached third on Andy Rose's safe hit past first; Pen nywell fanned out and Diven with a hit to the right field brought in Jack son. Neely was up next but only got a liner to short and went out on first and the side was out with two runners still on bases. It was in the fourth inning that the fans saw a beautiful double play put to good effect and the Boise boys' endeavors were again cut short. The first Boise man made first on an error on Neely's part, the second fanned out and the third gave a nice pick-up to Pennywell who put it to second and Wheeler in turn passed it on to Rose on first. It was a good double and the side was out. In the fifth Pugsley showed the Boise boys what there was In him by fanning out the first two batters, the third batter reached first and when Catcher Jackson attempted to put the runner out on second Wheeler wasn't there to get a beautiful throw. The next man knocked the little sphere in the direction of the right hand flag and although Umpire Schmidt called it a foul two runners came In home. Boise claimed it was a fair ball and thri was a row on hand. After sev eral minutes of rag chewing the local team donated Boise one run and the Becond runner was put back on second, but Case, who was up at the bat failed to make good. For Vale Wheeler was put out on first, Pugsley gave the third baseman a liner and was also put out on first and Rose with one to Bhort also met his Waterloo at first. The sixth inning was a seesaw game with goose eggs for both sides; and the seventh resulted in another dispute. The first Moose was put out on first, the second batter with a hit to right field made first and with an error on Wheeler's part Bafely made second and third. The third batter fanned out and while the fourth man was batting the runner, who was at tempting to steal in home on a ball missed bv Jackson, was put out at home when Pugsley beat him home and put the ball on him which Jack son had picked up at the backstop. The side was out and the seven in nings, as far as Boise was concerned were over, although Boise kicked the traces on the last decision to no ad vantage. Kellem umpired the last two in nings. Pugsley struck out eight men and Vining four. The score by inning.
