Laura Walker, teacher in the Cope-
land district, reports that a new well
has been drilled in the school yard.
This has meant considerable expense
to the district as it was necessary to
drill over 100 feet. However, good
drinking water must be provided for
our boys and girls in school. In this
particular district the pupils had car
ried water for over three miles until
the well was completed. Mildred
Copeland in this school has a perfect
attendance record.

FREE REPORT
ON STALLIONS
Malheur county readers of the En
terprise will be interested in the fol
lowing i tatistics, prepared by the Ore
gon Agricultural College for the read
ers of this paper:
Willamette alley counties lead
the State in the percentage of pure
bred stallions that are standing for
public service is shown in Circular
No. 2 of the Stallion Registration
Board. Marion county stands at the
head with 77 per cent pure bred, Linn
second with 70 per cent, Umatilla
third with 67 per cent, Maker fourth
with 58 per cent, Union fifth with 50
per cent. In the number of pure
bred licensed stallions, however, East
ern Oregon is ahead, Umatilla county
leaus with rr, Union county second
with 52, Uaker third with 41, Marion
and Linn counties are tied for fourth
with 37 each. The total average for
the state nhows that over 53 per cent
of the stallions that are standing for
public service are pure bred. Hence
the people of Oregon can boast that
the pure bred stallions are in the ma
jority.
"Figures compiled from the stallion
owners show that the average price
pawl for service fees of pure bred stal
lions is only $3 higher than that paid
for mongrels. Facts prove that ev
eryono can afford to pay more than
this difference for the best stallions.
The report states: 'The thing that
is holding the horse situation back
as much as anything is the big price
paid for poor stallions and the small
price that is paid for good ones
Anyone wishing this free report giv
ing all the stallions atanding for nub
lie sen ice should write to the Stallion
Registration Board, Corvallis, Ore."
HOMEDALE BRIDGE
SHOULD BE BUILT
BY OWYHEE COUNTY
The Homedalo paper and the Jor
dan Valley Express are criticising
Governor Alexander of Idaho for ve
toing the bridge bill passed by the
Idaho legislature, for the construction
of a bridge across Snake river at
Homodalo, in Owyhee county, Idaho.
If these papers will stop and con
sider a moment, they will see that the
bridge asked for was not an inter
state bridge, but a bridge entirely
within the county of Owyhee, and
therefore it is up to Owyhee county to
construct it, Owyhee is the only
county in I.Uho to be benefited by the
bridge, and the only wonder is that
the legislature could be prevailed up
on to ta i all the other counties of Ida
ho for the benefit of Owyhee.
Just below llomodaL another bridge
is to be built arroks Snake river, and
this U mlirely within Malheur eoua-
ty, O.gon. Did we go to tb Oregon

The Westfall pupils gave their teach
er, Mrs. Jacobs, a delightful surprise
birthday party a week ago Wednes
day evening.
Two new framed pictures of Wash
ington and Lincoln have been hung
on the walls of the upper grade room
in the Westfall schools. The seventh
grade class is making a study of De
Vinci's "The Last Supper." A num
ber of the teachers are developing a
real appreciation of good pictures by
giving time to the work.
Miss Overstreet, teacher in the Cres
ton district, continues the serving of
warm lunches. Even her boys are
proving themselves good cooks.
Teachers wishing exemption cards
will please notify the county superin
tendent as to the number required.
As the supply is not large, these will
not be sent out unless requested. One
card should be secured for each pupil
earning exemptions.
School closed in district number 45

GETTING BACK AT KANSAS
Everyone has read William Allen
White's 42-centimeter editorial shot at
Nebraska, inspired by the New York
Times' error in assigning Nebraska
instead of Kan-as ns the native state
of General Fred Funston. Now comes
Harvey Newbrawh, editor of Senator
Hitchcock's Cmaha World-Herald, in
the following withering fire of liter
ary shrapnel:
'Base envy, as the ioet remarked,
withers another's joy, and hates the
excellence it cannot reach. So was it
ever with Kansas.
"Nebraska ra.ses corn am! p.lfalfa
and wiieat and pork and beef and Knn
sas raise ; hell. Nebraska piles up its
wealth and Kansas piles up its sand
dunes. Nebraska is se nghteois that
she can trust herself to freedom, and
Kansas so wicked she must restrain
herself in gyves and chains then she
cries out. 'See how good I am!' Kan
sas tries all things and Nebraska only
picks up those that are good and holds
onto them. Kansas keeps the re t.
Nebraska is philosophic and happy,
Kansas a f retail, impatient insomniac.
Kansas vainly seeks s'.rceaso in fads
and follies and chimeras, Nebraska
find? it in the i imple virtues our moth
ers taught, reinforced l:y all the good
Ihings that a rational use of honestly
acquired wealth can procure. Nebras
ka is courteous and unobtrusive, Kan
sas a shrieking self-advertiser, boast
ing even of her blizzards and hot
winds as colder and hotter and more
destructive than can be found any
where else on earth. Nebra-ka out
ranks Kansas ir all the excellencies
and blessings and Kansas outranks
Nebraska in her ability as a bnllyhoo
artist.
"If this man White really thinks
we are 'a milk-eyed, placid, bluejtock
inged old maid who never had a ihrob
of emotion,' let him come up and try
us. Let him sneak around Lincoln,
which is a Kansas burg transplanted
by a Kansa3 breeze, and not a Nebras
ka town at all, and make his way
straight to Omaha. Let him come
with his hair in braids and a K'ld, mad
light in his eye. He may go home
fagged and dazed and bent and broke,
but at the least he can say, 'I have
lived!' And he will have the rest of
his life to devote to recuperation
and remembering. He will have been
to Carcasonne."
JACK JOHNSON'S CAR.
Jack Johnson's racing car, which two
years ago was the talk of the country,
has been purchased by B. C. Rosecrans,
of Wisconsin. This monster racing
car was built by the Thomas Flyer
company. The solid aluminum body
was cast in one piece in England, no
manufacturer in this country being
able to make it at the time, its mech
anism has a six-cylinder engine, each
of the cylinders being 5Vx7 inche-i
which have a capacity of 105 horse
power and will send the machine over
the ground at a speed of 90 miles an
hour. All the parts of this wonderful
speed demon were especially made fo;
Jack Johnson and cost $14,000. How
ever, the reckless career of Johrson in
connection with his famous restaurant
in Chicago brought about the loss of
hh rights in this country as well as
his wonderful machine, which was at
tached for a debt by the Hailman
Brewing company.

THE OLD-FASHIONED MOTHERS.
Thank God, some of us have an old
fashioned mother. Not a woman of
the period, painted and enameled, with
all her society manners and fine dress
es, white jeweled hands that never felt
the clasp of baby fingers; but a dear,
old-fashioned mother with a sweet
voice, eyes into whose clear depth the
love light shone, and brown hair just
threaded with silver, lying smooth un-
on her faded brow. The hands, worn
with toil, gently guided our stens in
childhood and smoothed our cheeks in
ickness, ever reaching nut tr. ;
yearning tenderness. Blessed is the
memory of an old-fashioned mother.
H floats to us like the beautiful per
fume of some wood hlos. oms. The
music of other voices may be lost, but
the enchanting memory of hers will
echo in our soul forever.
