Tremendous discounts have been demanded and hard terms made by the investor which added enormously to the cost of the enterprise. Through the evolution of engineering and promotion of irrigation systems, has been created the ''Irrigation District" which approaches en a sufficiency of water and and failure is impossible. Promotion expenses are com- pletely eliminated. Heavy discount on bonds is no longer N necessary nor in fact possible The railroad is now with- in three miles of the dam site which cuts, the cost of con-, Btruction more than one half. Cement is now selling' for less than ever before. Labor are ready to take hold with lower for such work than on The entire business is compelled by law to be carried on in an open and fair manner. The district owners have at all times complete knowledge and control of their af fairs. No money can be raised except by their consent and the books of the district amination. The district has power of condemnation and therefore no one can hold them up or blackmail them as is frequent ly done in private enterprises. C. C.

Phillips, of Nyssa, has announced himself as can city, for the republican nomination for County Treasurer didate for the nomination of j'oin representative, on the of Malheur county will meet considerable number of the republican voters of the coun ty, who are acquainted with Mr. Mueller and know his ability and fitness for the office he'seeks.. The Treasurer's office is one of the smallest salaried offices in the county though carrying the heaviest financial responsibility Mr. Mueller being located at to take care of the office without additional expense, and if nominated and elected will - cient official. WHY NOT FORGET THE PAST? Whatever the cause, and notwithstanding the injus tice, of our treatment by our bureaucratic government we will get nothing by complaining. We 'will never accom plish anything by talking about what might have been National matters and political necessities make our little affair of no moment in to us they will give us never oir a single piece of pork for The reclamation fund is enough left to half take care of proj'ects now in process of completion. They have plainly told us so. On the floor of the senate Senator Works stated that there would' be no more funds for new work for seventeen years and stated that he received his information directly from the fcecretary ot the interoir. They will give us their will be of assistance after a district is formed and organ ized. They will furnish us a lot of good advice, have al ready done so, but we repeat with emphasis and through a knowledge of the situation, that we will get no financial assistance from the government except perhaps through the passage of the Jones bill by which the government may be permitted to guarantee our bonds. This has noth ing to do with tho organization of a district as that would have to be done in any event ernment guarantee or sell privately. mi i i i i i i . rne state win be asKea to guarantee interest lor a term or perhaps to guarantee bonds of worthv enternris- es, but that requires a constitutional amendment taking g V . ...

Our bonds if issued properly could be refunded if the state or government passed the enabling bills mentioned. The fact is we are now on our own resources with the cheapest and best water storage opportunity in the whole country, ims ib neitiier uoosung nor uuncombe. The state engineer has so stated publicly as shown in last week's Enterprise. The government has published their is : . l ...u:i. i l. . . preuiHiiiury report which hhikus uiu same comparison. They will later complete their report along the same lines. Let us forget the past and work out our own salvation. C. M.

CHEAP ADVICE F If is an old saying that take it." There are occasions, is true. There are some ventab e and apparently vmdic tive' knockers residing less than three thousand miles from Chicago". They persistently arid without right or reason, knock enterprises of any. and to help the country advance., ' ''There, is no oil in this section" is a common expres sion. There is certainly no ground tor that expression un less the speaker is well conversant with that branch of science and has investigated until satisfied as to the facts. Scientific men have said there is and, as a fact, indica tions have been found to warrant that conclusion. That no oil has been found is another question Years of prospect- ine: has been required in most oil fields. There has been very little prospecting done ed to prospect why not help them rather than owlishly prophesy failure. Irrigation enterprises are also within the ban of the professional knocker. Yet these same knockers would be starving to death had not irrigation money been brought into the country. It has more than doubled the population of Vale and made pos sible an advance which would have taken years to accom plish without, The inauguration ot the again double the population Everv line of business will lawyers, traders and laborers increased or any business. This great and necessary has been hindered, by carping criticism and plain and damnable knocking. Our advice is QUIT IT. P. J.

SOCIAL FEATURES OF FARMERS' WEEK PROVIDED Entertainment features of the Far mers' and Home Makers' Week have not been overlooked. The week is in deed a strenuous search after the use ful and vital things of life, but re creation is one of these things. Con sequently this week will .offer a feast of pleasant things as well as a feast of substantial things. At the daily convocations, which will occur this this year from 1 to 2, following the lunch hour, musical features, provid ed through the courtesy of Professor Gaskins of the School of Music, will form an important part of the exer cises. A few readings by students an,d members of the faculty will also add interest to these daily events. An attractive feature of the week will be a number of luncheons and banquets. Informal luncheons are be ing arranged for several of the con ferences and others will doubtless be brought about as the number in at tendance warrants the arrangement. A banquet served by the senior stu dents of the Dairy department will be a feature of Tuesday evening as an honor to the breeders of dairy cattle, On Thursday evening the School of Home Economics will serve a College Products banquet at Waldo Hall, at which only products of the College farms will be served. For this event a nominal fee will be charged. On Tuesday evening a lecture pro gram will be offered in tho Women's Gymnasium, at which Miss Ravenhill, n charming and most effective speak' er, will bo one of tho entertainers. On Wednesday evening, which is call ed Get-together Night, a social enter tainment at the Gymnasium will take the form of a combined musical and dramatic program, and a contest game in which the representatives of dif ferent sections of the State will elect a spokesman whose duty it will be to uphold the worth of his particular re gion. This event is expected to pro duce a splendid fund of entertainment and a wealth of un-exploited data. There will be a number of educa tional shows. On Wednesday the ham and bacon show will start the nostrils and palate to inquiring for more; the corn show will next take the Johnnie cake; the poultry show will then be in fine feather; and the dairy show will stay till the cows go home at the end of tho week's engagement, no matter how many records are broken and these cows are the record-breaking kind. Then the horse show will come on the stage In a blazo of red, white, nnd blue ribbons on Friday night, and 1 othing more will be left for the seeker-after-a-good-time but a long season in which to remember tho glo xies of this rollicking Farmers' Week, Nor should the Boys' and Girls' judging contest on Friday afternoon and Saturday morning be overlooked, A bie meeting for these young ngri culturists and home-makers will be held in the lecture room of Dairy Hall, fhey will have their own keen work' in the contests, and their good time afterward. THE JACKRABBIT PEST. BROGAN, Oreg., Jan. 18; 1016. Malheur Enterprise, Vale, Oregon. Editor: In your last week's issue there, was an article written by a man from "CORD" in the southern part of this county about the jackrabbit. Wi people of Brogan, would like to join with.this gentleman in this discussion and hope that many other sections may join in as well. Itv will bp remembered that over a year ago, through our commercial ,cluh here, we prepared and circulated a petition to the County Court asking for a bounty on the rabbits equal to that in Harney County. The same was presented to the Court with the signatures of some fourteen hundred citizens of the county. In view of this the court' advertised an amount in the budget for this purpose, to be in cluded in the levy, if on a final con sideration they decided to grant it. We found good support in Vale and all of the" farming districts with the exception of Cairo and Ontario where, in our judgment, there was a scheme hatched up among a few of the figure, heads including "the leaders of the Po rriona Grange to defeat the movement, which in our judgment was of vital interest to 'the county at large and would have acted as well here as it has in Harney County as stated in the article above referred to. There was also another enterprise which has considerable influence in this county that bowed their necks. This was the sheep industry. At the hearing before the court when the matter was up for consideration there were many theories set forth by which the rabbit was to be exterminated, the principal one being the poisoning sys tern, but we people are unable to see where this has ever been put into ef fect with any degree of satisfaction. At the above hearing our delegation advocated that money spent in boun ties would return to the people in the county and in this way would aid our own people as well as materially aid in the extermination of the pest we were after. We have heard some of the old timers of this county wish for a hard winter as they said that in that event we would get rid of the rabbits, but it is the writer's opinion that in this we would be disappointed as the habits of the jackrabbit are changing as is evidenced at this time where we find them burrowing them selves into the ground and living in badger dens. This is a habit that a few 'years ago was not known of the jackrabbits, and for this reason alone we will never get rid of them in that way. I believe that it is safe to say that the rabbits have destroyed one hundred tons of hay in the Willow Creek Valley this winter and that be fore the present snow disappears they will likely have destroyed one hun dred acres of orchard, to say nothing of the damage done during the sum mer, as was spoken of last week. It is still our opinion that the only way to combat this pest is by the bounty system. CITIZEN.
