The cloud that has prevented the sale of irrigation

The failure of the government to build the Malheur
system came about through the inability of the farmers
to comply with the hard terms ot the government and
those terms were made because of the inability of the
irovernment to understand

F. B. ZUTZ FOR ASSESSOR
At the last primary election for the nomination of

late, and he came within three votes of receiving the nom
nation. His announcement as a candidate for that of
Jice appears in this number of the Enterprise. Mr. Zutz
vas raised in Malheur county and is perhaps in as close
.ou:h with the conditions throughout the entire county
is anyone, lie is one 01 the proprietors ot Kingman
ownsite on the Nyssa-Homedale railroad and one of the

He is a capable and popular young man and if nominated

It is interesting to read of success in farming and

This is remarkable in the face of the fact that this
company has owned some 250,000 acres of the best land in
the Malheur and Willow river valleys for some thirty or
more years and have successfully prevented irrigation for
many years, presumably in order to prevent any one be

GUY JOHNSTON
Another old timer of Malheur county announces his
candidacy this week for assessor. Guy Johnston, of Big
Bend, and who has been a citizen of the county from his
boyhood days, is a candidate for the nomination on the
Democratic ticket. Mr. Johnston is a successful farmer
and is well versed in values

permit him to do so. The fairness of this proposition will
appeal to every taxpayer of the county.

The day for taking the cash and neglecting the buyer
has passed. Commercial bodies should so advertise them
selves and take such measures as will prevent any un
scrupulous dealings. There should be a strong committee
of information to whom it will be given power to make
careful investigation as to prices and character of lands
in different localities in as minute manner as possible and
that will be fearless in expressing their findings.
We want settlers and farmers on our lands but they
are no good to us nor to themselves unless satisfied. The
commercial bodies can go a long way toward accomplish
ing this and it is their duty to do it.
B. W. MULKEY
B. W. Mulkey enters the
assessor on the Democratic ticket this week. Mr. Mulkey
is well known throughout Malheur county, and his ability
both from a clerical and practical standpoint is recogniz

some years ago. Mr. Mulkey pledges himself to use his
very best efforts toward securing an equitable assessment,
and his numerous friends throughout the county know
that he will conscientiously adhere to this pledge if nom
