Saturday, March 3, 1917. Cooperation produces the results. It may be more fun to fight, but it don't pay. One fact at least was made clear at the VALE AND HER NEIGHBORS vice or any otner community, in tne pre sentation of her case Vale insisted that they wished no change that would work to the disadvantage of any of her neighbors. In the evidence given by the other com munities no witness testified but that he hoped Vale could secure what was her due. That is the only way for Malheur county to prosper. The new schedule in as much as it greatly satisfies the other communities is an indi rect benefit to Vale for she desires that it be as conven ient as possible for the county trade to reach her. On the other hand it is the duty of the railroad to provide better service for the Vale people to visit the other points in the county and return. The case is one of general in terest and all should and did work for a better and more accommodating train serivce to and from and between all points in Malheur county and the interior. Durintr the hearing held by the Oregon A COURT Public Service OF FACTS week, Chairman Miller explained that in the examining of witnesses and the secur ing of evidence the commission followed no set proceed ure, was not tied by any rules of evidence, that it would accept any information for what it was worth as evi dence, that any interested party could ask questions and volunteer information, that the commissioners were free to obtain information in an manner they saw fit; that the practice of holding the hearings in the locality to be effected by their decision, by greatly assisting them in learning of many details and in understanding the local coloring and setting, enabled them to get at the true basis of thisir case. Imagine a court where the judge does the questioning, where a spectator can examine a witness where the court comes to the scene of the controversy, where the parties at litigation edicts ot Blackstone, nor must depend upon the know! edge and intelligence of their attorneys; but a court of facts, a tribunal that goes after the facts and gets thpm. In support of this method let it be said that in the ten or more years since the commission has been organized they i. t i i i i i i ..... . 11 f nave never maae a decision inat nas Deen reversed Dy ei ther the state or federal courts nor by the interstate com merce commission. At the close of LEAVING sion hearing held in Vale this week the 0. A BAD S. L. attorneys, after conducting their case TASTE in a very formally gentlemanly manner told the commission that under no circumstances would they give any added service to Vale regardless of how satislactonly a schedule might be worked out, and threatened that should the commission decide that Vale was entitled to additional service thev would not trive it. but would carry the case to tion. We are glad to feel sion to know that they will not be influenced by any such ridiculous challange. The day is not far off when certain sure development will make Vale of such importance that the 0. S. L. will hold a different opinion. That day mav aiso oring railroad competition. The other parties will uo uie soliciting aicer inat.

Fifty-one mills in Oregon cut 1,381,634,000 feet of timber during 191G, and 18 mills in Idaho cut 589,720,000 feet. Throughout the nation 704 mills cut 14,488,397,000 feet. This is an increase over 1915 for Oregon and Idaho of over 14 per cent and for the nation of 11.2 per cent.

Sun Rise Valley experienced quite an eventful day February 22nd when Mr. and Mrs. Winans gave district 76 a large flag. Mr. Winans gave a very nice little talk then presented the flag to Mrs. C. L. Pollock who thanked them for it in behalf of the district. Mrs. Carl Edgar and Dorothy Gar dner read selections suitable for the occasion. Mrs. Winans gave this talk which shall be remembered for a long time by all who heard it. "I am glad that the flag has been accepted in the same spirit it was given. "It affords me pleasure to give, the pupils of this school 'A Something' which shall both interest and benefit them. "I think' a flag should have a place in every home and every child taught Loyalty to the Flag. "In tho past few years I have been grieved to see our Flag losing its meaning, This nas been attributed to the lack of teaching Patriotism in the homo and schools. People are waking up to this fact. "Only recently the people of Illi nois have set aside a week to meet to gether throughout the state and sing tho patriotic songs, 'Americn,' 'The Battle Cry of Freedom,' 'We Will Ral ly 'round the Flag, Boys,' and 'When lohnnio Comes Marching Home Again,' with many others for the pur poso of reviving Patriotism. "While I heartily endorse tho movc- .ment I am pained that it has to be resorted to in order to bring about an awakening of the sleeping patriot ism of this nation. Shame on a na tion that allows her Patriotism to fall isleep. "My motive (and only one) in giv ing this flag to the pupils of this school, is to awaken a deeper love in their hearts for our Country's Flag. "I hope by their daily association with tho Red, White and Blue that their hearts may be so filled with love and respect for their country that tho Dear Old Flag will hold for them the same sacred meaning as it held for George Washington and Abraham Lincoln." School is being held in Mr. W. R. Gardner's home. It is a picture of interest to see eight pupils sitting on benches and chairs around a table and ono little girl sitting on a box and using another for her desk. As one pupil expressed it, "Some of our greatest men didn't have everything convenient while they were getting their education." vjurwuniy, i uon i minK tneroaro many who have the patience of Mrs Gardner, she never gets tired doing for the pupils nnd myself. She is a fighter for education. Mrs. Bernice M.

When this bill passed the House there was one road designated in this district which was from an intersec tion with the' Columbia River High way in Gilliam county, by way of Fos- sH, Condon and thenco up the John Day Valley and down Willow Creek to Vale and Ontario. At my request tho bill was amended in the Senate to provide for another post road from Bend across Harney county by way of Burns and Harney and down to Vale to connect wth the John Day High way and the bill passed both Houses with this amendment. The bill also provides for a forest road in Grant county connecting the post road from the Columbia River Highway up the John Day Valley with the post road from TheDalles to Bend. The tax on automobiles was doubled and the fund arising therefrom, together with the one fourth of a mill heretofore provided for State Highway purpos es will raise sufficient money to pay tho interest on the bonds and provide a sinking fund to pay the bonds at tho end of twenty five years. Mult nomah county alone pays between for ty nnd fifty per cent of the total au tomobile tax and as none of the mon ey is to be expended in Multnomah county it seems to me that when we consider that the bill provides that at least sixty per cent of the post road fund is to be expended in the con struction of roads in Eastern Oregon that every tax-payer in this district 3hould work to get every vote to the polls and assist in every way possible to secure a Road Code that will be a credit to the State and "put Ore gon on tho map." There are many other bills which were passed and which directly effect this section of the State which I will not try to discuss at this time and will say in closing that in connection with my work during tho session that next to the legislation which I was instrumental in securing for the ben efit of my district that meeting and making friends with the boys from the different parts of the State af forded mo tho most pleasure. They were on the whole honest and square, working for their respective districts and for the benefit of the State as a whole, and at no time did any mem ber of either House ever break his promise to me regarding his vote on any bill in which I was interested. Yours very truly, JULIEN A. HURLEY, State Senator, Malheur, Harney and Grant counties. FREE !
