MALHEUR COUNTY OFFICIAL PAPER SUBSCRIPTION $2.00 PER YEAR. s. V 1 - - U. S. GEOLOGIST VIEWSNITRATE Engineer and Chemist of American Minerals Producing Company Coming to Vale. E. D. Gallaher, who is developing the Valo Nitrate property, arrived 'from Tacoma Thursday of last week. During his absence he has arranged for his engineer, W,. J. Wood to come and look over the property and some other interests on the Idaho side, En gineer Wood is expected to arrive to day or tomorrow. Mr. Gallaher seems to bo very enthusiastic over the out look here. The American Minerals Producing company of Tacoma, of which Mr. Gallaher is the head, ex pect to have their chemist and lab ratory permanently established here next week with a view of working out and verifying in a practical manner the value of their property. U. S. Geologist Visits. Local interest in (the nitrate fields increased greatly this week on nccount of a few days visit from Hoyt S. Gale, geologist of the United States Geological Survey. Mr. Gale is one of the greatest nitrate" experts in Am erica and his presence here undoubted ly indicates the possibilities of the Vale nitrate deposits. Mr. Gale didn't talk much while here and what he did say was simply about our wonderful climate and our great and beautiful country. He worked a crew of several men for three days and made a careful exam ination. The men of the U. S. G. S. are taught not to talk, but to write and a report will likely be forthcom ing within the next few months. How ever, Mr. Gale has been in the Mal heur county nitrate flclds before and says that he is coming back soon. He is a busy man, belonging to the National Council of Defense, and his time is very valuable to the govern ment. So we cannot interpret his in terest in the local fields, other than indicating his appreciation of their Commercial worth. ASKS LAW BE ENFORCED State Warden Asks Local Sportsmen to be "Sports" and Enforce Game Laws Without Deputy Warden. Due to an unexpected decrease in the revenue received by the Game Commission of Oregon, State Game Warden Car,l D. Shoemaker has noti fied the local game association that it has been necessary to dispence with a large number of the deputy game wardens and that only ten will be re tained in the state at large. In view of this fact the warden asks that lo cal sportsmen see to the strict en forcement of the law and puts it up to every individual nimrod to be a real "sport" in the interests of game preservation. Appoints Local Lady. Mrs. R. E. Weant has been appoint ed by Mrs. Sarah A. Evans to take charge of the work in the Vale field for the women's part in the Liberty Loan campaign. Mrs. Weant will ap point a committee to assist her. 14 Trueills. The Harney County News reports that the Grand jury of Harney county has just reported 14 true bills and one not true bill. This is equivalent to three years work of the grand jurys in Malheur county based on the aver age for the past year. Self Government in City School Open in Splendid Spirit High School Organizes Classes and Student Body. Superintendent Ruring reports that the attendance has been exceptionally good in the Vale schools this fall and that with a fine faculty and -student body all hard at work, a very success ful year is indicated. The play ground has t)cen placed in charge of supervisors during recess and other play periods, and it is the duty of those in charge to not only keep peace, but to add to the interest of play time. ' A return to the plan of student body self government has been arranged and beginning with nex,t week the dis cipline of the high school students will be in their own hands. The faculty and the students expect excellent re sults and when properly organized high school students profit greatly un der this system as they are taught the practical lessons of self govern ment and social relations. The officers have been elected for the student body nnd the classes as follows: Student ' body officers President, INDICATIONS INCREASE Western Pacific Well is in Fine Condi tion and Progressing Rapidly il Showing Appearing. Last week the drill at the Western Pacific Oil well struck a break in the blue shale and encountered a sand strata of several feet thickness con taining a flow of hot mineral water. This was at a depth of about 750 feet and since then the blue shale has been yielding more oil indications and i the spirits of the crew and management have risen to top notch. Superintend ent W. N. Gibb reports that the last water has been successfully shut off and a dry hole maintained. General Manager W. D. Meyer was a visitor in Vale and at the well the first of this week and is well pleased with the progress being made. Mr. Meyer is as enthusiastic as ever and his every effort is being exerted to ward bringing in the first commercial well in the Vale field. Plan Women's Bureau New and Necessary Idea of Govern ment Bureau to Crystalizc Wo man's Value as Nation Builder. The Woman's Committee of the Council of National Defense and the work it has accomplished have demon strated, beyond a shadow of doubt, two facts: first, that the country needs its women for successful prose cution of the war; and second, that it needs a central body of women, close ly linked with the National Govern ment, to direct them. When peace comes and God speed that day the Woman's Committee will be automatically dissolved, along with the other committees and agen cies created to meet the emergencies of war. All the power generated and concentrated by its efforts will be dis sipated. This is neither efficiency nor economy. Pictorial Review directs the atten tion of, the people of America to the importance of crystalizing into perma nent form the ideas and the ideals that have found expression in the Woman's Committee. This can be done in one way and only one, and that is through the creation of a Bureau of Woman's Work in the Government of the Unit ed States. Under such a Bureau it would be possible for the government to coordi nate the work specifically for women that fs now being done in the various existing Departments; and certainly it could translate into national terms all the efforts of women's organiza-, tions that are making for a cleaner, heaL'-iier, happier country. Under such a Bureau the work of the many women's organizations would be vitalized and strengthered, and the Government would be brought into close touch with activities that are of supreme importance to the na tion. Had such a Bureau been in ex istence when war was declared, the women of the country would have been ready for the war emergency, to meet which it has taken a great deal of time, effort, and money. Very slowly there lias come a na tional realization of the need of mak ing women articulate in the Govern ment. Already in nineteen States more than eight million women are entitled to vote in Presidential elec tions. A woman sits in Congress, and when it was found necessary to cre ate a Children's Bureau under Gov ernmental authority, no one thought for a moment of putting a man at the head of it.

Weare sure proud of Van to be the first Vale boy to wear chev rons on his coat sleeve. Harold Gilham played his first game on the first company football team last Sunday. Harold is playing center and is showing them that Vale has to be recognized when it comes to football. The soldiers of Fort Stevens were entertained last evening by the well known Dr. Davis and "Sammie Sis ters" or bugle girls. Dr. Davis gave a very interesting lecture and gave the most of us a better idea why and what we are fighting for. The Coast Defenses of the Columbia combined with the citizens and gave a big rally this afternoon, where we heard some very interesting talks. Yesterday was pay day. It was a very easy matter to get the boys out side to line up for their turn. They were so happy and anxious to get to the pay table it was almost impossi ble to keep order in the lines. Our new Y. M. C. A. building is nearly completed so we will have a place of entertainment during the rainy weather. The 0. C. A. have been having tar get practice the last week. My com pany will have target practice with the field guns and machine guns this week, so we will get to hear some real firing. As taps has sounded I will have to close for this time. We are always glad to hear from Vale. Yours truly, Ray Johnston. CHANGE IN MANAGEMENT E. A. Boyd of Vale Electric Company to Affiliate with Boise Concern L. P. Lumpee to Succeed. E. A. Boyd, who has been general manager of the Vale Electric com pany, since November, 1910, resigns from this position November 1st, on account of having been recently elect ed vice president of the Idaho Electric Supply company of Boise, wholesale and retail dealers in electric material and appliances and automobile ac cessories.

RECORD CROPS IN SIGHT But October Forecast is Lower than in September-Says Government Report of October First. Washington Considerable losses were recorded in some of the country's principal farm crops as the result of conditions in September, but Monday's government report indicated tneie would be record crops on corn, oats, rye, white and sweet potatoes, tobac co and beans.

The men of the allied nations are not on tho farms producing as once they were, but are ntjw fighting, suf fering and dying for a Democracy and Liberty which is ours'. That we were not to be left in peace, we now all know; then our entrance into war was only a selection of the battle ground. Every drop of blood that has reddened France or Belgium's soil is ours by proxy. Then the women and children and armies of our allied Na tions must not starve. We have the food which must be conserved and for warded, for they tell lis food will win the war. The enemy says the same in action, and they are working 2,000,000 pris oners as slaves n fqod production at home and active in submarine utatruc tion of ours on the seas. Only the very fit young men may be soldiers; only the wealthy may buy Liberty Bonds; but every liberty lov ing man, woman, and child in Ameri ca can enlist in tho world's greatest army Hoover's food conservation army that will in the last analysis win tho war. W. B, Ayer, food administrator for Oregon, has pledged that October will see our State signed up. From the 21st to the 28th is named for the cam paign. Malheur county must as ever be in the front rank, and for this pur pose wo are calling, v We have a pledge card to be signed by every House Manager in the county. Everyone1 must realize what a task a few would assume to canvass every home. Some may be missed but if you will write, you will receive all in structions complete. We will not ask for money, but will ask you to follow directions. It costs notliing but self sacrifice. Let us call back to memory, the cost of American Liberty, and with it firm ly resolve That none of the blood was spilled in vain That rrom the fallen hand of our Fathers, we will grasp Liberty's lighted Torch, and at any price carry it to the darkened World. geo. w.

Two win dows were attractively decked for the occasion, one at the Vale Trading com pany and the other at Freeman's store.

Ft. Ward,' Wash., Oct. 6. George H. Currey, Vale, Oregon. Dear Sir: Fort Ward is still on tho map as far as government service is concerned, and the Vale boys aro still in evidence here. Things are moving along rap idly now, and small squads are leav ing day by day for parts unknown. Jack High has gone to Fort Wor den, where ho is doing work in tho Post Exchange, with a view to using their bookkeeping methods in our own fort. Walter Taylor is working in the company office yet, and has a pretty good job as ho is eliminated from com pany duty, only doing one guard a week. Oliver Hall and Floyd' Powell aro both on permanent gunrd, Floyd is gunrding an eight inch battery, and I am the only one in the company doing straight duty. All tho fellows seem to like their work, and no complaints are heard from any one of them. We all envy the Vale boys who were sent to France, but are waiting and hop ing for our turn. We receive the Enterprise every week, and all take turns reading it, but look with interest and expectation for more letters from the boys. I sup pose it is hard to get communications from France, so that portion of the Vale soldiers will be hard to hear from. Trusting business ,is good in the En terprise, and with best regards to the "force", I nm as ever, Yours truly, Rolla R. Roberts. HARNEY DISTRICT PETITIONED Although a remonstrance signed by some ,13 people, six of whom had sign ed the, original petition, was filed with tho county court at the hearing last Thursday to pass upon the petition of those asking for the formation of ar irrigation district, it ns granted and the election is called for Saturday, tho first day of December. This is favorable to he project that has been started and there is every in dicntion that it will go through to a finish at present. The William Hun ley company filed a separate remon strance. The attorneys for the re monstrators pointed out what thej claimed were flaws but the court dn not feel it had jurisdiction and pass ed the petition as prayed for. This is the first step toward the development of this big territory.

That if something that must be determined bj those directly affected and the courts. No doubt there are ways of bringing tho matter to a head and a decisior arrived at. There is not going to be anything accomplished by fighting sr tho quicker it is brought to a conciu sion the better for all concerned. By forming an irrigation district thero is a head to tho organization am thus it may be intelligently brought before the peoplo in a way that al may have, an opportunity of hearing. The country demands that we go tor ward in this matter and bring the fer tilo acres of this big valley under n surer system of crops than in the past nnd this is a way to do it.Burns What's Your Income?
