DON'T HE A QUITTER.
Some day, wo hope before long, the Warmsprings, the Willow Alder,
the Owyhee and other irrigation projects will be waterting 100,000 acres
of fertile land in Malheur county. Many benches and small valleys will
be producing GO bushel wheat crops by a system of spring flooding. Oil
refineries will bo keeping pipe lines flowing full with golden liquid from
here to Portlnnd. Nitrate reducing" plants will be furnishing America with
explosives and the Northwest with fertilizer. Woolen mills will bo manu
facturing tho winter covering of our sheep into clothing and our stockmen,
our farmers, our cities will prosper far beyond your best hopes. Don't be
a quitter now, and bo sorry then. Stick to your home community and help
each other to better things in store..
Pa Pa Pa Pa Pa
KEEP THIS IN MIND.
The Warmsprings project is one of the cheapest constructed irriga
tion systems ever contemplated in the Northwest, figured on an acreage
basis. It offers the minimum in difficult engineering problems, yet prom
ises the quickest returns in both time and money. It is tho key to all kinds
of development in Southeastern Oregon. Present prices of produce make
this nn exceptionally opportune time to put the water on the land. Gov
ernment aid would be gladly welcomed and was seriously hoped for. Yet
one year's delay will cost more than the interest on bonds sold to private
investors. Tho money market is not entirely inactive. A united and ear
nest effort by all interested parties may yet be able to build tho project
this year.

MEN SHOULD GIVE FUNDS, AS WOMEN DO WORK.
The Red Cross workers of Malheur county are limited in the amount
of work they can do by the amount of money they can secure to purchase
materials. This important work deserves the support of everyone. A few
large donations of one or several hundred dollars to the local chapters and
auxiliaries would bo gratefully received and in no Other work will a dol
lar go as far as it will in tho Red Cross. Of course, ten dollars, five dol
lars, or one dollar, if that is all you can possibly spare, will bo just as wel
come. However, we urge those who can give more to write a generous
check so that others who cannot give money can do more work. That is
a fair proposition. Think is over.

CAN WE DO IT? '
The president of the Deutsche Rank of Berlin said recently that tho
people of Germany are now saving three billion dollars annually of what
they used to spend in beers nnd liquors. There are about 70,000,000 peo
ple in tho German empire.
President Wilson has asked Americun men, women and children to
save two billion dollars in ono year to lend to our government at four per
cent to hcl) win tho war.
There are 100,000,000 of us. Cnn we do it? We can. Will wo do
it? We will. How? Simply by "cutting out" the little extravagances to
our daily lives that add nothihg to our strength of character, nor to our
health or happiness; by cutting down on our candy and gum expenditures;
by going to the "movies" less frequently; by smoking less; by drinking
water instead of fancy colored concoctions, and by practicing a hundred and
ono little economies that will save a penny here and there.
When tho pennies hnve been snved Uncle Sam has provided simple
machinery with which to take care of them. Twenty-five cents buys
Thrift Stamp. Sixteen Thrift Stamps pasted on n card given you when
you buy the stamp with 12 cents additional will buy n War Savings Stamp
Twenty Wnr Savings Stamps pasted on a War Savings Certificate, given
. with your first War Savings Stamp, become virtually a government bond,
for which the Government will pay you $100 in five years. A War Sav
ings Stamp is just as safe as your country. And the more Stamps sold
right now, tho safer your country will be.
There will bo no centralized "drive" to raiso the $17,000,000 Uncle
Sam, has asked Oregon to furnish by the sale of War Savings Stamps. The
campaign will last throughout the New Year. There will bo no effort to
"drive" tho people of Oregon into the purchaso of War Savings Stamps
and Thrift Stamps. Uncle Sam wants Oregonians to develop and practice
habits of thrift to such an extent that thoy will do their own "driving"
and aid in sending Oregon "over tho top" with colors flying,
n a p a r
Wheat, hogs, coal, railroads, and many other commodities and insti
tutions tiro being protected by standardizing prices. Why not limit the
war profits of tho munition maker who Iins no profit except by tho misfor
tune of others? Guns and ammunition should bo made only under govern
ment management and ownership.

Join tho Vale Chamber of Commerce. It will cost you but two or

METAL PRODUCTION IN 1917
Oregon's Metal Production During the
Past Year, By Member of
Geological Survey
A preliminary estimate of the pro
duction of metals from Oregon mines
in 1917, compiled by Charles G. Yale,
of the San- Francisco office of the
United States Geological Survey,
shows a material decrease from that
of 101G. The output of gold in 1916
was $1,902,149, and tho estimated out
put in 1917 is $1,4GG.419, a decrease
of $435,700. The output of silver in
191G was 231,342 ounces, valued at
$lD2,Glfi, and the estimated output in
1917 is 115,097 ounces, a decrease of
115,015 ounces in quantity and of $58,
04G in value. The output of copper
in 191G was 3,501,88G pounds, valued
at $881,144, and the estimated output
in 1917 is 1,508,039 pounds, valued
at $410,349, a decrease of 1,993,247
pounds in quantity and' of $470,795
in value. A small quantity of lead
was produced in 191G, but no produc
tion of this metal has been reported
for 1917.
There are about a Tiumlred produc
tive mines in Oregon, and although
two-thirds of them are placer mines,
tho larger output of gold comes from
tho deep mines, and, of course, vir
tually all the output of the other met
als. There were no important dis
coveries in any of tho mining dis
tricts of Oregon in 1917, and no great
'ncroase in the output of any of the
more productive properties. The en
tiro output of orp from all the deep
mines combined does not oxcecd 1G0,
100 tons. Most of the placer mines
ire worked by the hydraulic system,
but tho three dredges now in use pro
duce far more gold than all the other
placer operations combined. Tho larg
?st output of gold and other metals
in 1917 came, as usual, from Baker
county, which produces annually
about 90 per cent of nil tho gold
mined in the state. Josephino county
is next in production.
No uso calling tho Russians hard
names they're accustomed to them.
