I note in your issue of last Saturday, an article by our esteemed Xounty Agent, Mr. W. W. Howard, advocating the planting of a great deal more wheat in Mal heur County. But docs Mr, Howard realize the enormous amount of oats, shipped the past fall and winter, from Min nesota to Malheur county. Tho lamb- At tho present time Malheur county is the tail-end of the counties of Ore gon in the sale of War Stamps and thrift stamps, reports county chair man, W. F. Homan. But next week, 1. e., March 19th to 23rd is the week set apart by the Na tional Committee for a 'House to House' canvass, and it is our hope that every family in the county will be waited upon by a patriotic solici tor, who will appeal to them to 'lend a hand to Uncle Sam and buy a 'Baby Bond' and nlso start the children with Thrift Stamps.. This is in no sense competitive with liberty bonds but they servo tho same good cause, and each form of loan has its advantages; with War Stamps you get your interest in ad vance and the Stamp is redeemable Jan. 1st, 1923. Every civic society, every patriotic league, every organization of any kind that is calculated to help win the War for democracy, should vie in tho race and make a showing for our country; Will YOU do YOUR part? Oregon's quota for 1918 is $17,500. 000. Malheur county's is $237,000; so far we have bought only about $9, 000; how do you feel about that? Our desire is to have every family in the county to buy one War Stamp and buy additional ones as long as you can do so; nothing but absolute financial disability should keep our people from buying stamps. Remember: these stamps aro re deemable at tho post office any time after ten days notice,' but if you can possibly carry them to maturity, Jan. 1st, 1923, it will help tho Government if you will do so. Will you not help? The local chair, men in the several communities of the county will have supplies and buying will bo a convenience for you. Organize!

Must Build vlka A number of new ordinances aro expected from the council in the next few months. These will have to do mainly with following out the govern ment schedule of conservation and economy. An ordinance which will compel property owners to build sidewalks, concrete walks in tho busi ness districts, stipulating that if it is necessary for the city to build them, tho property owner may bo forced to pay the city, was read for the second time Thursday.

This would leave those west bound, oat laden cars, free to carry steel for our ship yards, and the east bound, wheat laden cars free to carry spruce for our planes. And last but not least, it would save the Malheur Stockman, and Farmer freigh on the grain both ways. Malheur County is a Stock Country, always has been, always will be. Woo! and beaf are almost as essential aa wheat. The world is hungry. Raise food, every ounce you can, and then some. But let us raise that kind of food most adapted to the locality in which we live.

Chester upon their re turn from the Sunday school con-, vention held at Nyssa Tuesday and Wednesday of this week. Dr. Chas. Phipps of La Grande formerly state head of Sunday school work was the principal speaker. His talks this year were of the world war and religion. "Bullets and Bibles" was especially interesting.

Jm f v v v A FRENCH TOWN, Jan. 20, 1918 Dear Friends: I had a number of let ters from Valo today, and it certainly tickled me to know what folks at home were doing. The weather here has taken a change for tho better. It has turned warm all of a sudden, the mud has dried up, and it is very comfortable. Give Mrs. Farmer my best regards, and tell her that we surely miss the home life and homo folks just as much as they miss s. I was glad to hear that the folks got a good place this summer. I may be back home for harvest I surely hope so, but can't tell now how things will turn out. Separated From Talc Boys Well, my old friend Harris and I aro separated at lst. They have placed me in the 103rd Aero Squadron and I am tho only Vale or Ontario boy in tho crowd, although I have a large number of friends in it, and will make new ones. I am getting my mail regularly tnese days, and received another copy of the Malheur Enterprise. It seemed to come direct from tho office and had two of my letters from London in it. I was sur prised to see my letters in print, but it is alright with mo if the people like them. There is so much I would liko to tell, but can't that it may seem sometimes that they aro very uninteresting. I am writing at tho Red Cross to night. They certainly treat us boys fine. The phonograph is playing, and the boys are eating sandwiches, drink. ing coffee and writing letters home. There is u big masquerade ball at the Y. M. C. A. tomorrow night, and everybody is expecting to have good time. French Fruit and Wine The weather in Franco is generally pretty nice. Tho people grow lots of fruit, and aside from Dananas and pineapples, they grow in tho open air most of tho fruit tho people cat. They grow enormous guantities of grapes, for the French wine is famous, and in the places where the people drink lots of cider, the cider apple is quite u product. Stockraising The French people raise quite a lot of stock, and in some portions of tho country oxen, beef and dairy cattle aro abundant. Sheep and swino aro to be seen in the pastures, but tho portions of the country which have been fought over are practically good for "nothing. These things I know, not from actual experience yet, but from personal contract with men who have been in the trenches. Agriculture , Agriculture and mining are other chief industries, and tile most of their cultivated land is in grains. Must close for this time, as I don't know how much of this will be cut out by the censor. With best regards, I am as ever, Yours truly, Pvt. ROBT. A. HARLAND, 103rd, Aero Squadron, A, E. F. Many Attend Meeting Vale Council of Patriotic Service Re ceives Many Applications for Membership Last Sunday afternoon in tho Rex Theatre a large number of residents of Valo and vicinity met at tho call of tho Vale Council of Patriotic Ser vice and heard of tho purpose nnd needs of the organization as explain ed by Chairman Geo. W. Hayes. A splendid program oi two reels of pictures, selections by tho Valo Or chestra and addresses y Judge Dal ton Biggs, and P. J. Gallagher o Ontario, were enjoyed by all present. Application blanks for membership were passed out and nearly everyone present, not nlrcady a member, signi fled their wish to belong to- the council. Tho speakers all &ave iorceful patriotic talks and urged upon the people the necessity of .considering the seriousness of the present situation'. Explains League In regard to tho need and object of the league Wm. Thompson, one of tho directors, wrote the following ex planation We aro now at war with a nation whoso people seem to be tainted with insanity, and mad with dreams of world conquest. The civilized world has been appalled at German atrocit ies and utter disregard for tho rights of others. The fate of Belgium and Serbia has shown us what would have been the fate of tho United States had wo been tho object of Germany's first attack in our then unprepared state of defense, and a German King for the United States was not an impossibility or even an extremely remoto probability. Now that wo aro at war; now that wo OIL SHOWS IN m CAP ROCK Western Pacific Oil and Gas Company Confident of Soon Bringing In Commercial Well A. A. Derrick and M, D. Kelley were visitor?. In Portland this week, dinatlon P? Patriotic and, other ocl know of Germany's brutalities, in humanity and ruthlessness, it becomes the duty of every patriotic citizen of this country to do all hb can to help us win. Tho royal family of Germany must bo deposed. All tHles of nobiltiy must bo wiped out, and to do this Germany must be decisively do featcd. Four things aro absolutely necessary to sustain human life. They are food, shelter, clothing and fire. Our soldiers at the front must bo fed, clothed, sheltered and warmed. Our people at homo must bo fed, clothed, sheltered and warmed. To do this the people at home must unite their efforts. There must bo no, wasted effort. An organization to look af ter the production and conservation of food; to see that sufficient coal is mined and delivered where needed; to look after the health and morals of the community, and to protect the people from possiblo injury by Ger man sympathisers has been organ ized in Vale. This is an organization to which every patriotic citizen should belong. COMMUTES Standing commlttcs appointed by the directors are as follows; Food supply and conservation. Mrs. R. D.

Heavy oil showing, almost sufficient to prove the field and guarantee a small demonstration well have been bailed out for the past week. However those in chargo in cluding tho expert driller and general manager W. D. Meyer, are firmly of the opinion that they are in the cap rock and that within the next fifty feet or less tho drill will enter a paying oil sand of large producing capacity and of the highest grade parafine base oil. See the official report by tho Company on page six. Since the return of Mr. Meyer from Washington nnd other eastern points he hns had nn office building erected :it tho well sito and is now personally on the ground and pushing operations as fast as possible. iho hole is bone dry and in first class condition and every thing is going like clock work. Splendid progress is being made considering tho hardness and toughness of tho cap. rock that tho drill is now encountering. Tho company has purchased an Ovcrlnnd truck to facilitate handling of supplies and are negotiating with the Malheur Homo Telephone Com pany for constructing a line to their office. General manager Meyer is a veteran of tho Spanish War and of several Indian campaigns nnd has erected a flag staff on which old glory is raised and lowered daily with tho sun. This together with the industry displayed by tho entiro crew and tho patriotic importance of in creasing the potroleum supply of tho nation gives a mllitory air and effect about tho entire cnmD. i SEVEN MEN ARE IN NEXT DRAFT Malheur County to Furnish Seven Men in First Call of Second Draft Leave April 1st Tho local draft board has desig nated tho following according their order number as tho seven required to mnko up Malheur County's quota of tho first call in tho second draft.
