VALE, OREGON, SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 22, 1919 SUBSCRIPTION $2.00 PER YEAR Irrigation Development in Malheur that Should Be Watered From the LUNCHERS TALK ON IRRIGATION Judge Will R- King of Reclamation Service, Ralph Schncclock and fillers Speak at Luncheon Some mighty interesting talks, a big enthusiastic attendence, an excep . tional menu and 'a most profitable time characterized the Tuesday Bus- Room was made for over fifty dinners and every plate was emptied. Chairman John Boswell first called "on A. W. Reed who outlined plans of the Chamber of Commerce for enter taining the La Grande D. O. K. K. delegation who will be in Vale Sat urday. The Chamber rooms will be open nil afternoon and businessmen aro expected to drop in from time to time to help entertain the visitors. C. C. .Mueller spoke of planning a big reception for the returned sold iers as soon as arrangements can be perfected. W. J. Pinney of Ontario was asked to report the meeting of the Ontario Commercial Club held Monday even ing and he said that 100 men had signed up to support the club, that a paid secretary would be hired. Also the club passed a unanimous resolu tion in favor of organizing a Malheur Count Development league. Mr Pin ney evpressed the hope that Vale, Nyssa and the other commercial or ganizations of the county would fol low suit and that some cooperative boosting and development' would re sult. Will R. King, Chief Counsel for TT.,it.l Ctn. t nl n 1 C. vico- encouraged the local people in their efforts for irrigation dcvelop- goilig ahead with the Warmspringo project. He said that while the gov ernment should have built the Warm springs, he did not question but thai even yet the reclamation department will be able to assist in future units and other projects in Malheur county. Judge King paid a splendid tribute to Engineer-manager John Lewis and said that as soon as he heard that the district had secured his services he felt confident that the people would get a square deal and a good system. He said that either this or the next congress would pass the $100,000,000 appropriation bill for reclamatior work. That altho three hundred mil lion acres needed reclaiming in the United States and it would require much more funds to accomplish any large part of such a program the im mediate future would see a great ex pansion along this line. John Lewis outlined for the lunch ers the system of ditches and diver sions that have been practically de cided upon by the engineers which was very interesting to all present. Ralph H. Schneelock of. Clark, Ken dall & Company, purchasers of the Wnrmsprings District Bonds spoke of some of the reconstruction measures now before the legislature. He spec ially favored House Bill 292 introduc ed by Representative Gallagher of Malheur and Harney counties as a (Continued on Page Eight.) LAND SETTLEMENT AND Future Range Will Be In Private Hands Better for Stockmen And Country. 5,000,000 acres of public land, and its relation to the future of the cattle and sheep industry of south eastern Oregon is clearly discussed in the following article .hvTpm Jones, regis ter of the U. S. Ciw office at Vale. It will pay you to read this article -.nd think about this subject Edi tor's Note. There is at this time, approximately 5,000,000 acres of vacant public land in the Vale district, 95 per cent of which is, in my opinion, properly sub ject to entry under the grazing or stock-raising homestead law. On March 3, 1891, in the face of strenuous objection by the stock rais ing industry, congress enacted legisla tion providing for the creation of for est reserves by the president, at such times and of such lands as he may deem proper. Many such reservations have been created, from time to time and provisions for grazing privileges therein, under the supervision of the government, have been made. It Is now generally conceded that, the creation of these reserves, has been the salvation of the stock-raising In dustry of 1h north-west. " Not-with-standing united opposition by the stock-men and live stock or ganizatiens of all the stock-growing NETHERLANDS FURNISH A GRACIOUS HOSTESS The arrival of Jonkheer J. T.

Wilson ReadsCovenant. President Wilson was the centra figure of the peace conference Febri. iry 14 when he read the report of thi committee for the establishment c .he league of Nations, which provide 'or a union of nations to settle futuri difficulties. The -outstanding- point of the agreement as framed were: The executive council to consist o nine nations, and .to meet at least once a year. A permanent international secretary to be appointed. The Presi dent of the United States is to ca the first meeting. A majority of the states represented at meetings wil decide all problems.

All treaties shall be made pub lic by registration with secretary-general. The small nations would be pro tected. Amendments to the covenant to be made by three quarters vote. Virgil Staples of Ontario was a Vale visitor Friday. RANGE IS DISCUSSED states, Congress, on the 29th day ot December 191G, enacted legislation which, in my opinion, will eventually prove to be more beneficial to our country generally and particularly to the stock-growing industry, than that which provides for the creation of for est reserves. I have reference to what is commonly known as the "grazing" or ' 'stock.raising" homestead law, which provides for the efitry, by a qualified homesteder, of C40 acres, oi one section, of land which is chiefly valuable for grazing purposes and for raising forage crops. This question had been before con gress, for many years and owing to the strong opposition by the stock raising interests, the law finally enact ed, was a "make shift" but it is the law at present, will never be repealed, has been and will be amended, until it will become satisfactory to home stead entrymen, generally. The law, as enacted, reserves to the United States, all coal and other min erals in the land, together with the right to prospect for, mine and re move the same. Requires that, the land must not contain merchantable timber; that it must not be suscept ible of irrigation from any known source of water; that it must not con tain any water hole, or other body of water needed or used by the public for watering purposes and must be (Continued On Page Five) ARMENIAN DRIVE DATES EXTENDED s Bad Weather Adds Weeks Time to Drive But Confident That Coun ty Will" Go Over Top.

MALHEUR SOLONS MAKE Malheur County Representatives Make Known Their End of State Says Robert D. Lytle. The following communication is written especially for the Malheur Enterprise by Robert D. Lytic of Vale who is now chief clerk of .the Judicial committee of the Senate Salem Oregon, ebruary 18 (Special to the Enterprise.) As the witter is pushing his pen along In tho privacy of the lurge room ber of Enrolled Bills, Judiciury, Min off the Senate Chamber, set aside for ing, Public Lands and Roads and High- Mho Clerk of the Judicial Committee, the melodious voice of our Senator from Malheur, Harney, and Grant is wafted thru the doorway, and I pause to listen. The subject is "Oleomar garine" (Senate Bill No. 230) and the question is whether or not it shall be subject to a tax. Senator Walter Pierce of Union county, by his bill, proposes to tax dealers in this substi tute of the concentrated essence of the gentle "bossy" and Senator Hurley feels that "butter of the poor' should not be levied upon, A lively debate is ensuing. And thus I wag along thru the routine of the day, stopping from time to time to liStcn to the views (as expressed in debate) of different men upon different subjects; 1 and as I listen comes the query "does j he rcully believe what he gays, or ill all tbiy cajnaflpguei'' CONSIDER ROAD AND LAND LAWS Malheur County Men Take Prominent Position in Closing Days of Legislative Session. The Road Bond bill and P. J. Gallag her's program for Irrigation and drain age deyelopment in Oregon are occupy ing the closing days of the 30th legis lature. Representative Gallagher sent tho following- special report to the Enter prise on Wednesday. "We are, at this present moment, in the midst of tho debate on the ten million road bond bill. In all likeli hood this bill will pass, in fact it is almost certain. My constitutional a mendment guaranteeing the payment of the interest on irrigation and drain age bonds will also very likely pass as iits on its way thru the house at the present time. These two mea sures are the only ones so far looking towards reconstruction which have tho .Serious consideration of tho members of the Legislature. There are a lot of other schemes proposed, but all call for large appropriations or the ap pointment of commissions and aro more or less fanciful. There has been very little, if any, vicious legislation passed, altho there have been u great many bills of that nature introduced. "I have several important bills still, in the ways and means committee, up on which I nm assured of a favorablo report, and if they pass they will be important aides in the carrying out of drainage and reclamation, work and-in tho biological survey in tho killing off of coyotes or predatory- animals." Senator Julian. A. Hurley reports "There is no question but what the $10,000,000 bond will pass; that tho tax on automobiles will be doubled; that a tax of lc per gallon will bo put on gasoline; that a tax of Mc per gallon will bo -put on distillate; and that tho property tax will be increased to 1 mill. This will provide more than enough money to tako care of the $10,000,000 bond bill; and the addition al fund will bo used on market roads and other roads designated in the bond bill of two years ago. I believe that tho commission will complete all of . ... the roads in Malheur County designat ed in the bond bill of two years ago. "I was able to get my bill through the Senate today appropriating $500 a year for two years fpr tho Malheur County Fair, and there is no question but what this will pass the House. New Millinery Opens Tuesday of this week Mrs. P. Q. Eberly opened her new milinery par lors in the Arlington hotel block one door west of the First National Bank.

D. arc at the Vale Hot Springs Sanitor ium this week enjoying the helpful benefits of the Springs. HOME DISTRICT KNOWN In all the debates in which Senator Hurley has taken part I have yet to hear him muko a statement that did not seem, to me at least, to "express his honest conviction in the matter. Tho people of Malheur county ore no doubt interested to know if their re presentatives to the legislature bear any weight or carry any influence. I can best answer that by sighting the committees which our men have been assigned. Scnntor Hurley is chnirmnn of the Irrigation Committee and mem- T 11 . l. t 1 ways, iiepresentauve uanagner in on the Irrigation, Mining and Revision of Laws committees. You will see by this that ouf men aro well placed as Irrigation, Judic iary, Revision of Laws, Roads and Highways and Public Lands aro somo of the most important standing com mittees and of special interest to south Eastern Oregon. I have not had the opportunity of. hearing Representative Gallagher on tho floor of tho house but ho has tho reputation of being one of the best fighters in the lower house and is re4' cognized as one who must bo reckoned' with and u power not to bo ignored. Our representatives are working in perfect harmony and are accomplish- ing somo real, genuine, constructive (Continued, on Page Eight )
