quietly in the Ada County jail at
Boise as a result of work largely
by Marshal Harry Farmer of Ontar

Thursday morning about 4 o'clock
Farmer discovered three men in the
alley near the rear of a Jewelry store
in Ontrin TW PvnW.inn,l tv,i.
presence by saying they were "look
ing for a place to flop". He escort
ed them to the city hall where he
intended to secure the keys to his
free rooming house, but the men bolt
ed and get away. This aroused his
suspicion of their character and he
started on their trail, soon running
across an Idaho Car with side cur
tains and a cartridge belt in the front
seat,
Two of the men were located later
in the morning in Parma and return
ed to Ontario where Sheriff Lee Noe,
Chief of Police Larry Malony of
Nampa and Sheriff Post of Boise had
gathered. The men were examined and
both found to be multiple termers.
One of the men is Joe McManion,
formerly of an Indiana institution
where he was sent for a hold-up job
and the other one is a Walter Smith
who resided for a while nt different I
times in San Qucntin, California, j
Smith is also wanted in Boise for
forgery of cheeks. Evidence secured

I SHOULD MARK THE ROADS
Road Signs Needed Creston Resident
Points out Necessity Travelers
Go Miles Out of Way
In writing to the editor of the En
terprise Miss Esther Rogers of Cres
ton points out the need of road signs
in that section of the county. Anyone
who has traveled in Malheur county
can appreciate the need of marking
our roads. Her letter in part follows:
There should be some signs put
along the roads in Malheur County,
At least three are especially needed
in this community. There is no guide
for the many travelers coming thru
the country and there should be a
sign for the branch road that goes to
Crowley or Vale, then there should be
one for the road between Crane and
Riverside and one between here and
Crane that branches off of the road
that goes to Riverside. Perhaps you
would know whom to inform as what
seems to be everybody's business is
given no attention while the travelers
I go miles out of their way just for the
lack of a sign to direct them
1 1 -
don't think I am a Kicker but the
public would be very thankful for the
signs.

PORTLAND SHOULD

Final Story of Cross State and Return
Trip of Editors of the
Enterprise
Last week in relating some of the
impressions gained by our auto trip
across Central Oregon and back thru
Northeastern Oregon, we mentioned
that there was need of some organi
zation or factor that would bring ab
out a better realization of the com
mon problems of the great Eastern
Oregon Empire. The big problem of
this two-thirds of the state is devel
opment. The various communities and
counties rich is possibilities, yet weak
politically, have acted in past years
like a hungry pack of park wolves,
fighting one another for the scraps
of patronage thrown over the fence
by the park keeper.
The only organization at the present
time which is working for a square
deal for all of Oregon is the State
Chamber of Commerce and thru
George Quayle's insight and sense of
fairness some definite good is being
, . B
planned
i Another well known fact is the ig-
thru the wilds of unknown regions. Let
; them make their way to Hood river
j0Ver the Columbia highway, but there
! they should be met by competent
them about, but let them come along
and see for themselves.
Among the noticeable things that
commend themselves to the tourist
are the splendid hotels in some of the
towns, Bend, Wasco, Pendleton and
The Dalles and other places being
specially favored. Good schools also
stand out in prominence as a measure
of worth of a community, and Hepp
ner stands among the first. For real
live push and prosperity nothing ex
cells the tonic effect of payrolls and
as a proof of this Bend has grown in
the past five years or so from a trad
ing point of about 1000 people to a
city of six or seven thousand. Other
places excel in various things; among
them is the LaGrande City park, the
finest of its kind in the state, while
Baker water is without doubt the
best in Oregon, although Portland's
Bull Run is better advertised. Pen
dleton has a sensible speed limit, 20
miles per hour, no this is the only
town we passed thru where we did not
break the law and left with a clear
conscience.
After all, the towns are such a
little part of Eastern Oregon that the
most interesting sights are seen in
the fields and mountains where the
wealth of the empire is made. The
magnificent grain fields along the Co
lumbia river counties, the fat cattle
throughout Central Oregon, the or
chards and vineyards in the Hood River
country, the stately pines on the Blue
Mountains and on "our" side of the
Cascades worth much more to see
thun to read about.
All of this is fine, mighty fine, but
we are glad that we live in Malheur
county. Here we raise the best corn,

O-W Colonization Co. Sells 65 Tracta
Under Warmsprings Project
Davidson Compliments Work
Since the last published report the
Oregon Western Colonization com
pany have sold 12 Ki acres of land
under the Warmsprings project which
amount brings the total sales of their
holdings to over 4000 acres. These
sales have averaged about GO acres
to the family state Agent W. J. Pin
ney and will mean a direct increase
of 65 families in the valley from Bale
of our holdings alone.
W. P. Davidson, president of the
colonization company, upon his last
visit over the Warmsprings project
was highly pleased with the progress
of the work and complimented the
people of the district and the direc
tors in securing such a high class of
construction thruout. Especially did
he praise the work of Superintendent
E. J. Corillo who is in charge of
building the big arch dam at River
side. Mr. Davidson also visited the Ocho
co project near Prineville and says
that while they have a splendid irriga
tion system it has taken them much
longer and will cost more per acre
than the Warmsprings project. Still
over there many pieces of dry land
have been resold several times and
doubled in value sumply in anticipa.
tion of the benefits of the water which
will be delivered the coming year.
