Ontario National Bank Bids
in Block of Road Bonds
Seven Bids Above Par
Offered County
Malheur county received a nice
premium on the block of $130,000 of
road bonds which were sold the first
of this week to the Ontario Na
tional bank. The sum of $2,737.80
above par value of the bonds was
offered by the Ontario financial
concern and its bid being the high
est was accepted by the court.
The bids offered for the bonds in
dicate the high tone of the bond
market and show the desirability pf
bonds of the character which the
county just sold.
Following are the bids and
amuunt of premium offered: Citi
zens Bank of Portland, $1000; E. H
Rollins & Sons of Portland, $1001;
Clark-Kendall of Portland, $1368;
Lumberman's Trust company of
Portland ,$1897; Ontario National
bank, $2737.80; Palmer Bond and
Mortgage Company of Salt Lake,
$847; Ferris & Hargrave, of Spo
kane, $556.
The sum of $80,000 has been
pledged by the county to the state
highway commission for the coun
ty's part of road work which is al
ready under way and that amount
of the money received from the
bond sale will be turned over to the
commission.
ine rest or the bond money- or
$50,000 was voted by the people at
the election which authorized those
bonds for road work from Nyssa to
Jordan Valley and that is where it
will be spent, according to County
Judge E. H. . Test. That official
asserted the county would proceed
with the construction of the Nyssa
Jordan Valley road this year.
DOG LiCENSfTUPHELO
SUPREME COURT DECISION
MAY HAVE FAR REACHING
EFFECT UPON TAXES.
Far reaching complications of the
double taxation question are pre
dicted by some Malheur county men
because of the decision handed down
this week by the Supreme Court
making valid the dog license fee.
The law was upheld in the suit
brought against its validity by Col
onel E. Hofer of Salem, who now de
clares he is not through with the
law but will' place its repeal before
the people at an election.
The dog license law has never
been' popular in Malheur county be
cause the stockmen and particularly
the sheepmen must maintain quite a
band' of dogs to assist in taking care
of their stock and they have always
contended they were being forced to
pay 'a double taxation as the dogs
are entered as personal property on
the tax roll. '
"If it is legitimate for the state
to collect a license fee from dogs
and at the same . time levy taxes
against them I see no reason why
the same thing cannot be done with
automobiles," said ' Ex-county Judge
George W. McKnight. . "In my opin
ion the - decision of the supreme
court; makes that; legal ' and there
will be an awful howl go up ' over
the state when that is done. I think
the decision of the supreme court
will have a very far reaching effect
before its influence upon other tax
ation ' matters other than ' that of
dogs has ceased."
County Assessor Andrew 1 ' M.
Graham is of the opinion that the1
decision .. makes ' it permlssable to
place automobiles upon the tax rolls
for taxation and he is going to take
the matter up at once with the State
Tax commission and, unless stopped
by that body, will assess automo
biles this year.
County Clerk H. S. Sackett has
not collected dog licenses since the
first of the year because of the
pending suit before the supreme
court, but the decision upholding the
law makes it necessary for all own
ers of dogs to pay their license fees
again this year.

COUNTY
BONDS AD
Attempts to Side
Step Agreement
Highway.. Commission.. Says..
Road Work in County
During 1922.
No
Action was taken a few days ago
by the state highway commission re
garding the survey of the Central
Oregon Highway west of the Vale
Burrelle section which indicates that
the commission- is trying to side
step the agreement made to the
county court some time ago on the
construction of the Old Oregon
Trail.
County Judge Test has requested
that the survey "be made and the
commission wrote to- Judge Test
this week asserting it did not see its
way clear to do this, unless the
county wanted to pay half of the
cost, because the construction of
the Old Oregon Trail would take all
of Malheur county's share of state
road money for 1922.
"This Is contrary to the agree
ment made with the county when
the Old Oregon" Trail was definitely
decided upon,' said County Judge
Test. "Chairman Booth himself
made the statement to our delega
tion that the money for the Old Ore
gon Trail work had already been
provided for. And the court inter
preted this to mean that this work
would not be charged against the
1922 share of road money which
Mainour county has justly coming
to it. I shall take the matter up
immediately with the commission.1
TWELVE HORSES DROWNED
Herd Breaks Through When Driven
Across the Ice
Twelve valuable horses belonging
to Rutherford Brothers of Malheur
drowned in Reservoir No. 3 Satur
day. The horses were driven by
three men who were riding for Ru-
tnertord mothers, and they sup
posed there was no danger in cross
ing the reservoir as it was frozen
over and covered with snow. After
venturing several yards on ' the thin
ice it gave way and the horses went
through the ice. Luckily the horse
men had bnly reached the brink of
the reservoir or they probably would
have lost their lives.
STATE CHAMBER ACTIVE
ORGANIZATION WOULD COM
BINE ALL COLONIZATION
WORK UNDER ONE HEAD.
The Oregon State Chamber of
Commerce will continue its active
work in colonizing and settling the
unoccupied land of the state, and
will bend every effort toward the
merging of all land settlement
lgencies throughout the state during
ihe coming year, according to an
outline of the future policy of the
Tganization made public at Portland
his. week. i , - .
The report, which is the outgrowth
f the annual meeting of the or
ganization on January 3, empha
sizes the fact that the State Cham
ber, due to the active cooperation of
.he railroads serving this state, ex
ecutive departments at Salem, and
all state-wide organizations, has be
come established as the centra me--!ium
through which prospective set
tlers are put in touch with the vari
ous' districts of the state in which
they desire to locate.
An important development in the
State Chamber's plan of placing ex,
''oldiers oh the land under the pro
visions of the Oregon bonus law,
was announced in the report. Robert
Q. Case of the State ' Chamber, an
ix-service man, has been appointed
secretary of the State Land ComT
mittee of the American Legion,' and
will immediately take up the , work
of compiling data in regard to. spe
cific tracts of land available for sol.
Jier settlement.
' Thomas A. Sweeney, chairman of
che State Land Committee of the
American Legion, in announcing the
appointment of the secretary, de
clared that the committee would
take up the active work of soldier
settlement through the State Cham
ber. "Oregon ex-soldiers who desire to
ua the bonus as a means of buying
a home should address the American
Legion State Land Committee, Ore
gon building, Portland," said Mr.
Sweeney. "We expect to work
closely with the State Chamber in
this matter, as that organization
has complete data on file relative to
the various tracts of land ready for
settlement."
Other matters taken up in the re
port include the announcement that
a new departm-nt of Organization,
and Service, as recommended by the
State Association of Commercial
Secretaries, wi'l e Ink; itutcd by the

NICHOLS TRIAL FOR
MURDER SET JAN.30
Five Criminal Cases Are
Disposed of This Week
One Trial and Conviction;
Three Plead Guilty
Archie Nichols, buckaroo, indicted
last week. by the' grand jury of mur
der in, the first degree, .will go on
trial for his life in the circuit court
of Malheur "tounty before Judge
Dalton Biggs,1" beginning ' Monday,
January 30. District Attorney R. D.
Lytle will prosecute the case and J.
W. McCulloch, of Ontario, will de
fend -Nichols.
Nichols" is'. charged with shooting
William Hicks at' Jordan Valley sev
eral weeks during a brawl in which
Hicks was fighting with Jim Mills in
an old cellar. This is the third
murdes trial to bo held before Judge
Biggs during the last IS months.
. Five of the criminal cases . on the
docket for this term of court were
disposed of this week, one by trial
and conviction three by pleas of
guilty and one by dismissal.
Howard Samuel fierce was con
victed of robbing" Wilson Brothers
store at Nyssa. He was prosecuted
by District Attorney Lytle and rep
resented in trial'-- by ChaSv K. Cran-
dall. At the time rierce was ar
rested in Salt Lake City, Arthur
Hall, was taken .also and charged
with ' participation in' the crime. But
at the time of trial the state was un
able to locate the only witness who
could connect Hall with the crime
and the only way the state could
connect in any; way Was simply evi
dence that 'Hall ' had some of the
stolen goods in his possession at
Salt Lake. It was necessary for the
case against Hall to be dismissed.
Manual Montaya, indicted for lar
ceny in a store; hidward McEvoy,

EFFECTIVE RABBIT POISONING
Great Work Being Done By Mallett
County; ; -
The jack rabbits are being dealt
with severely by the farmers of the,
Mallett district through an organize"
campaign going on there under the
direction of Committeeman . Foiles,
in cooperation with the county farm
bureau.-- Rabbits are being poisoned
by the hundreds, and those leading
the battle hope to put the pest to
rout in such a manner, as to cut the
loss of hay in stacks .this winter, to
minimum. . Already the commu
nity has pooled orders to purchase
29 ounces i of strychnine from the
county agent, at the special price
made possible through , the rodent
control revolving fund, aruj they have
secured, an equal .quantity of poison
without cost from the Biological Sur
vey donation to the farm bureau to
assist communities which " make
cleanup campaigns. This work is
also in progress in several other
communities and a number of, in
dividuals are posoningi rabbits in
various parts of the,- county with
strychnine secured from; the county
agent. j . ' ,
E
WOULD ELIMINATE: COMPETI
TION BETWEEN CITIES
OF NORTHWEST.
At a meeting in Spokane early
this week held by representatives of
municipalities and commercial ' or
ganizations throughout the north
west it was decided' to start a cam
paign to make the auto tourist
camps in the northwest as uniform
as possible.
Such a plan, if carried out, will
benefit the entire northwest, accord
ing to men who have given-the sub
ject considerable study. "It .will
eliminate the competition ". between
r.ome pf the cities that are supply
ing many fancy frills at their tour
ist camps in order to draw the tour
ist from the neighboring town. A
uniform charge of 50 cents a night
was decided upon at the meeting
and it was decided that this money
tihoul -represent service in ,the form
of caretaker, lights an fuel.
The Enterprise poposed a plan
like this months ago after on in
campH had been made by the editor,
camps' had been made by the edditor.
And at, that time the city was urged
to take steps to make the service at
the Vale tourist camp conform with
that of other, camps in the north-

B-r-r-r Says Vale
This Winter Week
First
Really Col1 Weather
Winter Grips Malheur
County Now.
of
Old Man Winter blew his frosty
breath upon the thermometers in
Malheur county this week and the
little red mercury scurried to cover
in its round nest below.
The government thesmometer reg
istered five degrees below zero Wed
nesday morning. This is the first
zero weather of the winter. It has
lasted all week.
. Only a small blanket of snow cov
ers the low lands in the northern
part of the county but back in the
hills the snow increases until sev
eral feet cover the grounds in the
mountains.
LAND SUIT LONG DRAWN
SUIT TO RECOVER DITCH STOCK
TAKES UP EVENINGS
OF COURT.
!
Every night this week the circuit
court has been taken up with ses
sions of the suit brought by the Ore
gon & Western Colonization Com
pnny - against the Eastern Oregon
Land Company to recover 850 shares
of ditch stock in the Ontario-Nyssa
Ditch Company, commonly known as
the Shoestring ditch. The suit
began on Monday but it was appar
ent it could not be ended in time
for other cases which were set for
trial so it has been continued each
evening of the week.
Thursday evening the contending
parties asked for an adjournment to
talk over the tangle and it was
thought probable the ' ease might be
settled out of court.
According to the allegations of
the plaintiff corporation, it deliver
ed to the defendant 850 shares of
ditch stock with the understanding
they, , the defendants, would apply
water to lands, improve the lands
and sell them and pay the plaintiffs
from the proceeds obtained from the
sale of these lands.
Contrary to agreement, the plain
tiff further avers, the defendants
are not offering the lands for sale
but are retaining them and using
the ditch stock at the ""same time.
The value of the stock is $25 a share.
LETTUCE MEETING SOON
FARMERS INTERESTED IN HEAD
LETTUCE GROWING WILL
GATHER AT ONTARIO.
There will be a meeting to take
up the growing of head lettuce -at
Ontario on Friday, January 20th,
beginning at 10 a. m; Mr. E. R.
Bennett, who is the Idaho special
ist on this line of work, and Mr. R.
II. Young and Mr. Lee Johnson,
both practical growers of Canyon
county, have been invited to speak
on various divisions of the subject.
The meeting will be held in the city
hall and it is expected that the
room will be packed with farmers
who are interested in getting into
the. head lettuce game, as there is a
great deal of interest in the propo
sition at present owing to the great
success and large profits made du
ring the past few years by head
lettuce growers in different places
in Idaho.
The meeting Is being arranged by
County Agent Breithaupt in coop
eration with the county farm bureau
department of truck and vegetable
crops of which G. W. Lattig is the
chairman. Invitations have been ex
ended to growers from adjoininng
counties to be present and all farm
ers or- others interested in the sub
ject in Malheur county are invited.
The program will deal mostly with
production methods.
At recent meeting on head let
tuce growing held in Caldwell over
one thousand persons were in at
tendance. It is estimated that suf
ficient acreage will be panted to
make 1000 acres of the product next
year to be shipped from southern
Idaho and Malheur county. That the
market for this is assured seems to
be the opinion of those who have
been in the game for om time,
provided the growers specialize on
quality and continue to hold the pre
mium advantages they have gained
on the eastern markets. - There are
good many fancy points on grow
ing head lettuce little understood by
persons who have not had experi
ence, a number of which will prob
ably be brought out next Friday.

HIGHWAY BY 1925
Grant County Judge Asks
Help of Vale In Forcing
Early Completion of This
Trans-State Hif hway
County Judge Orin . L. ' Patterson
of Grant county, is asking that Vale
get behind the completion of the
John Day highway and assist Grant
county , in its. efforts fr the com
pletion of this trans-s: ite highway
before 1925..
In a letter to . Judge George E.
Davis, of Vale, Judure Patterson
says the units between Prairie City
and the forest line on Dixie moun
tain have . been surveyed and that
crews are working on the survey
from Cole's bridge to the Valade
ranch and they hope to have these
units under construction , by next
season. The Forest service is sur
veying the mountain unit - from
Huckleberry Flat to Unity. ,
In Malhur county the John Day
highway is well under way. , The
first 2G miles out of Valo ts Brogan
will be completed early next season
as all that remains to - be done is
graveling the stretch between Jamie
son and Brogan.
The road has been graded from
Brogan to Cow Valley and county
officials believe - the stule highway
department will see tho' justice of
graveling this stretch next season
bcause the costly grading work will
be wasted before long unless a sur
face is put on the road. It is cut
ting up in stretches very badly this
winter.
Conditions look favorable for the
completion of this highway within a
few years.
DAIRY CLUBS PROGRESS

v.
Seventy-three club members of
Malheur county are keeping records
on at least two dairy cows apiece.
The records include . the weight of
the milk, the test - of the milk and
the amount of feed consumed. These
club members are only acquiring
that knowledge necessary to the
successful dairyman but are render
ing a very real service to Malheur
county. .' - '-, s t
The farmer, the merchant and the
banker with the help , of the War

in bringing -dairy' Cows into -this
county. . The boys and girls are do
ing their part by demonstrating' the
necessity and practibility of keep
ing records in order to determine
if the cow is a paying proposition. :
The communities of Oregon Slope,
Nyssa, Big Bend, Whits Settlement
and Vale have stand; .rd clubs in
this project. The clubs in the Wade
and Jefferson communities fcsve not
yet secured a leader, ai.d the Coun
ty Club agent is meeting with them
once a month.
It will be interesting to watch the
results obtained by these Junior
dairymen. While a gr .t many in
accuracies will probabl;-', occur dur
ing the first two or- three, months
due to the inexperience of the boys
and girls, the results at the end of
the project year will 1 fairly ac
curate index not only to the cow's
producing ability but also as to
whether she is a money maker or a
boarder, as determined "by the net
income.

driving was wrecked by an early
morning train.! The driver ' was
making his first ' trip that morning
and the Diamond T was heavily

alone, and so was unaware of the
approaching train. ,
The truck was on the crossing
near the Bulley Creek bridge when
the train struck it, throwing it sev

driver was thrown clear of the
truck, and than fell in the midst of
the wreckage. . He was not fatally
injured, but the machine was dam
