BY COUNTY NOT AWAKE
GOOD ROADS MOVEMENT
Plead for Land Development
Settlers In Harney county declare
the situation has developed down to
two main points which the people of
the state must balance in their minds,
says Mr. Clark. Wither this district
will be devoted to supporting wild
birds which at the best are only mi
gratory, or the people will be al
lowed to continue the development of
the land and its products by contin
uing their irrigation schemes.
The people of this district are not
lining up to put wild game out of
existence in this territory, according
to Mr. Clark. They have no objec
tion to Malheur lake being main
tained as a bird preserve if they are
allowed to draw their water supply!
from the tributory rivers. They are.
thourh, against any plan which n.ay
be undertaken to keep the level of
the water in the lake at a certain
height.
One of the arguments that the
opponents to the plans of the settlers
bring out strong is the fact that
either private agencies or owners of
land contingent to the boundaries of
the lake would attempt to make
private capital out of the drainage.
I..UI.1 Issue State Matter
And land that might be reclaimed
iliey explained, would go to the state
as a part of their school lands. It
would be a matter which the state
would handle, they say, and not a
matter out of which any set of indi
viduals might profit.
Another argument that these peo
ple submit is the fact that this land
as it lies at the present time allows
a preat grazing range for thousands
of head of cattle, which during the
dry spells are not able to obtain fresh
crazing slots in other districts of
tlits great valley.
During 1917 and 191S, two very
dry seasons were experienced which
might have been fatal to the owners
of irrigated land had they not been
able to supply their thirsty acres
with water from the Silvles and Bllt
zen rivers. Mr. Clark says that this
question is uppermost in the minds
of every inhabitant of this district,
for it means the threatening of their
existence, and, he says, man never
fights harder than when his existence
is threatened. Oregon Journal.
slderallon and recognition of Ihetr
respective problems in the Hue of de
velopment and progress.
The subject will be placed In the
hands of competent men to bring
before the meeting In concise manner
with every detail placed before those
present to act upon. This should
have attention as It will be the means
of our securing recognition on our
Irrigation, roads and such problems
as are now confronting us.

Mrs. Schwartt, who has recently

lieve it will be a greater success in
future but would not advise having
them too often."
James Dalton of Lunaburg, Dalton

said: "Our business on Dollar Day

more luterest than we expected. We
would be glad to participate when
ever the other merchants consider it

RECURRENCE OF "FLU"
EPIDEMIC STOPS SCHOOL
Public school was reopened last
Monday after being closed since last
October, but after two days' sessions
It was closed again because of the
Influenza epidemic spreading again.
It was not the result of the opening
of school, for the cases developed
before the school had really started,
but there were so many, mostly chil
dren, that it was considered best to
close the school. Following the first
outbreak several of the parents of
the children afflicted have taken it
and now we have some 20 cases, but
none of the patients are reported se
rious. The following cases are reported
by the health efficers: Mrs. Clifford
Reed and little daughter; Mrs. Le
nora Smyth, Miss Leora Goodlow.

As a consequence of the unexpect

Why the Essex Motor Car will be
the sensation for the coming season
Every part and every detail of the Essex con
struction is of proved worth. It was designed
and built by some of the foremost engineers of
America, the same men whose genius produced
the Super-Six. Many points of superiority in
the Super-six which have proved themselves in
years of service, have been incorporated into
the Essex. The engine, only twenty- nine
inches long, cast in one block with detachable
head, readily develops more than fifty horse
power. Long life is assured by the ample pro
portions of the counterbalanced crank shaft,
supported by three large bearings.
