' "One of the most receptive gubernatorial aspirants is mere ly waiting for i the republican state central committee's "Oh, Kay!"'-. " Fifteen years ago this writer made a visit to Ontario, Oregon, which for the most part, was at that time in the making. Then they were begin ning to take a-patch of sagebrush here and there off the land and let water trickle over it in little ditches , There wasn't any too much water then and the clearings weren't very thick. Over last week-end we were in Ontario and we noted a marvelous change had taken place in the interim of fifteen ' years. Wood structures " have given way to substantial brick and concrete business buildings and one of the finest hotel buildings in ; the southeastern Oregon district ' takes care of the traveling public there. Every line of business is rep. resented and represented well. A big . steel bridge spans the Snake river at Ontario on the site of the old ferry, and over it comes a large trade from the Idaho side of the river. Growing crops are well advanced, giving in dications of satisfactory yield and the farms, as a rule, present a pros ' perous and well-kept appearance. The city of Ontario is clustered with many beautiful ' homes, and the spirit of home-making' is seen in well kept lawns and beautiful flower gardens The Ontario country has waited over this period of fifteen years for an abundant water supply to bring under cultivation thousands of acres of ufr reclaimed, fertile lands. And she is still waiting, but her patience and confidence is to be rewarded in the completion of the Owyhee project, With Owyhee water filtering over the bottom lands, plateaus and benches, then keep your eye on Ontario. o ' Completed petitions for the propose fid initiative measure prohibiting commercial fishing on the . Rogue river, bearing 24,647 names, have been filed with the secretary of Btate and if found to be regular, the meas ure will go on the ballot at the NO' vember election. The Press under stands that a new angle lias been pre sented in relation to the stata-i of the Rogue as a fishing stream, which materially affects sportsmen. It is currently 'reported that California and Eastern people are rapidly buying up acreage property along this famous trout stream end buildiog rummer homes thereon; that it is only a mat ter of time until the angler will be crowded off the banks of the Rogue entirely, or be placed in a position of asking permission to fish on privately owned property. In that cus'.', the measure should be defeat vl better that the commercial fisherrann have rights on the river than hae it pass under control of highbrows who pla card the scenery with "No Trespass ing" signs. - o ' One of our republican editor friends says in his paper editorially, "Whether or not the !new tariff will protect American industries without adding appreciably to the cost of liv ing remains, to be seen." Why, God bless him, doesn't he know that there was never a tariff enacted that did not boost the cost of living? Now, we like this guy and we sincerely hope that he may be successful in in creasing his' advertising rates to meet the cost in his living expenses which this new tariff will impose up on him; that he will be able to pay $15 for a $10 pair of shoes, $7.50 for a $5 hat, and bo on down the line. o' .' An Ohio girl stepped into a neat of copperhead rattlesnakes and was bit ten by them. She still lives and will recover, says her physician, for the reason that the poison from each snake reacted against that ' of the others. Had only one snake bitten her, the girl would have died, for it was twelve hours before she was found in the hills, after being struck. This may be a snake story and it may not be. light, tinsel and glittering ornament? during the 1930 fiscal year, but the tree itself is still growing strong, sturdy and healthy. There no long er is a Santa Claus distributing pre." ents of big profits. Business through out the latter part of the fiscal year had to earn its profits." o Tacoma has cut down her overhead expense by granting her city em ployes one month's vacation without pay. Tacoma has a way of her own in conducting municipal affairs. o Complete census returns show that 337,635 persons are living in Multno. mah county of which 301,311 live in Portland, and there were a total of 14,149 unemployed persons in the county. Mountain resorts and river ramps are absorbing Athena'p spirit of cele brating the glorious - Fourth tod6y, and the city proper assmcs the aspect of a deserted village, o At Salem milk and water appear to mix well together both were used recently in extinguishing a fire in the capitol city. o ' The pension bill "as is" would in dicate that Hoover has not forgotten how to "Hooverize." ' o The Hunter brothers who hunted for the aviation endurance record, found it.

Grasping the infernal machine firmly in the left hand Mr. Judy proceeded to show the boys a trick embalmed in fire and brimstone. He lighted a match, applied it to the business end of the rocket, and under his breath, murmered, "watch me." With a sizzle and a sputter, it dashed across the street, crashed through a window and spent its force on the floor of Charley Norris' harness shop.
