THE WATER QUESTION Kveryone remembers the story of the Arkansaw man with the roofless house when it rained he couldn't put a roof on, when n. (lion t rain rie man t need a roof. That's about the situation in Heppner on the water question when wo need water riht bad in the summer time, we are too busy with other things to Rive the matter any attention except a few cuss words and a grumble or two; in the winter when we have time to think and talk and act alontr lines of public improve- hill because their own faucets were dry. No town can ever prow and prosper in the fullest sense of the word without water. It is one of the essential things need ed in making a home. Men may make money in a town without an adequate water supply but they cannot make homes worthy of the name. There is only one sane, sensi ble, modern way for any town or city of Heppner's size, or larg er to solve the water question and that is through municipal ownership. That proposition is hardly considered debatable in the present age. Heppner has been short sight ed on the water question in the past. The town is so situat ed that it would have been easy, years ago, to have acquired a water right and power site on the creek above town which would have supplied the peo ple with an abundance of water and light at a moderate cost a cost based on water power as against the expensive steam sys i tern now in use. It is not too i late yet for the city to act. Fif i teen hundred people with a de termination to make their town resentatives of that faith in the armies of every warring nation, his words are bound to have weight as the sincere expressions of a mind which is actuated by a lofty purpose. To assume that his proposal was made with the intention of favoring any partic ular nation or interest is to take a narrow view of a big situation. ment, we do not need water.

Stock gamblers, however, do not need to become too despondent. The government still permits gambling in corn, oats and provisions so they will still be able to turn an honest? penny by manipulating the pri ces of things hungry people need. If gambling in wheat was a bad thing tor the country why not gambling in other food stuffs? Our government is said to be the greatest in the world and the fact that great bodies are said to move slowly may account for the fiddling around our congress does about such things.

It fails to deliver the goods to render such service as the people are entitled to. The city has been practically without water for a week. Gardens and lawns have burned up, fire protection has been minus, even drinking water has been at a premium in the higher locations and residents have been obliged to carry water from neighbors farther down the While the plea for peace made by the pope may not have imme diate effect in bringing the war to a close there can be no doubt but that his proposal will receive careful consideration from all the belligerent nations.
