days session or the Oregon Irrigation
Congress which closvd Saturday even
ing, as representatives from the John
Day Irrigation District.
Mr. Blown, when interviewed by a
representative of the Herald Monday
morning, reported that the congress
was a highly interesting session from
start to finish the attendance being
gpod from nearly every pertion of the
state. As a straw showing just how
fne irrigation wind is blowing Mr.
Brown referred to the report made
by Messrs. Hinkle and Gaard, who
recently attended the interstate irri
gation conference at Salt Lake. The
report set forth that it was no longer
a matter of surprise to them that Ore
gon has so long lagged behind other
states of the northwest in the way of
getting federal support for irrigation
projects for the reason that it was evi
dent at the Salt Lake conference tint
Idaho, Utah, Washington and other
western, states were represented by
otronp delegations composed of tiir
biggest and stronv":! men and lltat
nothing was overlooked in pronvot
ing their several irrigation projects,
while Oregon was represented by two
delegates who did not even have the
consciousness of having the financial,
commercial, and agricultural Inter
efts of their stute behind them. Mr.
B'-own even went farther and made
the "ame application to the situation
in Heppner, the capital and metropo
lis of Morrow county being represent
ed only by Mr. S. H. Boardman, who
was borrowed for the occasion from
the Boardman Commercial club. "Not
but that Mr- Boardman ably and ef
ficiently represented Heppner, Mr.
Cotlued on Page Eight)

HELP YOURSELF BY HELPING YOUR TOWN

TJfftlUtyou "millntaltt towerd your borne town its

cess Or failure, of the same . ' : ..
The succesS'Bnd happiness or of every citizen in any communvty -lie
in the intesest he takes In that community' and the good
work he can do to assist In Its upbuilding. EVERYTHING
YOU DO TO HELP IN THE ADVANCEMENT OF YOUR OWN
COMMUNITY YOU DO JUST THAT MUCH TOWARD yOUR,
OWN PERSONAL SUCCESS. No man can live and prosper
unto himself alone, for you are .Independent! and, realizing
this, as good citizens, you should unite and pull together for
the common good, and, doing this, you will prosper as a comro-
unity and as individuals. "

Some towns hustle and grow that Is, tiie people huMlo
and the town grows." They get the habit of boosting until
every citizen becomes a booster. and pretty soon its reputation
spreads und it becomes known far and wide us n good town,
while others lapse Into a state of Innocuous desuetude tn tusy
rock-along manner that soon classes that place us a dead tine.
If you are knocking and complaining, stop It. Nothing
hurts a town more. If you cannot say anything good, don't
say anything, and, above all, don't knock. It yon are not a
booster become one.
Now, one of the greatest Injuries you can do your "nome
tow n or commuity- to the business men who are dependent on
our patronage Is to order your goods from mall order houses
or patronize merchants In other towns. Every dime i-ent
from jour community lo mull older houses is removed entirely
from local circulation.
Money sent away from town lo pay for merchandise never
cuit'fs back to the man who Kpenris It or to anyone else in his
town. It Is gone forever. On the other hand, when money I
spent with a local merchant a part of it, at least that pail
which Is represented by his gross profits Ik kept at home and
Is not taken out of local circulation. The merchant puts this
u nlit bi'.i'k Into circulation by paying salaries to his employees,
rent or tuxes on hi building and In numerous other ways. The
money may eventually come hack to the veiy person who spent
It with the merchant In the first place. When nuine Is n nt
