CITIZENS MUST PAY WATER
BILLS.
THERE seems to be an opinion
current within the city that
where the water service is unsatis
factory to the user he does not
have to pay his water bill. People
who thus reason apparently think
the city council is responsible for
the kind of water being served, as
well as the financial obligation in
volved. This is a mistaken idea. One
hundred thousand dollars in bnods
was voted by the people themselves
for the present water system. Hence
all taxable property within the city
is security for their retirement The
system of charging for the water
service is but an indirect tax for
meeting the obligation and most of
the revenue from the city water
department, aside from current ex
penses, goes for this purpose. At
present there is no direct tax levy
for retiring the water bonds. How
ever, should people persist in their
trend of reasoning, they may force
a direct tax for the purpose upon
themselves. The bond obligation
must be met
When the $100,000 water bonds
were issued, the city council then
in power used the good judgment
of putting their retirement on a
serial basis, so that for several
years part of the principal along
with interest has been paid. In
this manner the bonded indebted
ness is being reduced each year in
a businesslike manner.
People should not be too free to
criticize the existing council for de
ficiencies that may appear in the
water supply. The men who now
have charge of the city government
fell heir to a rather mean job in
correcting previous mistakes, if
such were made. They have the
situation well in hand and are vi
tally interested in bringing the wa
ter supply into the best possible re
pute. They have adopted the policy
or moving cautiously, to avoid mis
takes and to thwart the necessity
of floating more bonds.
There should be little to complain
of in Heppner as to the amount of
water that has been given the user.
A more abundant supply has been
available than in the average city
of the same size over the state. The
big need is improvement of the
quality, and to this end the coun
cil is now undertaking a project
which they hope will remedy the ex
isting situation. Drilling operations
will start at the forks of Willow
creek within a short time with the
hope of securing an artesian flow,
or at least a supply of pure, potable
water in sufficient quantity to care
for the city's needs. The expense
entailed is not large if the results
hoped for are in any degree ob
tained. A little patience and more coop
eration on the part of everyone
will help more in speeding a better
water supply. Knocking and refu
sal to pay water bills will result
only in complications and delay.
SPRING, with its balmy breezes,
fragrant flowers, enchanting
greenery and singing birds; its ef
fluence of growing things, is peace

International Sunday School Lesson for
October 13
KEEPING FIT FOB THE BAKE OF
OTHERS
Daniel 1:8-20
Eev. Samuel D. Price, D.D.
This quarterly temperance lesson
makes use of the text that was
studied on July 28. Other scrip
ture portions that need careful con
sideration are 1 Corinthians 9:19-27;
1 Timothy 4:7-12; 2 Timothy 2:1-5.
Items concerning Prohibition and
its enforcement continue to be first
page news. Henry Ford has recent
ly renewed his statement that he
wants only temperance workmen in
his employ. The cost to self, ma
chinery and others is too great to
have any other kind. Both big and
little business has long since reach
ed this conclusion.
Daniel was a propagandist when
he wanted to use his own common
sense against the arbitrary com
mand of the Babylonian king, who
was a puppet to habit when he or
dered that non-body building foods
and drink be given to the young
men who were in training for a
practical presentation at court On
the other hand this Jewish lad and
his companions had Ideas of their
own about what was good for them,
and their opinions had been con
firmed by all that they had witness
ed of profligacy while In this for
eign land. If they were to pass the
proposed examination they must
have an unsluggish mind housed In
a strong body. To accomplish this
but withal there is a lazy lull of
quietude. Summer's heat and dust
and wind is pleasantly interspersed
with respite to cooling shade and
water. It is vacation time.
But Autumn is the time of bustl
ing activity, and the real play time.
There's the harvest of summer-
ripened fruits and grains, the start
ing of the school year with its ac
companying stir, and renewed busi
ness life with the stocking of winter
food stores and preparation of the
winter wardrobe. Then, two of the
year's finest holidays come in Au
tumn Hallowe'en and Thanksgiv
ing. 'Tis the hunting season, too
the sportsman's paradise.
To the radio enthusiast, though,
Autumn brings the greatest reward.
The atmospheric conditions of the
season again favor good reception
after irritating summer static has
worn erascible nerves threadbare.
And, this Autumn, after one has
listened-in to the Athletics winning
the world series, he may turn the
dials complacently through the foot
ball season, intermingled with vi
brant music, inspiring oratory, and
countless joys of the speechmaker's
art
AN INTERESTING PREDICTION
CR. F. SMITH, agricultural ne
gineer of Iowa State College,
makes an interesting prediction. In
fifty years from now, he says, the
American farmer will sit in an office
before an electric switchboard and
control automatic plows, cultivators
and harvesters which will produce
his crops for him without the aid
of a single field laborer.
"The great revolution in agricul
tural methods of the last fifty
years," says Mr. Smith, "will prove
small in comparison with the revo
lution that will take place in the
next fifty years.
"Automatic farm machinery
which runs without constant human
supervision will be widely used . . .
the machines will be able to run
night and day if necessary . . . the
greatest aid to super-farming in the
future, and one whose realization is
near at hand, will be a soil-tilling
machine, which will move over the
field, mixing and pulverizing soil,
organic material and plant food in
a single operation."
The forerunner of these new ma
chines, it may be pointed out to the
sceptical, is already in operation
and proving successful. It is a
manless plow used at Iowa State
college, which, after being steered
across the field to make the first
furrow, guides itself automatically
by a guide-wheel, which follows the
last furrow plowed until the field
is completed.
HUNTING POPULAR.
FOR the season 1927-28 in the Uni
ted States, including Alaska,
more than 6,450,000 hunting licen
ses were issued and brought rev
enues amounting to $9,300,000 to the
States. The fees differ widely. For
instance:
New York issued 675,780 licenses
for $699,873, while Pennsylvania col-
leced $1,006,159 for 517,729 licenses.
Each year the number of hunt
er's licenses, and consequently the
revenues from them, has increased.
In 1924-25 there were 4,904,710 hunt
ers, paying $6,190,863; in 1925-26
hunting licenses to the number of
5,168,353 were issued, bringing a rev
enue of $6,872,812 to the States; and
in 1926-27 there were 5,987,505 li
censes issued for $8,155,535.
In 1927-28, Delaware stood at the
bottom of the list in total number
of licenses issued, with 1,970 to res
idents and 344 to non-residents.
Kentucky licensed 108,202 of its cit
izens to shoot, but gave permission
to only 92 companions from other
states. New York welcomed 5,339
visitors, many of whom had com
bined fishing and sporting licenses.
It seems as though the art of
hunting holds greater and greater
lure as time goes on.
W. C. Lacy, pioneer farmer of the
Blackhorse country who now re
sides in Portland, was in the city
for a few days the end of the week
looking after business interests.

they must eat so that they could
really think. They knew far less
about alcohol than we do today, but
they did understand that the more
you think about it the less you will
drink it. In fact many drink the
poison in order to stop their think
ing process, and they Invariably
succeed.
The result of a vegetable diet and
wholesome drinking was apparent
when comparison was made with
those who had been fed up on the
"dainties" from the king's table
washed down with the poison drink,
which is unchanging in its reaction.
These lads studied while others
slept off the effect of false stimu
lants and they passed Al when ex
amination time came. The whole
matter goes back to the fact that
this Daniel was not an echo of cus
tom but rather was one who "Pro
posed in his heart" An objection
by the king's high officer did not
alter Daniel's "purpose." He was
both sure and steadfast
This enforcement of the prohibi
tion laws, to which every honest
citizen is committed, is but a proj
ect method of finding out the facts,
and this was what Daniel proposed.
Already overwhelming evidence has
been obtained in favor of total ab
stinence from alcohol, which is in
variably a poison. The more faith
fully this project is tried the more
will the result be for the better
ment of humanity. Who would want
to go up In an airplane with a pilot
who is even an occasional drinker?

DAIRY. SUCCESS
HINGES ON FEED
Increase In Cow Population is
Found Dependent on More
Pasture and Forage,
The relati)i,hip between cheap
feed and success in dairying is so
great in Oregon as well as else
where that profitable expansion of
the cow population in any locality
is directly dependent upon ability to
establish pastures and increase sup
plies of legume hays, says E. R.
Jackman, extension specialist In
farm crops at Oregon State college,
after making a general study of
feed conditions through the state.
"So far as known there is no in

went to and from her work at a
desk, smiling, cheery, enthusiastic
over what she could do! She was
a doer of the almost impossible
sure that some day she would over
come her terrible disability.
The chance salutation made her
wince; the discouraging comment
bore its wicked fruit. The little
martyr poised on her two crutches
touched her tiny handkerchief to
her eyes, and hobbled on.
There are still a few people in this
highly civilized social throng, who
are so densely stupid as to blurt
out the worst possible stuff to the
unfortunate ones words that are
truly barbed shafts. It is only the
mental cripple who calls attention
to defects in the maimed or help
less. I once heard an idiot say to
a paralyzed man, "I wouldn't be in
your fix for a cool million dollars."
I think most any sort of "fix" is
preferable to being a mental clam,
who hasn't sense enough to be
gently kind and always encouraging
to the permanently afflicted.
pasture," said Mr. Jackman. "Indl
vidual dairymen achieve it through
special methods, It is true, but com
munities rarely or never. Every
outstanding dairy section in the
world has plentiful grass.
Mr. Jackman points out te effect
of this situation on growth of dairy
ing in this state. In the Irrigated
counties of eastern Oregon, the
number of dairy cattle has increas
ed faster In the last eight years
than In the previous ten just as
available feed has increased. During
the same period other' sections of
the state with less change in the
feed supply showed comparable less
increase in dairy cattle population.
If it is desirable, therefore, to
increase the cow population in west
ern Oregon, for instance, there
seems to be only one sound way to
do it namely Increase the acreage
and yield of hay and provide some
small irrigation plants to grow pas
ture, concludes Mr. Jackman.
"The cheapest way to increase the
hay tonnage is to substitute alfalfa
By Albert T. Reid
for lower yielding hays. Since an
intensive campaign by the extension
service for alfalfa, there are now in
Washington county some 5000 acres
yielding from three to six tons on
land which formerly produced
about two tons. On one farm the
change allowed an increase of from
20 to 28 cows with no Increase in
crop acreage or purchased hay. The
other possibility is irrigated pas
tures of ladino clover or other suit
able plants watered from small
pumping or gravity systems.
