The Holly chieftain., 1904-03-04


interested in the matter Of estab-
fishing a pickle factory in Holly
and we believe the farmers would
find it quite profitable to grow Gu
cumbers, providing a picking
plant is put in. A representative
of the Kuehne Preserving compa-
ny of Topeka, Kansas, Was here
last week looking the matter up.
If enough acreage can be secured
to warrant the building of plant
here this company is ready to put
one in. Cucumbers grow and
yield we'll here and the expense Of
planting, cultivating, etc, is no
greater than on crop of canta-
loupes. We understand the gen
tleman will return in n short time,
and in the meantime the business
men of Holly should take the mat
ter in hand and endeavor to secure
the acreage, This is a matter for
the Commercial club to act upon.
w. s. Pardonner, president of
the A. V. S. B. &I. l.. Co.. Hon.
Platt Rogers, attorney and Thos.
Berry, chief engineer Of the COM
pany were here Monday and Tues.
day. They held conference at
Manager Wiley's Office Tuesday
afternoon with committee of
farmers representing the Eastern
Prowers County Beet Growers
Protective Association. The mat
ter of building a beet sugar facto-
~ in this district was the subject
OF the conference, which lasted
several hours. When the meeting
adjourned the participants were
eagerly sought and thoroughly
piled with questions concerning
their proceedings, but they did not
seem to think it advisable to talk.
From the pleased and satisfied
expession upon the faces of the
farmers committee, however, it
WAS apparent that the conference
resulted quite satisfactorily to
them.

The following timely eommunica-
tion on the school book question, pub
lished i'm the Salem Journal is worthy
of being reproduced. 1t deals with
"A subject on which the East Oregonian
has commented repeatedly. The COM
munication is as follows:
Editor Journal: 1 desire to express
my views in a few words, through
your Open Forum regarding our
public school system. cannot under
stand why our school children should
be required TO enter with such a lot
of text books and materials as they do
every term.
| send three children to our schools
and each and every term new text
books and school room sundries must
be secured, necessitating as It does
quite an outlay To my notice our
state is far enough advanced so as to
be able, with the cooperation of all
earnest school patrons, to provide for
free school system. l know of sew
eral families in our city whose chill
a
schooling because of the outlay re-
quired for books.
deem the public school system of
uor United States as our greatest in
stitution, and as that institution which
continually forms the bulwark of our
march toward prosperity and higher
civilization, and therefore an institu-
tiDn which GhnttIl ha L..
Bile to each and every able child of
our nation.
Now, If 1t must be that we are to
provide the apparatus by which our
children learn their lessons why could
not our schools be little more mod
crate in this line.
Nebraska, which state stands fore
most in good schools, and to which
schools my children have had access
for several years, is very moderate
with text books and materials requir-
ed in the school room, and Just as
good. if not better results are obtain
ed thereby.
This system of having for each pu-
Pill dozen or more text books, with a
separate note book for each text
book, along with pencils, copy books.
color boxes, etc. is not much toward
the good of the pupil nor to the labor
ing man with a large family, and as
l have heard said: 1T looks too much
like 'rake-off' for our book makers"
Moreover, 1t cannot but be a taking
issue with the numerous homeseekers
who are coming into our state each
day
Then, could we not pay a little
greater school tax, demand little
higher license, make it an entirely
free school system, and thereby en-
courage larger attendance and more
honor for our state?
After this is accomplished our tru-
ant officers should be forthcoming.
Finally and at an earlier date, our
state and our youth will be more i'm |
line with this enlightened age of wis
dom and industry. know every par |
ent would be glad to pay for their |
childrens' educations, II they were all .
able to do so, and it is within reason |
that parents advance a little now and .
then toward school supplies, notwith- |
taxes, but to my notion our
present system is out of date and un- 1
reasonable, and l believe l voice the /
sentiment of all good school patrons ,
and of the laboring people especially. !
