Temporary organization of the Una
tilla County Agricultural Association
was perfected Saturday afternoon
and the work of securing persons to
subscribe stock will begin at once.
The organization will start with a
capital stock of $4,000, divided into
1000 shares. AS soon as half the
number of shares are subscribed the
payments for the same will be due.
The committee appointed at previ-
Gus meeting to select a site for the
fair grounds and race track, recon-
mended the Armstrong tract, on the
hill south of Pendleton. 1t was voted
to purchase 30 acres of the tract at
$1,000.
The committee further reported
that the Northwestern Gas & Electric
company would furnish power to
pump water onto the grounds at the
rate of cents per 1000 gallons.
Water will be furnished by the city
water commission at the rate of from
10 to 2i5 cents per 1000 gallons.
Frank Frazier favored the associa-,
ton owning its own water system and
securing its supply from a well along
the river bank.
Leon Cohen argued that the associ-
alton plat the ground in the tract not
needed for the fair and race track,
and sell it for residence purposes.

Remonstrances are being circulated
for signers, opposing the repeal of the
present bicycle ordinance which al
lows cyclists to ride upon sidewalks
in certain portions of the city. There
Is large number of persons who de-
pend upon wheels almost entirely as
a means of locomotion, and these
claim that if an ordinance is passed
prohibiting the use of the sidewalks
by cyclists that great Inconvenience
and hardship will result.
It is further claimed by those head

STOCK OUTLOOK VERY GOOD.
Especially So in Grant and Morrow
Counties.

From conversation with a number
of stockmen of Morrow and Grant
counties the Times is given to under
stand that the outlook for stock is
very encouraging.
Both sheep and cattle are reported
to be in splendid condition and the
winter range better than usual so the
herds and flocks are doing fine on
the grass, no feeding having been
done yet.
The indications are that wool will
bring higher price the coming sea-
son than for years, and a consequent
rise in the prices of sheep is natural
ly expected. Cattle prices are also
looking up here, and by the time of
the opening of the spring market a
marked advance>in the price of beef
is Xpected-Heppner Times

WLEST STATE ON EARTH
South Carolina Works Little Children
to Death

The following article, written by
Ebert Hubbard, gives a true picture
of child labor in South Carolina.
Passes and brides has had the same
effect in South Carolina as elsewhere,
except that in that state legislators
were willing for the little pieces of
pasteboard and other considerations to
murder thousands of her little children
willing that they should wear out
their little lives that Yankee nabobs
might ride in automobiles and their
wives wear silks. If there is anything
more devilish, more cruel and barbar
GUS in darkest Africa than what goes
on from day to day in South Carolina
and four other states that have no
laws against child labor, what is it?
Read the following article and then
blush for your country.
Next to Massachusetts, South Caro-
lima manufactures more cotton cloth
than any other state in the union. The
cotton mills, of South Carolina are
mostly owned and operated by New
England capital.
In many instances the machinery of
the cotton mills has been moved entire
from Massachusetts to South Caro-
lima. The move was made for the os-
tensible purpose of being near the
raw product; but the actual reason is
that in South Carolina there is no law
regulating child lobar. Heartless Gu
pidity has joined hands with brutal
ignorance, and the result is child Ia
Dor of so terrible type that African

municipalities unless In connection
Herewith there Is a civil service Law
under which all applicants for posi-
ton. irrespective OF politics, will be
treated exactly alike and under which
Just and reasonable tests will be ap
piled to public servants to ascertain
their fitness to perform the work en-
tailed upon them.
'The only other serious objection
urged in Chicago was that the munich
patty had no money. There is NO
force whatever in the objection. The
operation of these utilities, either by
public or private persons, is valu-
able privilege. We propose to raise all
the money necessary to purchase an
up-to-date street car system upon GER
tificates which are special or limited
promises to pay out of the income col
lected from the system.
Under the law of the state of Illi-
nois these certificates are termed
street car certificates and are secured
in three ways:
"First-By the pledge of all of the
income of the municipal railway plant,
this income being unlimited as to time.
"Second-These certificates are Sc
cured by mortgage which conveys
all Of the tangible property in the
transportation department of the city,
both real, personal and mixed, and
every kind of property used in the
transportation department.
'Third-These certificates are Sc
cured by twenty-year franchise.
This security, in my judgment, is
much better security than the private
companies in the past have been able
to offer, either to their stock or bond
holders. Private companies in the
past have been able tn sell stocks and
bonds aggregating in value $117,0O0,-
900 when their tangible property was
worth less than s27,000,0O0. If they
could raise four times the value of
the tangible property upon an expiring
franchise, can any sensible man for
moment hesitate as to what amount of
money the city of Chicago can raise
lyon the security hereinbefore men
toned?
"The operation of public utilities by
municipalities is no untried theory.
Wherever a municipality has taken
over public utility, as to this utility
corruption and bribery cease. There
is no motive for the corruption of an
alderman in case of a utility operated
by the public.
IF good results have been secured
in the cities Of Europe and Australia,
why can not they be secured in the
cities of New York and Chicago, and
the other cities of America? The men
or parties who charge the citizens of
Chicago or of New York with being
SO inefficient, incapable or dishonest
as to be unable to own and operate |
their own utilities, frame an indict-
ment against the citizens of these COM
munities which our people will answer
at the polls with verdict of Not
guilty.
"The movement in favor of munich
pal ownership of all public utilities |
has taken deep root among the intelli-
GENT people of this country. 1t is no
passing sentiment. 1t is here to stay.
Municipal ownership and operation of
.hese utilities and governmental own
ership of railways, telegraphs and ex-
press transportation is practical
question upon which the people must
PASS within very short time, and
he politicians and parties who ignore
his sentiment must be prepared for a
,hort-lived career before the people"
