This is the season for the Christ
mas tree slaughter to occupy not
only the press but the minds of
careful students of public economy.
The pros and cons have been gone
over for years and some good has
undoubtedly come of it-perhaps
the most good is the knowledge
that we must keep our forest if we
are to have the needed rainfall and
that this may be done and yet have
our Christmas tree supply if it is
done after the manner of practical
forestry. The trouble has not been
with the demand for Christmas
trees so much as with the Ruthless
way farmers have cut good trees
to supply the demand.

selves although they are apt to
stay by the doe for several months.
While it seems as if the buck ought
to be sufficient hunting for the

is hardly a fair argument against

LET US DEMONSTRATE.
The Best way in the World 10 Advertise is 10 Show People,

The Plains is a great country.
In as far as advantages, natural
resources and possibilities are
concerned it is equal if not supe-
rlor. to any part of the world.
We who live here and are familiar
with the country know this. We
know it is a great country, and
that it possesses the three great
est essentials to the highest pos
sible development, these being
fertile soil. delightful climate
and an ineXhaustible supply of
the finest water. We know fur
thermOre that it isn't a droughty
country, and that it is not
cursed with the numerous draw
backs that have long been charg-
ed against it.
But what have we been doing
to convince the world beyond our
own confines that it is really a
great country? We have been
talking and preaching and send
ing out literature, and in these
things it cannot be said that we
have misrepresented. In fact
we have been more conservative
than the facts warranted, but we
haven't made converts, or at
least we have not secured results
in proportion to the merits and
opportunities of the Country.
1t therefore behooves us to see
where the trouble lies.
We have simply too much
neglected the opportunities about
which we talk and know to exist.
We know it is one of the great

out the proper solutions, and
there are many ways and they
are simple.
Idle land is the cause of the
country. This kind of land will
consume itself with interest,
whether this interest be paid or
simply lost. Producing land
convinces others, brings immi-
grafton to the country, creates
a demand and thereby enhances
value, and more than that it pro.
duceS its annual net revenue.
Let US come to a full realiza-
ton of this proposition. Let us
have a few demonstrations and
dividend producing farms in
every community. 1t is the best
way in the world to advertise,
and it is business.
We need a few more Judge
Coughs and Pat Patfraths, and
several thousand people who
will practice what they preach
and demonstrate.

are fresh and green and ready
for the market late in the sum
mer and early in the fall when
the gardens in other sections
have gone to seed or blistered,

that by truck growing and gar
dening alone we could produce
thousands of dollars worth of
revenue-could ship out the stuff
and bring in the money. We
know we could do this with our
wells and windmills. if it never
rained. We also know, and the
rest of the world knows that we
have done nothing of the kind.
1t is against us as an advertising
proposition, and it is against us
as a business proposition. Our
failure in this one particular has
permitted thousands and thouS-
andS and thousands of dollars to
go to waste. And while we have
preached that which we did not
sufficiently practice we have
made the world skeptical.
We know that no country in
the world is equal to this in the
production of kaffir corn and
milo maize, and we know that
they are uneXcelled as money
crops. We know that no country
in the world is a better hog coun-

A CITY PARK
Canyon City Should Have a Park Says
Mayor Haney

The time has come and condi-
tions are such that the people,
young and old and all of one ac-.
cord should cry out and work
for and secure city park, land
is cheap, vacant and suitable (for
nothing else). We have schools
Churches, Civic Leagues, Book
clubs, and some say a CONNER
cial club. What are they doing?
What can we do? What can they
do? We all have children and
grand children or kin folks
who have such, and we are all
going to die some time, as little
as we think of it, and the next
generation will laugh at, if not
ridicule our negligence, littleness
and dullness, if we so neglect so
great an opportunity as WE NOW
HAVE to contribute to the things
that make for higher, nobler and
more refined civilization.
Think of it, Schools, Churches
Societies, and No Park. No
pleasure grounds. No evidence
of higher education. We don't
need any arguments and | will
not stulify an intelligent people
by attempting such, for city
park. We need thought, deter
mination, organizatiod, and work,
work.
How uninviting everything looks
and will continue to look and be
without pleasure ground, beau
titled with walks, prominades,
fountains, lawn trees rare shrub
flowers and all things else that
is pleasant, restful and inspiring
to life.
We are installing water, sewer
age, and other sanitary conven-
fences and a Park is now feast
able and longer neglect will be
next to criminal, to say the least
of it, it will be evidence of our
want of even standardization, |
would suggest plan for a city
park, but possibly some would
oppose it, because | advocate it.
If "a heathen, publican, or a
sinner or even saint will make

and do my part with money,
work and wind to accomplish the
object what say you?
