ner to a very large extent, re-
gardless of the fact that they had
very poor roads to get over. Our
people are interested at the pres
ent time in getting a road into the
Ritter country, something that
should have been accomplished
twenty years ago, and before
PendletOn opened up the way to
the best part Of that trade for
their town. There is doubtless
much trade that can be turned
this way from that section by a
good road; many of these people
wish to come here and ship their
stock and trade at this point, but
we already have the trade of
Monument and Long Creek, as
well as other portions of Northern
Grant, and we need to put some
OF the road between here and
there in good shape. People
coming over from Monument in
form US that the road on the other
side of the county line is excellent,
bat when they reach the head of
Wall creek on this side there is
about three miles of almost i'm
passible road. This can easily be
put in shape by a few days of
work and the building of a bridge
across Wall creek. While talk
ing a new road from Ritter, why
not see to it that this road from
Monument is put in first class
shape to hold a trade we already
have. There will have to be
some stirring on the part of |
Heppner business interests, else
the trade now coming here will
will be taken away by other sec
tions that manifest a keener bus
mess spirit.

THURSDAY, June 19. 1918

While the contest for election
of school director was pretty
lively Monday, there was not the
interest manifested on the part
of every taxpayer Of the district
that there should have been; in
fact it is surprising to note how
many had forgotten all about.the
annual meeting. 1t should not
be necessary to call attention to
this fact but it seems to be nee
essary to do so. Out Of a posi-
BILE three hundred voters in the
district, but SO voted. Our school
is too important to be treated in
this manner, besides there is no
small number of these same three
hundred taxpayers that are quite
willing to express their opinion
as to how the school is being con-
Quoted and the money of the dis
trict spent. There should be
greater interest manifested at the
annual meeting and also at the
special meeting in the fall when
the tax levy is made. Get out
and hear the reports and offer
your suggestions, not with the
idea of merely finding fault with
what your neighbors are trying
to do, but to be of real help in
making conditions with the school
better.
There has been some unjust
criticism offered against the
present school board; in fact some
people have said, unguardedly
we think, that the men compris-
ing our present board of education
are the poorest for the position
of any that ever have tried to
conduct the affairs of the school.
We are not making comparisons.
but will say that we believe this
a very unjust criticism, and one
that is entirely uncalled for. Our
present board have been very
efficient in the work they have
had to do; they really need no
defence whatever for they have
had a lot of very important work
to carry out, and this viii bear
the closest investigation. They |
may have made mistakes, all hui
man beings are liable to do this;
but these have been mistakes of
judgment only, and for our part
we feel that much credit is due
them.
Line up with the board for the
year and help to put the
School to the front where
it belongs. Do not withhold in
the least any just criticisms and
but let them be based
On the high plane of making things
better, and not mere fault find
ng.
