All Foreign Labor

Mr.. workingman do you remember
that the water works In Vale were
constructed by foreign labor? Do
you know that the work OF building
the Bully Creek reservoir. which the
Vale people claim TO be paying for is
being done by foreign labor exclusi-
vely' Do you remember how tho
home men and others OF the county did
the work on the Ontario sewers last
year7 You know that the proposed
water system for Ontario will be con-
structed by American labor. You
know that all the building that has
been done In Ontario was done by
American labor and that the large
number OF new houses and store
buildings that will be necessary In
Ontario will all be constructed by
white labor. Do you favor a commun.
ity that employs white labor or one
that caters to the foreign element be-
cause they will work cheaper and
stand for more hardships?
The Ontario Argus. (Ontario, Or.) 1???-1947, 1914-10-29
Make Bond to Suit,

The Vale speakers and writer's say
they do not like the bond given by
the Ontario business men guarantee
ing the construction Of the new court
house to be built at Vale, that It is
not legal. The Vale commercial club
can employ any lawyer, or set Of law
yers to draw up q bond and have It
passed on by the Circuit Judge. guar
anteeing the building Of the court
house and the work of moving the
equipment to Ontario without cost to
the county tax payers and the Ontario
business men will sign II Just as read
lily az they did the bond printed on
another page. They know the money
is in the bank to pay all the expenses
OF the grounds, building and moving
and Ia available for the purpose with
out any IFS or ands.
The Ontario Argus. (Ontario, Or.) 1???-1947, 1914-10-29
The Last Word

with this issue we close the cam
pnign and wish to thank our readers
for bearing with us in using so much
space for the county seat question.
but now having won the contest the
people OF Ontario wish to assure all
the people OF the county that they
value their friendsip and good will far
more than the county seat and have
conducted a clean. straight forward
campaign so there will be no regrets
after Il is all over. Every statement
and claim made In behalf OF Ontario
was done with the belief that II was
che absolute truth and not distorted.
The Ontario Argus. (Ontario, Or.) 1???-1947, 1914-10-29

Thus while Vale pays but per cent OF
the county tax her people are paid
seventy per cent of the total expenses
Of running the county. The bonded
Indebtedness OF Vale is s110,Uv0, while
that of Ontario is only s65,0OU.
The filing of the bond with the
names of men worth many times the
100000 which Vale wants used in build
ing a new court house, has satisfied
the most skeptical that Ontario can
and will build the court house and
equip It just as the plans and specifica
tions call for. Many voters have
stated tat there could not be stronger
proof that 0ntaria as at all times
meant to do just what she agreed to.
The Ontario Argus. (Ontario, Or.) 1???-1947, 1914-10-29
Thousands Saved

How many Of you realize that the
business men who are on the Ontario
Council have saved the city thousands
of dollars in the building Of the city
sewers, the city hall and that the
library building, high school and other
improvements here represent full
value for every dollar expended on
them. Our city hall is nearly as
large as the Payette building. but the
cost was only half, and the same COM
parison holds good with the public
improvements In any OF our neigh
boring towns. That IL one reason
why Ontario can and will give the
County such an excellent building for
a court house. The same building
In Vale would cost several times as
much. judging from their water sys-
TEN and school buildings.
The Ontario Argus. (Ontario, Or.) 1???-1947, 1914-10-29
Part Left Out Quite
Important

In the last issue of the Vale Enter
prise they claim that Ontario received
$500 from the county court for the
repair OF the Snake River bridge,
when the court holds bond from
citizens OF Ontario to keep the repairs
up for ten years, without cost to the
county, but they failed to state the
truth of the matter.
The fact is that the bond given is TO
keep the 309 feet Of piling or wood
structure OF the bridge in repair and
has no reference to 900 feet Of steel
structure. only to the wood structure,
and the bond 80 states.
The $500 was used for redecking Tie
steel structure.
This bond is also a guarantee by
these people that the piling part of
the bridge would not go out by high
water or ice gorges, and is signed by
thirty of the most responsible men Of
the city, and this is the only time
the Vale court has ever asked any
part Of the county for bond to keep
any public work in repair.
There is much that might be said
regarding this bridge deal. but II has
no bearing on the present controversy.
How the court ws5 opposed to any
thing but a wooden bridge and that
to be built by a certain contractor,
and how said contractor boasted that
II he did not get the contract the
bridge would not be built, and how one
OF the county court members who
is now fighting Ontario did everything
In his power TO keep the bridge from
being built. This same contractor
did all the bridge work In the coun-
" for years.
When bids we're called for this
favored contractor was among the high
bidders. In spite OF all this opposition
the bridge was built and has proven
the best investment the county ever
made.
The Ontario Argus. (Ontario, Or.) 1???-1947, 1914-10-29
Donated Some Labor

The old timers who resided In or
near Vale at the time the present
court house was built and who helped
build the stone walls which the Vale
people claim they constructed and
donated 10 the county at cost OF
$4,000, all unite In declaring that the
Vale people donated very little cash
even towards the construction OF the
old stone shell. The Vale people in
duced the farmers around Vale TO haul
In the native stone. and the stone
cutting and masonry work was almost
entirely done by donations OF the SER
vices OF the farmers and laborers
around Vale, who were promised Jobs
10 recompense them for their labor
donations. The only cash actually con
tributed towards the court house con-
struction was for the mortar 10 hold
the old stone shell together. After
the stone shell was finished, then the
Generous Citizens" OF Vale. ceased
their efforts and the stone shell was
left exposed 20 the elements for two
OF three years. When the west wing
OF the stone wall began TO crumble
and tumble down. then the Generous
Citizens" OF Vale got busy with petit
tion and asked the county 10 help them

Warrants Still Good

That story about the warrants or
the county not being good for the
bridge that the Harper people wanted
is certainly rank. Less than year
ago the county was In debt several
thousand dollars and still her war
rants we're taken at any OF the banks
at par and II the court had been per-
mitted to build that bridge the war
rants to pay for II could have been
cashed at any bank in the county. be-
cause they knew that six per cent
warrants are a good investment.
The Ontario Argus. (Ontario, Or.) 1???-1947, 1914-10-29
Even Attack their own
Court

The Vale people seem 70 have been
IN panic for several weeks and have
been making all kinds OF Wild state
ments. Their article last week re-
garding the bridge at Ontario Is n fair
sample. They quoted part OF the
agreement regarding the Ontario busi-
ness men keeping up the repairs. but
purposely omittel the part that showed
II referred only to the wooden span
on this side OF the river. Those who
were In the county at the time this
bridge was built will remember that
the county court was opposed TO the
building OF a steel bridge and wanted
wooden one erected and Il was
finally compromised by having the
approach or first span on the Ontario
side built OF piling and the Ontario
people agreed TO keep that In repair
and have done 80. II Is an injustice
10 the county court 10 insinuate that
they misappropriated$ $500. They have
the records there and are acting ac-
cordingiy.
When the readers goes over the list
OF moneys paid TO Vale citizens dur
Ing the past few months he will realize
why the whole town OF Vale is making
such desperate effort TO have the
feed trough continued. but the citizens
will decide by their vote on Tuesday
that Il is time to abolish this expense
and reduce their taxes that much.
The voters will also show their wis
dom in accepting a new court house
at Ontario where It will be most ac-
cessible TO eighty per cent OF the
people and thus save thousands OF dol
lors In milage for the people having
business at the court house.
