For Your Convenience.

Let us see whether or not q re-
moval Of the county seat will be ad-
vantageous to us as taxpayers and to
the people living in the out lying dis
tricts OF the county. We will ask
this question. How often do you come
TO Ontario each year to transact busi-
ness? How often 40 you 10 to Vale
to transact business outside OF mat
ters pertaining 10 court house affairs?
Your trips TO Ontario would not be
lessened unless a better town was
built up that would supply your de-
mands In a commercial way. Would
you 20 10 Vale as often II YOU didn't
have TO transact your business per-
tanning TO court house affairs there?
Wouldn't Il be n lot handler to trans
act all your affairs. both commercial
and legal IN the same town. making
one trip do for both? Wouldn't II be
u lot more pleasant TO stay week
In n town like Ontario. with first class
hotels. while In attendance on court,
than II IL 10 stay the same week In
Vale? Don't you feel better II you
know that your financial interests and
investments as tax PAYERS are located
In a town that Is growing steadily?
Don't you think II shows poor bust
ness Iudgmen, on your part rs a tax
payer To make further financial In
vestments In locality where property
values are falling OFF, Would YOU
do the same thing In youf private
business affairs? We wish you would
Just reflect soberly on these questions
and see II YOU don't think that a re-
moval OF the county seat would he a
progressive. economic business prop
osition. We think YOU will agree with
us that Il In.

some 81 millions less, we were i'm
porting some rs millions more than in
April OF the previous year.
In May, while we we're exporting
some 33 millions less, we we're import
ing some 30 millions more.
In June, while we we're exporting
some 6 millions less. we we're import
ing some 26k millions more.
While for the quarter we exported
$76,687,270 less we imported sS2,ss7,- =
032 more.
Because we sold so much less TO the
foreigners and bought so much more
from them in those three months we
we're for that period about s160,000,-
900 worse off In our foreign trade ac-
count as compared with the CORES
ponding quarter Of year ago. II
Europe was too hard up to buy from
us, Europe with the new tariff could
sell to us though we we're hard up.
The explanation that we were 60
ing through exactly the same expert
ence as Europe was going through
will not hold water. Europe was not
buying, but was selling abroad. We
we're not selling, but were buying
abroad.
The people Of the United States
now know, what they might have
before, that the importation Of for
eign products means the kindling OF
the fires in foreign workshops and the
quenching OF our own.

A WISE BIRD

A Plymouth Rock hen on display at
the Poultry show and valued at 5000 was
worth twice that sum as the result of
swallowing a $500 ruby which dropped
from a setting In a ring owned by
Charles v. Keller, one Of the judges.
The hen belongs to L. c. Danville,
Montfort, Wis. While Keeler was about
to examine the bird the gem dropped
and quick as fash the hen gulped IL
down, Keeler offered Danville $500 for
the bird and subsequently increased the
bid to s400. That bird roasted and ser
we'd with bottle Of golden grain belt
beers, would be some dinner. .--Adver-

A Business Proposition.

The tax payers Of Malheur county
have treated the question of county
seat removal as a strict business
proposition. They are impressed with
the businesslike methods OF the On
tario people and are quick to see the
I'D, antages offered them by that bodv.
We are offered a new up-to-datS court
house and Jail building, site and all.
free of every charge, in a good live
town that Is steadily growing and
will soon be city OF goodly proper
fions. and the question is whether we
will accept that proposition, and move
the seat of government to Ontario,
or will we continue to do business In
the old antiquated structure in town
that is steadily declining in every
respect. IL is only a question OF n
few years until we will have to have
court house that will properly meet
the demands OF Malheur county. The
present one does not. There IL only
ono vault and that is crowded to the
limit. The assessors books and
sheriff's and treasurer's records are

would be lost Prisoners cut their
way out Of the present Jail with any
kind of an implement. the last jail de-
livery being made with table knife.
II cost this county more to get those
prisoners back, and they haven't got
them all yet, than IL will to move the
county seat to Ontario and use the
new Jail that will be proof against
such outbreaks. The property that
is owned by the county and situated
I'm Ontario will be worth so per cent
more as an investment than were II

will save us from building new
ccurt house. II will save us from the
Canger OF losing out records In case

The Majority Want II.

During the past week thousands OF
people visited Ontario. most OF whom
were Malheur county people. and We
have talked with a great many OF the
representative people OF the different
communities In the COUNTY about
their ideas OF Ontario and whsther o.
not they thought that this was the
proper place for the county seat. In
n.ar,s every instance we found tha;
practically every visitor at the fair

and the activities OF railroad eonstruc-

steadily increased in population.
There is only one answer to this kind
of proposition and that is that
Ontario is the better town. has the
most natural advantages, and the
most progressive citizens. The tax
payers OF Malheur County are among
the livest and most uptodate citizens
OF the state and naturally want TO as

TO do their legal business In a live
town. That is the reason every tax

Fourteen carloads Of prunes from
10 acres is the wonderful record OF
Charles p. Hartley's orchard east ot
town. The trees are five years old
and this is the first full crop. Last
year a small crop was gathered. The
trees were SO heavily loaded that It
became necessary TO pick off two car
loads two weeks before the fruit was
ripe enough to pack. At the market
price OF $40 per ton. the output from
this orchard will average $500 per

The third is the full-armed salute. re-
