ACTION FOR DRAINAGE

That the ranchers over on the

realize the need for drainage and are
not to permit their land to deter
iorate before taking action is indicat-
ed by the following account from the
New Plymouth Sentinel which tells
of the calls for bids for the work,
The Sentinel says;
The commissioners of Drainage

for the construction of the drainage
canals and the furnishing of material
to be used for the drainage system,

EXTENDING THE CITY'S BUsI-
NESS

No step ever taken by the CONNER
cial club for the advancement OF the
city's business interest has greater
possibilities than that outlined at the
meeting Monday night for closer COM
munication with Jordan Valley.
The statements made by Messrs
Blackaby, Balm aud Kahout concern
ing the volume of business transact
ed by the people of that region, ma,
turally tributary to Ontario, proved
astonishing to many of the members
and gives rise to wonderment on the
fact that the effort to get into touch
with that region was not started long
ago.
One illuminating fact brought for
tn was that in parcel post mail alone
from one to two tons goes into Jor-
dan Valley every day. That large
portion of that business would come
to Ontario with the completion of an
adequate highway connecting with an
adequate train service to Homedale is
beyond question. Not only for the
benefit to be derived to Ontario, but
for the convenience of the people
OF Jordan Valley.
The Ontario Argus. (Ontario, Or.) 1???-1947, 1916-10-19

proximately 10000 acres Of land will
be drained.
The work will consist of the con-
struction of about IA miles of open
canal, the excavation being estimated
at $4,000 cubic yards and approxi-
mattel two miles of tile drains rang
ing from three to is inches in dia-
meter, and furnishing cement, lum-
her, gravel, sand, bolts and spikes
for building bridges, crossings, cul-
verts, waste water inlets, etc, furn-
ishing concrete for the building out
let. bridge abutments and all neces-
sary collateral work,
The submitting OF these proposals
for bids is preliminary to the issuing
of bonds 1of the district to pay for
the work. II is expected that all
court matters will be disposed OF at
this term et the Canyon county dis

BUILDING A CITY.

Ontario IL engaged In the business
OF building a city. Behind this COM
munity is a great country. From that
region every week there goes thous-
ands OF dollars worth OF business that
should come To Ontario. That thous-
ands Of dollars worth OF business
does come to this community from
the interior does not belle the fact
that there are other thousands that.
should come here but do not The
testimony of local business men is the
basis for this statement.
What II Ontario going to do about
IL? Ii there no means OF getting into
closer business relations with the in
terror? II there no way of making
the people OF the interior feel that
this is their natural trading point?
We believe there is and that II has
been started, II Is the Monthly Trad
ers' Day,
The faith that the Argus has In
the efficacy of the Traders Day TO
make this city the trade center OF
this region IL based on the experience
Of Caldwell. According to those who
are in a position TO know the Trad
ers Day. or Sales Day as II Is styled
there. draws more people to Cald-
we'll than any other institution. In
fact II was said here last Saturday
that there were more people in Cald-
we'll at the last sales day than there
were there during IN Gem State Fair.
The people literally go to Caldwell by
the hundred TO attend the sale and II
is held, not once each month but
twice each month.
with all that number Of people at
tending the fair II is certainly true.
that they make many purchases while
in the city. and II they live at a
great distance and want something
needed quickly il also follows that
they send to Caldwell whore they
have become acquainted with the
business men.
Ontario has behind 1t a territory
greater than that OF Caldwells, 1t
has not only the interior of Malheur
county but the bench of Idaho to
draw upon This was demonstrated
forcibly at the first sale
II the local business men would
make the most OF their opportunity
they will cooperate to make the
Traders Day success. They will
mingle with the men who come TO
buy at the sale and those who come
TO sell They will give the visitors
a real welcome TO the city, get ac-
quainted with their wants and let
them know how they can be served
in Ontario. BY a little systematic
effort no end OF benefit could thus
be secured for the business interests
of Ontario. Could this not be tried?

ure. as he had been ailing from that
trouble for some time.
Van $. Curtis was born in Delhi,
Iowa. on March 2S, 1858. lie lived

when he came West to Alta City,
Utah. where he engaged in the mining
business, until 1854. when he moved
to Pendleton, Oregon, and later to

business for himself.
Mr.. Curtis went to Harvey City in
1854. where he established the first
blacksmith shop in that city and
lated he established a shop at Silver
City which he operated for number
of years. In 1901 he came to Nal
heur county, where he became per-
manently interested in stockraising
and farming. near Vale, until last
February. when he purchased the
Drexel Hotel. which he owned until
a short time ago. At the time OF his
death he was the owner of the Vii
lage Blacksmith Mines of Silver City,
Idaho.
In the year OF 1856 he married
Miss Jennie Wyatt OF Harvey city,
who departed this life in 1904, leay-

NOTICE TO ADVERTISERS:

and interior Of Malheur county but
there Is no doubt possibilities of ox-
/ tending that business. by getting
out and getting acquainted with the
people OF that region this can better
be done than in any other manner.
Then there Is the possibility OF be-
ing Of service to the people of that
region. There are hundreds Of peo-
pie who pass thru ontario every year
who are seeking information con-
cerning the interior. II Ontario bus
mess men have first hand knowledge
OF that region they can be OF assist
ance 10 those who seek this informa-
tion, as we'll as to the people OF the
interior by spreading abroad the real
facts OF the possibilities Of that coun-
try.
And that is not all. There will be
an opportunity for a real big time
both going and coming. II will
furnish Ontario folks an opportunity
to get together with their fellow citi-
zens and those OF Vale in n mutual
gathering for their mutual benefit.
Such an opportunity to combine busi-
ness and pleasure with a fine low
railroad rate Is rarely offered to On
tario and II should. and will. no doubt
be made the most OF by the business
men and citizens generally.

THE TYPHOID SITUATION.

After a strenuous week on the part
OF the health authorities In which the
cooperation OF the other physicians
OF the city played a prominent part
II Is believed that the high mark OF
the typhoid epidemic has been reach
ed.
This result. which II is hoped time
will confirm. was FASTENED by the
precautions taken by individual citi-
zens for their own protection. How
ever the situation has not yet reached
point where the bars can be let
down, Good health and sanitary
conditions must be paid for by eter,
nal vigilance, by no other means
can city protect itself from incur
sions OF disease However the end
TO be gained is worth the price and II
Is encouraging 10 witness to the fact
that Ontario citizens are willing 10
meet the conditions.
In passing II should be noted that
the city administration, the health
and police department took a COM
prehensiye view of the work in hand
and used every effort TO check the
disease and better conditions about
the city. These men, with all the
members OF the medical fraternity
and the citizens who furthered their
efforts deserve the commendation of
the citizenship for their efforts.

.FALCONER
WON'T RUN

Efforts to bring out Alex Fall
coner, former progressive repre-
sentative in congress from the
Second district, for the senatorial
race. are falling flat, 1t is be-
lieved.
Falconer is not in the state
now. The efforts to get him in
the race are made by those who
are unfriendly to Senator Poin-
dexter, and Falconer has been
consistently Poindexter sup
porter. The object has been to
divide Doindexter's strength.
AS it would give Falconer no
chance whatever to land the
place himself. 1t is foregone
conclusion that he will not run.
He may, however, decide to run
again for congress in the Second
district.
