BEGINNING TO FORGET 1T

The public has already begun to forget the
recent aggitation for better health condi-
tions. But the City officials are getting un-
derway the program which they outlined at
a recent meeting for the compulsory use Of
the sewerage sysem.
The public, especially he American public
is always inconsistent. 1t insists every time
that public condition is revealed to be con
trary to what it should be, to find some one
to blame. The public likes to make goat
of some one and seldom does the public think
of blaming its self Yet it is true that the
public is to blame. However there is always
a duty for the public and the public officials
to perform as we'll as the duty of the law
abiding portion of the citizens to encourage
them in their efforts. In making Ontario
the cleanest, most hcalthful city in the
Snake river valley there is plenty N work
for all. Now is the time to start the cam
lpaign. 1t is not the time to start forgetting
that Ontario has had two serious typhoid
Iepidemics ir two wears.
Now that the men of the City Council oi
Defense have given their endorsement, the
women of Ontario can Hooverize to their
hearts content. OF course the women could
have done that anyway, so far as most OF the
homes were concerned. L.

A FRIEND IN NEED

Having before il the offer made by w.
p. Davidson of Oregon Western Colonial
ton company to loan it the funds necessary
for the purchase of the reservoir site the
board of directors of the Warmsprings Irri-
cation district should not hesitate to pro
ceed with condemnation proceedings.
Mr.. Davidson's offer is but another of the
many indications he has shown of the desire
of the company to hasten the day when the
land in this section which is susceptible to
irrigation shall be under water The board
should congratulate itself on having thus
found an easy solution of what might other
wise have been a veXing problem. There
are not many districts which have their
trouble so easily solved.
The one thing that might cause the di-
rectors to ponder over Mr.. Davidson's offer
is the fact that they are to ask the United
States Reclamation Service to build the pro-
ject, and the directors think that with stakes
so high that it is just as well to wait and see
il Uncle Sam won't buy the reservoir site
as well as build the project.
Looking at it from that point of view
tome might agree with those who would hes
tate, but if Uncle Sam can be induced t.
,uild the project, that alone would cause
more JOY in this region than anything Save
the fall of Berlin.
In the meantime the directors are in :
position to advance the project one step fur
ther by having title to the reservoir site, ant
that will be an additional argument witt
which to induce Congress to take the fina
step which will make Malheur county NOR,
prosperous by increasing its crop bearing
lands. .-.~~. TX rrW4

In their minds eye they picture the Ger

happy German gathering in the evening at
the beer garden with his family about him
listening to the opera stars sing the great
masterpieces. They conceive the great

government which brings about such condi-
tions must of necessity be the best ON earth,
, Unfortunately their picture is over
drawn Instead of being without poverty
before the war Berlin had thousands OF citl-
zens living in congested districts, while the
German beer garden and the opera stars
were often the conjurings of imaginative
nds. so far as thousands of Germans were
ncerned.
There was a time when to degree, AT

fo 1914 why did so many Germans lmnl-
crate to the United Statesl The answer to
that question is simple They came here De-
cause they could no longer stand the condi-
tions forced on them by the German govern
ment. They wanted greater opportunity TOT 70,
self expression. They wanted to avoid NM
tary service. They wanted freedom they
could not have in Germany, and all the TAX
that the pro-German makes now OF the
wonderful German government IS hardy ac-
c,lrate. This view is confirmed by the writ

COOPERATE WITH HARNEY

This is the time of year when the Good
Roads Enthusiasts should be getting to-
gethcr for action. OF course this is not the
time ia which to build the good roads, but it
is the time in which to- line up County
Courts. and the State Highway commission
for any given piece of highway. That is
providing of course that there is any chance
of getting action.
Over in Ha1n1 county they realize this to
be the case, and have acted accordingly.
BY sending representative to Portland to
see the members of the State Highway COM
mission they have secured the promise that
the Post Road from Bend to Burns will be
surveyed in the immediate future. The
commissioners informed A. u. Cozad, who
interviewed them in behalf of Harvey
county that the engineer would be in there
within thirty days. That sounds something
like action.
Would it not be the part of wisdom for the
Malheur county court to send a representa-
tive to Portland to see if that engineer while
over i'm Harney continues his work on thru
Malheur and bring the road to its destina-
nation, the "Idaho Line" Now is the time
to act. In the spring if actual road building
is undertaken it will be too late. Then Nal
heur county's representatives would be in
formed, "the program for the year was pre-
pared last winter and we have not enough
funds to add to it." or words to that broad
and general effect.

PRICES LOWER
IN WHEAT PIT
Longs Trying to Sell With
Prospect of Government
Control

Chicago. Ill, Aug. Is. - Wheat:
Prices are lower as longs have trieo
to sell out. Trading in wheat will
be discontinued on the Chicago Board
of Trade on Aug. rs. Operations are
without much significance at the
present time. Cash markets are heavy.
Corn: The market was a little low
er with considerable scattered COM
mission house selling. The demand
was fair but not urgent ami weather
conditions are favorable. There is
much uncertainty over the general
effect of the administration food act
and consequently there is limited
buying temporarily. Receipts are
moderate and with present prices for
cash corn still at a big premium and
higher prices for hogs and provisions
with no stocks to speak of, the mar
ket will become congested easily.
oats: Crop reports are favora ble
the Iowa state report making the
crop 235,000,0O0, or $4,000, 900 more
than last year. The cash demand Is
only fair and there are indications for
big run of oats from now on, pro-
viding the cars are available. Re-
ceipts at present are less than last
year, but the export movement is also
moderate and with enormous yields in
All sections, the supply of oats is
likely to be heavy in a few weeks,
which will make ii hard to lift prices.

600. ooo HORSES GONE

! New York Evening Post: Nearly
| 100000 horses and more than ESQ.,
600 mules is the export record of
the United States in the "a months
since the beginning of the war. A
compilation by the National City
Bank Of New. York, made on receipt
Of the reports of the great mortality
| among American horses in the war
zone, shows that the number OF
horses exported from the begin
ming of August, 1914, to the
present time is in round num-
bers $4,000, and of mules $50, 900.
The stated value of the horses ex-
ported was $4,000. 900. and of the
mules $66.000.O00.
The fact that this is mot a
cavalry war" and that automobiles,
motorcycles, flying machines and
observation balloons are performing
much Of the service formerly requir-
ed of the horse in wartime, does not
seem to have checked the demand
for American saddles and draught
animals.
The demands of the war do not
seem to have caused any material
advance in the prices at which the
horses and mules have been export
ed. The average export valuation
Of the horses exported was in the
first year of the war 1921 per head,
in the second year $205, and in the
third year $214 per head. The av-
erage export price of the mules was
in thee first year $193, in the second
year sos, and in the third year Of
the war $206 per head. Nor does the
expectation of 100000 horses
seem to have had much effect upon
prices at home.
It is not surprising that the coun-
tries at war find 1t necessary to
draw upon the United States for
horses, since we have over one fifth
OF the 100.000.000 horses of the
world, and far more than any other
single country except Russia, which
has about 100000 against about
%, 000, 900 in the United States.
