there are among Ontarlo's popula'

OF patriotism. so lacking in feeling
for the rights OF others, so pro-Ger-
man in their sympathies that they
are inddlging the most malign aud
damnable business OF knocking" the
Red Cross, declaring the women's
work Is unnecessary, that factories
could do It better, etc,

WORTH THE EFFORT.

The Malhcur County Fair which
closed last week was worthy of the
effort. without detracting any meas
nre of credit from the many citizens
who contributed TO It's success, for
all who worked and who deserve
credit are not known TO the writer
however. especial credit Is due "a
the board OF directors. They did
not undertake the work until after
others asked to do so refused, and
Il was late in the season before they
got the business in hand
This. however, Just adds glory TO
their work II must be remembered
too, that all OF the directors are men
actively engaged IN business. the
nature OF which made them sacri-
fee personal affairs TO look after
the interests OF the fair. Many OF
them we're out OF the city for n time
but the others took up the work
and carried II on. TO them OF
course more credit IL due. Presi-
dent c. Il. Emison, Directors Wal
ter Glenn, A. l.. Cockrum and p. j.
Gallagher have during the past sum
mer performed a worthy public ser
vice for which the thanks OF the
community Ia due. Secretary G. NJ.
Stearns shares with the directors
the credit of having carefully pre-
pared the details OF the fair, and
they are multitude. az those who are
familiar with the institution are
aware, and which the general pub
lie can have but slight knowledge.
The directors were most mater
tally assisted by host OF citizens.
tho not as many as might have
helped, many men gave freely OF
their time for days before dnd dur
inR the fair. II they are not named
here. thru lack of knowledge or un.
intentional oversight, may the knowl.
edge OF work well done bring them
forward again. All OF the superin'
tendents who worked. all the men AT
the gates who took tickets, sold
tickets and otherwise assisted with
out pay, the men In "the field" Tom
Brosnan. Frank Lovelaee, David Me-
Gill. A. Mcwilliams. Tom Logan,
Rex Marcus, and host OF others are
every year tower OF strength 10 the
directors. and there are others We
know not OF who did equally we'll,
The county owes thanks too "a
the payette horsemen who brought
their strings and worked hard all
week for comparatively small purses,
aud 10 the MIR, Haynes and Mr.. Sage,
MIR. Blhnton and the other competi-
tors. The many young fellows who
rode outlaws every day. all received
less and worked because they liked
the game, rather than for big re-
wards. And In this hasty review OF
the week. the general public Is de-
serving OF thanks for It's loyalty "a
the fair. the stockmen who exhib-
tied and all the ranchers who did
likewise demonstrated the right spir'
Il. the spirit that will carry the fair
along until II becomes. as II de
serves 10 be. the biggest institution
OF IFS kind In Eastern oregon.
