oNTARIo's OPPORTUNITY.

The Interstate Commerce Commission
RECENTLY filed it's order making effective ON
October l. the decision i'm the so-called Int
en- Mountain rate cases. That order may
mean little to Ontario, yet it is possible that
il is the most important thing which has tax
EN- place in years. The result depends en-
tirelv upon the people of Ontario them
selves
I'm general way the order results in
the elimination of the advantage which
Portland and other coast terminals have mad
over interior distributing points. by It's
findings the commission declares that the
railroads can no longer charge more for
hauling freight from Eastern, Middle West
ern and Missouri river points to ontario
than they do to Portland. Before the rate
TO Ontario was equal to the rate from the
east to the Pacific Coast and from the Pasi"c
Coast back to Ontario. Now the rate is to
be based ON the mileage hauled, so Ontario
will have "A much lower rate than Portland
lower rate than Baker City, and the same
rate that will apply to Boise
With these new rates in effect there will
vanish all excuse for Ontario buying its
goods from Boise. except the fact that the
goods will not be here i'm wholesale quantities
To be had.
If Ontario takes material advantages
of its strategic geographical position whole
sale houses here could control the territory
10 the westward as far as Bend, on the main
line at least to Huntington and Durkee, on
the Pin road and Payette Valley, and TO
Homedale and Jordan Valley. With such ter
ritory in which, with Nampa and Caldwell
Payette and Weiser as natural competitors
FOR only portion of the territory, there is
a aeld of a substantial wholesale business.
1t is also true that towns which develop
good wholesale houses, also become centers
for retail trade The addition of such IN
stitutions, with the ultimate completion of
the lines across Central Oregon makes II
possible for Ontario to he the wholesale and
retail city Of this region.
Ontario in respect To Central and East
era Oregon occupies the same positions as
does Spokane to Eastern and Central Wash
iugton. If the enterprise is here, combin-
ed with constructive policies Ontario can
achieve, in measure at least, n similar com
mercial prosperity.

TYPHOID is WITH US AGAIN.

The first ease of typhoid has been re-
ported in Ontario for this season. Repeat
ed attention has been directed to this dread
scourge, but nothing has, as yet, resulted.
1t is the duty of every government, be
it national, state county or municipal to
protect the health and welfare of its people.
Only in as much as it does that has it the
right to the name OF government.
Unless the government of Ontario is TO
enforce the health regulations passed of its
own volition and in view of its own re-
cognized need, the city should provide, free
of charge, the prophaitic vaccmce and the
services of physicians for administering the
same, to all citizens who have not themselves
taken the necessary precaoutions to protect
themselves. That would remove 80 per cent
of the danger of typhoid.
The Ontario Argus. (Ontario, Or.) 1???-1947, 1917-08-02
NOT THE LAST WORD.

John Rigby of Vale declares, accord
ing to press reports that Director Davis of
the Reclamation Service says there is no
money for the Warmsprings Irrigation dis
trict. Some time ago that would have scar
ed the hackers of the project. The people
have learned since that the directing heads
of construction in United States government
bureaus don't always have things go their
own way. If Congress passed the $20,O00,-
900 irrigation bill and names the Warm
springs project as one OF the items, Mr.. Dav-
is will proceed To do the work. He does not
want 10 figure in Dennan-Goethals con
troversy, tho it may be natural as head of
the construction department he would pre-
fer to see projects now started completed
before others are undertaken. Malheur
County citizens will not lose hope on ac-
count of Mr.. Rigby's report of Mr. Davis
views There is court of higher powers.
