THE GATES PROPOSITION.

This paper made no comment upon
the proposition of H. V. Gates, pres
ident of Heppner Light & Water
Company, published last issue, and
we do not care at this particular time
to have much to say with regard to
it as it is plain that several points
made in the communication are
patent to the citizens of Heppner and
need no discussion.
The main question brought forth is
the purchase of the present city
water system, and on this alone will
hang the consummation OF the entire
project as we view 1t.
Should Mr.. Gates be able to get
the citizens of Heppner to take over
the waterworks he will be greatly
relieved and have off his back a
burden that is daily growing more
irksome. We do not blame him at
all for wishing to unload. The
question, however, of an adequate
water supply for the city that can be
furnished on cheaper basis than 1t
is possible to maintain the present
system, is one that the people of this
town is up against and must face,
and that in no distant future. AS
stated in the communication of Mr..
Gates, there is nothing left to do
but to go to the mountains and put
in a gravity system. Furthermore
the city must eventually own its
own water system.
We believe that there is growing
in this town a very earnest desire to
make it a better place in which to
live. There are a number of things
that are needed and they cannot all
come at once, but of the numerous
desires that we have, there is always
outstanding above them all, the
water supply. The beautifying of the
city, the health of our citizens and
the general protection to property
make an adequate water supply the
supreme and foremost need. This
will cost money, and lots of 1t, and
as suggested by Mr.. Gates this can
only be secured by the bonding OF
the city. The bonding Of the city
under the present charter is i'm
possible, hence the first thing nee.
essary is to pass the new city charter
and thus provide the means of secur-
ing the money. In the meantime, IL
is we'll to fully consider what Mr.
Gates has to say and when the time
comes for action we may be able to
proceed along intelligent lines.

The farmers of this county are
wondering what effect peace will have
on the price of 1919 wheat. Since
the grain farmers took President
Wilson at his word, when he guaran-
teed the same prices as was received
this year, and put in every available
acre to wheat, they are not worrying
a great deal, for it cannot be possible
that the Government would repudiate
this guarantee, even If it were nee
essary for the Government to charge
up the difference in normal and
guaranteed price to war expense.

FARMERS AND LABOR SHORTAGE

Reliable estimates from marketing
centers show that there will be a
great shortage of beef and mutton
supplies next year.
Shortages of wool all over the
world will cut down regular supply
of mutton, as sheep and lambs must
be held for their fleeces.
Hundreds of thousands of young
cattle are being slaughtered on ac-
count of the scarcity of feed.
Take hay crop alone: users will all
testify that greater part of all hay
sold is bleached out and lowered in
food value.
This hay is from 10 to 40 per cent
damaged in value as stock food be-
cause there was general shortage of

week. gave cut a statement from lis
Washington headquarters regard
ing the losses sustained during the
war BY the newspapers of the COIN
.ry. 1t says;
"No other business has been hit
harder by the war than the news
paper business, particularly in the
smaller cities and country towns.
The larger metropolitan papers have
probably suffered least. During
1917, more than 120 publications
went out of business. After making
allowances for new papers started,
it appears that there was net loss
f e. dailies and $50 weeklies.
"The mortality statistics for 1918
will probably show as great loss,
for the shortage of paper, the in
creasing cost of all kinds of sup
plies, and the higher wages, togeth-
er with the heavy call upon news
paper men for military service, have
been more severe this year than
last.
And one Of the serious features
of the situation is that the people
OF the country probably do not real
ize that the most valuable portion of
the press has sustained the greatest
less. Under popular government, the
country press, including not only
country weeklies but the smaller
dailies, is the real voice of the
people. Editors of large metropoi-
-an papers do not have and cannot
have the close touch with the peo-
pie that is a necessary incident of
the life of the country editor. Just
as Washington, D. c., is the poorest
place is the country TO get line on
the political thought of the nation,
so the big city newspaper office is
the poorest place to get a correct
picture of national thought, either
political or otherwise. The people of
the United States should realize this,
and see to it that whatever else
happens the country press shall be
maintained.
Freedom of speech and of the
press is the first essential of a re-
publican form of government, for
the representative of the people
cannot know the thoughts and as
pirations and desires Of their con-
stituents unless voiced through the
mediumship of the local press to
which they have access directly,
through the editors Interpretation
of the views of his community.
1.-The country press, including the
smaller dailies, represents the pro-
ducing element of our national life.
Tie large metropolitan press repre-
sents the commercial factors. Just
as production is the first essential
of a permanent prosperity, so tina
maintenance of that portion OF the
press that speaks for the producers is
most important.
The metropolitan press has its
place in our national life and nobody
wishes it i'll. The fact remains
,however, that the vital interests O
the nation are most promptly ant
most clearly represented and thu
thought of the people most freel!
and most courageously voiced by tn
country press. The people of tn
country may not see it now, but the.
will some day realize that the larg
prepondoranrc of suspensions amon'
the weekly publications is a menac
to national welfare"

or to make hay crop.
The farmer could cut the hay, but
/, lay in the field for weeks and
m onths while sun and rain bleached
the life out of it.
The people must be brought to un-
derstand that there will be excessive
high cost of living until farmers
ave abundance of labor.
1t is idle for the labor unionists to
demand that all men on farms get
union scale wages or work only eight
y urs day on farms
The theory that there must be no
heap farm labor of any kind is fatal

Head of National Commission Replies
to Complaint of President
Frazee.

Cincinnati, Aug. 27.-Chairman Au-
gust Hermann Of the national base
bali commission issued statement
here relating to the complaint made by
President Frazee of the Boston Ameri-
cans concerning the arrangements for
the coming worlds series. Chairman
Hermann said that contrary to Mr..
Frazee's idea, coin had been tossed
to decide which league should have the
honor of the first game and likewise
that an agreement had been reached
between the National and American
leagues to the effect that whatever
league won the toss the first three
games would be played in the city OF
that league, while the other four
games, if it is necessary to play that
many, would be played in the city of
the opposite league.

VERMin ATTRACTED BY FOOD
If No Scraps Are Around There VIII
Be Little Trouble With Ants or
Reaches.

The surest way to keep a house free
from ants is to leave no food lying
about on shelves or in open places,
where they can reach it. Ants go
where they find food, and if the feod
supplies of the household are kept in
ant-proof metal containers or in ice
boxes, and if all foods that may hap
pen to be scattered by children or 9th
ers is cleaned up promptly, the ant
nuisance will be slight. Cake, bread
sugar, meat, and like substances, are
especially attractive to the ants, and
should be kept from them.
Reaches will not frequent rooms
unless they find some available food
material, and if such materials can
be kept from living rooms and offices
or scrupulous care exercised to see
that no such material is placed in
drawers where it can leave an sattrac-
tive odor or fragments of food, the
roach nuisance can be largely restrict
ed to places where food necessarily
must be kept.

Washington, Aug. 27.-Pfesident
Wilson, senate prohibition leaders de-
clared, is not opposed to legislation
pending in the senate proposing ma
tional prohibition during the war, but
has suggested that the proposed time
for its becoming effective-January 1
neXt-be extended. Negotiations to
that end, ii was said, seemed to assure
an agreement for the passage OF the
bill, and also for some extension OF
time to liquor interests.
Later, after much cloakroom nego-
tiation leaders said the prohibition
supporters had agreed to fix July l
next as the date when prohibition
would become effective. Although
some of the bills opponents were de-
handing a longer extension, represent
atives of both factions said It ap-
peared probable that July | finally
would be agreed to.
Sheppard at White House.
Senator Sheppard of Texas. mama
ger of the prohibition bill, stated, fol-
lowing a recent conference ut the
White House, that the president did
not object to action by congress on
the legislation, but discussed extend
ing the effective date of the restric-
tons. July /, 1919, was the new date
suggested.
According to Senator Sheppard, the
bills opponents concede its passage
and the only question at issue now is
the time when it will become effective.
The new date, it was said, would
not interfere with government revenue
collections on liquor for the fiscal year
and thus avoid redrafting the war rev.
enue bill, which is based on estimated
returns, of about $900,00O,0OO from
intoxicants.
