PERMANENT RESIDENTS.

Ontario is glad 10 see the residences fill
up that have been vacant for some time.
This is condition toward which many
landlord has looked for months. and in years
past has hoped for.
Now il is question whether Ontario
will be able to hold these people here after
the work for which they have come is COM
bleted. II is true that the very nature Of
2 the improvements underway will tend to
make this city a more desirable place 81
which To live, but are these improvements
alone sufficient to achieve the desired re-
sulti
What else can he done to improve the
city, that will not require too vast an cN-
penditurc 7
In the first place everyone will agree
that; owing to the nature Of sage brush land,
and owing to the fact that the population is
scattered over Il wide area; il is hard Ia make
Ontario picturesquely beautiful.
But that is no reason for not trying Ia
improve the appearance Of the city. If On
tario cannot be noted for its remarkable
beauty il can be spoken of as, "a mighty
clean city. that has improved wonderfully" :"
Woudn't that be mighty good inn
preston Ia have travelling men and OCCASION
al visitors to Ontario spread abroad!
What do you suppose they are saving
now!
They all admit that Ontario is a good
business town. The city is not altogether
to blame for that. But Ontarians can inn
prove the appearance of the city great
deal and at very little expense.
Why could not Ontario have whole
weeks effort devoted 10 "cleaning up and
painting up, and generally making the
town one IN which every citizen will take a
most justifiable pridel

THE CHAUTAUQUA.

Ontario is having Chautauqua tins
week The local committee which signed
the contract did SO, SO long ago that il
promptly forgot all about it and as the re-
suit little. very little, has been done in the
way of publicity.
The attractions are worth seeing, how
ever. and Ontarians will be doing them
selves an injustice not To see and hear what
is offered. The Chautauquas do fill void
in the life of most small cities. There are
too few entertainments of high merit and
educational value, and the Chautauqua con-
denses into few days offerings that would
he missed
The citizen of the rural community
cannot afford To miss the contact with the
outside world which the Chautauqua gives.
1t is not necessary that YOU be pleased with
every program. tho that is desirable, for
many times there is enough inspiration
t lmd in one number to repay one for the
entire course. ~i~~~~
0ntario'S S first Chautauqua is scheduled
Tor this week. There is time to determine
whether or not Ontario is the kind of town
that wants such program. The Argus be
lieves there are enough people here who en-
joy the better class of entertainment, who
want the city to be known as one of the pro-
gresSive communities of the Valley, and
who therefore will support the Chautauqua
movement.

The duty which water has been called
upon to perform in this section has been far
lower than the good of the country demand
ed. That is evident from the demand which
exists now for water rights to waste water
from various drainage districts. OF course,
the fact that So many acres have been total
" ruined by aliali while others close beside
show no such deterioration. is patent evi-
dencc of such waste.
Already there os Il demand for water
rights for thu waste water To be drained
thru the Alalheur Drainage ditch and Of
course this water is 10 be used, 10 irrigatc
other lands. Thus the drainage of 5000
acres about the city means not only the re-
claiming of many barren acres, but the irri-
CATION of many now in sagebrush. And
that is not all. many of the farms 10 be
drained should and will greatly increase
their yield because they will not be water
logged

ed ideas of the candidates. Then too the tho
people, generally speaking, out here IN .Sat Sne
west have the notion well developed tn"'
tbe average candidate to rail against IT,
The reception which greeted the GILL cru,
o;sr, voiced bv Senator Chamberlain while
not u,SI all one sided has proven that. Witness,
ing what many Georges best police, TnIt nn
friends have done. is enough to call a ilai' o''
timorous strategists, oors
All these things being true, 1t appears
that it is altogether likely that the uSoai pa
number of Oregonians will register as ne
publicans and then vote any old way at inc
general election.

PROSPERITY Is HERE.

There are mighty few cities in Oregon
that can boast of better prospects for the
summer of 1918 than can Ontario. It is a
fact that the city. right now, hes better
season before it than it has ever faced in It's
history.
This condition is not due to the war.
either This is the first place Of which we
have knowledge that is prosperous that
can make that statement. The prosperity
that Ontario is to enjoy comes from its own
activity. It is due to the manifest faith
which the people here have in their com
munity. Thru that faith they have had the
courage to proceed to make investments in
the improvement Of conditions within the
city and in its immediate vicinity. The cX-
pendtture of the money needed for this
work together with the great returns of last
years crops combine 10 make Ontario the
Mecca for men seeking work and they IN
turn better conditions for the city.

THE POLITICAL TREND?

daysl So far as the outward appearances
may be judged there is nothing of great
weight on the grey matter under the flow
ing locks of the aspirants for political fa-
vors.
OF course the boys are under handicap
this year. 1t is hard to arouse the people
these days. The war is too big an attrac-
ton To buck with Kerosene circuit act Po-
litical platforms have so familiar a ring and
are so similar that there is little Ia chose be-
tweeN many of the candidates.
For the present at least there seems Ia
be no political lines of cleavage, as there have
been in the past, Everyone wants to win
the war and do so as quickly as possible The
outstanding feature of the campaign seems
to be. "dOn't knock the President.
