THE FIRST STEP.

Ontario can plan development of all
kinds, it can dream of being commercial or
railroad center but it will never realize any
OF its plans or dreams until it has an adj
equate supply of pure soft water.
That is foregonc conclusion.
The question is merely how and when
tins first consideration is to be attained.
The question is whether or not it is better
to let the Ontario Water company fiddle
around with its present plant which covers
only half OF the city, or to take the step to
municipal ownership and go down the line
with the plan presented to the council by
Engineer Kelsey
When this water question is being dis
cusscd it must not be forgotten that Ontario
has just passed thru am epidemic of typhoid
fever; that two years i'm succession have
witnessed the same conditions; that the
water supply is bad decidedly bad; that the
water supply is inadequate, wocfully made

RED CROSS WORK APPRECIATED

AS an indication of what outside people
think of the manner in which the Red Cross
Campaign was conducted in Oregon the let
ters of appreciation received by Chairman,
"A. L. Cockrum as well as that received by
the Argus are given below.
Dear Mr.. Cockrum:
"Your campaign workers braved the
weather and went from house to house and
memberships. There was no hardship they
were not willing to undergo. The distress
ing shortage OF buttons and other supplies
embarrassed them, but they went ahead with
lofty courage They were animated by the
love of our country, affection for our soldier
boys and a desire to be of actual service in
relieving the suffering caused by frlghttul
war: also they were determined Malheur
County should do its full share in the enroll
mcnt Of mambcrs in response to the appeal
of President Wilson asking every man and
woman to join the Red Cross.
''Thc results in Malheur County speak
for themselves. To your heroic workers be-
longs the credit. 1t was individual work
like this all over our state that won again
for Oregon the proud disctinction of being
among the foremost states of our Union in
Patriotic achievement.
"No mere letter of thanks can convey
to your workers anything like the credit
that is thr due. Their devotion demon

MULE BALKs AT N PIE

rlety.

Greenwich, Conn.-Many prominent
citizens OF this community whose
wealth permits them to indulge In pie
were forced to so without their daily
rations unless, perchance, 1t was lemon
pie that they had ordered from Conk-
Inns bakery. A plain, everyday mule,
that hadn't been considered at all IN
the food Administrations regulations,
was responsible.
The mule furnishes the motive pow
er for one Of the delivery wagons OF
the Round Hill dairy. His driver left
him in Greenwich avenue and went
into a lunch room for a light break
fast.
The mule had a hunger. too, and 1t
was accumulated by the aroma that he
inhaled with the clear morning air. He
pulled up to the rear of the bakery
wagon. When the driver Of that We
hicle returned from making u delivery
his stock Of pies was reduced to the
lemon variety. That mule has no APP
petite for the crust that conceals the
citrus.

ROMAN0FFS ARE PLAINLY HOUSED

he is authorized to receive the visit Of
two faithful high functlonaries whom
the revolutionary government permit
ted to accompany him in his exile
Count Frederiks and General Voyekov.
To them he confldes his regrets, his
memories and his hopes.
Nicholas Romanor said recently to
General Voyekov In an accent Of pro-
found resignation:
HAS my life not always been that
OF n prisoner? I do not regret my lost
power. All I ask is to be allowed to
retire to Crlmea. where I could live
surrounded by flowers. I feel more
than ever that l would be peaceful and
happy as n simple citizen Of a repub-
lic."
His resignation In no wise Is shared
by the former Czarina Alexandra. Ev-
erything in her new mode of life
! wounds, shocks aud irritates her.
Nowadays Alexandra devotes herself
to her children, whom she teaches not
to resign themselves but to remember.
What makes her most Indignant Is that
she Is allowed neither to write nor re-
ceiye letters that r not opened by

Paris.-Though things Russian are
rather in dfsfavor just now, a short
account of the life led by the Roma
noffs, the former imperial family, may
prove of interest.
Tobolsk has been called the "City Of
DEATH" Its temperature rarely rising
above the freezing point. Most Of its
houses are built Of wood, the one
where the imperial family lives being
one Of the few brick buildings in that
part Of the country. Its ground floor
is occupied by a company Of soldiers
installed there as n guard. The two
upper floors, consisting Of IA rooms
most simply furnished, constitute the
apartments Of "Colonel Romanoff."
There is neither running water nor
gas, neither electricity nor bathroom,
The servants are obliged to draw from
q nearby well the water needed for
household purposes. The rooms are
heated by brick ovens which burn
wood. The largest room Is not more
than 1G feet by 10 feet.
The windows of the house look out
on an unattractive landscape. There
is not even n garden where the OK.
z might dig and forget his bore
dom. A narrow balcony and a court
yard Enclosed by high brick walls fur.
nish the only breathing spots for the
imperial prisoners.
Live Life Of Refuses.
Nicholas Romanoff and his wife are
practically condemned to the lives Of
refuses. Their sole outing consists In
attending mass at the cathedral of the
A%nnunclation Of at a %neighborlng mon
astery or going to the public baths
where as a special favor the revolu
tionnry authorities permit them tt
battle once a week. Whenever they e
out they are escorted by a platoon Of
soldiers commanded by four officers Of
the guard.
The fare imposed upon the prisoner.
Is Of the most frugal nature. Once nc
customed to the delicate refinement.
Of French cooking, they IRE forced t.
be content with ordinary Russian
dishes: ping. n sort of roll covered
with caviar; bortsch, a thick souI
made of beets and other vegetables
kalacha, n cheese paste.
The people of Tobolsk show neither
hostility nor sympathy toward the OK
lied family. Life in the small town Il
consistently monotonOus. The exist
