CUPPER GIVES
VIEWS Of BILL

The personal opinion OF Percy N.
Cupper, state engineer, OF house bill
No, IFS is contained in the follow
ing circular letter, which he has
mailed throughout the state:
Through house bill No. IT'S, an
effort Is being made to legislate the
state engineer out OF office. I do
not consider this a personal matter,
as I believe II is an attack upon the
present system of handling irriga-
tion matters in this state. and is. In
fact. continuation of the fight
that was started at the recent Ore
gon Irrigation congress, ut which
time the proposition was overwhelm-
ingly defeated on the floor of the
congress. As you know, practically
every irrigation interest In the state
was there represented.
l will call your attention to the
fact that this plan OF handling irri-
cation districts has been conspicu-
ously successful. and other states
are now endeavoring to copy the
Oregon plan. It has required a
great effort to dispose OF approx
mately ss,o00,0oo in irrigation
bonds that have been sold during
the past three years, and It is only
by building up q reputation for
these securities by maintaining irri-
cation on a sound business basis we
can hope to 80 forward with irriga-
tion development on large scale In
this state.
Our present system is operating
successfully. The question is. shall
We continue under this system or try
souA new policy with respect to irri-
CATION development. II you are In
accord with my views and believe
we should go forward on the present
basis. ! trust that you may use your
influence in the defeat of this, meas
ure by writing your representative.

BOY KILLED
Linton Fisher Killed by Fall From
Balcony of the City Hall.

Clinton Fisher, seventeen year old
son of Mr.. and Mrs. C. E. Fisher was
killed Sunday afternoon little after
four o'clock by fall from the balcony
at the city hall to the cement pave
ment below. Nobody was with him
at the time of the fall but Roy Kins-
ley was working at the Sunday garage
in a position to see him fall and west
at once to his aid. He found him
hand cuffed and shackled. Assistance
arrived at once and he was carried up
to the second floor of the city hall and
medical aid sent for but he died 4
very few minutes later His paren.
had been sent for at once but did not
arrive until after his death. The body
was taken to the undertaking parlors
to be prepared for burial. So much
talk was created by the sad accident
that DR.. L. E. Likes, county coroner,
decided to call jury for an investi-
cation. The evidence was all in the
same line and showed there was no
real blame to be attached to anyone.
A number of young boys were in the
firemen's room at the city hall playing
penalty poker. The penalty was that
the loser should be tied up and placed
in a small room until another loser
was declared. Then the first one was
released and Joined the game again.
Several had lost and paid the penalty
before young Fisher. When he lost
he requested to be placed on the bal
cony and was left sitting on the rail-
ing. What happened afterward will
never be known as the boys in the
game were playing again, and knew
nothing of it until the alarm was Civ
en. Kinsley saw the body fall but did
not see how it happened. One or two
tothers on the street also saw the fall,
but none could throw any light on
Just how it happened. The jury brought
In verdict of accidental death with
no blame attached.
Clinton Fisher was a junior in the
high school and young man who made
many friends among his schoolmates
and others who knew him. He leaves
besides his parents a brother and sis
ter to mourn his death and all have
the deepest sympathy of the entire
community in their sad affliction.

Met With South Side Farmers.

The committee from the Holly Com
mercial Club appointed for the pur-
pose of trying to interest a sufficient
number of the dairymen on the south
side in the selling of milk and thereby
establish a milk route which will
mean a receiving station at this point,
met at the Enterprise school house on
Tuesday evening and talked the prop
osition over with a few of the farm
ers. The distance from town is caus-
ing a number of those interested to
look upon the proposition with doubt,
the practice of separating the milk
and selling the butterfat seeming to
be the one that now interests them
the most However, it is thought a
sufficient number will be interested in
giving the route 30 day trial and
the committee feel there will be no
question of the patrons seeing the
benefits to be derived from this source.

posed of A. A Morich, l. N. Swafford

The Veto Aftermath

1t is said that the veto by the form
err President of the emergency tariff
bill has had the effect of bringing huge
quantities of wool and meats into our
markets. One hundred million pounds
of wool are reported on the way to
American warehouses, and thousands
of carcasses of frozen mutton and
beef are being stored away for specu-
lative purposes. Yet the cost of liv-
ing remains about the same. What
little reduction there has been in the
price of clothes and food has been due
to deflation and not to increased i'm
ports. What has resulted is the
threatened ruination of whole indus
tries.

Economy the Cry.

The most recent issue of Treasury
certificates, amounting to s400,OOO,OOO
has been largely oversubscribed. The
banks are still loyalty supporting the
Government in its need for short term
loans. But the ease with which the
money is Forthcoming must not blind
US to the necessity of wiping out the
floating debt of two and a half bill
lion dollars at the earliest possible
moment. The call for economy sound
ed by Secretary of the Treasury Mel
lon must be needed if we are to emerge
from the debt burden that is now up
on US. 1t is certain that Congress and
the executive will cooperate to effect
every possible saving and every citi-
zen must do likewise.

The Union Pacific Railroad is set
ting a great example in its system of
enabling all employees to become stock
holders.
Its system of dealing directly with
its thousands of employees on partial
payment plan is being taken up by
other large companies.
The Portland Railway Light and
Power Co. sold direct at par a mil
lion dollars of it's securities to en-
ployes and customers.
The Standard Oil Co. of California
is placing s15,OOO,OO0 of its stock in
the hands of it's employees on easy
terms to them.

CITY ELECTIONS
orly Onc Ticket Here But Real Scraps
at Other Towns of the County.

High taxes seem 10 have occasion
ed considerable feeling in some of the
towns of the county and both Holly
and Wiley have two tickets in the
field with the taxes as the principal
issue. Lamar with higher taxes than
either of the other towns has decided
to get along with compromise ticket
and no scrap.
The ticket nominated by the city
hail convention ard which will be
found printed on another page is the
only one in the field here and while
there is much dissatisfaction there will
be no contest and it will be elected
and administer the affairs of the city
for the next two years. There were
so many different issues involved that
it was found impossible to unite any
organization on a ticket and without
organization success could not be ex-
pected.
Whatever may be the differences of
opinion as to the methods pursued the
present city government has carried
out the expressed desire of the voters
two years ago for a new light plant.
We will soon know now just how good
a plant it is, and We already know it
has cost enough to be considerable
burden on the taxpayers for years to
come. There were so many of the
opinion that the same people who con-
structed it should have an opportunity
of demonstrating its efficiency that it
was decided inexpedient at this time
ito have n scrap over city politics. The
next two years will demonstrate just
how much the city has gained by the
building of the new plant. The ques-
tion Of economy in the production of
the current is the vital question. If
it has been properly provided for the
plant will in very few years pay for
itself, besides giving us much moro
beautifully lighted city. Let's all be
optimists at least until the plant has
fair trial.

NJ. J. McMillin was in Lamar last
Thursday returning from a trip to

of the state stock inspection board of
which he is president. The board also
had the sad duty of attending the
funeral of Secretary McCrellis, who
had been the efficient secretary of the
board for a period of over twenty
years. He was well known all over
the state to the stockmen as an hon
orable man and highly efficient officer
and it is with the deepest regret that
the news of his death has been receiv-
ed.

Stock Board Issues Notice

The attention of all stockmen is call
ed to the sanitary order of the state
stock inspection board printed in an
other column. This notice should be
particularly read with care in this sec
ton of the Arkansas valley as the
four counties here have been quite
badly infected with mango and unless
the strictest care is taken to eradicate
the disease it will be necessary to take
the same precautions as last year by
dipping at time of shipment. The
disease by early treatment can be pre-
vented in large measure and the warn
ing order of the board should receive
careful attention.
