tario is continuing for the better
ment of Ontario citizens. 1t finds
its way in and out of every pocket,
circulating and strengthening every
store, every home.
Should Ontario follow such a re-
solution II will be but following the
example set by other communities
which are striving for preservation
and some of which are endeavoring
to feed on Ontario.
For example, not long ago the
representative of a new industry in
Ontario called on the merchants OF
neighboring town to solicit busi-
ness and received this response:
I'VE are buying only from our
own mill and pushing their brands,
we will buy nothing out OF town
that we can secure here"
II Ontario would but approx
mate such a spirit of cooperation
that institution which is struggling
for existence would be employing
more people, and thus furnishing
customers for local stores, keeping
the money here at home.
II Ontario would approximate
that spirit II would be aiding to fur
nish a market for the products OF
farms near Ontario instead Of farms
near some other city, and thus per-
NIT the farmers near here to trade
with local institutions.
II ontario would approximate
that spirit II would save in freight
charges hundreds OF dollars and aid
In making the community about II
more self-supportlng, happier and
more prosperous.
The possibilities which the adop-
tion and practice OF loyalty to ones
homo town. to ontario. can bring
about are almost limltless. IL would
appear that this In self eyldoten. but
apparently Il is not. II Ontario is to
grow and be prosperous II must con
serve and preserve It's institutions,
not tear down and destroy them. The
coming year is 10 be one OF testing,
during which the trials OF many will
be long and hard. IL is time which
calls for the constructive thought OF
everyone who Is deeply interested In
tho prosperity OF this section and OF
this city. with the idea that In pre-
sentlng this argument for loyalty TO
Ontario the Argus Is performing a
service, we present II for the consid-

SYSTEMATIC CAMPAIGN FOR
RABBIT POISONING PLANNED
Through Co-operation With Biologi-
cal Survey Farm Bureau Plans
On Death Dealing Distribu-
tlon OF Poison.

l. N. Gabrielson OF the u. s. Bio
logical Survey In charge OF rodent
control work. was present In the
county early In the week to consult
with County Agent Breithaupt In
regard TO rabbit poisoning which
these officials have boen planning
for some time In cooperation with
the county farm bureau. As a re-
suit II was decided TO conduct sys-
tematio campaign over the northern
half OF the county In all communi-
ties which are organized for doing
cooperative work or which perfect
the essential organization.
The plan which will be put into
effect Is substantially an arrange
ment by which the Biological Survey
will furnish an experienced rabbit
poisoner In the person OF e. b, Scar
gent OF Malheur. who has worked
In Klamath and other counties on
rabbit poisoning campaigns, to sup
ervise the preparation and distribu-
tion OF the poison and keep things
moving along the various communi-
ties by moving from one TO the other
during the rabbit poisoning season.
Strychnine will be furnished to the
community farm bureaus on pooled
orders assembled by the rodent con-
troll committeeman, at cost through
the operation of the rodent control
revolving fund made available to the
farm bureau by the county court
nearly two years ago, by means OF
which the farmers have already been
saved thousands OF dollars in the
cost OF poisons without any finan-
cial loss to the county.
The poison will be handled by the
county agent who will distribute II
to the farm bureau organizations in
lots OF ten ounces or more on pooled
orders accompanied by the cash,
For each such order the Biological
Survey will furnish an equal amount
OF poison free OF cost as long as the
supply lasts, provided the orders are
from legitimate organizations cooper
ating in the organized campaign.
This will bring the cost of the poison
to well under one dollar per ounce,
and at the same time puts its distri-
button on an organized aud effec-
tive basis. Owing TO financial strin-
gency and demand for economy on
the part OF the tax payers, the GUS
tom OF furnishing rabbit poison free |
as practioed by the county the past |
two years had 10 be discontinued,
although some excellent work has
been done in keeping the pest under
control at a very moderate expense
as compared TO the bounty system
now In vogue in Harney county,
which has cost the tax payers there
in the neighborhood OF 100000
during the past few years, and pro-
misses to continue the drain indefi-
nitely as witness the rabbit bounty
tenn allowed in that county for ls22
to 100000. :

cities, and on the heels Of the effort
to force the Wallula cutoff onto the
road map, was bad strategy on the
part OF the proponents of the Fair, II
they had any influence with the
Governor at all.
Added to this. the fact that the
legislators got together Just before
Christmas when all OF them wanted
TO be at home or had business inter-
ests that demanded their attention
made matters worse. Then the
Fair lobby had no organization
worthy of the name. II was no time
to secure mature deliberation.
While the opponents Of the fair
have won the first skirmish there is
every likelihood that the people Of
Portland will initiate measure to
be placed upon the ballot either in
May or November and the question
will thus go before the people re-
gardless OF the act OF the Legislature
When Il does II will be fought and
in advance the fair will be handi-
capped.
This being so II would seem the
part OF wisdom for the people Of
Portland to drop the matter at this
time and wait until more united
state can be secured to assist them
in their effort, which they honetly
believe will be OF benefit to the en-
tire state.
