0NTAR|O CL Ub
RESENTS IDAHO
40 YE Ar PLAN
Business Men Would
Enlist Oregon Delega-
ton to Fight Borah
Bill.

ONTARIO-At a meeting of the
Commercial club directors Wednes-
day approval was given the COM
munications sent to the Oregon dele
CATION in Congress protesting against
the Borah bill which would defer any
payment upon government reclama-
ton projects for FIVE years and ex-
tend the time of payments of the ball
ance for 40 more years.
In this communication it was point
ed out that the settlers in Idaho, UNI
der government plants are not paying
as much in maintenance and principal
as are the farmers under pumping
plants in Malheur county, and that the
Idaho lands are fully developed and
we'll stocked and in every way able to
pay despite conditions. 1t was also
called to the attention of the delega-
ton that lands in Idaho under the
government bitches are held at from
$500 per acre and upward, and that if
there is any place where irrigation
is successful and justifes itself if is
in the Boise valley.
The position of the club is that in
asking for this extension the Idaho
ranchers and business men are brand
ing reclamation failure; that having
had nearly $24,OO0,OOO from the re-
clamation funds; four times what the
state has put into it, the Idaho people
apparently want to keep that for all
time and never repay, while Oregon
ranchers never have had an oppor-
tunity to secure even that which Ore
gon put into the fund.
If the Idaho people can justify their
continued raids upon the reclamation
fund, then truly it is believed here
that the opponents of irrigation in
the middle west have been furnished
an irrefutable argument against fur
Their government activity in reclama-
ton. In plain words it appears that
Idaho wants to boldly rob the re-
clamation funds and prosper at the
expense of its neighbors.
Either this is so or Senator Borah
has introduced this measure with no
personal hope of getting it passed,
but with the idea that it will make
excellent campaign material for him
two years hence. Anyway, Ontario
believes that it is time to call halt
on such practices, if the West expects
any further extensions of the recla
nation service.

CITY BACKS Up
RED CROSS FOR
ANOTHER YEAR
Caldwell Contributions
Almost Equal 1921 Fig
ure But Total Is Short
of Last Year.

Caldwell raised almost as much to
carry on the work of the local Red
Cross chapter this year during the
recent Annual Roll Call as was raised
in the city for the same pur pose last
year. For the entire district, however
the total amount raised will not equal
that of last year by several hundred
dollars, according to Mrs. H. F.. Rob
inson, executive secretary Of the local
Red Cross chapter.
To date about $3.50 in cash has
been turned into the Golfers of the
Red Cross as result Of the drive.
Enough additional funds have beer
pledged or are in sight to swell that
total to more than $1,000 Last year
the roll call raised about $3.50. Oh
that amount however, about $500 went
to national headquarters. This year
only about $500 must be turned over
to the national organization.
While the total amount raised this
year is considerably below the net cost
of operating the local chapter for the
year, a sufficient residue from the war
chest acculumat ton remains in the
treasury to insure continuance of Red
Cross work here for at least another
year. Of the total amount raised this
year, slightly more than $l40O was
contributed in Caldwell The business
district of Parma remains uncanvassed
and it is expected that from this source
considerable funds will be raised.
This year, under guidance of the
Elks lodge, new step was taken when
storage was provided for potatoes
onions and other similar food pro.
ducts. A considerable quantity of this
material has been collected and will BIZ
Used in addition to the Red Cross
funds in ftsrthering charitable work
during the winter months.
In keeping with its usual policy, the
Red Cross chapter will be the center
of holiday activities among the needy
of this district. Other civic organiza
tons which at this season of the year
delve into the business of spreading
Christmas cheer will be aided in dis
tribution of their things by the Red
Cross. This measure prevents dupli
cation, over abundance for some ant
neglect for Others and insures ar
