in Conquest, British magazine Of

fine pieces and inspired other workers

BAD MOONSHINE

According to an unsigned letter
which the Argus received last Fri
day, an Ontario woman came near
to death from drinking moonshine
which. the letter alleges, she re-
ceived at n dance at Fruitland. The
the fact that II was written, ostens-
ibly at least. by the girls mother,
or mother-in-law. we are not certain
which. We did not publish II, nor
will we. for II was unsigned. Few
papers print unsigned letters.
There was another strange fact
recorded in the letter. II declared
that this is not the girls first nearly
fatal experience with moonshine,
but her second. 1t appears this
young woman has more luck than
sense.
That the girl got the moonshine
at dance at Fruitland is only a
circumstance in the case, and not
controlling one, in the least. She
might have gotten II in Ontario,
Payette or any other place. Accord
ing to all reports there are any
number of places where Il may be had
in abundance, but this is the first
nearly fatal case of which we have
heard in this section. That is one
OF the things to be wondered at,
Those who has had an opportunity
to view some OF the stills which the
Officers have captured in the county,
have long been filled with wonder
that some OF those who have i'm
bided the product OF these crude and
filthy vessels lived to tell the tale.
Could the customers OF the boot
Ieggers see the vile stun In the
formative stage they would beware

VESSELS BUILT IN SECTIONS
Ships Intended for Operation on Lakes
Far Inland Are Now Trans
ported Piecemeal.

A well-known shipbuilding firm in
the north Of England is at the present
sime building vessel which will he
carried to Africa in portions. 1t Will
be re-assembled at Its ultimate desti-
nation.
Every year ships are built in GreaI
Britain for use on lakes and lnlan
waters in all parts of the world. Usu.
ally these are built and bolted togeth-
er in the shipyard before being taken
to pieces and sent to distant parts in
separate packages.
A large mission steamer built some
years ago for use ON Lake Nyassa, in
Africa, was erected in England as If
for launching. But no rivets were
used; bolts and nuts held the steel
framework together. The sides, port
and starboard, were painted In differ
ant colors, and every bar, plate, and
piece of steelwork bore a different
humber and letter.
Thus the builders In Africa could
longed to one side or the other; the
exact position 1t was intended to Oc
cupy was denoted by the reference
number and letter.
In order to facilitate transport, this
steamer was divided into over three
thousand packages, each of which
weighed from half hundredweight to
five hundredweights.
The greatest difficulty encountered
in sending these ships abroad is with
the boilers and masts. The boilers
weigh many tons, and the masts are
difficult to handle on account of their

one would think.

one would think.
The mother who wrote the letter
asked the Argus to print it as a
warning to other girls of the
dangers of moonshine. Perhaps that
would be real service, but we
doubt it. The girl who drinks such
stuff is past warning. 1t is the
parents who need warming more than
the girls. What of the parents that
permit their daughters to go away
from home to dances with doubtful
companions, or the husbands who
drink such dope with their wives?
How many parents know where
their children are these nights any
way? If the parents were doing
their duty there would be less need
for calling on newspapers to print
warning stories.
On the other hand the people
who buy and drink moonshine
poison are as bad as the moonshiner

who peddles it. II they did not
but it, the bootlegger would have no
customers and the moonshiner
would be forced out of business.
The people may make laws with
out end, the papers may print warn
ings by the ream, but neither will
put common sense into the heads of
some people, and the man or woman
who will take a chance on moon
shine is certainly devoid of good
common sense. We expect to print
the obituary of some of them one Of
these days, and while we will be
sorry for their premature departure,
just as we are for those who commit
suicide, we doubt that the story of
their death will serve as an effective
warning for some folk.

THE COUNTY FAIR

In every sense of the word the
Thirteenth Annual County Fair now
in progress at the Fair grounds Is a
community effort. The success
which it will achieve is due to the
untiring energy of those who have
worked to mature the plans and
bring together the exhibits and ar
range for the program of amuse-
ment. All have done their part at
great personal sacrifice of time,
and of money too, for they can not
be repaid in dollars and cents for
the work they have done.
The agricultural exhibits were
secured through the directors of the
Fair and their assistants in the
Malheur County Farm Bureau, along
with many ranchers from the Idaho
side who came to vie with their
neighbors on this side of the river
Some have come for the money they
might win in prizes, a laudable am
bition, others have come for the
pure love of the game; while still
others are exhibiting because they
want to make the fair successful
and they have the spirit Of co-opera-
tion within them. 1t is fortunate
that we have all these types of
citizenship; it takes all kinds to
make up a community.
The fair directors, and the bust
ness men get nothing for their ef-
forts. Theirs is a public duty which
they have performed we'll, and for
which due appreciation should be
marked. They have been called upon
to decide many knotty problems,
they have met night after night,
have taken their cars and made
many trips, they have worried over
the success of their efforts more
than they have worried over their
private business ventures-and they
have plenty to worry them too
and for this in some cases they will
received not praise, but blame from
some who have done nothing per-
sonally to help the cause This
is the lot of those who do public
work. 1t is to be expected and
discounted. There are always some
who can not properly measure the
cost of such efforts and consider the
pressure under which such move
ments are carried forward.
1t can be truthfully said, how
ever, of this years fair that the
spirit of cooperation has been elo-
quently marked. Few there are in
the city who have not helped. The
general committee has worked har-
moniously, the singers have worked
for hours, the women have done
their part, the farmers have done
theirs, and that is why this years
fair is really successful, and If there
are any sore spots we believe the
spirit of fair play, of mutual con-
sideration, will heal them in time.
The success of this fair however
is a tribute to the leadership of the
fair board and the general com
mittee. They have demonstrated
the ability of securing cooperation,
the real test of leadership. Given
that degree of leadership in other
community efforts and there is al
most no limit which a community !
thus blessed can attain.
