Mr. and Mrs James Pirie made q
trip to Burns Monday but owing
to the severity of the snow storm,
that evening we're compelled to stop
all night at the Gilbert home con-
tinuing their return TO Cow Creek
Tuesday
1t is fashionable to get out ON
the roof of tho various large build
ings in town to shovel off the heavy
weight of snow to relieve the ten
dency toward collapsiug The old
est residents marvel at the heavy
snowfall we have had nd say it
has not been seen as deep in this
valley in the past twenty years
But in all things there is compen-
sation and many predict n large
grain crop the coming season and
already several are talking Of the
need Of Grist Mill at this place
which may result IN concerted ac-
ton along that line.
Mr. aud Mrs Roy Bunyard went
up TO the mill Monday but return
ed Thursday with their house hold
goods as he says he had done moth
ing up there this week but shovel
snow-whicb others have reported
TO be at least four feet deep in the
timber which interferes materially
with moving logs
Quite n number have improved
the time between snow storms to
get in hay and straw for feed, using
their large bob slsds.
The storms have interfered con-
siderably with the schedule time Of
the stages aud on Tuesday the cN-
ira from Burns came lhrou h, meet |
ing the regular stage over toward |
Cow Creek about noon when IL was
due here Monday afternoon.

lack Of interest In giving iuformn-
ton 10 prospective settlers melted
10y selfish desire 10 discourage a
dis ribulion Of the riches of nature
IN Harney Valley but we would
rather think the few replies are due
to the extra work required In the
unusual amount Of feeding and ok

requested that parties who will re-

A letter was received this week /
from the disooyerer OF the process
to manufacture paper aud essence
from sage brush and his attention
having been called to the profuse
growth Of tulos he replies he under
stands they have been utilized for
making chairs and baskets but IL
would require further investigation
10 determine their practicability |
for use as pulp for paper. The dis
coyery Of rubber in sage brush was
made from a different species Of
that growth which il found only
high up on the Rockies. Would il
not be a good idea for some OF our
intelligent and progressive young
people to turn their attention to-
ward the discovery Of other articles
lying around this valley and envi.
ronments 10 see il there are not
other possibilities that could b
evolved from the profuse wealth Of
nature. The Haney Board OF
Trade will gladly give euconrag
ment to the promotion Of any such
new enterprise that viii assist ia
development OF the interests Of
Harney county.
