What is this new industry that has been going

most prolific, in what kind of water they prefer
to live, and how they be raised" Representa-,

EVIDENTLY MIsQu0TED

Receiver Gowan had a column
interview in the 0regonian the
other day in which he gives a
glowing account of this section
and has many good words for the
Harvey country. He is quoted
as saying the Oregon Eastern
railroad has filed right of way
maps for its road covering the
entire distance over the territory
of the Burns land district. In
quiry at the local land Office
shows this to be a mistake. No
right of way has been filed furth-
er than the Crane Creek gap and
that filing was made last August.
However that may be the ac-
tivity of the surveying parties
would indicate that further filing
may be made almost any day, as
il is the general opinion that the
route has been definitely located
throughout the district.

w. H. Fritch of Oklahoma ar
rived here Wednesday afternoon
10 look over the country. He
comes as the representative of a
number of families who want TO
come 10 the Harney country, but
considered it best to get informa-
ton first handed from one of their
own neighbors before making the
venture. Mr.. Fritch had not
seen much of the valley when he
was talking TO a representative
of The Times-Herald, but had
visited a few of the small young
orchards in the residence portion
of Burns and found conditions
far better than he had expected.
He was most favorably Impress
ed with the fruit possibilities at
this time and as that is the line
in which he is most interested
was particular in his examination.
He states positively that we have
better prospects for fruit than

The Times-Herald is DR.

The Times-Herald is proud to
call attention to the reports of
our two National banks which
appear in this issue. The flatter-
ing conditions are an index to
the general prosperity of the
Harvey country and is one of the
best advertisements possible for
our section. This is the first re-
port ever made by the Harney
County National, it having been
placed under government super
vision only a week prior to the
date of the call for a report. 1t
is a good showing.

The aggregate amount now in
vested by the plople of Burns in
private water system for domes-
tic and irrigation purposes is an
enormous sum and would build
one of the best water works pos
sible for a town of this size. Of
course we are out that much in
dividually and feel, possibly. that
a tax for city water works would
be an imposition at this time.
This is q m- ,cr for US to consid-
er and take action upon. The

bic TO any move for the better

cost is commensurate to the bene-

CHIEF ENGINEER RETURNS.

Carl Straddley of the Oregon
Eastern surveyors returned here
last Wednesday, and is again in
his Office. Mr.. Straddley informs
The Times-Herald that he had
just completed a 600 mile trip by
team but gave out nothing for
publication as 10 the movement
of the various surveying parties
under him. IL was learned that
they have found four passes 10
the west from this valley with
only a slight variance in the grade
of any OF the four. just what
route is most favored is not known
however. While operations con-
tinue lively there is absolutely
nothing being given out as 10 fu-
ture work or the slightest hint as
10 when construction may be eX-
Eected.

considerable importance and one
that deserves consideration. II

Arrangements for the proper
celebration Of the 18th of July in
Burns have gone far enough TO
insure the public of a good time.
While the program is not entirly
completed, il has been made at
tractive in many respects and one
that will be appreciated by all of
our visitors. The Times-Herald
hopes the business men of Burns
will give this their individual in
terest and support. II cannot
be made an entire success with
out particular effort upon the part
of all TO assist. The people come
10 this little city each year on
such occasions for entertainment
and we should not disappoint them
II is possible TO make the celedra-
ton this year more interesting
than any former year, so let us all
take a hand. The speed progrom
had 10 be printed in order TO reach
horsemen, before the other ar
rangements were completed but
we will have other attractions
that will be announced through
the papers.

portions of the willamette Valley
and California as he visited both
sections while en- route here.
Mr.. Fritch would like to find a
suitable location here for nur-
sery and believes 1t could be made
a success. He has had some ex-
perience in horticulture and an
other gentleman who is interest
ed with him, is an old time nurse
ry man. He states that he was
discouraged from coming here by
several who assured him it was
no place for such a business as
he contemplated and he had make
up his mind that If he found it as
some had represented it Harvey
county would see him merely
pass through and nothing more.
Happily Mr.. Fritch was most
agreeably surprised and is now
out in the valley looking for HIM
self.
The high altitude here makes
horticulture most profitable. as
earlier sections market before
our fruit ripens and thereby gives
the products of this section a
market without competition.
This section seems particularly
adapted to the raising of berries
and the crop is never failing.

With such excellent prospects
for fruit local people should take
even a deeper interest in keeping
the trees free from pests. 1t is
really some trouble to do this and
some little expense, yet the re-
suit will justify it, besides it is
an injustice to those who do take
pains with horticulture to have
carelessness displayed by his
neighbor. We should not neg

Importance than many realize.

 Jacques
VAUDEVILLE.

The atmosphere at Jacques last ev- ening savored somewhat of baseball. The Waterbury baseball team occu- pied box seats at the request of Man ager Clancy and one of the principal numbers of the program, Play Ball, contributed by Welch, Nicely and Montrose, was a burlesque on the na- tional game. Although Charles k. Evans & Co, are supposed to have the first place on the bill, Welch, Nicely and Montrose were in line for first honors as their number went of with a bang. Charles Evans & Co in the one act farce by George Arliss Its Up to You, William" was very we'll received. The skit deals with a couple of hubbies who pretend they are going on a journey to America but in reality remain in Scotland while their wives are under the im- pression that they have gone abroad. Shortly after their leaving word is re- ceived that their ship went down and all on board were lost. The husbands are thought to have been drowned so on their return they are kept rather busy trying to tell their wives how they escaped. The act which receiv- ed the applause last night was the opening number, Goldsmith & Hoppe musical comedians Their musical renditions. were good and one of the team had the audience in a scream throughout. His movements while posing as a bandmaster were indeed Imaginable. Agnes Maher, toe dancer with her side partner Flora caper around the stage, but they could not make the audience enthuse.

PUPILLA'S BAND.

It is very seldom that theater goers
 witness such a scene as was enacted
 at Polls a few weeks ago on the oc- casion of the first visit of Pupilla's s Italian band. The auditors were so startled and amazed by the effects which the. famous bandmaster's se- leetions prpduced that for several sec eonds they sat silent in the seats. Then the audience rose up and cheer ed the leader for several minutes. It was a rare occurance and the band deserved the unusual welcome. Pupil la and his band of 60 men will be seen at Polls theater on Wednesday, matinee and night. The event should arouse much interest among music lovers in this city and no doubt a large audience will greet the gifted Italian. Prices 25c, S5c and 50 cents.
