WEATHER. BUREAU MAKES GOOD
FoRETELLS THE BREAKING OF
THE LONG DROUGHT.
Chief Willis Moore Explains What
Il Accomplished-october Rec
ord for Many Years.

Chief Willis Moore of the weather bu-
read Is much pleased that the bureau
foretold the breaking of the long drought
all over the country at the beginning of
the present week, and did it seven days
in advance
I'm connection with the new departure
made by the weather bureau some months
ago." Mr.. Moore said today. when it
began to predict the weather a week or
ten days in advance, I would call atten-
ton to the drought conditions that have
covered the great cereal plains Of the
country for several weeks prior to Sep
TENDER %. and to the prediction issued
by the weather bureau of that date. This
prediction stated that with the opening
Of this week the drought would be broken
by general rains.
During the past two days rain has
been general throughout the whole coun-
try east of the Rocky mountains. 1t will
be seen, therefore, that the weather bu-
reau foresaw about week in advance
the coming Of this great meteorological
event.
THE prediction was seriously received
as L have noted from clippings from
newspapers all over the country, and a
glance at this mornings weather map
Will show how amply the forecast has
been verified

WANT A STAGE LINE.

Mr. c. b. Smith, one of our
new and energetic settlers down
at Waverly was in the city yes
tosday. Mr.. Smith states there
are now about 65 voters in his
neighborhood and since they
have a poStofice at Waverly
thinks they are entitled to a di-
rect mail route. At present he
is carrying the mail ON horse
back from Hartman but thinks
they should have a direct service.
The Times-Herald believes he
is right and with the matter pro-
perly placed before the authori-
ties at Washington it could be
arranged.
Mr. Smith suggests a line to
connect with Lawen by way of
Wavorly J. +. Mahoh's, Alber-
son and on south to Winnemueca
making close connections along
the entire route. This is GER
tainly a desirable proposition as
the present roundabout way of
getting mail to and from the
part of the county is
very unsatisfactory to all con-
cerned.
Mr.. Smith informs The Times
Herald that Waverly now has a
good store with an exceptionally
fine stock of goods conducted by
Mr.. Brakeman. He has recently
purchased the goods of Mr..
stcans at Hartman and moved
them 10 Waverly.

SOUND NATURE HABIT.

That which we call fate is o
web of our own weaving.
Man becomes a slave to his
constantly repeated thoughts and
acts. What he at first chooses
at last compels.
You can easily snatch a pebble
from gravitation's grasp as you
can check your thought or act
from following the force Of hab-
it.
The most unimportant nc.
life is a stone in the structure of
character and destiny.
Habit Is second nature. Ii
either increases the efficiency
and ease Of cur work in life, or
renders our work more difficult
and Ineffective.

complishment OF habit

Taft's electoral vote is in the
neighborhood of 300.
Some peculiar features of the
election are the changes made in
state elections. Missoor gave
Bryan a good majority and elect
ed a democratic governor Ohio
gave Taft a majority and elected
a democratic governor. Indiana
went republican on the national
ticket and elected a democratic
legislature. Some other republi-
can states have elected der e.
cratic legislatures which VIII
send democrats to the u. S. SEN
ate where there were republicans
before. Joe Cannon Of Illinois
has been reelected to congress
in spite of the bitter fight put up
against him.
Taft has carried every county
in Oregon but his majority was
not as large as Roosevelts four
years ago.

President Martin of the Ore
gon Valley Land Co.. whose
holdings extend across the south
ern part of the county, recently
entertained the business men Of
Lakeview at q banquet and out
lined the plan of the company TO
place the land upon the market.
He made IL quite plain 70 those
present that his company would
do great things for the interior
and that their plan Of disuibut-
ing the various tracts was equi-
table. At that time he urged
upon the business men of Lake
view the urgent necessity of
some sort of q commercial organ
ization for the purpose of advanc-
ing the interests of the commu-
nifty in general. This is what is
needed in Burns. Our business
men should get c'oser together
on matters of mutual interest
and in that way only can the
welfare of this section be ad-
yanced. We are all too selfish
and seem TO be looking only to
our own individual interests.
The Times-Herald has a sugges-
tion along this line: The Burns
Athletic Club has very comforta-
bic quarters and although organ
lied for the particular benefit of
our young men, its membership
also includes several older ones
who went into the organization
for the purpose of making a com
munity affair and to broaden its
scope, socially and otherwise.
There is no reason why every
business man of Burns should
not belong to this organization
and meet at stated intervals to
discuss the needs of this section
and taking steps 10 further the
interests of the Haney country.
Every man in Burns will admit
the need of such, yet very few
seem willing to take an active
part and help push. Think this
over and let US have a united set
Of business men pledged to take
an active part in such a move be-
fore .hey sit down to their
TIL, ksgiving turkey.

The Ontario Democrat says
they have strnck small flow Of
oil Ia the experimental well now
being sunk in that place. It
wasn't safe to mention oil last
week but now that the election
is over we may all get right into
the "oil wagon. " Burns hasn't
any immediate oil prospects. but
we do have prospects for artes-
ian water The drilling at the
Miller Springs, from which we
propose to have city water has
materially increased the flow and
if they succeed in getting the
sand bucket which has been fast
ened in the well out, they're go-
ing to get more water

their many friends here who

During The coming two months
government inspectors will look
over every band Of sheep in the
two states, inspecting carefully
in a search for scabies, Eleven
men will be employed in the
state.
BY January their task will be
practically completed. November
and December are chosen for in
spection as during. these months
the sheep are ir their winter feed
lots and several bands can often
be examined in the course of a
day.
There is practically no scab in
Oregon, according to the local
officials, unless a few isolated
cases show up down in the valley,
but for the most part the sheep
are in very satisfactory condition.
Also the Idaho ilocks are practi-
cally free from the disease. but

taken will make matters doubly
sure. East Oreponian.
