SIX ROOMS IN SCHOOL BUILDING.

II has been definitely decided
toremodel the public school build
ing, making siS rooms all with
an outside entrance. This course
was decided on Monday and w.
O. White is now drawing the
plans.
The inside stairv ys will be
abandoned, thus giving more
room on the first floor of the
building where the partitions are
to be moved to correspond with
those of the second floor which
will strengthen the building.
The outside exits TO each room
are to ho doors that swing out,
the roof and side walls are to be
completely overhauled and the
entire building made completely
safe before the opening of school
this fall. 1t is a disappointment
to the patrons that il was impos-
sible to have a new building this
but since it cannot be we
should begin to devise ways and
means to accomplish this end at

meeting at the opera house Sat
urday night to see If they can
not hit upon a compromise with
the prohibitions. whereby the
ban will be placed on all liquors
except beer says the Salem

Il is claimed by hopmen and
many leading people throughout
the country that Il is whisky,
cordials and such drinks, which
are the cause of drunkenness
and the hue and cry against the
saloon.
It is not known as yet whether
any ofohe prohis will take part
in the meeting or not, but It Is
very likely there win be some
representatives present to look
broadly at the question.

DISCUSS A CITY PARK.

At a regular meeting of the

ing they took up the matter of a
city park. This is very desirable
and it hoped that il may be ac-
complished. The only feature
that delays immediate action is
a suitable location. The Harney
County Fair Association would
gladly allow the city the privilege
of parking the western portion
of the grounds but could not give
the city complete control, there
fore it is preferred oget another
tract if it can be arranged.

closing ordinance over Mayor
Browns veto but allowed the

TO BEGIN DRY FARMING.

Prof, II, w. Campbell, origina-

system, says in his magazine, the
Scientific Farmer, of the time to
begin dry farming:
Someone asks when is the pro-
per time to begin preparation for
use Of the Campbell method of
soil culture?
Begin when you are ready. Be
gin as soon as possible. Begin
just as soon as you understand
what you are going to do and
why. Begin when the soil needs
attic Jion, and that is about all
the Tine.
No special season of the year
is just the one for commencing
operations, for it all depends up
on the condition of the soil and
the general plan for farm work.
The first step would obviously be
different on corn ground and on
wheat stubble, The character of
the season has something to do
with it.
But as a general proposition it |
is safe to say that the time to
begin is right away. If your
small grain is ready for the sickle
then prepare to follow the binder
