SUNSET VALLEY PEOPLE APPRECIATE US

Editor The Times-Herald: r.
Wnen | was requested at our ben
eft ball ON the evening of the 10th
to make a short talk thanking
/ the good people of Burns for
their liberal help and patronage,
my heart failed me when | look

them when all seemed to be en-
ioying themselves SO much.
have not the least doubt thai
everyone present would have
quit dancing and been delighted
to listen to me for the rest of the
evening, but like my Scotch an
cestors | "ha' me doubts.
Nevertheless we of Sunset
Valley want the good people of
your fair city to know that we
appreciate their liberal donations
and help toward our school house
fund.
Friend Byrd, what a fine chance

vidualities on this occasion but
as there were SO many that help

scruples about getting out an ex-
ira edition of your valuable pap

So thanking you once more for
your kind and munifcent help in
q good cause, | will close by eX-
pressing extra thanks to the lad
les of Burns and elsewhere who
donated good things to eat and
so kindly helped with the supper.
assuring them that should they
or their city need aid in right
eous cause the people Of Sunset
Valley will put their shoulders to
the wheel with u will.
In addition / want to give an
earnest thank you to the kind
people who assisted us with such
excellent music, giving US an OPP
portunity 20 meet many nice peo-
pie whom we hope to meet again.

CAUGHT 4 CAT FlSHG)

A few years ago several local
men took up the matter of stock
ing Silyies River with cat hsh
and at considerable expense had
Uncle" George Duncan bring
over the fish from the Chewau-
can IN Lake county. The state
fish commission co-operated with
local people and q notice was
published prohibiting the catch
ing Of cat fish for a certain per-
iod. Now it appears that one Of
our most noted fishermen has de-
liberately broken that law, if re-
ports are true, and is liable 10 at
least severe censured for his act.

It from good authority that c.
f. Mckinney president of the
Harney County National Bank,
caught a cat fish at the grist
mill the other day, but finally re-
pented and resuscitated the (ani-

tIculars ask Mac or any Of the
boys at the mill regarding the
character of the fish.

HINT ABOUT CATTLE RAISING.

At the Idaho State Dairy as
soclaton, held recently at Cald-
well, d. r. Hubbard read a pa
per on Idaho and the Cow. 4"
Among other valuable features
of the paper was one advocating
the advantages gained when the
farmers of each community,
neighborhood or even county,
try to agree upon the cow desir-
ed and buy the sires of that
breed only, whether it be the
milking Shorthorn, the Brown
Swiss, the Red Polled, the Jer-
sey, Guernsey or Ayrshire.
For economical reasons it is
very desirable, first, because it
is possible TO exchange sires,

A. S. Monroe, writing in the
Portland Board of trade Journal
of the possibilities opened up to
the livestock interests of the
Northwest by the establishment
of the big Swift packing plant in
that city, says in part:
1T is a fact that Oregon has
been shipping to other markets
annually 100000 head of cattle,
500, 600 sheep and 100, 900 hogs.
The packing industry of Oregon.
when in full swing. will handle
yearly. an average of 10000
head of cattle, 365, 600 sheep and
292, 600 hogs. These figures must
speak with telling force to the
livestock men of the Northwest
who will thus find a home market
not dependable of railway facili-
ties. The presence of such q
packing center in Oregon en-
courages greater attention to hog,
cattle and sheepraising, and
brings, at once. every acre of
range land into definite value.
Much of the cattle business that
has heretofore been left to chance
will be carefully looked after
from now on, and the state. al
ready known for its splendid
livestock, will speedily take rank
as one of the greatest provision
centers of the world. Portland
will be put on the map as the
base of operations for Western
and Oriental business.

second, it will induce the pure
breed breeders of the kind select
ed to invest in the best quality
of the family and will give the
community a reputation for
breeding certain kind of cattle
such as will induce buyers from
all parts of the country to come
to that particular locality for
their cattle and will undoubtedly
advance the price from $40 to
Sl5 per COW, because a buyer can
well afford to pay that much
more rather than seek his cattle
in isolated places.
In one certain county in Wis
consin, only 2l miles square,
$3.50, 200 worth of dairy COWS

Adyices from Harney Count,

state in industrial, grazing aut

the weary immigrants of the Oh.

that they were leaving behind

occupancy made settlement then
out Of the question They did
not, perhaps, like Rev Samuel
Parker whopassed over the wide
eXpanse of unoccupied territory
between the Missouri and C0lum-
bia Rivers in 1885, indulge IN
dreams of empire and see with
prophetic vision this vast domain
supporting O populous and pros
porous population. They were

lovely wilderness and pass ON 10

ecy was recorded the Indians
have been gathered upon reser-
yations and the white man has
been in possession of the land.

BULGARIA WILL NOT PAY,

SOFIA. Oct. 16-The members OF
the Bulgarian cabinet. who yesterday
accompanied Car Ferdinand to his
Bitriza hunting lodge in the Rilo
mountains. returned here late today
The cabinet has decided to reject
the proposal emanating from London
for the payment of indemnity to
Turkey as a condition Of recognizing
Bulgaria's Independence.
"A note to that effect will be cent
to the powers. The only question
the gov rnment is wiling to negoti'
ate is the purchase OF the rights OF
the Oriental Railroad Company.
A communication has been sent to
the officials Of the road inviting the
company to submit to the government
the terms on whic it will surrender
the lease.
The communication states that Bull,
garia is now administering the Fine

company's rates.
A member Of the cabinet tonight
made the statement that there Will

said also that the r. fusal of bis gov
