ALL ROADS LEAD TO BURNS.

II is not often that Vale has
the pleasure Of fleeting visit from
, several different Railroad mag
mates of different companies in
one week. But if our informa-
ton is correct, and we think II
is, Vale certainly had a surprise
in store for it this week.
The firstman to make his debut
into Vale society and who left
like a streak of lightning on a
clear day was Mr.. Strandley, a
representative Of the o, S. L.,
who is one Of their chiefs Of con-
struction. He probably went in
for the purpose Of looking over
the prospective routes to the in
terror and see what Col. Woods
and Hanley mean with their line.
A few days later, the Great
Northern man Louis Hill was re-
ported to have been seen cutting
high jinks in Vale and like his
predecessor he shot up the NAL
heur Valley on q blind hunt for
something, possibly a pass to the
interior to connect with Des-
chutes branch, and it is not be-
yond conjecture that he was
looking up Col. Woods and Bill
Hanley also. There is certainly
an opportunity there. Then the
latest arrival to come here was a
man by the name Of oliver who
is also reported to be an 0. r. 4
N. and o. S. l.. man. He also
took to the tall timber and fol-
lowed the paths his predecessors
had taken. It looks TO the editor
of the Oriano as If there was
something doing in railroad cir.
cles about Vale and IL everything
comes up to expectations Burns
may hear the toot of the through
engine in the course of a very
short time. Opposition Is the
life of trade and the two railroad
wanting one slice of
pie means a better price for pie
and the bottled interior is going
to rejoice at their increased val
les when the railroads come
along. Vale 0riano.

WATER AND SEWERAGE FEASIBLE,
Both Within Reabh Of Burns at Reason.
able Outlay, Says Promoter.

The problem of water works
and a sewerage system for Burns
has long been a problem that has
worrie property owners and
public spirited citizens. 1t has
been considered at public meet
ings and the city authorities have
given the subject more or less
thought, but to get a sufficient
supply of water for such purposes
at a reasonable cost has been the
main drawback.
M. l., Lewis has given the
matter much thought and he has
been working on a scheme for
some time to supply this demand
and now has acquired title to
what is known as the Tupker
springs which are about three
miles from Burns and an eleva-
ton of some three hundred feet
above the city. This additional
supply of water added to his
Miller springs property. he has
ascertained from civil engineers
will be adequate and give our
city an excellent water system.
Mr.. Lewis is satisfied from the
report of his engineers that not
only city water at a reasonable
cost is feasible, but also an ade-
quate sewerage system may be
included in the scheme. He is
now considering plans for such
an undertaking and will soon be
in a position TO submit them tol
the people of Burns.
The proposition is one that
should be given immediate con-
sideration and The Times-Herald
hopes it will be taken up at once. /
Such a necessity should not be
DELAYED as we should have it in
stalled at the earliest possible
If we are to take ad-
vantage of it and the proposition
appeals to the people proper
steps should be taken to put in
water works. A bond issue
would require a vote and it would !
save time and expense to have this
submitted at the regular election
in March.
Mr.. Lewis has not yet worked
out all details, therefore The B

Times-Herald cannot give any
estimate of cost at this time but
will go into the matter more
fully in o latter issue.

A NEW TELEPHONE COMPANY.

Local men this week organized
a new telephone company to take
over all the Pacific State Tele-
phone & Telegraph Co. lines
south of Canyon City and cover
ing all Of Harney and Malheur
counties. 1t is the plan Of the
local company to make connec-
tons with the outside, improve
the present lines and give the
people of this section good SER
vice.
According to the articles of in
corporation this campany also
contemplates taking up electric
lights and power systems.
The Times-Herald understands
it is the intention to encourage
the building of rural lines and
connecting up all of Harney
county in a system Of telephones
that will bring all in close con-
nection. This is matter that
should be encouraged and prac-
tically every farm throughout
the county should have telephone
communication; thus relieving
present isolation and bringing
our people closer together. AS
it is the man who finds it neces-
sary to send his family to town
for school purposes finds it very
inconvenient and unsatisfactory.
With telephone communication
he is better satisfied and makes
It more pleasant. When such is
possible at a reasonable cost and
an insignificant rental following |
there is no reason why phone
ines should not be extended all
over the country.
Among the stockholders in this
lew company are l.. E. Laurance

The prospects for several gooc

The prospects for several good
substantial buildings being erect
ed in our city next season are
encouraging. 1t is right. The
Harney country is growing and
Burns should forge ahead and
keep pace with the development.
Local business men should en-
courage the patronage of the
people of this big territory and
by proper business relations con-
tinue to prosper.

There should be more attention
given to trees by our farmers in
the valley. 1t may not be prof.
table to set out a large number
of fruit trees in every locality at
first but a few shade trees that
we know will grow adds much
to the farm and these may later
prove quite valuable in the way
of a protection to fruit.

There seems little doubt but
we shall witness railroad con-
