PHONE COMPANY FORMED.

The following special from
Drewsey appeared in a recent
issue Of a Portland paper: A
stock company was organized
here Monday with S. S. Will
liams, president, and C. w.
Drinkwater, secretary and treas
urer, who will complete the tele-
phone line between this place
and Harvey City, a distance of
SO miles. The line will be COM
pleted in about two weeks. This
line was started during the early
part of the past year by Camp
bell & Co., of Prairie City, but
was later abandoned, the excuse
being the scarcity of help,
Seven miles of telephone line
which will connect Drewsey with
Van. Ore, a distance of % miles,
also Government forest reserve,
a few miles beyond Van, have
been completed. When these
lines are completed Drewsey will
then be connected with all out
side points.

1t is announced by certain
State Senator that If the people
of the counties want to raise the
salaries of their officials they
have the right. " Good doctrine
Sound in every particular. Clev-
erly put. If the desire exists the
right is unquestioned.
Suppose, however, that we
were to determine this desire in
the surest manner possible,
namely: by insisting that the
candidate for office who believes
that the compensation should be
greater must announce that fact
before election, make it a part of
his campaign platform and give
the people an opportunity to eX-
press their sentiments by their
vote for him or for some other
man who would be willing to as
sumo the office without increase
of pay; what them Ex.

COMMERCIAL CLUB.

At a special meeting of the
Commercial Club last Tuesday
evening the constitution was
amended to cover all classes of
membership which now includes
an athletic branch. 1t was also
arranged so ladies will have GER
tain privileges and no doubt we
may have several ladies who will
take advantage Of it. Juvenile
members may also be admitted.
There were several added to
the athletic membership roll at
the meeting and two to the active
membership.
1t seemed from those who dis
cussed the matter that neither Of
the proposed water bills before
the legislature were satisfactory
and it was decided to wire such
to our representatives at Salem.
Representative Brooke is chair
man Of the irrigation committee
and helped to frame one bill. !
Just what effect this will have on
Mr.. Brooks actions concerning
the bill is problematical. On be-
ing informed that President !

Legislators who are passing
salary grabs over the governor S
vetoes at Salem will find food for
reflection in the result of an cleo
ton at Los Angles Wednesday.
The body polite is everywhere
largely the same in its determin-
ations. In Oregon it is much
the same as in Los Angles, and
in Los Angles much the same as
in Oregon. Proposed advances
of salary for officials was sub
mitted to the people in Los
Angles under referendum vote,
and the virdict was in every in
slant an overwhelming vote
against the grab. 1t would be
exactly the same in every in
stance of salary grab that is be-
ing pushed through the legisla-
ture at Salem were the matter
referred to vote of the counties
and districts involved. The
chances are that in every case
the advance would be showed
under by the vote Of ten to one.
The governor is absolutely
right in his contention that no
salary should be increased dur
ing the term of an incumbent. |
The principle is absolutely sound, |
and Governor Chamberlain is
fully warranted in defending it |
to the last extremity of the veto
power. If the Office holder did |
not want the office at the salary
he should not have become a can
didate. After accepting the office
it is an insult to the legislature
to ask it to become his tool in
working a game Of salary grab
upon the people. The Los Ange-
les landslide against salary
snatching is merely a reflection
of what the verdict would be in
every case in Oregon if the peo-
pie had the chance. Journal.

A subscriber, who is also a
reader of the Oregonian. writes
The Times-Herald for informa-
ton regarding the following par
agraph which appeared in a re-
cent issue of the Oregonian.
Senator Parrish asserted that
this raise in the salary of the
Treasurer of Harney County is
desired by the people of that
county and that the Treasurer
took the office upon the under
standing that the salary would
be raised" F"
The paragraph is taken from
an article bearing upon the rails
ing of salaries of county officers.
The Times-Herald heard nothing
of such proposed raise during the
campaign. In fact it knew no
thing of it until the bill was in
troduced. There was no such
understanding and if left to a
vote of the people of Harney
county there would be no raise
in the salary either.

INDUSTRIAL NOTES.

(Portland Correspondence.
Friday, February 18th, exactly
at two p. m. has been chosen as
the date when the business men
of Portland will talk to the pupils
of the public schools upon the
Importance of their cooperating
with the business interests in
helping to increase the travel
which will come as a result of
the one way colonist rates during
the months of March and April.
The boys and girls in atten-
dance upon the schools will be
asked to write to their relatives,
acquaintance and friends living
in the older states, regarding
these rates, and also to give their
impressions of Oregon as they
know it. Already a number of
other cities and towns through
out Oregon have decided to adopt
this date, and it is hoped that
not less than fifty thousand
school boys and girls throughout
the state may be induced to write
etters. If they do, no one can
estimate the value of this adver-

jority of these letters will be
read and re-read again and
again.
Within the past week announ-
cement has been made that in
addition to the $500 fare from
Missouri River points, $4,000
from st. Louis and $33. 90 from
Chicago, a proportionate rate is
good from every point in the
United states. For instance,
New York $50. 90, Boston, $40. 45,
Cleveland $39.75, Birmingham
$40.25, and Jacksonville $50. rs
are given as illustrations.
The Portland Commercial Club
has now in the hands of the prin-
ter, leaflets giving facts about
the city and state in addition to
these rates, and these will be dis
tributed at each and all of the
schools. Samples of these leaf
lets are available to any reader
of this paper. Oregon should
get thirty thousand new settlers
during March and April.

NNNNNl tNAu W NtNNN hNu hNNAlHN
ment...We Furnish the Land,
Word was recoi- d here by
phone Thursnay morning that
the dry-land experiment station
bill introduced by Senator Parrish
had passed the house and was
therefore up to the governor, as
it had already passed the senate.
1t is now up to the people of
Harvey county to get busy and
fulfill its part in securing this
much desired station in this
county and every good citizen
should join with the Burns Com
mercial Club in this work. The
bill does not say it shall be locat-
ed in Harvey county, therefore
we must move at once as other
Eastern Oregon counties may de-
sire it.
1t is hardly likely that the gov
ernor will veto this bill since he
has expressed approval of the
establishment of such n station,
therefore we should not delay in
taking advantage of it. This is
an important matter to all Har-
ney county and The Times-Her-
aid hopes to see a monster mass
meeting of the citizens held in
the near future and concerted
action taken,
Following is given the partic-
ular portions of the bill;
Whereas, The United States
Department of Agriculture has
offered to expend the sum Of not
less than $25o0,00 annually to
assist the state of Oregon in es-
tablishing and supporting an eX-
pertinent station on dry, arid or
non-irrigated land in the State of
Oregon, provided the State Of
Oregon shall appropriate the sum
of not less than $25OO.O0 for a
like purpose.
Whereas, The people of certain
sections Of Eastern Oregon, es-
pecially Haney County, Oregon,
have offered to furnish necessary
land, permanent improvements !
initial equipment for said expert
ment station: and
Whereas. In order to obtain |
the said assistance of the FEEDER
Al Government, it will be necess-
lry for the State of Oregon to
appropriate at least the sum of
S2500.00 annually toward the es-
adjustment, maintenance and
support of said experiment sta
ion; now therefore,
Be it enacted by the People of
he State Of Oregon:
Section |. That in order to in
yestigate and demonstrate the
under which useful
,lants may be grown on dry,
rid or non-rrigated lands in the
State of Oregon, and to deter
nine the kinds of plants best
dapted for growth on these
ands, there be, and is hereby es-
