has been confined to his home.
THAT Goldsboro is all right and is
going forward is abundantly in ~evi-
dence every day-''newly discovered
evidence as the lawyers say. from
day to day. Just read The Argus and
vou will find this evidence in every
issue.
The Argus is glad to welcome to
the city and to our business circles
Mr.. VIM. Haywood, of Fayetteville,
Young gentleman Of pleasing address
and business capacity, who has rented
the store at 122 Walnut street, east,
where he has opened up full line OF
confections, cigars, and small brew
beverages and has fitted up his at
tractiye establishment in line style.
We commend him cordially to the
trading public and wish him full
measure Of success.
We have heard much of the blue
Italian skies and the fine peaches OF
Georgia; but no skies are bluer than
Goldsboreans look into at home, and
no peaches are finer than those grown
right here around us. We have never
seen finer peaches than basket laid
on our table this morning by Mr.. John
M. Mitchell, grown on his fine farm
in Fork township. He has been sell
ing peaches from his trees since
April %, and from seven trees alone
he has netted $45, besides what his
family and friends have enjoyed.
Mr.. Jake Hettleman, formerly in
business herein the days of the
open saloon, but latterly in the green
grocery business in Washington, D
c., is here today shaking hands with
old friends on every side, who are all
glad to see him, for Jake was popular
and a square dealer" He says prog
ress and prosperity are in evidence on
every hand in Goldsboro and so con-
vinced is he of the bright future
in store for US that he has
since coming here decided to
move his business and family
here and again become a citizen Of
The Best Town in the State. He has
rented store on Walnut street oppo'
site the City Pharmacy and will ruI
an up-to-date fresh meats and grocery
establishment. The Argus bids him {
cordial welcome.
1T is good sign in this State
that the towns generally are waking
up to the need for capitalization O

better together to this end, and th'
good results are already apparent
There is more public spirit in th

man; consequently Oregon is avid
for any relief from Harriman's
grip; consequently the unsuspect-
ing taxpayer, the average legislator
and even "Honest" George Cham
berIain, then governor, now sena-
tor, looked with favor on the propo-
sition to "defy" Hartman with a
state-buiIt and state-owned line into
country which oven Hartman says
he could not himself build a rail-
road with profit.
"GentIemen," said Hartman
when he was asked last summer to
build a railroad to Central Oregon
over the route Of the proposed state
highway, "when you can show me
something beside jackrabbits and
stage hens, then ! will biuId a rail-
road through this country"
Perhaps before the people vote,
they will be able to see what Harri-
man saw. Perhaps they will dis
cover before they cast their ballots
that they are planning to put their
railroa dthrough miles upon miles
of arid deserts, of alkali wastes, to
open territory under the thumb of
few men, men who can dictate
their price for water rights. for
farms, and who can say who shall
profit by the railroad that the peo-
pie will have built. Perhaps the
voters will be brought to under
stand that they are planning to
build the railroad only into the
Harvey valley, that there are to be
no other lines where there are al
ready settlers and where traffic is
ABSURD until the steel rails are laid

they will realize that they are about

pouring millions into the Golfers o.

Since many fat ladies will not

open to this well-meaning scribe
other than to tell them how they
may eliminate the fat.
What is there, then, that reduces

tell you is that Harvey county,
forming a large portion of the Har-
ney valley, is veritable oasis,
beautiful, fertile-an oasis shut in
by great, bare, bony ridges, by des-
olate reaches of alkali sand and
sage.
Burns is the county seat. Burns
is 105 miles from the nearest rail-
road and there is not a mile of
railroad in the county.
Now over the broad, fertile acres
of Harvey county William Hanley,
once a cowpuncher, now a cattle
king, is dictator. Back of Hanley
are numerous land holding corpora
tons. And back of the corpora
tons are some of the biggest men
of Oregon-bankers, lawyers, capt.
talists. Notable among them are c.
K. s. Wood, Henry Ladd Corbett
and County Judge Webster. How
Hanley, with these men as his asso-
ciates, through one device or an
other, became dictator over a rich
American empire, is outside this
story, 1t is enough to say here that
Hanley and his associates now con-

of the water sources of the valley
