COUNTY COURT.

At the adjourned term of coun-
ty court held Monday and Tues
day. at which both Commission
ers Stallard and Smyth and
Judge Rector were present, they
made an appropriation of $500
for the county fair, granted a
liquor license to Smyth Bros. at
Andrews and made a contract
with H. C. Smith to add a second
story to the vault to be used as
a jury room. The second story
is to be finished the same as the
first. The court also arranged
for the road master to make
measurements of Crane Creek
and the South Fork of the NAL
heur in order to furnish plans
for the construction of bridges
across those streams.

SHEEP MEN ARE IN TROUBLE.

Tom Flynn, Michael and M.
M. Barry and Ben DAILY are in
town and are full of trouble.
It seems that during the Win
ter their sheep drifted over into
the range in Harvey county and
the assessor over there has as
sessed the sheep. The sheep
properly belong to this county
and the range on the mountain
land here nine months or more
of the year, 1t does not look
like fair shake for Harney
county to make the attempt to
filch taxes from Lake county in
this manner, and the sheep own
ers purpose fighting double tax
alton of this sort.
U. S. Inspector Proudfoot leav-
es for the scene of disturbance
this morning and while his Off
cial duties do not admit of his
taking part in the controversy,
he merely goes out to enquire in
to the health of the nocks. -
Lakeview Examiner.
Well, if Lake county sheepmen
have their stock in Harvey coun-
ty on March lst they are quite
likely to be assessed and they
may kick or not. Harvey coun-
ty has been furnishing range for
outside sheep for a number of
years and has decided to tax
them as the law provides. If
these sheep range a portion of
each year in Lake county she
may secure her portion of the
taxes by making proper applica-
ton for rebate. This is not such
a serious matter as the sheepmen
and the Examiner may think.
Stock in this county on the first
day of March should be assessed
here and there is no occasion for
double taxation at all.

The purpose of changing the
date of the meeting of the Ore
gon-Idaho Development Congress
to July and 2 was 10 enable our
people to all attend and not in
terfere with the haying and 9TH
er harvest. Few of our local
people realize the important
work of this league and it is very
much desired that the citizens of
Harney' county become familiar
with it's purposes as this league
will do more for this particular
section than almost any other
agency. Therefore every citizen
should make it point to be pre-
sent. Prominent men who un-
derstand conditions will be on
the program and will discuss
matters of particular interest to
this section. This congress will
make us all boosters and open
our eyes to the possibilities of
the great interior region of this
state.

A VALUABLE FIND,

Our neighbor county is rejoic-
ing in a new find of probably
great value, which promises to
be more than worth while, though
as yet but little known. 1t is an
extensive opal bed, and lies some
thirty miles west of DEMO. in
the extreme southern part of
Harney county, near the McGhee
ranch on Thousand creek, 1t is
in close proximity to the ''petri-
fed forest" on Thousand creek,
which is described by those who
have visited that out-of-the-way
section as entitled to rank among
the worlds wonders. The pet
reflections include trees of con-
siderable size, and specimens Sc
cured by collectors bave been
pronounced among the finest
ever found in the world.
At various times for years
past stones supposed to be opals
have been found in the petrified
forest but they were not suppos-
ed to be of commercial value and
no special effort has ever been
made to mine or market the
gems. Now it is said the stones
have beer found in considerable
quantity and they are of good
size. A number of them were
sent to Los Angeles to be tested
and were pronounced of excel
lent quality. Lindsey DEMO and
four partners who found the
stones have located eight claims.
The Los Angelenos who tested
and purchased the opals became
so greatly interested in the mat
ter that they have asked Mr..
DEMO and associates for time in
which TO make a thorough exam
ination of the property with a
view of purchasing it. 1t is
probable that a deal will be made
and the production Of opals will
become a new important indus
try in Harney county, there be-
ing a considerable demand for
the gems. Ontario Optimist.

HARVEY VALLEY CLAIM DENIED

A press dispatch from Wash
ington says: Secretary of the
Interior Ballinger today denied
the application Of the Harney
Valley Improvement company
for $4,000 acres of land in Har-
ney valley, in Oregon, under the
the Carey act. Ballinger denied
the application on the ground
that the land is not of a desert
character and also because in his
opinion the plans of the company
are not feasible.
The company had appealed
from the decision Of the land of
fee, which acted upon the re-
port of the inspectors. The COM
pany has 80 days in which to ask
for a rehearing.

According to the Blue Mt.
Eagle the Sumpter Valley Rail-
road will build into the John Day
Valley this year if given proper
encouragement. 1t seems the
road desires a bonus of $40, 900
and would like to be exempt
from taxes for a period of years.
The bonus is very reasonable
since it is said the road will cost
SIG, 600 per mile and there are
40 miles to be built, but the tax
exemption doesn't strike Grant
county very favorably, or at
least the Eagle.
