A get TOGETHER" MEETING.

A special meeting of the Burns
Commercial Club was held Thurs
day evening at the club rooms
and was largely attended.
VIM. Hanley made the prin-
cipal talk of the evening dwelling
at length upon the necessity of
organization and unanimity of
purpose in the development of
this country. He took up the
matter of conserving the waters
of Silvies river and other streams
leading into Harvey Valley. He
also impressed upon the people
of Burns the Importance of be-
ing in readiness to take up rail-
road propositions. While he is
confident Of. early railroad con-
struction Mr.. Hanley could give
his hearers no definite informa-
ton as to when actual construc-
ton would begin. He has been
absent for several months and
had visited New York, Washing
ton D. c., Chicago and other f.

nancial centers where he came
in touch with big financiers.
The whole trend of his talk
was in a spirit of get together"
and had an excellent effect upon
those who listened, yet ii lacked
concentration. His suggestions
were good and practical but the
people of Burns are not yet suf-
ficiently enlightened to take any
definite action since they do not
know what to do.
1t was quite evident from Mr..
Hanley's talk that he does not
believe the main line of the rail-
road would come to Burns but
would be ready to put in a branch
if the citizens of this city showed
the proper spirit to do their part.
This was assured by speakers
who followed and the interest
manifested showed a disposition
to do things as soon as they were
given definite information as to
what was expected of them.
Mr.. Hanley stated he believed
IL nossihle to interest the neces-
sary capital to take care of the
surplus water and place it upon
the land, thus bringing it to a
much higher state of cultivation.
This is a move much desired and
the people who will come for
ward with feasible plan to pro-
perly irrigate and drain Harney
Valley will find the progressive
citizens of Burns standing back
of them to a man. We all rea-
lize the Importance of this pro-
position.
Mr.. Hanley stated he had pro-
missed a car load of products from
the Harney country this fall and
asked the club to see that such
was gathered. This was met
with enthusiastic response and a
committee of three will be APP
pointed to work in conjunction
with the Fair Association to
gather the necessary produce.
This will be taken up with the
farmers at once and the car made

Sowing Wild Oats

There has always been an err
roneous impression in the minds
of some people that some time in
his life every man must sow
wild oats, and every once in a
while somebody asks when is the
best time to do the sowing.
Last week an inquisitive person
wrote to the philosophical editor
of the Manchester, Iowa, Press
and asked when he thought was
the best time to put in the crop.
His unique reply, which answers
the question fully, is as follows:
''The best time is between the
ages of "a and 92. The young
man who thinks he can drill in a
juicy crop of wild oats at the age
of sixteen and cultivate it with
several pints a day, cheap calico
and a striped deck, until he is 30,
will find himself beating a well
worn path to the inebriate home
when he ought to be doing a
mans work for an honest wage.
The platform lecturer who tells
you at $35 per night and the
price of a rump steak that every
boy must sow his wild oats, is a
bigger ass than Balaam's colt
which became angered with its
mother because she withheld the
daily pabulum, and tried to kick
the rim off the Milky Way. A
six-ply drunk is about as good a
password to the confidence of the
business community as a record
for house breaking, and the cal
low youth who goes to the mat
with a half-pint of red-eye as a
steady diet will be as much of a
favorite in the betting as a one
legged man in a hurdle race.
The boy who thinks more of a
tri-weekly jag than he does of
the feelings of a good father and
mother, merely adds venom to a
memory that will sting him until
he cashes in. The towns are full
of young fellows who have gone
up against the wild oats PROPOSE
ton with the swagger of a pop
eyed pullet, and who are as
worthless for work purposes as a
club-footed gelding. If you are
bound to SOW a good crop, wait
until you reach the age when you
have to take your teeth out and
clean them in the sink, while
whistling softly through your
gums as you converse with your
loved ones"

No Use for Numbers.

The school census taker stopped
at little hut in the mountains
of Kentucky, and addressing the
mother of an unusually large
flock of children, said:
Madam, l am taking the
school census. How many child
rem have you between the ages
of 6 and"
"Lemme see," she broke in;
there's Katy an Mary an
Annie an Jake an Will an
Harry an Jim an" She
paused for breath and her call
er made haste to say: Now

Oregon may be attributed the
progressiveness of the Hartman
people, as they will be compelled
to fortify themselves against the
Hill invasion of western Oregon
by means of the Oregon Electric
and the United Railways.
The Natron cutoff will soon be
completed between Springfield
and Odell, and it would furnish q
suitable link in the chain Of
branches across the state. From
Odell the road can be built east
ward through the level sage
brush lands and bunch grass
fields of Lake and Harvey count
les to Burns, thus completing the
chain.
Newcomers are now flooding
into these counties for the pur-
pose of taking up public lands,
and it is estimated that by the
time the road could be completed,
under the most favorable circum-
stances, a great portion of the
new arid lands will be pretty
literally settled.
The Vale-Burns project is sup
posed to be handled by the Ore
gon Short Line, and it is report
ed that n contract for a portion
of that work has already been

TEA.

We have learned that a good
cup of tea to a tea drinker is
considered as delicious az a good
cup Of coffee is to q coffee drink
er. Both, of course, must be a
judge of Quality. Judging Quail
ity in tea is acquired by careful
and moderate use. The expert
tea testers use tea moderately
but can detect by a slight taste a
defective blend in making up a
tea that will not suit the lady
who is anxious to please her hus-
band. We will gladly talk good
tea to you at any time. We
know all about good tea and will
not sell anything but good tea.
