HILL TO GIVE PRIZES AT FAIR.

The secretary of the Harvey
County Fair Association was a
member Of the reception COM
mittee to meet Louis w. Hill.
President of the Great Northern
Reilroad, and when discussing
the gathering of products to form
the exhibition car desired by his
railroad he expressed a desire to
assist the committee from the
Commercial Club and the fair
management by giving some
special prizes at the fair this fall.
The matter could not receive par
ticular attention during his short
stay at this time but will be taken
up later with Mr.. Leedy who is
head immigration and colonial
ton ag5 mt of the road.
Mr.. Hill was pleased with the
prospects Of an excellent display
of Harvey county products and
commended the manner in which
it was going to be gathered.
He stated that they found the
county fairs a great benefit and

THE WAR CONCERT.

The public library and town
clock benefit to be given by the
Ladies' Afternoon club at the
Presbyterian church Tuesday and
Wednesday evenings, promises
to be quite interesting. 1t is an
"Old Time War Concert" and
the numbers will be entirely of
songs of that time with appropri-
ate costumes. The choruses are
all lively and the music is of the
kind that appeals to all.
The first evening, homemade
candy and popcorn will be served
and on Wednesday evening Ice
cream and cake, doughnuts and
coffee will be served in booths at
the front of the church. The
proceeds of these two evenings
will be divided equally between
the public library and town clock
funds.
Tickets are on sale and it is
hoped the house will be filled
both evenings as the cause is a
worthy one and the entertain
ment will be good.

tits reported in a Portland
paper that the Road Land sale
has been completed and that the
new owners viii be in this place
at once to open an office, examine
and classify the land and get it
ready for the market. This is
one of the best moves toward
the development of this territory,
aside from Mr.. Hills railroad,
that has transpired in a long time.
The road lands are some of the
best in the west and the coloniz-
alton plans of the new owners
means a rapid change from its
present state to that of homes.

always took a deep interest in
them throughout their territory.
Definite announcement of these
special premiums will be made
later and it will be an incentive
to our farmers for greater effort
and interest in the local fair next
October. Mr.. Hill will have rep
resentatives here at the fair to
select what they desire to place
in the Car and assist in getting
the products in shape, 1t is
therefore important that extra
effort be made toward a greater
display than ever before. While
he did not say what prizes would
be offered it was suggested to
give them for fruit, wheat, barley
oats, potatoes, onions, sngar,
beets, etc. This is a tip to our
producers that should be Suit-
icient and The Times-Herald
believes our people will respond
to tbs important matter and do
their part toward getting up a
fine display of our products. 1t
should be remembered that other
couties of the interior will be
represented and Harvey county
should not be excelled in any
thing. We can do as well or
better than some of our neigh
bors and all should strive to that
end.

we would get one in the very
near future.
Hon. A. w, Gowan spoke of
past disappointments and of the
encouraging prospects of the i'm
mediate future.
DR.. w. l.. Marsden then fol-
lowed with a fine talk as to the
sentiment of the people of this
region toward the Hill interests
and paid a most glowing tribute
to the great empire builder.
James j. Hill and his worthy
successor, l.. w. Hill. The doc
tor recounted in an amusing vein
the confusion of the reception
committee as to how best to ap-
proach Mr.. Hill and how they
were pleasantly disappointed
when they met him. He spoke
of Harvey county's future as a
producer and how the people
were going into the bleak north
looking for grain lands that could
not in any way compare with the
great Harney Country. He clos
ed with another tribute to Mr..
Hills high character and the eX-
cellent worth of the man and pro-
posed a toast to the Hills, father
and son, and VIM. Hanley.
After a few remarks by Mr..
Hanley Mr.. Hill was called on
and he at once expressed his ap-
probation of the honor paid his
father and the warm manner in
which he had been received by
the people of Burns and Harney
county. Mr.. Hill said he had
been cast in q new role since
coming into the interior as here
tofore it had been his business to
scatter the saw dust and spread
the net for the circus performers
but since his father could not
make the trip he must be one of
the performers. He discussed
the coming of the Great Northern
as a matter of fact and left no
doubt in the minds of all that the
road would come to Harney coun-
ty. No doubt a definite an
nouncement will be made upon
his return to Portland after look
ing over a greater portion of CEN
tral Oregon.
An excellent luncheon of sand
wiches and grenadine punch was
enjoyed followed by an informal
talk with those present. Both
Mr.. Hill and Mr.. Leedy took a
deep interest in the products, the
lands and the general conditions.
Mr.. Hill told Register Fare of
the local land Office that he would
make him the busiest man in
Harney county next season.
Col. 0. w. Seaton and c. c. |
Morrison did not arrive here in |
time to take part in any of the
owing to breakdown |
Of their automobile. Both these
gentlemen are connected with |
Mr.. I.eedy in his work of adver-
tising and colonization. The en-
tire party went to the p. Ranch
Wednesday and spent Thursday
there resting leaving yesterday
for Lakeview by way of
Catlow valley. They will go to
Silver Lake, Crater Lake. Klam-
lth and on through to Medford,
then return to Portland.

It MUST Be THE ELECTION
Man and Wife Got Off Train and
Left Wee Baby Asleep on
Seat = Forgot 1t.

A few days ago, according to story
being told by Palestine attorney, a
man and his wife who were passen.
gers on the same train with him, ar.
rived at their destination, small
station, and got off and started up
town, while the train pulled out for
the rest of its journey. Just after the
train left the station, another lady
passenger on the train found a little
baby asleep on the seat next to the
one occupied by the late passengers.
She remembered that the couple were
accompanied by a baby when they
got on the train, and at once raised
an alarm, calling the conductors at
tention to the fact that he had a
baby too many aboard. The conductor
pulled the train down, and went back
to the rear to see if there was any
demand in sight for the baby, and
sure enough down the track at break
neck speed came the man after his
baby. The little fellow was handed
to him, and he acknowledged that in
the excitement of leaving the cars
they had forgotten the baby

JOHNSON AT DALLAS
Over $500, People at Machinery Hall
Last Night-lntroduced BY
Senator Chiffon.

Dallas, Texas, July 21.-In the clos
! ing stages of campaign made no
| table, particularly so in the past few
weeks, by cross-state dashes anG
forceful addresses in all portions Of
Texas, it seemed appropriate that
Hon. Cone Johnson should on the
night before the final dash down the
home stretch speak in the political
center of this state to probably the
largest audience assembled in it dur.
ing this campaign. At Machinery
Hall, in the State Fair grounds which
had been secured for the occasion,
seats were placed for $780, These
were filled an hour before the candi-
date appeared, and a fringe of those
unable to find seats stood upon all
sides. The attendance was estimated
at considerably more than 1900.
The candidates reception was en-
thusiastic to degree. His appear
ance was the signal for applause,
which rolled, one wave of cheers up
on the other. Prior to his speech the
mention of his name and illusions to
the cause he espouses evoked similar
demonstrations Downtown, late in
the afternoon, even when delegations
from outside cities began arriving
and gathering in front of the Oriental
Hotel, the cry of one man, "Hurrah
for Johnson" was the signal for re-
shouts of the cheer
1t may be said that Mr.. Johnson to-
night combined, condensed and focal
lied the most potent thoughts he has
been expressing in his addresses
the state, and gave his
Dallas audience a synopsis of the |
things he has said in various speeches
If late. This concentration rendered |
he effort one of the strongest argu-
nents he had made upon the general
ines of prohibition, for statutory pro-
libition, should submission be repu-
lated, and against the position of
hose who contend the state cannot be
id of the saloon by legislative enact
nent.
Mr.. Johnson was preceded by sew
raj speakers whose names are famil-
ar in Texas politics, each of whom to-
light contributed to the political his
DRY now being made.
Senator Horace Chiffon, who intro
uced Mr. Johnson, testified in high
erms to the record of the Tyler man,

favorable location of the camp at Va
