There is more or less uneasl-
ness among homesteaders in this
county on account of the number
of contests instituted by special
agents with the aid of inquisitive
neighbors. The homesteader
who has done the best he could
under the circumstances and
shows a disposition of good faith
has little to fear from such investi-
cation. There are no doubt well
founded contests filed in this dis
tricts and on the other hand there
are those that cannot be sustain
ed and a real imposition upon
honest and well intentioned home
steaders. The informer is not
held in highest esteem by his
neighbors and will likely find in
the end that it doesn't pay.

While 1t is rather a dull week
for railroad news it has been as
serted most positively on good
authority that both the Hill and
Hartman interests are positively
going to build through the Nal
heur canyon to the Harvey coun-
try. Just when these lines will
run through this valley it seems
has not been definitely deter
mined, but it is practically as
sured that both lines will touch
Burns. This is but another evil
dence of the wisdom of getting
together by local business men
and being prepared to meet any
emergency that may arise.

| don't care what Advertising
you do"
you can't do the things a big
city can. But you can make
every man, woman and child in
your city an advertiser, You
can get your boys and girls to
the point where they will answer
Yes, live in Baker City, thank
God. And where the boys will
try to bloody the nose of boy
who says something that is not
nice about the town."
But you've got to get together.
But you've got to quit knocking,
You must boost, all boost. But
you must tell the truth. The
truth is enough"

BURNS NEEDS SOME OF THIS.

The following is taken from
Tom Richardson's address at
Baker City.
Il have been told that Baker
City men could buy champagne
but they couldn't buy postage
stamps" "
This subscription list is a dis
grace to you. A little country
town of 300 could do better" "
This town spent more money
to hear one great artist sing
Madame Schumann-Heink than
it had spent in three years in
advertising Baker City,"
THE men who impose on the
business men and expect them
to do all the community adver-
tising are criminals.
"The rich man who puts down
MS name on tnlS SUBSCRIPTION list
for one dollar ought to be in the
penitentiary."
Dig! Digl Get down where
it hurts. And bring up money.
Real money. Money that means
something"
''You can add millions to the
valuation of this town by adver-
tising."
Tell the truth. Be honest
with yourselves. Quit hiding the
other fellow"

ditions in a city is the newspaper

IS THANKFUL.

Fund Gone, Land Office Drops
15," is the head Of a news item
in the Oregonian of March Is,
which gives names Of the has
beens," and also states that at
the office Of Chief Of Field Ser
vice Christensen the action Of the
department Is regretted as ham
pering the efficiency Of the SER
vice.
1t is said that at no time in the
history of the Oregon-W Washing
ton districts have so many home
stead entries, timber claims and
other land filings awaited lin
vestigation." BY the removal
of SO many special agents the
work of clearing the public do
main of Illegal fences will also be
retarded.
Let us thank God and Secreta-
ry Ballinger for this; with the
discharge of these special agents
and administration Of the land
laws along the lines of common
sense, the public lands will be
settled, and DEVELOPMENT of this
section, at least, will proceed as
it should. There will be less i'm
migration TO the Northwest
Territory and the many contests
now pending in the Burns Land
Office will be allowed to go by
default and the poor devil of a
settler come into his own.
Pestered, annoyed and intimi-
dated by lot of graduates from
correspondence schools of detec-
lives would have soon unsettled |
Harney county.
That awful bugaboo illegel
fencing the public domain-how
he special agent has worked it
some of them became so ex-
)ert they could stand with their
,ack against a rim rock and see
fence a mile away behind them.
But then let us not complain Of
he horrors of the past but rather
ejoice and be thankful for the
of the end of the re-
'ime Of the Special Agent.

however, for the purpose that

A community is an aggregation
of homes and consequently is the
common home of its residents,
however large or small in number
they may be. Therefore just as
every member of a domestic
home takes, or should take, a
PERSONAL interest and pride in
that home, loves it and contri-
butes in one way and another to
its welfare, so ought ever men,
Der of the communal home to do
his or her best to make that
home, prosperous, attractive and
a desirable place in which to live.

Soldiers Home. Richmond. Va. Nav 27
To The Free Lance
The comet has come and gone. the
crisis has passed and old mother earth
Is still here doing business at the same
old stand. and | think the comet of 1910
has made as big failure as DIR. Cook
made IN trying 10 find the North Pole.
and am sure it has humbugged peo-
PIE worse than the Republicans did
when they revised the tariff up in
stead of down. ] was hoping to see for
the second time the grand sight that |
saw IN 1895. when / was eleven years
old, but ! was sadly disappointed: il has
behaved so badly that am ashamed of
IL That little puny thing that some
people say they saw before day and
after night was no more to be compared
TO the comet Of thirty-fve than flea
rs 70 an elephant, and the scientists
have failed TO account for il satisfac-
torily TO my mind. Now | don't pro-
Tess TO be an expert scientist. but the
only explanation that | can give for its
behavior is that it did not travel the
same course this time that il did in
thlrty-hve. If it had we would all have
seen something worth looking at and
we would not have had to get a tele-
scope TO find it or climb on a roof gar
den and catch cold 70 see it. All we
had TO do in thirty-five was TO walk out
ON the front porch or out in the ward
and look up at the sky and there il was
right before US, grand, sublime and
awe inspiring sight TO look upon. IL
reached out from the west and pointed
its tail towards the north and when il
got TO It's length the end of its tail
rested near the north star. and il
remained in the sky for some time but
reeeded and grew shorter and shorter
each night until it went down behind
the western horizon and passed out of
sight. That is the last | have seen of
HALEY comet | think the next time
1t comes in 1885; if ! am here | will
petition Congress TO have it travel the
same course that il did in 1875. so that
we can all see it without taking such
awful bad colds. | know il Uncle Joe
cannon gives the order the comet will
be sure to obey.

A GOOD WAY TO USE HYoMEI

Besides breathing through the inhaler
a few times a day, many catarrh suffer-
ers write that they find inhalin9 Hyo-
mel from bowl of streaming water
each night before retiring a great aid
in curing stubborn cases.
Try it, it's very simple; gives quick
relief and makes you breathe easier.
Fill bowl half full of boiling water:
pour into the water half teaspoonfui
of Hyomei, cover head and bowl with a
towel and breathe through nose and
mouth the medicated antiseptic and
healing vapor that arises.
This method relieves that stiffness at
once and makes your head feel clear.
You can get a bottle of Hyomei at
druggists everywhere or at X. N. Cool
rick's for only 80 cents. Ask for extra
bottle Hyomei Inhalent.
But bear in mind if you want a Hy-
omei inhaler you must buy a complete
outfit which only costs 81. 90
But as stated before; if you already
own an inhaler bottle of Hyomei costs
but so cents.
Hyomei is guaranteed by druggists
everywhere and by X. N. Goolrick 10
cure catarrh, sore throat, coughs, colds,
rose fever, asthma and Group, or money
back. Try it on that generous basis.
