The Times-Herald begins its
twenty-fourth year with this is
sue. The present manager en-
tered his apprentiship in this
Office twenty-one years ago next
month and has been identified
with the paper continuously ever
since, being away from the Office
only a short interval during the
entire time. He might have fol
lowed some more remunerative
line of business, but is satisfied
with his lot and expects to con-
tinue at the helm for an indefinite
time. The Times-Herald has just
closed its most successful year in
a financial way and hopes to merit
the confidence and business Of
the people of Harvey county in
the future as in the past. Its
religion will continue the same
that of boosting for Harney
county.

Of the jury in civil cases and in

lures Of the present laws appar-
emily seeks to eliminate technical

The new amendment continues
the existing courts, jurisdiction
and judicial system, except so
far as expressly changed by the
amendment, until otherwise pro-
vided by law. It is the apparent
intent that the county court,
clerk, sheriff and prosecuting
attorney shall exist until a change
is made by law. The amend
ment, in this respect, probably
paves the way for submission Of
commission form Of county
government to the voters by in
itiative or to the Legislative

Uncle Sam Wants Irrigation Facts

The thirteenth decinnial cen
sus of the United States will in
clude a complete resume of irri-
cation progress in every state.
Special Agent H. W. Grunsky
has been in Burns the past week
gathering data pertaining to the
larger projects affecting Harney
Valley.
Mr. Grunsky urges upon every
man in Harney County who has
a ditch or a levee or floods any
portion of his land to fill the
blanks sent to him for the pur-
pose and forward as promptly as
possible.
1t should be a matter of
county pride" says Mr.. Grun-
sky, that each one should do
his part to make the proper
showing in the census returns.
The fact is, up to the present
time, only twenty-five per cent.

PORTLAND CLUB TO FEAST.

Local nimrods have been out
and secured a fine lot of game
which will be shipped at once to
the Portland Commercial Club
for banquet at Thanksgiving
time. The suggestion was made
by w. G. Howell, the well known
capitalist who has large land in
terests here and is a Harney
county booster worth while. Mr..
Howell will look after the affair
at that end of the line and will
see that the banquet is a success
and that Harney county game
will be given due credit.
The hunting parties ars secur-
ing some fine ducks, geese and
swan for the purpose and the
game goes as a present from the
Burns Commercial club to the
Portland Commercial club. The
Kellogg Stage Co. has very gen.
erously granted free transporta-
ton for the game as far as
Prairie City and it will be ex-
pressed from there to Portland.
If the old adage is true that a
mans heart is reached through
his stomach" Harvey county and
the Burns Commercial club will
make a hit.

ONE MEASURE PAR REACHING.

Among the initiative meas

reaching in its scope and more
than likely would have been
turned down had all the voters
understood it. The proposed
change is the judiciary amend

Oregonian has the following as
TO the effect of the passage Of
the measure:

places an entire article OF the

article permits the abolishment

The Times-Herald hopes the
business men of Burns will all
attend the get together meeting
of the commercial club scheduled
for next Saturday evening. 1t
is a mistake to neglect such
gatherings and depend upon a
few public spirits to do the boost
ing for Burns and Harney..county.
With the right spirit shown, the
personal and active participation
of actual business men and heavy
taxpayers this organization will
accomplish results that we are
seeking. Otherwise it will not
be of as much force and influence
in a general way. We should
have our home meetings at short
intervals and not wait until we
have prominent guests to bring
us together.

Peter Clemens, p. G, Smith,
James Pirie and J. c. Creasman,
Harney County ranchmen, were
made defendants yesterday in
the United States Court in q con-
troversy over the diversion Of
the waters Of Silvies River for
irrigation purposes. The Pacific
Livestock Company has asked for
a permanent injunction, assert
ing that 80 much Of the flow of
the stream is diverted by the
crop raisers that the cattlemen
are unable TO secure n sufficient
supply of water for the use of
their stock and for domestic pur-
poses.
The Pacific Livestock Com
pany asserts o riparian right on
account Of being the owner Of q
large acreage through which Sill
vies River flows and because the
cattle have had the use OF the
water for many years prior to
the date when the farmers began
irrigating their quarter sections
| for the raising Of crops.
The present suit represents the
second controversy which has
been litigated between the par
ties. The first suit was filed II
1901 and was settled out of courf
| through an agreement which
gave the farmers the right to re
pair one bank of the stream, pu
in headgates and build bitches
they having the privilege of us
ing all water not required by thu
animals belonging to the live
stock company.
Il is asserted that the embank
ment has gone to ruin, that tn
headgate is in bad repair an'
that a large portion Of the floy
Of the Silvies escapes into tn
bitches at all times. 1t is aske,
that the right of the liyestoc
company to all the water Of tn
stream be approved by the court
