SUBSCRIPTION RATES

A farmer took two thousand
bushels of wheat to market and
there was little demand, the
dealers all being supplied so he
was compelled to sell it a bushel
at a time to the people living in
the town, and most of them not
having the change promised to
pay soon as they got the money.
The farmer considered that he
had done the best possible thing
and he knew that all the people
were good for the bushel of wheat
but DO you know when it came
to squaring up these two thou
sand accounts the farmer had an
awful time and he Immediately
went to the office of his county
paper and squared his subscrip-
ton for one year in advance,
saying he knew just how it was
when a man had a couple Of
thousand small accounts. And
it is the same in all newspaper
offices, says an exchange.
That's the situation with us at
present. The Times-Herald is
haveing a fine office building

son and he again offers a cup
and prize ribbons at the fair
this year.
According to this advice the
prize ribbons will be furnished
for all premiums Of farm prod
ucts, grains, grasses, vegetables,
fruits ect. The silver cup will
be awarded to the best indivi-
dual collection Of such products
by one individual. This will
cause considerable interest and
rivalry among exhibitors as the
magnificent cups given by Mr..
Hill last year were larger and
finer than was ever anticipated.
Many vowed at last fair that the
individual who carried away a
Great Nortern Railway silver low
ing cup this season would have to
hustle.
This generous offer of the rail
road people adds much interest
to the fair and is much appreciat-
ed by the management. These
prizes in connection with several
specials offered by the Associa-
ton makes the collection and dis
play of Harvey county products
very attractive to prospective
exhibitors.
The Times-Herald hopes local
business men will also come for
ward with special premiums.

MRS. K j. McKINN0N'

Mrs. r. J. McKinnon died at
her home up the river last Tues
day evening after an illness of
some two weeks with spotted
fever. 1t was more or less shock
to the many acquaintances of the
family as but few knew of her
illness.
Mrs. McKinnon was one of the
best known and highly esteemed
pioneer women of this country
where she has resided since 1886.
Mr.. and Mrs. McKinnon had
reared a large family and had
made on ideal home on n small
farm north of Burns where they
were spending their declining
years in comfort with several Of
their children within short dis
tances who made frequent visits
to the home. Mrs. McKlnnon
always had a cheerful welcome
for her visitors and her genuine
frontier hospitality was appreci-
ated by a wide acquaintance.
Deceased was formerly Emily
II. Long and she was married in
Iowa ON November Z, 1858 COM
ing with her husband to the.
west in 1868, settling in Califor-
MIA. They came to Harney
county in 1886 where they had
since resided. She was the
mother of twelve children, nine
of whom survive her. j. +. Nc

wagons laden with wheat that
came from the interior which
had no other outlet than the

II followed the trail of wheat
back into the interior. said Mr..
Reuter- in recalling the incident
that made him an 0regonian.

right there" "
Mr.. Reuter- maintains a very
representative exhibit at all
times and shows grains, grasses.
potatoes and even corn grown on
his land, by the application of
dry farming methods. The SAM

conditions.
The central Oregon exhibit is
expected TO attract more atten-

which Oregon will have a large
delegation of representative men
to be appointed by Governor
West in co-opeation with the
Portland Commercial club.

Oregon Dry Farm Crops TO be Exhibited

Tilman Reutar who has a farm
on the plains between Madras
and Culver Junction, central
Oregon, will take a large exhibit
of farm products to the Dry
Farming congress to be held at
Colorado Springs October 1920.
Nh. Reuter- has carried on eXper-
iments with all kinds of grains,
grasses and vegetables for sew
eral years and has demonstrated
beyond a doubt that they will
do splendidly on the sage bursh
lands even where the annual
rainfall does not exceed II inches
on the average.
Mr.. Reuter- captured the big
prizes at the Dry Farming con-
gress held last year at Spokane
in competition with many other
states and the most remarkable
feature Of it all was that he was
practically the only exhibitor
from Oregon, and there on his
own initiative at his own expen-
Sc. He also captured the Port
land Commercial club trophy at
this show, hands down.
Mr.. Rauter went into central
Oregon less than half dozen
years ago for the purpose of sat
isfying himself on the possibili-
of the soil there. He was at
tracted to Oregon by the Lewis
a. Clark fair held in Portland in
1905 and after seeing it conclud-
ed to make an extended tour
of the entire coast. Finally

In your issue of July 18th you
state petition of o. S. Preston
and others for change in road
south from Weaver springs was
denied because Of no petition
having been filed and affidavit
defective. Now this is doing the
residents of Weaver Springs and
Glenlock settlements a frank in
Justice. A copy Of the petition
was filed with the county clerk
also an affidavit stating that n
copy Of the petition was posted
at the beginning of road petition
ed for also one IN center and one
at its junction with the Narrows
and Weaver Springs road also
one posted at the Court House.
On July 9th | personally went
before the court TO urge our
claims and to give any informa-
ton they might wish in regard
to it. | was informed by the
Court that the law required that
an affidavit be filed stating where
the petitions had been posted,
and that we having failed to do
so invalidated our petition, as
sured the Honorable Court ! had
filed such a petition with the
clerk. They got the papers and
looked them over again and
found the affidavit and after ask
ing me several questions in re-
gard to the road, assured me
that they would order it viewed. !
Now Mr.. Editor II seems incre-
dible to me that the Honorable
Court would trick US in the way |
you say after having given me
the assurance that they would
order it viewed. The road asked
for is only ten miles long and
will give us an outlet to both
Burns and Narrows. On the |
Narrows and Weaver Springs |
road every homesteader but two
between Weaver Springs and the
Narrows and Iron Mountain
road have commuted and left
their claims. AT the request of
A. Mckenzie we asked for a dis
continuance of the Weaver |
Springs and Narrows road for a
short distance and connect with |
our road little farther south so
there would not be a road on
both sides Of his Weaver Springs
land and save the building of a
small bridge, now there are s or
10 persons on this short piece of
road that will put out from 80 to
200 acres Of grain this fall and
we will also build a school house.
We want to make Permanent
improvements and can't tell
where to plant trees or fix our
lawns until we have established
a road this is new settlement
only one person having been here
quite three years.
Now, | challenge the Honora-
BILE Court to show us any place
in Harney county where rs much
has been done in so short a time
on so short a piece of road.
We do not ask the county to do
any grading all we ask is to es-
tablish the road and give us the
privilege of doing what little is
necessary to put the road in shape
for travel. Within the last two
years the settlers of Weaver
Springs and Glenlock have bought
$500 worth Of plows alone from
Burns merchants, ought we not
to have an established road in
stead of having to break a new
one through the sage brush every
time a new ranch is opened. We
hope you have made a mistake,
we are lothe to think that the
Honorable County Court would
do us such rank injustice after
all we have done to help develop
the county. 0. S. PRESTON.

Err
A Citadel of independence

Abraham Lincoln never made a truer statement than
when he wrote:
Ere long the most valuable of all arts will be the art
of deriving the most comfortable subsistence from the small
est area of soil. No community whose every member pos
esses this art can never be the victim of oppression in any
of its forms, Such a community will be alike independent
of crowned kings. money kings. and land kings"
Today the call of the soil is resounding from one end
of the country to the other. Every nerve center of the
government is directed toward intoxicating the spirit and
better knowledge of farming as the one great means of re-
ducine the high cost of living.
From our more thickly settled farming districts of
Northern States and our contested cities, hundreds, aye
thousands, have answered the call and vcntured forth seek
ing new homes and conditions. but it is only recently that
the far superior advantages of the Southern soils and eli
mate have awakened interest in this direction.
