Wants New State officers.
In special message this morning
the governor advocated the establish
ment OF new state officer, deputy
inspector of the construction of public
buildings, who is to prevent the re-
Currence of such conditions in public
work as has been complained OF at
Norfolk by the house and senate COM
mittees on institutions and asylums.
The present law provides that the
state architect George A. Berlinghoff
shall supervise the construction OF
buildings for which he draws the
plans, but in the opinion of several
committees he has not been doing this
work, and the governors remedy is to
appoint a new officer who shall work
under the governor bearing the title
of deputy inspector and drawing a
salary of $1,000, with $4,000 for trav
cling expenses. In the senate the gov
ernor's bill was referred to a specia

A NEW BOOSTER CLUB.

We have it from an authora-
tive source that the Silver creek
bunch are live ones and are using
their best efforts and talents to-
ward the boosting Of Harvey
county in general. So imbued
with this spirit have they become
that booster club has been for
med but The Times-Herald has
not been appraised of the full
membership or the entire set of
officers other than that Ike Foster
is secretary and treasurer. There
has been very little in the ex-
chequer 50 far as only Foster has
contributed twice and Bob Will
liams once by mistake.
The method Of raising funds
for this booster work is original
but the writer fears will not be
successful in that community.
The bylaws do not provide for
monthly dues or regular assess
ments but when a member tells
the truth he is fined $5. Foster
has paid two fines and Bob
Williams made a mistake and
told the truth once. 1t being APP
parent it was unintentional he
was let off with only half fine.
Wood Best and Carol Cecil have
neither contributed a cent so far
which is a reflection on their
public spirit, so their fellow
members think.

~ hoy AhNbtN "FfH 80
Edward Abner Thompson, the
distinguished reader and drama
list Of Boston, a brother Of Mrs.

ing TO Burns on a visit to the

upon TO appear at the Photo-Play

Mr.. Thompson comes direct
from an engagement in the Salt

the privileges of Lyceum and
Chautaugua audiences, covering
such range as may suit the taste
Of all. He has unusual recon-
mendations from people of high
character which appeal to all
who read them. Mr.. Fellows is
particularly anxious that the
people of Burns realize the high
class work of Mr.. Thompson.
While his repertoire covers a wide
range he will confined the even
ling to q lighter vein Of song and
story Mr.. Thompson being an
Exceptional bass soloist and per-
haps the melodrama of Hiawatha.
The latter with a musical back
ground Of ancient Indian melodies
with Mr.. Fellows at the piano.
The Portland Oregonian says
of Mr.. Thompson: "A man who,
robbed of his sight, yet lives in
a world he seems actually to see,
else how could he so vividly por'
tray natures rights and colors
in his rendering"
Prof. Fred Westly Orr of the
Pacific University of this state
says: Mr.. Thompson's ricf
voice and magnetic presence
never fails to hold attention
There is dignity and Truth in al
his work. "
The seating capacity of the
Photo-Play house is limited ant
it is important that reservations
be made early by all who appre'
ciate this high class entertain
ment. Mr.. Fellows will be at the
ticket office each afternoon from
/ until 3 o'clock beginning Mon
day TO accommodate those desir'
ing reservations. This should
have immediate attention by
those who would enjoy this reaI
treat. Tickets are also on sale
at Reeds Drug Store.

SCHOOL BOND ELECTION.

The local public school board
is having the proper petitions and
other necessary preliminaries to
the calling of a special election
to vote bonds for the proposed
new school building. The matter
will have particular attention in
order that the election may be
legal and no further delay from
technicalities.
There has been much comment
upon the matter Of new location
of the school building. 1t is
pointed out by some that the pre-
sent location is most central.
This is a matter that will likely
be given attention at the annual
election in June and probably be
left to the voters TO settle.

John F. Stevens has resigned
as president of the Hill railroad
lines in the northwest to take
effect May /. Portland papers
seem to infer this move means
secession of active construction
work by the Hill lines in Oregon
for time, but since Mr.. Stevens
has opened the way and the con-
struction work from the Des-
chutes section being comparative
ly easy, it does not necessarily
follow that Mr.. Hill will cease
just became Mr.. Stevens resigns.
Hill people may not do any more
extending this year but that line
will cover the interior in short
time.

Cordley Of the college of agricul-
ture, Prof. G. |. Lewis Of the
horticulture department, and
Prof. H. s. Jackson Of the en-
tomology department, the college
will establish division headquart-
ers in the principal fruit centers
of the state Portland, Salem,
Eugene, Roseburg and perhaps
Milton and from there the in
vestigations will extend over the
entire state.
This is not the first work Of
the sort done by the college,
though IL is the first state wide
compaign against all kinds Of
pests. Many thousands of dol
lars have been saved the orchard
men Of Oregon by the timely ad-
vice Of the professors. The 35.
acre apple orchard Of Eisman
Brothers near Grants Pass was
80 badly diseased with anthrack-
nose in 1910 that they were about
to dig II up. Every tree was dis
eased with the fungus, and near
| ly half of the tops were dead or
dying. The vitality of the or
chard was so low that 1t did not
produce enough apples to pay ex-
penses. Though the owners
worked hard cutting dead wood
and dead spots, the fungus con-
tinued to gain on them They
tried a bordeaux mixture spray
suggested by Dean Cordley in
the fall before the leavas were
off, with immediate and pro-
nounced benefit. Continued fall
sprayings resulted in a produc-
ton of 10, 600 boxes Of as fine,
clean. healthy, four-tier apples,
four years after, as could be pro-
duced anywhere in the United
States. They sold 1000 boxes of
four-tier yellow Newtons and
SpitzenburRs at $1.50 a box, and
3, 900 boxes of Ben Davis and
Winesaps, giving a gross receipt
of SIS. $50 from the orchard he
had been ready to dig out.
William Hellwell of Yoncalla,
Douglas county, had a similar ex-
perience with fall spraying for
anthracknose, commonly known
as "canker." dead spot" or
black spots"
The protection Of the rapidly
increasing fruit districts of the
state from such pests as are al
ready attacking trees here, and
from the introduction Of new
ones through imported stock is
the problem with which the col
lege experts will wrestle. The
details of the campaign have not
all been completed, but will be
ready for announcement shortly.
