APPRECIATE CLUBS SUPPORT
Active Interest Of the Citizens Of Burns
Toward Agricultural Development.

Judge Vim. Miller, president of
the Burns Commercial Club, has
| Just received a letter from Prof.
II. d. Scudder OF the Oregon
Agricultural College in which he
says:
IL am back to the Office again
very much overcroV led with
many delayed business matters
but not too busy TO recall with
great pleasure our recent trip
through Harncy county. | am
taking this occasion to express
on behalf of the institution | re-
present and of myself the hear
test thanks for the splendid
support given by your CONNER
cial Club and the citizens of
Burns to our efforts to promote
the agricultural development of
your section of the country. The
representatives of the CONNER
cial Club of Burns who accompa-
MED me on the recent trips
through our county We're of the
greatest service in giving an adj
vantageous backing to our work
and in encouraging the new as
we'll as the old settlers to join in
the movement with n feeling of
assurance that they would obtain
practical results of great value.
| do not hesitate to say that the
interest aroused this year in Har-
ney County in the practice Of
better farming methods will do
more towards bringing the lands
of the great Harvey region into
production than all the develop
ment work previously done put
together. While it is true that
such development would mean
everything to Burns yet it is
equally true that the rapid de-
yelopment of the Harney country
cannot take place without the
earnest and united encourage
ment of the Burns people. On
this account | believe that the
Burns Commercial Club should
be congratulated on the foresight
and acumen as well as good feel
ing displayed in their attitude
toward the settlers in the far val
leys and centers of the county.
Il might add that 1t was not
only the presence at our various
meetings in the different parts
of the county of such of your
citizens as Mr.. Byrd, Mr.. Leo
nard, MIR. Donegan, Mr.. Dalton,
and others, but it was also the
active assistance given by Mr..
Hanley and Mr.. Mckinney in
furnishing their cars and SER
vices that enabled us To reach so
many places and to do such effec-
tive work.
Again, let me express to the
Club and the citizens of Burns
my heartiest thanks for the in
terest, encouragement and active
assistance given us, which means
so much In making our work
successful.
"Harney County now has with
out exception the finest equipped
model demonstration farm in the
United States. This together
with the spirit of appreciation
and interest you have shown in
the work, cannot fail to bring
you the best Of results" ="

MAN ACCIDENTALLY KILLED
Leo May Has Skull Crushed by Falling
Timber at New School Building.

A sad accident occurred at the
new school building about 4:30
o'clock yesterday afternoon in
which Leo May, a young home.
steador, lost his life. They were
raising a big truss timber TO the
second story when the gin gave
way and in falling the timber
struck the staging knocking off n
plank which struck the young
on the head, fracturing his skull.
He never regained consciousness
and breathed his last a short
time after.
A similar truss had been raised
Just before with the same block
and tackle without mishap. The
rigging seemed sufficiently strong
and 1t was not from carelessness
the accident occurred. One end
of the timber had been put in
place but the other caught under
a projection. In attempting TO
swing IL free IL seems q brace on
the gin was pulled Off causing il
to collapse with such suddenness
that Mr.. May did not have time
to get out of the way.
Contractor Mcdonald deeply
regrets the accident. Mr., May
had worked for him before at
Brogan and was a careful, trust
worthy young man.
Deceased was about rs years
old and had q homestead near
Princeton where had made his
home for four years. He had no
relatives in this section but had
said something about n brother
in Wisconsin. Nothing has been
found among his effects to give
the address of any relative, how !
ever. and parties have gone to
his homestead cabin 10 search.
Mr.. Mcdonald will make every
effort TO communicate with rela-
tives before any arrangements
will be made for burial.

Plans are underway to observe
in as appropriate manner as pos
sible Decoration Day. This is as
it should be, and everyone should
join in a concentrated effort to
show honor and do homage to
the heros who survive, as well as
those who fell, defending the
flag that floats over this land of
freedom, whereby we might live
and dwell in the country that
seeks and gives, peace and pros
perity to all.

We are pleased to note that
there are some business men who
readily realize the importance OF
carrying an ad in The Times
Herlad and are profiting thereby.
There are on the other hand some
who seem Indifferent to the ad-
vantage of so doing. and we would
suggest they get busy, as this is
the accepted time to tell the peo-
pie what you have-and how to
get the most for their money.
