Excellent Fruit Crops.

7 w. II. Robins was in from his
Grow Camp farm during the
week with full load Of plums
which he disposed of successfully
in n very short time to the peo-
pie of this city who are showing
a decided preference for home
grown fruit, tits right that they
should, as it is sold at q reasona-
BILE price and is superior in many
respects to that brought in from
outside points. 1t has the ad-
vantage of ripening on the trees
and with shorter haul reaches
the consumer in much better
condition. Besides, Harney
County fruit has an advantage
in flavor and keeping qualities
that makes it desirable.
AS the young orchards develop
it will only be a matter of a short
time when we will raise all the
fruit needed for home consump-
ton and the peddler from other
localities will be n thing of the
past. Then q vast amount of
money that has heretofore gone
out for such products will be
kept at home. This will be the
means of keeping even greater
amount at home rs it has been
the custom of many in the past
to. go out for their own fruit and
in so doing they also load up with
other supplies which the local
merchant is in a position to hand
le and which he can sell reasona-
BILE. thus keeping all the trade at
home.

neer people of this county who

ces. The young people start

BILE circumstances with the best
wishes Of a wide circle of friends

Suggestion In Road Building

Judge Ellis of Crook county
made a good practical talk at the
recent velopmen t League
meeting at Lakeview on perma-
nent road building that should be
given attention. He explained
what a change was made in his
county with the coming of the
railroads and that much work of
recent years had been wasted
from not observing the practical
side of tn e situation. Crook
county spent many thousands Of
dollars on reads that are not
used to any extent today since
the railroads have come.
He suggested that all perma-
nent roads should be built lead
ing toward the new railroad
lines now being constructed into
Central Oregon. IL doesn ~ ne
cessarily follow that main high
ways be neglected, but kept in
repair, as they will always be
used more or less, especially thru
out the settled and farming see
tions, but the main avenues lead
ing to established places on the
line of railroad should be given
consideration, as those are the
roads that are going to be used
most in the near future and will
be permanent highways.
This suggestion is one that
should be followed in this county.
We are going to change the or
der of things next year when
the railroads reach US and we
should prepare for this change
and place the road funds to the
best advantage.

county fair and has promised
personal friends he would come
and see them during fair week,

that a progressive spirited man
of his makeup should not be in
closer touch with this section
and be on more neighborly terms.

new TELEPHONE CON-
NECTIONS To SOUTH
will Give This Town Better And More
Direct Communication Than h Has
Had-Means Much To Burns

d. d. Defenbaugh, the mer-
chant prince of DEMO, was here
for a few days this week renew
ing acquaintances and greeting
old time friends. Mr.. Defen-
baugh is a pioneer of this county,
having come from Missouri in
company with the Byrd family
in 1888 and has resided in the
southern part of the county ever
since. He is one of the progress
sive men of this section and has
a fine business.
Mr.. Defenbaugh was the NOV
ing spirit in getting a telephone
line to his town from Winnie
mucca, which has just been com
pleted by the Nevada Telephone
Co. and Mr.. Hugh Thomas Of
that company accompanied Mr..
Defenbaugh up here to see if the
local telephone people would not
come to meet his line and place a
through mode Of communication
through from this city to the
south. Mr.. Thomas met with
encouragement from Mr.. Fry,
manager of this line and he re-
turns to DEMO to put his crew at
work Immediately to extend his
line as far north as Wild Horse
where it will he connected with
the local line in the immediate
future.
Mr.. Fry did not state his COM
pany would at once build from
Alberson, the present end Of the
local line, to join the Nevada
Company, but assured Mr.. Thom-
as of the cooperation of local
people in the project which he
will investigate personally as
soon as he has the time to make
the trip to that territory. How
ever, Mr.. Thomas will not wait
for this as he has his crew at
DEMO and while in the territory
will build that portion from DEMO
up to Wild Horse, the place where
it was tentatively agreed the two
systems should meet and connect.
This connection has long been
desired by the citizens of that
portion of the county as well as
the business men of this city. 1t
is a convenience needed in the
transaction of business with the
county seat and land Office and
will be found a factor in bringing
that portion of the county in
closer touch with the business
Of this city.
The local company should take
up this matter as soon as it is
practicable, as it will be of mutu-
al benefit to all and no doubt a
investment to the stock
holders of the company.

TRANSCONTINENTAL
AUTO TOUR BEGUN


w. G. Bristol. the well known
Portland attorney, and Il. J.
Jorgensen, proprietor of the
Lenox hotel Of that city, we're
here for n short time Sunday,
having come in the evening be-
fore in Mr.. Bristol's Pierce-Ar-
row auto. These gentlemen are
on a transcontinental tour from
Portland, Oregon, to Portland,
Maine. II is not the intention to
try for n record as they are mere
ly out for good outing and to
see the country. They are max
ing it by easy stages, spending
as much time as suits their in
clination at every place of in
terest.
Mr.. Bristol has many acquaint-
ances in this place and visited
for a time here. His friend, Mr..
Jorgensen. has been on many
auto trips with him, alto these
have not been extended before.
The machine is a 1910 model and
50-horse power. 1t is equipped
with every accessory that will be
necessary for an emergency, in
cluding an additional tank for
gasoline supply, a tank for wa
ter to be carried over desert
places where water is scarce, ex-
ira batteries. a ships compass.
thermometer, gradeometer. in
fact everything possible that
would assist in the trip.
The gentlemen explained to
the Times-Herald man that they
were out for q vacation trip and
expected to be gone at least two
months. They left Burns about
10 O'Clock Sunday morning going
out by way of Vale. Caldwell,
Boise, on thru Idaho the most
direct and best route. They
will tour Colorado. pass on thru
Nebraska. Iowa, Illinois. Indiana.
thence on to Pittsburg, Harris
burg, Philadelphia, Atlantic City,
New York, Providence. Boston,
Portland, Maine; they will visit
the White Mountains. Green
Mountains, Berkshires, back by
Albany, Syracuse, Rochester,
then to Buffalo. where the Pierce
Arrow is manufactured. There
they will leave the machine TO
be overhauled after making such
a long run and return home by
rail. They anticipate fine trip,
and as both are experienced mo-
torists and enjov the outdoor
life. there is no doubt they will
get all the enjoyment possible
out of the trip.

Another shipment Of hogs was
received the first of the week by

demand for the hogs and they

get them in good shape before
turning them over to the farm

they will be fed and cared for

Race Horses Arrive Here
For The Fair

Things have begun to liyen up
around the fair grounds now
that the fair is not far distant
and the horses are beginning to
arrive for the race meet. Jack
Parker and Mr.. Howard are late
arrivals with good runners, be-
sides several horses are in tram
ing together with some harness
horses. In all, over a dozen are
now quartered at the track and
the Fair Association is getting
the water wagon ready to begin
sprinkling the track. They are
having some trouble getting a
gasoline engine to run the CEN
trifugal pump but if the present
apparatus doesn't work they will
get machinery that will.
There is some talk noW Of hay-
ing another match race about
September 9Th, and should the
match be made there will likely
be a matinee as several want to
try out their saddle horses before
fair time. The program recently
published has caused consider
able interest among horse men
and we are going to see the larg-
est string of racers here that has
ever visited the course for far
week.

police found Mrs. Carolina Cloth, an
aged woman who had lived in pow
crty for years, dead yesterday morn
ing and near her body, concealed in
a box. was found money and govern
meut bonds worth almost a million
dollars. The woman had no relatives
in Memphis. She was born in Ger

girl. and married Adam Cloth. who
ran a saloon and bakery in Memphis
many years. Since his death she had
gone into seCIusion and was seldom
seen on the streets. Her home was
wired everywhere with burglar
alarms. Neighbors reported some
thing wrong when they failed to see
her make her usual appearance in
the back yard. where she kept some
Pet chickens and ducks. Inquiry
brought out the fact that she had not
been seen for two days. The police
we're notified and forced an entrance
into the place. They found her body
in bed. She had died of heart dis
ease.

A Chicago judge has ruled that a
wife is a necessity. not a luxury. Once
upon a time wife was held to be
a necessity and a man never felt his
lie was complete until he had annexed
his other half. But the cynical atti-
tude OF the present has brought about
an impression TO the contrary.
We hear much today of the extrava-
CANT woman. The truth is That there
are no more extravagant women today
than in other days. There is more
opportunity to be eXtravagant now,
perhaps, and one can put on more of a

But the average woman now spends no
more in comparison with the average
mans income, than her greatgrand-
mother. She certainly doesn't set as
extravagant a table. We have no more
pound cakes dripping with butter, no
more angel food so. full Of eggs that it

indefinite and superficial. Such weak
nesses arise not from personal fault
or intent, but from limitations of time,
opportunity, experience and training,

THE report is superficial because
it 'omits many elements that cause cost,

eloquent in describing the beauties, the

tory of southern Illinois, which is usu-
ally designated as Egypt" Among
other things he called attention to the
various people who had ruled and lived
in that delightful portion OF Gods foot
