Drewsey To Hold
Fair And Race Meet

The Times-Herald was called
by phone from Drewsey this week
and informed that the people Of
Drewsey were going to hold a
race meet, political rally and ag-
ricultural fair at that place the
week proceeding the county fair
at Burns. G. w. Drinkwater
asked for information respecting
the dates here, outlined what his
little city wanted to do. II is
the purpose to hold this fair just
ahead of the county fair in order
that the products gathered may
be kept in tact and moved over.
About 5000 will be given in
purses for races and $50 in
premiums for agricultural exhib-
its, the latter to be brought here
and entered under the usual rules
and taken out with other Harney
county products to the land shows
and for the exhibition cars of
the railroad. A big political rally
is also scheduled for Drewsey
during this week.
The Times-Herald hopes that
all will take an interest in the
coming fairs as we are going to
have competition when our pro-
ducts are sent out. Both Crook
and Malheur counties are gath
ering exhibits for this purpose
and we should not be outclassed
when we have the products to
show. The fair Association will
assist in gathering these exhibits
as will also the Commercial Club
and the Colonization Co. All
that the farmer is asked to do is
to save his best products for this
purpose and let those who are in
the field know of them and as
sist in getting them TO the fair
grounds in proper shape. The
expense Of getting these exhib-
its to the railroad and transported
to the land shows has been ar
ranged for and we should do our
part in order to show Harney
county as one of the best agri-
cultural sections of the vast in
terror.

Small Blaze Wednesday

A fire alarm was turned In
Wednesday morning about 10:30
and the fire boys responded
promptly but when 1t was dis
covered where it was they found
their equipment of no avail. A
small woodshed at the McGee re-
sidence in Morrison's addition
where Mr.. Che2em lives caught
fire and burned down. II caught
from a fire in some trash that
Mr.. Chezem was burning. This
is a reminder that we need better
fire protection. The apparatus
is of little avail at any distance
from the cisterns on main street
and should some Of the hand
some and expensive residences
catch on fire out any distance II
is almost sure they would be de-
stroyed under present conditions.
This is another evidence Of the
need of provision being made for
US to install water system that
is adequate. Water works would
not be a burden to any property
owner, but rather enhance the
value of his property. This
should be remembered at the
coming election when II Is pro-

Fish Eggs Received.

The several thousand fish eggs
promised by State Game Warden
Finley were received yesterday
and today were taken up near
the R. J. McKinnon place where
they will be placed for Matching.
Allen Forward, an experienced
man, accompanied the shipment
of eggs and will remain here in
charge Of the hatchery until such
time as they are ready to turn
out or local people interested
have been shown how to care for
the young fish.
Mr.. Finley will a little later
send in several dozen pair of
China pheasants to the Rod and
Gun Club which will be cared for
and liberated at an opportune
time. Some of these birds will
be liberated at once but about
half will be kept in captivity by
members of the Club until a
more favorable time, perhaps un-
til next spring. Several have
stated they would care for a few
pair at their home until it was
thought best to liberate them.
There will also be shipment
of Bass to the Club which will
be turned into the streams of this
county. 1t is stated these fish
are not hard to ship and as they
are particularly adapted to the
streams of this section it will
take but a short time to stock
them well.

Choice Farm Lands
Are Restored To Entry

The local land Office has re-
ceived notice that large body Of
good agricultural land formerly
withdrawn under the second form
of entry under the act of June
18th. 1906, to settlement. The
land is situated on Silver Creek
and will be subject to entry after
October 4th, 1912. The descnp-
ton of the lands affected follow:
TIP. % S., Range 25, E., all
sections 2 to SO. inclusive.
Tp. % S., Range 25, E., all
township.
TIP. 22 S., Range 26 E., sec
tons l to 3 and z to 36 inclusive.
Tp. % S., Range rs E., all
township.
TIP. % S., Range q E., all Of
township.
This land is under the Silver
Creek irrigation project and will
be a part of the system when in
stalled, therefore very desirable.

posed to amend the charter to
make such provision should the
voters decide to later.
Every other town Of any size
has water works and we should
not only have a good system for
city water but also sewerage.
These hre necessary to the health
and growth Of the city and we
must prepare for growth. From
present reports the entire lower
part Of this valley is one vast oil
field where 1t will be impossible
to establish a town that white
men inhabit for they can have
no water At for domestic pur-
poses and since oil will be so
cheap every bond holder in the
oil fields will have an auto and
that means Burns will be their
place of residence, therefore il is
up to Burns to take advantage
Of the opportunity presented.

fine FRUIT PROSPECTS
Some Of the Finest Fruit Ever Seen In
Harvey County al The Grow Camp
Farm Of W. n. Robins Trees Loaded
And Fruit Going To Wssie.

Frank M. Johnson, local repre-
sentative of the Oregon & West
ern Colonization Co., has just re-
turned from a trip to the eastern
part of the Valley and says he
saw the greatest fruit prospects
at the home Of w. II. Robbins at
Grow Camp he has ever Witness
ed in that section. Mr.. johnson
states that the trees are simply
loaded with fruit and are taking
all the time of one man proping
them up and thinning the fruit.
Mr.. Robins also has a big crop Of
hay and grain which is demand
ing his attention and as a conse-
quence his fruit crop is suffering.
His cherries are going to waste
for lack Of time to take care of
them, even tho as many as six
or more families have been COM
ing each day to pick them and
take them away.
This is one of the oldest or
chards in the Valley and there Is
a great variety of fruit. Apples,
pears, peaches, cherries, plums,
prunes, apricots, mulberries, etc.
All the trees are loaded with
fruit and Mr.. Johnson considers
it the greatest prospect he has
seen. He is very anxious fol
the committee to get together foi
the purpose Of securing exhibits
for the fair as now is the time
to begin such work. He say,
the fellows who stay in towr
don't know what they have right
at their very door and advise,
them to get out in the country
and see what their neighbors arr
doing.

The next event on the program
for Importance will be the county
fair. No pains or efforts should
be spared to make this the big
gest and best fair ever pulled off
in Harney county, and if all pull
together there is no reason why
this connot be accomplished. We
should also try to make it espe-
cially attractive to every rancher
and stockman in the country,
and for this reason we suggest
that special programs Of a varie-
ty to suit all be prepared that
will interest the old time ranch
er, cow boy. new farmer and the
school children. Such are under
consideration by the board. 1t
is intended to have wild west

may take part, a special school
day and Supt. Breithaupt's COM
munity farm leagues will also
have a special program arranged
that will prove beneficial to the
farmers. Suggestions are in or

given proper encouragement,
and these are given a chance.
Governor West says also there
are men in prison who should
never be allowed out as they are
degenerates and confirmed crimi-
nails. There should be a law. he
thinks, to keep such men locked
up.
They have started many ways
Of employing convict labor since
he has been in the executive
chair that are proving great
saving to the state besides giving
the men employment where they
share to a certain extent IN the
profits, and this is not placed on
the market in competition with
free labor. but confined entirely
to furnishing state institutions.
They now have tin shops, black
smith shops, a furniture factory,
make mattresses, etc. which are
used in the state institutions thus
saving a large amount of money.
In concluding his talk Cover
nor West insisted that there was
no politics In the matter; he is
sincere in doing the very best he
can for the people of this state
and is not a candidate for re-
election. therefore is not playing
politics. He wants to see the
vast territory in the interior de-
velop and will do all in his power
toward it. He left Thursday
morning on his horse to resume
his journey, which he is making
at easy stages, and expects to
reach Boise about next Monday.
He will not return on horseback
but as he puts it both he and
his little mare will ride back home
on cushions.
Governor West was the same
fellow among his friends in
Burns as before he was elected
and he mingled freely with the
boys" on the street and at his
hotel while in Burns, showing
his strong hold on their friend
ship and respect by his manner
Of greeting and conduct. He is
tremendously popular with the
people who admire his straight
forwardness and sincere purpose
of doing right regardless of cri-
ticism or what the people think.
The Times-Herald had some
pictures of the Governor taken
out on the road before he reach
ed Burns and after his arrival.
When he called at this Office and
saw the pictures that Mr.. Heck
had taken and was told they
were not just what we wan ted
he had his saddle animal brought
out and posed again at the curb
by The Times Herald building
and we have fine picture that
will later appear in the papers.
Jim Mahon was also photograph
ed with the Governor on the
mule which he rode out to meet
him. The Governor also had a
picture of himself and saddle an
NAL taken in front of the French
MOTEL with a thick bank of hop
vines as background.
