Angeles and San Francisco. His
principal purpose was to get in
touch with Eastern tourists to
learn from them the reasons for
their recent pilgrimages to Cali
fornia and to study a method by
which the same class of people
that visits the southern states in
the winter months can be induced
to come to Portland IN the sum-
mer time.
Good roads," Mr.. Scott be-
lieves, is the key to the situation.
He found that people on pleasure
trips like to keep moving and
they like to see new sights.
Travel over country roads affords
them these opportunities. The
automobile has grown to be the
chief means of transporting peo-
pie on such trips. To make
autobobile travel attractive good
roads are necessary. California
has them. -Oregonian.

TO ORGANIZE SCHOOL FAIRS.

The organization Of school in
dustrial fairs and the promotion
of agricultural education in the
schools throughout the state will
be the principal work of Calvin
C.. Thomason, who was made a
member of the staff of the Ore
gon Agricultural College Exten-
sion Division under Prof. r. d.
Hetzel at the last meeting of the
college regents.
Under the immediate direction
of State Superintendent of
Schools, l.. r. Alderman, Mr.,
Thomason will visit the various
counties, aiding the school au-
thorities in organizing the in
dustrial work and promoting the
school fairs and school gardens.
The work is part of that plan
ned by the State Bankers Assc-
citation and promoted by the Ore
gon Development League, the
State Fair Association, the State
Superintendent of Schools and
the agricultural college.
Since his graduation in 1907 al
Whitman College, Mr.. Thomason
has been in journalistic work in
various parts of the state, nota-
bly, at LaGrande, Pendleton,
Salem, and Portland, and has
done much toward better farm
methods and the improvement
of rural conditions generally.

WISH IT WERE so.

The auto trucks showed that
they are year round freighters
by the run through the snow last
week to Burns. The snow at
Burns was nearly four feet deep
but did not affect the trucks
more than to delay them for a
few hours. Bend Bulletin.
Too bad this isn't a fact, but
we have lacked a little over three
fourths of having that much
snow in Burns this winter.
The truck boys evidently didn't
tell the Bulletin that they simply
found the snow drifted on Sage
Hen hill to a depth of about four
feet, the average depth has never
exceeded some ten inches. We
wouldn't object to more snow,
however, and hope to get more
yet even if it should stop the auto
trucks.

The business men of Burns
should take up the matter of
transportation from railroad
points before the colonist rates
begin which will be March l
this year.
The Times-Herald has been in
formed by those in a position to
know that many people are dis
couraged upon arriving at the
end of the rail lines by the eX-
cessive prices asked to bring
them into this section. Our in
formant states that he knows
positively of many turning back
without seeing the Central Ore
gon country for this one reason.
Auto people should be made to
see that this is a drawback, not
only to the settlement and de-
velopment OF the country, but
also to their own business. When
people have been paying three
cents a mile to ride to the end of
the railroad and then find it costs
them nearly fifteen cents a mile,
exclusive of baggage, to come on
in, they don't take kindly to it
and consider they are held up.
The Times-Herald believes
automobile owners should have a
good legitimate profit and this
can be had at a less rate than is
usually charged.
If Burns business men will
take this matter up with the rail-
road people who are anxious to
get people into this territory they
can regulate these prices and
thereby induce all the people
headed for Central Oregon to
come on in.

AT T0NAWAMA.

The Tonawama Stock Company
gave another performance last
night to a good house. Just as
the bell was tapped for the OPEN
ing overture the electric lights
went off which put the entire
company in a bad humor and con-
sequently had its effect upon the
players. The gas lights were
turned on but they are not sat
isfactory for stage productions,
not being arranged for best scenic
effects. The electric lights came
on and off twice during the even
ing but could not be depended
upon, making it bad for the play
ers.
The crowd seemed we'll pleas
ed with the production of "A
Soldiers Sweetheart" which is
a very pleasing comedy drama in
four acts. Mr.. Harlan, who was
cast as the Irish cousin from
America, was a decided favorite
with the house. Mr.. Salisbury
had a very difficult part to play
as heavy, a new role for him,
and he played it well. The others
of the cast carried their parts
very we'll and aside from one or
two embarrassing situations
caused by the confusion the
lights made on the players to be-
gin with the bill went very sat
isfactorily.
1t seems the public is partial to
comedy and the Tonawama Stock
Co. will produce a nose laugh
able comedy as its next bill. "A
Cheerful Liar" or the Indiana
Justice" will be put on Friday
February9. No doubt some have
seen this comedy, but it has new
er been played in Burns. Every
character in the bill is good and
they're all comedy.
Ora Hill was greeted with the
usual enthusiastic cheering last
night when he came before the
footlights to sing and had to re-
spond to an encore.
More specialties will be added
in future and from this time on
attendants at TonaWama will be
greeted with the latest popular
lar songs as well as character
features.
The management is going to
take up the matter Of lights at
once and try to see that the en-
barrassing situation of last night
is not repeated.

An inspection of the tax roll
shows that the men who pay 80
per cent of Harvey county's taxes
are not objecting to the new
court house. They realize the
necessity of a safe place for all
their important records, besides
they approve of Harvey county
keeping up with the procession
in the way of public improve
ment and appearance. They also
take into consideration the lower
tax levy in this county than any
of the adjoining counties who
already have fine court houses.
Personal selfshness does not en-
ter into their consideration of
the question.

Senator Chamberlain and Homesteaders

Senator Chamberlain is pre-
pairing and will introduce a bill
for the relief of homesteaders,
differing from all measures now
pending in that it will provide
that any homesteader, after six
months continuous residence on
his land, may be entitled to a
leave of absence for six months
of each year; that is to say, home
steadears will be required to re-
sided upon their land only half
of each year until final proof is
made.
By this means he believes, set
tlement will be greatly encour-
aged and homesteading made
easier. Senator Chamberlain
thinks some relief must be
granted to attract settlers to
those lands now open to home
stead entry. -Oregonian.

do Resolve, that,
Whereas, it has pleased the
Almighty God in his wisdom to
remove from our midst Brother
Arthur Horton and whereas, we
acknowledge in this as in all
things His Holy will yet we mourn
the loss sustained by our Lodge,
and feel the sorrow brought into
his home by the loss of a kind
husband and father.
Therefore be it Resolved, That
we extend to Sister Horton and
family, our heartfelt sympathy
in this their hour of sorrow,
And. be it further Resolved,

departed Brother our Charter be
draped in mourning for thirty
days and that a copy of these re-
solutions be sent to the bereaYed
family, and that this be spread
on our Lodge record, and printed

Why not get right down to
brass tacks" this season in the
way of farming and show what
Harvey county can really do.
There's no danger Of over pro-
duction with the vast number of
people who are coming to settle
permanently within our borders
and besides the railroad camps
must be supplied with food stufPs
both for man and beast. The dry
farmer should give his crops par
ticular care and the fellow who
has water should use it intelli-
gently. Make this Harney coun-
tvs banner year for crops.

WANT GOVERNMENT BOUNTY.

President Gooding and Secre-
tary Mcclure, of the National
Woolgrowers' Association, now
in Washington, D. C. are prepar-
ing to urge the passage of the
National bounty law. They con-
tend that state bounty laws are
inadequate to exterminate the
predatory wild animals which
breed in National forests. Fed
eral assistance is necessary, they
assert, as these wild animals
each year kill $15, 600, 600 worth
of livestock which results in an
an increased cost of meat.
The times-herald. [volume] (Burns, Harney County, Or.) 1896-1929, 1912-01-27
Pure Breeds Pay Best.

The farm should have on it all
the good stock it will keep and
the help you have can give the
proper care. The well-bred, pro.
ftable kind of horses will do the
same work except more of it
that the scrubs are now doing.
1t is just as cheap and much more
profitable to have pure bred
cattle instead of common stuff.
If you are keeping a few cows
and selling the cream, you can
have, if you will, cows will pro-
duce five or six times as much
milk as scrubs. You can have
pure-bred hogs which make pork
cheaper than scrubs, and you can
sell a SOW or boar for breed pur-
poses. A few sheep will help
things along. Not one of these
improved kinds of live stock will
in any way prevent or interfere
with the growing of wheat OF
corn for market, which may just
now haye your undivided atten-
ton. Think this over. Resolve
to get a few animals of the better
than common stock next year.
The good ones increase rapidly,
and soon you'll have all you can
keep. Farm Progress.
