follow the advice of the expert.
This oily substance was first
noticed several weeks ago on the
cable attached to the drill. 1t
covered the rope and finally began
to show on the gloves of the
workmen. After making this
discovery they investigated and
found not a great quantity of
oil, but about one eighth of an
inch on the surface of the water.
After Mr.. Gilcrest had been told
of it they went down to pump
the we'll cut and arrange it as
suggested by the gentleman in
his letter from National City.
they set fire to the gas coming
form the we'll several times, but
it never caught from friction. /"
AS soon as it is opened again and
sam pies sent to real assayers and
experts there will be something
definite to tell of the prospect.

AN IMPORTANT LAND DEAL
Oregon d Western Colonization Co.
Sells Section OF Fine Land Near
Burns To Four Practical Farmers

One of the important land deals
recently is the sale of section IL,
township %, range 81, just east
of this city by the Oregon &
Western Colonization Co., to four
practical farmers who recently
arrived here with their families
from Carson Valley, Nevada.
This section of land is just
west of the Experimental Station
and is one of the best sections in
the vast holdings of the company.
A portion of it can soon be put
in fine shape for alfalfa. some
120 acres lying along q slough
and the new owners will lose no
time in getting it into cultivation.
The men who purchased the
tract are w. II. Stock, II. Worth
mann, H. Henke and II. Lude-
mann. They brought their own
teams and machinery and the
purchase was made after thoro
investigation and tour of the
country. These gentlemen will
all work together in the develop
ment Of this tract of land and in
this way the energy and capital
will be used to the best adyant-
age.
The sale was made by Frank
johnson, the local representative
of the Colonization Company who
had been with the parties for
some time showing them differ
ent sections of the country. II
is an important sale and means
considerable to this portion Of
Harney Valley and to Burns.
This section will be one Of the
first to be reached by the Silvies
irrigation project when it is in
stalled and even now is sub-irri-
gated by a slough. 1t will make q
fine farm and under the direction
of practical men will be a credit.
1t is located so near the Expert
mental Farm that every advant-
age may be secured from the
scientific demonstrations an d
there is no doubt of the success
of these gentlemen who have cast
their lot in this territory.

Big FORCE ON R. R. WORK
Work Being Pushed Along A. Fss, AZ
Possible And All Indications Point
To Early Completion Of Limo

II. A. Martin, familiary known
as TEX" Is in the city. He has
just come from the railroad along
the line Of work on the Oregon
& Eastern and says they are now
working just as many men as
they can place along the grading
between Vale and the Harper
Ranch. The grade is practically
complete to that point with the
exception Of a small stretch Of
rock work, and TEX" says he
saw Greeks on this stretch as
thick as they could work and that
no doubt even now it is com
pleted. At the rate they were
laying track when he was there
he states there are at least 10
miles now completed.
The announcement had been
made before by the railroad con-
tractors that the line would be
completed to the Harper Ranch
by Aug. 10, and this would indi-
cate they are going to make
good. II is generally thot the
line will be completed to River
side this fall and that the con-
tractors will be transferred be-
fore freezing weather to this val
ley and work on the grade thru
the swamp adjoining the lakes
begun. This work must be done
in late summer and fall to best
advantage and since Harney
County has such bountifuly crops
this season and there will be
abundance Of feed for horses at
reasonable prices there is every
reason to expect this work will
begin this season.
Should this be done it will
create a good market for the
products Of this section and make
good times for the farmers in
this valley. There is q fine crop
Of everything this year and rail-
road contractors may rest assur-
ed Of securing all necessary sup
plies at reasonable prices.

when it is necessary not toys tc
play with but real machinery
that will produce results. Dur
ing these particular five Years"
the manager of The Times-Her-
aid has met his business obliga-
tions, has been-on the job seven
days in the week and fifty-two
weeks in the year. He can al
ways be found at his post of duty
and business men have found
they can rely upon him He has
no apology to make for the policy
of The Times-Herald for past
years and will continue to run
the paper as he sees fit regardless
of the opinion of any politician
or expression of any set Of men.
If he doesn't make a success of it
he and those dependent upon him
are the only ones to suffer.
During these particular five
years" he has never been found
in the gutter or in back rooms
where no self-respecting man
even without a family would
be found. His friends have
not been compelled to apologize
for his actions, either public or
private. nor interceded for him
with higher ups, that he might
hold his job. He has not con-
tinually butted into other peo-
ple's business and caused strife
or hard feelings through inter-
ference. He has not used his
paper to malign people with
whom he was at outs" and
toadied to another faction to Sc
cure business. He has not had to
prostituted his position as a public
man or otherwise to secure finan-
cial gain for himself. He has
been charitable to those who
have not given him a square deal
and allowed things to pass that
many of his friends have urged
him to take up.
He must apologize, however,
for deyoting so much space to
the discussion of things more or
less personal. 1t is not his policy
to bring his actions or any of his
family before the public any
more than could be conveniently
avoided and this policy will con-
tinue. The Times-Herald and
not the manager or his family
is what counts. 1t is here TO ex-
plot the resources and possibili-
ties of this big country and its
manager is not seeking Office or
asking any favors from an indul-
gent public. If the efforts of the
paper are appreciated and it can
be used in legitimate way to
further the interests of Harney
county, rest assured il will be
found on the job.

FACTS ABOUT THE OIL

The real facts about the dis
covery of oil in a well being
drilled by Smith & Swain in the
Red S field of the Pacific Live
Stock Co. were told to the mana
ger of The Times-Herald several
weeks ago, but not for publica-
ton, for it was thought at that
time the well had possibly been
tampered with and the samples
secured were not genuine. At
the time of this discovery Supt.
Gilcrest was not in the country,
therefore nothing was given out
by Mr.. Swain, but J. A. McCune,
an old time friend who resides at
National City, California, was
visiting the SWANS and he was
confident there was something
good in the find and asked per-
mission to send a small sample to
a business associate in the bank
at his home. The Times-Herald
would have been pleased to give
the matter publicity but could not
without abusing the confidence
of friends, therefore has waited
until they have given sanction.
The manager had no ulterior
motive to with hold such infor-
nation; he had the opportunity
to secure three different quarter
sections Of land in that vicinity
during the interval of learning of
it and before the matter was Civ
en- any publicity. He had the
financial backing to secure this
land too if he had been so dis
posed. But no one with whom
he is associated in a business way
or by family connections took
advantage of it.
Mr.. Swain is not authority for
the statement that even one sam
pie was sent to San Francisco
assayers, let alone a second. Mr.. |
Swain is not authority for the !
statement that the cable caught |
fire several times from friction "
The letter received does not say |
one word about the oil being
worth 81 a barrel instead Of rs |
cents, nor does the writer Of the
letter pose as a chemist or assay
er. The writer does say. how
ever, that if this sample came
from the earth 1t is ''the best he
had ever seen in his limited ex-
perience. The letter is now in
the possession of The Times-Her-
aid manager and may be read by
any who are interested. The
writer further states his doubt
Of it coming from the well in 50
pure a form.
While this find is of purer
quality than any formerly found
in this territory, other prospects
are as good SO far as showing
that there is oil here. The guam
tity is not so great as has been
found at other points but the
quality is so fine that there are
still doubts in the minds Of some.
With the sanction of Supt. Gilcrest
the suggestions Of the gentleman
at National City are being carried
out. He wrote to pump the well
out and seal it up for about ten
lays SO it could not be tampered

II may seem SITdnBe W SOIile
people but the manager of The
Times-Herald has the confidence
of some in this country who are
really doing things. He has
been told of several business
ventures that are in course of
forming and which will be given
to the public at some time in the
future. For instance he has had
a smell of saltpetre" and may
give publicity to it when he can
do so without abusing the con-
fidence of friends-and when
The Times-Herald does give such
publicity it will be facts s-not
speculative imagination, but with
authority. T h e Times-Herald
has been giving its best energies
toward the upbuilding of the
Harvey country for a good many
years. 1t does not betray the
confidence of men who have faith
in its management and therefore
is in a position to get real facts.
1t doesn't confine its useful
ness to the particular past five
years" but several times that
under one management. 1t
might be said, too, that it will
likely continue under the same
management for as many more
as it's existence or that of the
manager doesn't depend upon a
federal job or any political boss
or party. 1t has grown more
during the particular five years"
than it ever has before. This

or obligation of any political par
ty. 1t receives support from the
people Of Harvey county and bus

through no pull other than what
legitimate business methods war

port The Times-Herald through
fear of its wrath, it doesn't have
TO be petted or looked upon from
a charitable standpoint. 1t has
taken a course that seems TO meet
with the approval of men of
judgment, doesn't dictate to any
but gives each the credit of hav-
ing some sense and capable of |
Judging for themselves. During

manager of this paper has shown |

PRESS OF COUNTRY PRAISED
Officers of Tuberculosis Assoeia-
ton Acknowledge Debt in Fight
Against Dread Disease.

Publicity in newspapers and maya
zines to the amount of 1900, 900 inches
a year on tuberculosis and its proven
ton is being given by the press of the
United States, according to an esti-
mate issued recently by the National
Association for the Study and Proven
ton OF tuberculosis. If all the pub
licity on tuberculosis given by the
press Of this country gathered in one
paper, the National Association esti-
mates 1t would make a paper of over
$3.50 pages. In the last four years,
during which time an active publicity
campaign has been carried on, the
National Association estimates that
over 5000, 900 inches, or over 80 miles.
of press notices on tuberculosis have
been published.
Publicity is the very heart of the
educational campaign against tuber-
culosis," says DR.. Livingston Farrand,
the executive secretary of International
association. Largely because of the
intelligent cooperation OF the press
has the anti-tuberculosis movement in
this country been able to become, as
1t is, the greatest organized movement
of its kind in the world. When tuber.
culosis shall have become a rare dis
ease the American press may justly
claim a large share in this gigantic
achievement"
