Home Ball Team
Takes First Honors

The opening game of a series
of three, between the local ball
team and Sumpter was played
yesterday afternoon and witness
ed by a large crowd Up until
the seventh inning it was a fine
exhibition but from that time on
several errors were made and
the home team rolled up a good
many scores, the final being 8 to
3 in favor Of Burns. Another
game will be played this after
noon and the final game tomor-
row afternoon. Owing to lack
Of space, The Times-Herald is
unable to give the game Of yes
terday in detail.
The Sumpter boys seem to be
a fine bunch of good natured fel-
lows and a dance was given at
Tonawama in their honor last
evening. They propose to show
the home boys a different game

high school, arrived here last
Saturday and will assume their
places in the school as soon as
the necessary equipment can be

This has caused some changes in
the former routine work and
more or less confusion which will
be adjusted the coming week.

Shooting Tournament Oct. S

The local Rod and Gun Club
has received acceptances of their
invitation to some outside clubs
to come here fair week for a
shooting tournament to be fol-
lowed by a duck hunt and game
supper. There are at least two
clubs who will send members to
to the shoot and possibly more.
The new trap recently ordered
has been received, that is por-
tions of it and the boys are an
xious to get it up and try it as it
is different from the one they
have been using.
The date for the tournament
has been set for next Saturday
at 5 o'clock in the morning. 1t
will be held just over the grade
where the old trap was situated
as it has been found impossible
to get the base ball grounds and
while the fair grounds are avail
able without charge, it is thought
the bombardment will make the
stock quartered there nervous
and interfere with the general
program and work at the grounds
Seats will be provided at the

made as comfortable as possible

or witness the contests. The

Sunday School Convention

The first Sunday school con-
vention ever held in Harvey
county came to a close last Sun
day evening at the Presbyterian
church in this city. A county
ASSOCIATION was formed and hence
forth annual conventions will be
held. 1t was a decided success
in every particular and was at
tended by several delegates from
various Sunday Schools in this
county. Rev. c. A. Phipps of
Portland was here for the pur-
pose of organizing the associa-
ton and proved a most interest
ing man. He gave some of the
best sermons ever heard from n
pulpit in this city and was a
most interesting speaker. He
certainly understood the boy
question and would be a very
valuable man in any community
in this respect as well as other
Christian work. This was his
first visit to this section and
should he come again it will be
necessary to have that new
church contemplated to accomo-
date those who want to go and
hear him preach.

Leap Year Ball BY
High School Girls.

The young ladies of the senior
class of the high school have ar
ranged to give a leap year ball at
Tonawama during court week,
October 8. This is during
the teachers institute too, and
we presume it is intended as a
compliment to the lady teachers
of the county who will be in at
tendance. 1t is very thoughtful
of the high school girls and viii
surely be appreciated by the
teachers, especially if any of
them are wanting to take advan-
tage Of leap year as it will soon
come to a close.
The girls have arranged,
through generous smiles and
other arts of persuasion, to give
supper in the hall. This has been
against the policy of the man.
agement of Tonawama as it caus-
es considerable work to get the
scenery placed out of the way of
damage on the stage to get room
for such service, but the manage
ment has a weakness for the high
school students especially the
girls - therefore acceded to their
wish but don't want it to be
a precedent. The stage mana
ger is very particular about his
housekeeping and cannot always
be in the humor to make such
concessions.
The dance will follow the pic
ture show, only one show being
given on that night, therefore
the dance may begin as early in
the evening as is usual. They
are going to have lady floor
managers and gentleman are
going to be admitted free = that's
once the boys are going to have

Prizes For Little Sewers

Mrs. Chas. Rohn, who has
charge of the needle work and
kindred department at the fair
next week, has been provided
with $50 to be distributed as she
sees fit in special prizes for the
little needle workers Of Harney
county. She has not yet com
pleted her list as it is not known
just what this will cover, but the
little girls who have been doing
needle work are requested to
bring it in and they will receive
consideration. This is in addi-
ton to the regular prizes proyid-
ed in the premium list for school
children. The printed list was
suggested by the State Superin-
tendent of schools and the County
Superintendent and does not
cover such work as completely
as was desired, therefore at the
request of Mrs. Rohn this spec
ial fund has been provided.
Other special prizes are going
to be awarded during the fair Of
such nature as the exhibits just
ify. 1t is impossible to cover
the entire field of such work
when making up a premium list
and for that reason privileges
are given to cover any emer-
gency that may arise.

Suggest Suspension OF
Threshing to Attend Fair

The Times-Herald is informed
that several farmers in the yicin-
ity Of Harvey particularly, and
no doubt in other parts Of the
county, desire to attend the fair
next week for a day or two at
least, but are handicapped by
threshing. 1t was suggested
that the threshers suspend work
for at least two days during next
week and all go to the fair. So
long as the weather is good they
could not put in two days more
profitable to themselves and all
concerned. Better do that.

Report Of The Harney
County High School

The following report Of O meet
ing at the Harvey County High
School has been handed in.
Everyone present enjoyed an
interesting time at the high school
Monday morning. The work in
Agriculture and Domestic Art
was launched. All the members
of the school board were present,
also Mr.. Hanley and a number of
citizens of Burns who are inter-
ested in the high school.
Mr.. Jokisch spoke briefly about
the new movement in education
and introduced Mr.. Hanley as
the one TO whom we are especi-
ally indebted for the new courses
in our high school.
Mr.. Hanley responded in his
usual forceful and convincing
manner, dwelling especially upon
Education for Efficiency"
Supt. Hamilton in an inspiring
talk called attention to the fact
that the new work in the High
school will surely mark an epoch
in the History of Harney County.
He also admonished the students
to make the very best use of their
time and to appreciate the splen-
did opportunity they have to get
a practical education.
Judge Thompson in a few well
chosen remarks impressed upon
the students the necessity for
earnest and conscientious work
in order to attain the greatest
success.
Mr.. Geer amused the audience
with "reminiscences Of his school
days and declared his intention 10
break into" both Of the new
courses if he could.
Mr.. Sizemore spoke concern
ing a new building for the high
school and maintained that an
adequate building could be erect
ed for considerable less than
some of the estimates that had
been given.
Mr.. Leedy the teacher Of Agri-
culture and Miss Irwin teacher Of
Domestic Art were then introduc-
ed to the students. They briefly
outlined their work and made q
very favorable impression on
everyone.
The board and teachers then
had a meeting in which the work
and plans for the year were fully
discussed.
Judge Thompson spoke of the
fact that the enrollmont would
be larger if parents throughout
the county did not find il so
difficult to find suitable homes
for their children here. The
members of the Board feel that
a suitable home ought to be
provided for all students who
come here without their parents.
The conduct of students. out
side of school hours, was discuss
ed and the teachers recognized
their responsibility and were
willing to assume their share Of
of it.
1t would be hard to find a more
earnest company of young people
than is now enrolled in our high
school. Many have begged for |
the privilege of taking more than |
the required work. Every pupil
is planning his school work for
some definite life work.
There are classes in Latin and
German, in fact ali the college
requirements are being taught
as they were before the introduc-
ton of the new courses.
English is the only subject that
every pupil is required to take.
All other subjects are optional.
We are informed that the
teachers will be pleased to have
visitors at any time that the
school work is in progress.

from the same source. Local
business men might profit by the
example and 'hus make the fair
more attractive.
The fair board works without
compensation and neglect their
private business to make il go.
The amount of revenue is limit
ed and il take considerable schem-
ing TO make both ends meet, but
il always comes out somehow,
although frequently at the ex-
pense and Inconvenience of mem
bers of the board and the sacri-
flee of friendships in some in
stances. The business men Of
Burns are the only ones to receive
any direct benefits from holding
OF the fair and they should give
the board active support. They
should take n greater interest in
its affairs and help in every way
possible to make it attractive and
profitable to the farmers and visi-
tors. There are many demands
on the association that are unex-
pected expense that has not
been calculated each season and
it is hard TO meet its obligations
from time to time. Ii should be
given hearty support by all good
citizens. What donations and
appropriations that are received
by the Association are for spe-
cifc purpose and do not help in
the general expense of the fair.
The only source of revenue with
out a string to it is from the gate
receipts and the field is limited
in that respect, there being but
few people in Harney county
and fewer who attend the fair,
such improvements rs are made
and expense incurred have to be
kept within the revenue received.
During the past seven years,
or rather six years this heing the
seventh year Of the Association,
no other factor has done more
toward the upbuilding of the
country or stimulated the farm
ing and stockraising industries
than the fair, yet it has not re-
ceived the consideration that il
merits. 1t has not been given
credit for what it has accomplish
ed, but that other sources have
been given the praise and re-
ceived the plaudis that rightfully
belongs to the fair. This is in
the way of explanation. The
board has worked faithfully each
year and asked no compensation
for the personal service of the
in fact not one of them
would do the work for a money
consideration. 1t is a purely
charitable undertaking that they
feel is due the country and that
someone must do. 1t would be
an impossibility to pay for all
the work attached to the holding
Of these annual fairs, for the
source of revenue would not justi-
fy it.
The farmer who takes an in
terest in the fair and brings in
his exhibits is doing his part and
they are the ones who should be !
given some credit for enterprise |
and sacrifice They also profit |
by the fair in that it gives them |
new ideas, new standards Of per-
lection to work for. The school
children are given a part in the
fair this season that should be
made permanent. 1t IS an edu-
,ation to them and brings before
hem practical matters that will
'esult in lasting benefit.

How Much is a Settler Worth

Some interesting figures are being
compiled by the Northwest Develop
ment League to show the value Of a
colonist and his family. Here is a
problem in long figures which looks
reasonable. II the increase in popu-
lation in the American Northwest dur
ing the last ten years Of 1000, 900
people, caused our lands to increase
in value S2,812, $50, 1872, how much
is a colonist who works the land WORTH
These figures show that for every per
son added to population the value OF
our lands was increased 81, If a
family consists Of two and a half peo-
pie on the average, each family in
creases land values S3,515. On the
other hand and added to this, it is
conceded that every family spends To-
cally from 5000 to $1,000 per annum.
On this basis family which works the
land is worth about $4,000 to the
American Northwest.
