people Of that little city well pleased
with the recent Chautauaua festiyai
which closed that night. They did
not have the attendance they had
hoped for but weather conditions
were responsible for II as each mum.
per OF the program proved most at
tractive and satisfactory. The writer
hnd the pleasure OF meeting the sun
erlntendent of tho Festival and die
cu7sing the possibility OF securing a
Lyccum course for the winter
moiiths. II was found that the
schedule had been entirely made up
for this season however. and we
must await next season for this en-
tcrtainment.
During his visit he among Others
called upon Mr.. Wallace of the Crane
state Bank who ovinced keep inter
est IN the aifairs OF tho county and
especially with the prospects for irri-
CATION. MIR. Wallace stated his COM
munity was Interested In the SUCCESS
OF such scheme and would certain
ly lend It's influence to bring about
the desired results. lie suggested
that the government might be fact
or In promoting the storage OF the
flood waters OF the Silvies and thus
bring about the reclamation OF a lar
Ger area OF land under the silvies
Irrigation project. II certainly would
be a factor II II once took hold or tho
scheme but whether Il could be done
is a matter for those better informed
than the writer.
The citizens OF Crane are still be-
hind the proposition OF better road
facilities between that point and Jor-
dan Valley and are determined 10
make II 20. That's the proper spirit
and We aSpe TO see II succeed. Mr..
Wallace thinks the entire country
should take up to It's possibilities
and get together on a general devel-
opment plan as he considers We are
ncglccting our opportunities.
We suggest that n Joint meeting
be arranged between the Crane live
wires and the Burns Commercial club
where such matters may be brought
before the two communities and dis
russed with the idea OF team work
Oh matters OF mutual benefit.

Halloween Dance
Promises 10 Be

The Halloween dance promises to
be one OF the most successful ever
given IN Burns. The management
was successful In securing Reed and
Robinson's Jazz orchestra for the af-
fair. and the Mothers club Is ready
with It's plans for the pumpkin pie
supper as we'll as other good things.
Timely decorations are almost
completed. giving the. hall an air OF
Halloween gayety that will add i'm
menscly to the enjoyment OF the
evening. Several stunts will be of
fered for the patrons. tag steps. Paul
Jones steps. ladies choice numbers.

Realizing that the moon will not
be greatly In evidence at that time OF
the month. the managers have con
structed their own "moon." and
claim II gives much better effect
than the orb of night herself.

which there Is considerable mystery.

have taken the precaution of notify
ing several by mail OF these two
events. but In case anyone was over

requested to accept this as notice.

Residents Urge Improved
Facilities.
IDAHO RECEIVES Big ADVANTAGE
Number Of Central 0resos Towns Ap.
prove Petitions Calling for I'M
prsvemeut Of Mail Roads.

Better facilities for communica-
tion with the outside world and
Western Oregon In particular is the
thought uppermost I'm the minds OF
the residents Of Burns and that vi
cinity, according to q statement made
by r. 8. Bramwell, vice president OF
visited that section recently. Says
the Portland Journal.
Extension Of mail roads is impera-
tive now, says Bramwell, and unless
Oregon heeds the call OF the Central
Oregon people. Idaho will obtain a
firmer grip on the trade OF this Sec
tion than II has al present. The mer-
chants are unable TO prevent such a
movement, despite their wishes TO
remain In every respect part OF fhs
state.
Petitions have been drawn up and
approved by several Central oregon
towns for extension OF mail service.
but the Burns demands seem to be
the most urgent.
Burns wants the mail stage that
runs from Canyon City half way TO
that city every day extended on
through on an every other day sched-
ule and says that the contractor
handling the mail route. will make
this change without making additioG-
nj charges.
The citizens also want mail route
established from Bend To Burns and
yet have the mail route between
Burns and Crane left undIsturbed.
Bramwell says that during his visit
IN Burns he found that Portland mall
arrived there two days late. This
lost time would be made up TO some
extent by the extension Of the Canyon
City route, and with the opening OF
communications TO Bend. II would be
possible 10 obtain natl from -Weztern
Oregon the next dug after being
mailed.
With the Crane connections tie
eastern mail is handled In an admir-
able manner and II In the desire to
leave this route undisturbed. The
merchant of Boise is practically able
10 communicate with Burns and close
a business deal before the Portlanf
merchant can ever be heard from.
and Il is of interest to the entire state
that the latter help Central oregon
obtain the new connections.
Resolutions have been passed by
Bend. Vale. Ontario and other com
mercial clubs OF Central Oregon for
other changes. but are eooperstihs =
the establishment Of new service for
Burns az the most imperative need
for the entire section.

"Oregon and Washington will OBJ

GIL.

Tho city council met in special ad-
jourael session at the city hall Wcdncs-

As originally proposed, this sewer
would extend from First avenue north

not be much benefit and they suggest cd
that it be changed and be routed down

Broadway to Second street and south
on Second street to a point gu !cct
south Of First avenue southeast. Mem.
