OOTOUKtt SI, UW BUnaORIlTION UATKSi Una Yet . ilx Honthi Thrto Months 1.0 IIII.1AH IITHII Mnnarr "End of frco land" is tho heading on nn nrtido from Scrib nor nuMtahed on the Hrst toko in this issuo in which tho public land commissioner is quoted n9 saying thnt public lands wnicn now remain nre chiclly nrid in nfeovflftniv This mnv bo so to n certain extent butnotaltoKuther. It merely shows that tho cast is vnf nnlfn iVnornnt of the west nnd rnnditinns. Wo vet luivo Millions of acres of land to home stead whore profitablo crops may bo raised by proper cultivation without irrigation. This land is semi-arid. Wo also have in some portions of tho west great bodies of arid land where irrigation is possible, yet these eastern peo pie, although they bewail tho condition of no land for tho land less, will not allow it to bo ac complished. On our first page is also an articlo stating that the cast will oppose tho proposed bond issuo to mnko the reclama tion of vast areas possible. Tho man who takes advantage of tho land is the one who must pay for this bond issue, yet tho East will fight it. In Idaho and Oregon within the last two years, 10 conven tions and representative gather ings have met to consider the construction of railroads by dis tricts, the money for construc tion to bo secured by bonding the land benefited. Railroads make land more valuable. They add from $20 to $500 an aero lo agricultural land, especially in the state of Oregon, where they make fruit shipments possible. In California irrigation canals costing many millions have been constructed in this manner. Tho construction of railroads by bond ing the lan'ds benefited and keep ing the enormous values thus created in the hands of the peo ple owning tho land, instead of in the hands of Wall street specu lators, may seem a little startling, but if the peonlo are willing to let any railroadless district try it, perhaps it may be a way out of paying dividends on watered stock or doing without transpor tation. It is up to the people. Ex. capital yot interested to put in proper machinery to go any depth for oil, but It has funds with which to put tho enormous flow of gas in commercial shape, thoreioro tuoro is no ruiiauii iu waiting, especially as thero is a demand tor jne gas. Fow of us scorn to roalizo tho ....! .,!.. nf flita rrna 1(UV to tllQ ri;ui vuiuvi uv mhu " development of tho country. It means, whon rcauzen, mo may reclamation of vast bodies of Bomi-arid land in this vnlloy by means of pumping plants. This is nn important factor that should demand first nttention. When this gas is put in shapo for uso we shall seo a vast dliTorcnco in things. ANOTIIGK BIO TIRG. Tho Buonn Vista swamp, on tho Ulitzon botween the Narrows and P-Rnnch has been on flro for several days and could bo plainly soon from Burns at night. It has swept over considerable tor ritory but has dono but little damage other than destroy a largo amount of pasture nnd ono stack of hay. In seems this flro started by accident tho samo as the one last week that destroyed hay for tho Hanley company near Burns. This firo is likely to burn for an indefinite timo as tho Buena Vista swamp is n made soil for a great depth and is something of the nature of a peat bog. When once iunited it is very hard to extinguish and will likely burn until heavy rains come. Tho Buena Vista is a Hanley company ranch nnd belongs with tho French-Glen holdings. If you are a kicker and see the shadow of failure in everything that is proposed to heto the town, for -heaven's sake go into some secluded canyon and kick your own shadow on theclaybank, and give the men who are working to build up the town a chance. One long faced, hollowed eyed, whining, gaping, chronic kicker can do more to keep away busi ness and capital from a town than all the drouths, short crops, cinch bugs, cyclones and blizzards combined. Dufur Dispatch. Twelve hogs recently disposed of to a local butcher brought tho rancher over 5250. These pork ers had likely been raised upon alfalfa and skimmed milk with a little grain feeding to top them off. Does it pay to raise hogs in Harney county? There is no over production of hogs in tho local market and farmers should raise more of them. The same may be said of dairy products and poultry. GIVE A GRAND BALL. The ladies of Sylvia R. D, Lodge, No. 43, I. O. 0' F., are quite proud of the Odd Fellow building now nearing completion and are determined to have some hand in tho work, therefore they deaire to help furnish the new lodge room. They have planned to give a grand ball in tho larg est store room as soon as it is completed, tho funds from this ball to be added to that now on hand for furniture. They may also servo supper if the banquet room is completed in time. Somo of tho local musicians have volunteered their services to assist in furnishing tho music for the occasion. It is possiblo the ball will bo given about Thanksgiving.

Eagle. In discussing tho commercial value of the natural gas discov ered near tho lakes with a mem ber of the Harney Vnlloy Oil & Gas Co. tho other day, Tho Times Herald learned that it is quite likely tho company will do some thing with it in tho near future. It seems there isn't sufficient DIXIB IS NOW TUB TLPMINUS. General Superintendent Grant Gcddea of tho Sumpter Valley railroad while hero last week stated that tho extension of the Sumpter Vnlloy railroad would be complete to Huckleberry flat by the middle of this week and nt that timo tho company would handle all traffic both freight and passongcrs to that point, The name of the new station has been changed from Huckleberry Flat to Dixie. This was dono to avoid confusion, n3 there is an other station on the lino by the same name. The railroad com pany are entitled to high compli-, ment for the early completion of the road and they aro entitled to all reasonable encouragement to complete tho extension on into the valley. Blue Mt. Eagle. The Illimitable Wheat Field. It is through wheat, through a monomania of whpat, that tho New Line runs from tho Rockies back to Winnipeg, a thousand miles. It is for wheat that the Grand Trunk Pacific, beginning at a point east of Winnipeg on tho Government section of tho Now Line, has built a branch south ward to Canada's Lake Superior port It is for wheat that at that port, at Fort William and Port Arthur, tho dominating objects in tho landscape aro circular bins, wheat wells, which have an im mediately prospective capacity of 25,000,000 bushels. It is for wheat, overflowing even such ' a prospect, that tho Grand Trunk Pacific, at Fort William, beyond tho Mission' River, has driven 11,000 piles through soft soil to rock-bottom, has covered their top3 witn a solid concreto mattress three feet thick, and on that mattress, is rearing concreto cylinders, twenty-four feet in diameter, to a height of ninety-fivo feet, seventy of them, in seven rows of ten each, touching each othor, making fifty-four interspaces, making a capacity of 2,500,000 bushels, making ono unit. Four such units will make tho storage part of ono elevator, Four such elovators will com plete tho plan, a 40,000,000-bush-cl plan. It is for-wheat that more ships arc needed every year to travel from Port Arthur and Fort Wil liam down to tho ports on tho lower Great Lakes. Wm. Hard in thcFNbvcmber Everybody's. R. D.
