(Continued from ikiko ono) however, Hint the purees would not justify. Such nn objection could likely be remedied if the horsemen would show n disposi tion to put their horses in shape in sufficient numbers to make contests interesting. Wo have never had a real harness contest over the course and what exhibi tions have been pulled off wore a frost so far as an attraction to the grand stand was concerned. Public subscriptions have boon raised among tho business men of Burns for the purpose of amusement for fair visitors but these contributions have been given grudgingly by many and in a manner that is humiliating to the one who has solicited them. In the past these sub scriptions have not always been collected entirely and the Fair Association has had to make good tho shortage in order to carry out the program. The Times-Herald is giving these facts not as a complaint but to show the people of this section the situation. The writer has just looked over an Ontario exchange and finds that the business men of that town have offered over 47 special premiums for their coun ty fair. These range from $1.50 up to $S0 - some are cash, others the equivalent in useful machin ery, merchandise, ect. Oik firm gives eight special premium one being a fine six-hole steel range. These specials are not given with painstaking conditions that would be taken as a personal gain to the donor except in one or two instances. So far Mr. Morris Schwartz, it the only man in Harney coun ty who has come forward with special premiums. He has olFer. ed $5 for the best wheat raised on dry sage brush land in the valley or on bench land, and the same amount for potatoes grown under similar conditions. Of course the fair board has not gone out to solicit such but with past experience it is hard to get one to volunteer such a mission. Ono trouble is Hint people will contribute with strings to it. Hace horse men want races; manv enthusiasts would liko to see baseball games, others bran co busting and roiling contests. These are all at Unctions of in terest and worthy of considera tion, yet when funds are thus divided up it is possiblo there is not sufficient in any ono fund to justify contest. The county fair is for the mutual benefit of all. It is not intended or conducted with a view of being personal benefit to anyone citizen or community. The board always selects impar tial judges on all awards and these are made on merit of ex hibits. The premium list is got ten up with a view of distribu ting the small amount available to tho various industries in accor dance with their importance in Harney county. IIAKNHY COUNTY NEEDS ROAD (Continued from page one) for irrigated products without a railroad to haul them out. Experiments seem to show that the Harney valley is adapta ble to the growing of sugar beets j just as is the very similar Salt, Lake valley in Utah. Hut tho( railroad must first give an outlet for the product. Harney county, like Malheur county, has oil and gas possibilities, which may some day solve the. fuel problem. An association of Hums business men are at present developing oil properties south of Hums, with apparently good prospects ahead. Irrigation is not all in the fu ture in Harney county. It is estimated that 70,000 acres are now being irrigated or partially irrigated. And the total amount of land possible of irrigation is placed at 500,000 acres. Three new projects are now indifi'ercnt stages of construction. The Warner lake project in the south western corner of the county, contemplates reclaiming about 2(5.000 acres in Harney and 74,000 acres in Lake county. Work is under way on the Hanley project south of Burns that will drain and reclaim about 40,000 acres; and much preliminary work has' been done on the Silver creek project of about 20,000 acres 2.r miles west of Hums. ! The present estimated popula-j tion of Hums, the chief town of. the Harney country, is between 1000 and 1200. It has a sightly location on a little ridge above the valley, and like all central Oregon towns is vigorous and growing. It has large stores and strong banks, being the supply center for an immense- area. Tho town has electric lights. The water is supplied by dozens of windmills, one for every two re sidences, it seems. Many of the business houses are of brick and stone. A $20. 000 atone nnd brick business and lodge structure is now being erected, ami still other buildings are under way. Hums is steadily growing and advanc ing, but with tho coining of tho promised railroads I ho one pray ed for event in Ilnr.iuy county -tho town would jump into an importance that would surely bring joy to tho great poet for whom it was named. SOU UKUAT I'OSSIIM.ITIIift. A very pleasant reception was tendered Judge II. S. Lovott, head of the Hnrrimnn railroad system, and his party Saturday evening at the Masonic hall. It was an informal affair and for the particular purpose of having .Judge Lovott meet tho people rather than to learn anything definite regarding railroad build ing. Had the latter been ex pected the meeting would certain ly have been a disappointment. Judge Lovott spoko briefly, stat ing the party were most favora bly impressed with tho possibili ties of Harney valley under pro per conditions but before there was much development wo would have to conserve and properly distributed the water thai is now allowed to go to waste. Judge Lovett made a good common sense talk and pointed out tho necessity of bettering natural conditions as a greater induce ment toward railroad building. The gentleman stated it would take an immense sum of money to build a railroad into this country and doubted whether it would pay at present. Judge Iovett was followed by Win. Hanley who said we all realized it would take a big lot of money to build a road but that wo would nut in with hint. Hill said he knew Judge Lovett could get the money and we would back him up with the country. Harney county was worth considerable more and we'd give him tho country in exchange for a rail railroad Mr. Hanley 's remarks caused much laughter. Atty. W. W. Cotton made a few pleasing remarks and ex pressed an appreciation of tho reception tendered tho party. They had seen wonderful possi bilities while on their trip through the valley on that day. Judge Webster also gave a short ad dress dealing with the advant ages of this section and what transportation would do for us. After Judge Webster closed his remarks those present were invited to bo at ease and partake of punch and smoke some good cigars. The party left Sunday morn ing for Lakeview and later came North through the Deichutes country and I'rinoville, thence over tho Cascades to Lebanon where they took tho train to Portland. Financial Trouble Dlanppcnr. No one needs hesitate because of financial troubles to go to the seashore at this time. Tho very low faros offered by tho O. It, & N. Co. for their snucinl train ox cursiou to tho Beach insures a largo crowd from Eastern Ore iron. Ston-ovcrs will bo nor mitted on tho going up trip of two days and a nigut at Portland as well as a stop-over on tho re turn trip.
