Throe Month! - ia.oo .i.W JULIAN II Til It Mnrm The party whip is not going to have any effect upon intelligent, self respecting and thinking voters at the coining election. They are going to support men who will make the best ollkcrs. If they have n pood, obliging and competent man in a position of trust where he has done his duty they will likely put him there again rather than take chances on an unknown quantity. On the other hand if an oflicer has not done his duty and they are certain they can do better they will turn him out. And Hint's right Some peoplo spend a life time trying to get an office while others are retained for an indefi nite period by the voters when they find them the right men in the right places. We want com petent, obliging officers and when we find one who does his duty keep him. Mr. Voter know your man first and then do your voting. His party affiliations don't make him anv better oflicer that's what we want good ones. HARNEY COUNTY PRODUCTS ENROUTE. Fair Association Packs and Ships Our Exhibits for Hill Adtcrtlsinj: Car. The Fair Association has look ed after the packing and ship ment of 2G boxes containing Harney county products to be used by the Great Northern rail way in its advertising car this winter. Piatt Randall very kind ly superintended this work and we feel it will reach its destina tion in good shape. In all there were 3270 pounds shipped and contained fruit, grain and vege tables Some of the best pro ducts could not be sent as it was impossible to pack them in a manner that would insure their preservation in a proper condi tion for display. Had the Great "Northern people been here to select and properly preserve them we would have had a larger shipment As it is, however, Harney County will not be ashamed of her products and will compare most favorably with other sections. The entire shipment was start ed for Prairie City Thursday and goes to Mr. Graham, the emigra tion agent at Portland. MMMtNMMCMMMM lines in Oregon. Prof. Shaw's visit hero will bo n great benefit to this section as ho is writing articles for the big papers tolling of conditions. POLITICAL SPEAKINO ON THURSDAY. lion.

Chamberlain will bo in Hums next Thursday evening, Oct. 20, and speak at tho court house. Both of these gentlemen are fine speakers and everybody is cordially invited to be present. Senator Chamberlain has many warm personal friends in this county who will bo pleased to see him and it is to bo hoped all may be able to come in on that even ing. The gentlemen would like to devote more time to this coun ty but thoy have a big territory to cover and will have to leave hero Friday morning for Canyon in order to meet other dates. HIE COUNTY PAIR. DRY FARMING ADVICE. Prof. Thos. Shaw gave an ex cellent talk on dry farming methods at the court house last Tuesday evening. Prof. Shaw thoroughly understands his sub ject and his discussion of local soils and conditions will prove of great benefit to local farmers if his advise is heeded. There were not as many present as would have been had it been generally known in advance when Prof. Shaw would be in Burns. A heavy rain also interfered with some who desired to hear him. Prof. Shaw considers Harney county soil ideal for dry farming as it is of a nature to retain mois ture most effectively when pro perly tilled. He is confident win ter wheat may be successfully grown under this method and yield from 35 to 40 bushels per acre. He suggests frequent cul tivation with disc and harrow. Prof. Shaw advocates harrowing the grain immediately after it comes up, especially following a rain, this breaking up any crust that may have formed that would tend to prevent young shoots from coming through. He is condident alfalfa can be made a successful crop even without ir rigation. This forage is not only one of the best for stock but also adds much to the soil. Alfalfa should be drilled in at least two inches deep and from 10 to 12 pounds to the acre. Prof. Shaw advised tho farm ers not to attempt grain crops every year where they had to use dry farm methods but to prepare the soil each successive season. He considers fodder corn or peas a good every other year. crop. Corn will not likely mature hut make fine fodder for Btock and with a diminishing range forage for stock should be considered. Prof. Shaw left Wednesday in company with President David son of tho Oregon & Western colonization Co. for Prineville where they expect to meet John F. Stevens, the head of tho Hill Last Saturday the county fair closed with a fine program for closing day and a good atten dance. Among the most pleas ing and interesting features of the afternoon were the baby show and the automobile parade. There were nine cars in the par ade and the prize was awarded to Mrs. Archie McGowan who drove a Ford which was hand somely decorated with white and purple. She had a load of charmihg young ladies all dress ed in white. The load later went out to meet Oswald West The weather had been ideal but that afternoon a wind -storm came up that disaranged some of the decorations and blew away many of the flowers with which the car was embelished. There were six girls and three boys entered in the baby show. It was no little task for the judges to make their decision in this contest. They wished there had been prizes for all but, Mr. Davev had made the conditions of the contest and could not change it Wm. Hanley, W. W. Brown and Judge Levens finally settled the matter so far as the girls were concerned and award ed the prize to Helen little dau ghter of Mr. and Mrs. J. T. Gar rett Misses Josephine Lochcr, Leila Egli and Agnes Sayer de cided the boys' contest in favor of Earl, tho little son of Mr. and Mrs. Clarence Mace. The products on exhibition in the pavilion were left intact at the close of the fair in order that the selection for the Hill adver tising car might be made. This was done and those having pro ducts loft were permitted to re move them. The week was a successful one in every respect and the people in general seemed satisfied. The Association was handicapped in providing suitable entertainment for each afternoon as the printed program had to be changed. However all were well pleased and the association will be able to mecf. all obligations and pay the premiums in full. The at tendance was very good but the gate receipts have totled more at former fairs.

Oswald West, candidnte for governor, was in tho city last Saturday night and made his mniden speech at tho court house to a large crowd. Oswald is a young man who is close to the people and has made good in every position of trust ho has as sumed. He saved many thou sand dollars for the school fund in this stitc during tho time he was state land agent and as rail road commissioner has done much to reduce and equalize rates that has been beneficial to tho people. Mr. West's record is such that he doesn't have to carry a brass band and a lot of spell binders with him to make his campaign a success for the peoplo know his worth and are going to stt port him. They know how he stands on vital questions that effect tho welfare of the peoplo of this stite and since his op ponent is the head of tho assem bly machine and his candidacy advocated by tho big interests, Oswald will walk off with the plum. There is no question as to his integrity and capability. He is one of the people and can deal with every problem that may confront him as chief executive of he state. Hon. Dal ton Biggs candidate for circuit judge of this district was called upon after Mr. West had closed his remarks and re sponded with one of the best talks ever listened to by our peo ple. Mr. Biggs is an able man and fully appreciates tho impor tance and dignity of tho position to which he aspires. Should ho be elected he would endeavor to fulfil the duties honestly, fear lessly and impartially. His legal ability cannot bo questioned. POLITICAL SPEAKING.

As a candidate for county judge I have been asked to stale my position on road matters. I advocato smaller road district in order that the roads all over the county may bo worked ad vantageously at a time when conditions tiro most favorable, thus securing better results from such work and give tho people tho benefit of good roads early in tho season. Should I ho elected I shall carefully consider all now roads petitioned for and endeav or to lay them out in the most practicable places where they will bo most beneficial. J. W. Buchanan, Harney, Oregon. communicated. I, E. N. Jameson, having re ceived the nomination for County Trensurer on the Republican ticket for which I tun very thank ful and will say in advnnce that if I am elected for the second term that tho county's money will bo handled as the law pro vides. I havo not the time to sparo to leave the office to canvass tho county at this season of the year and I could not get a man to fill my plnce without pay tho salary being only seven hundred dollnrs per year and after paying $S0.00 for insurance bond that leaves six hundred and twenty. I only mention this in order that tho people may understand how much the treasurer gets. I havo been a resident of this county for twenty-five years and am quite well known by the old settlers as well as being known of by people who havo settled in the county in later years. Now if tho people believe that I am the right man in tho right place and deserving of a second term then I shall be grateful for their support Yours Truly, E. N. Jamiison. NOTICE KOU PUBLICATION.

Old Folks nt Home MY I'l.ATI'OltM To maintain as a pari of our System of State Government, tho Direct Primary Law, including Statement No. 1, tho Initiative and Referendum, Recall and Cor rupt Practice Act. I will at all times stand for such Progressive Laws as are necessary to further safe-guard the Interests of tho People, anil the upbuilding and prosperity of the State of Oregon. My actions will be governed by ths expressed will of tho people and their de sire will bo final in determining what action I may take upon Public Questions. I shall advocate such laws as will tend to raise tho sUtndard of our Public Schools, tho foun dation of our Educational System. 9G per cent of nil our children receive their education in the public schools, and this Branch of Government is too important to l)o neglected as it usually is.
