Three Monthi - 70 JULIAN IIVHII So far the winter has been ideal with sufficient snowfall to warrant a good season this year, the stockmen have no complaint to make, therefore we are all satisfied. Since the city council has left the decision of high saloon license to the voters of Burns it is their duty to study the situation care fully and decide accordingly. The Times-Herald believes there are too many saloons in Burns and that they are not all conduct ed in a manner that is a credit to the city. graph was found in a Boise paper: The register and receiver of the Boise Innd office today re ceived important circulars from Fred Dennett, commissioner of the general land office, governing assignments of homestead en tries within reclamation projects, wherein it is provided and so ruled by the department that nn entryman can assign any part of his entry even down to ono ncrc of it if he so wishes. This assignment privilege will come as a great relief to settlors on reclamation projects and assist them to meet their financial ob ligations by assigning part of their lands. No assignment of a portion of any farm unit will be recognized, however, by tho de partment as modifying any ap proved water right application. amWftMMMIMIIM1MM muii licunsb uimoi'l-opu!.

The coyote gathers toll from the sheepman's flock and by ex terminating him, it is claimed, the rabbits multiply and destroy the farmer's grain. By placing a nounty on Doth there is a howl about taxes and there you are. The best so lution of the whole thing is for Ilarriman and Hill to hurry their railroads in hero and give the country n chance to develop by placing a farmer on every 80 or ICO acres of tillable land thus making the peoplo so thick and such n largo area of the land un- The Times-Herald believes in uw vuhoii uiui me rauou protecting the game birds but"" j ! win uo reuueeu 10 a doesn't approve of too much pre- minimum.

S. Senators seems to bo doomed to defeat according to Washington advices. Well it may not come this session of congress, but it will finally pass. Sheriff Collier returned from Boise, Idaho, Tuesday and stated that ho was informed at Baker by Joseph A, Barton that ar rangements have been made for tho extension of tho Sampler Valley railroad from Prairie City the present terminus to John Day. This work is to be dono this summer. Preparatory for this extension it is understood that work on the depot nt Prairie City has been suspended for tho present. Mr. Eccles, president of tho railroad has in his possession a draft for $7000 which wns raise I by the peoplo of tho John Day valley ns n bonus for tho exten sion of the road. This fund wns raised about tho same time that Prairie City oirorcd the bonus of $10,000 for tho construction of tho road to that place.

The legislature should not take up the whim of cranks on tho sub ject when making laws. There's ! less on tho range for tho coyote to prey upon and with n better system of protection against both than at present tho future of these pests will be short lived. such a thing of too especially respecting fowl. much law, : the water WANTS TELEPHONE CONNECTION. Senator Oliver of Union county has introduced a bill in the legis lature providing for a state nor mal school at La Grande. It carries an appropriation of $100, 000. From the expressions in the Portland papers it would seem that tho bill was not re ceived very favorably and that it will not get very far beforo it is indefinitely postponed. The Timos-Herald believes it a bad move to again bring the normal schools into the legislature. The voters defeated the proposition to re-establish tho Weston school at the recent election but voted favorable for Monmouth. If it is shown during the coming two years that Oregon needs another normal and the Monmouth school is conducted as it should be East ern Oregon may ask and got a normal. Tho fact that a homesteader or ono who has taken land under the public land laws cannot bar gain to dispose of any part of it or in any wise use it as collateral security works a hardship in somo respects. Tho man who would like to nrrango with irri gation promoters or thoso en gaged in actual construction of irrigation plants must put up hard cash under present condi tions. Since tho above was written and in typo tho following para- Louis Doonar, manager of the Pioneer Telephone & Telegraph Co. of Prineville, is in tho city trying to arrango for connections for his line into Burns. Mr, Doonar has 85 miles of line out this way from Prineville and be lieves it would be of mutual bone fit to connect. Ho had not received much en couragement from local mon con nected with lines yesterday and was of the opinion that nothing can be dono under present condi tions. It may bo arranged later, however. We believe connec tions in that direction would prove a benefit to us. Mr. Doonar Btates that Prine vileo is going to build n railroad to connect with tho Deschutes lines. Thero is also somo discus sion of tho Prineville branch be ing a part of the Hill lino to ex lend on east to Burns and tho Harney country. TIMCHINO AOKICULTUW! IN SCHOOL. Every country school house should teach economics. There is nothing in .country lifo that cannot bo overcome by tho ap plication of thought and labor, and it is this overcoming that makes lifo worth tho while. A recent bulletin from nn agricul tural college reports, from accu rato tests, that over ono third tho cows that aro kept for dairy purposes do not pay for their feed and enro. Recent discussion of high prices has also brought Tho Times-Herald has been "up against it" this week on railroad building. It has not figured out any now roads to build but has found tho following in tho Boise Capital News that will interest its readers in this ceunty: Tho Mnlhcur canyon, which has often been referred to as the "key to central Oregon," and which for somo years has been the bone of contention between tho great Hill and Ilarriman railroad systems, is at last de cided upon as tho avenuo into tho interior that both tho Boiso & Western, a Hill road, and tho Oregon Eastern, a Ilarriman line, will use. It was learned today in Boiso railroad circles that although James J. Hill agreed and did transfer to tho Ilarriman peoplo his right-of-way including deeded lnnds in this canyon he also closed n contract with tho lntter system by which the Hill road can jointly uso tho railroad that is eventually laid through the canyon. Tho per fection of this deal only creates more interest in Boiso railroad circles as to what connection tho Hill road proposes to make with tho cast. Railroad men aro still at sea us to deciding whether it will bo tho Gilmoro & Pittsburg, tho Burlington, which is headed towards soutcern Idaho, through nn agreement with tho North western, or tho construction of an entirely new line. Boiso men, especially thoso reasonably closo to the situation, dcclnro that it is a rcmarknblo fact that a numbor of tho promi nent business men of tho city, especially thoso connected with tho management of electric lines, aro absolutely confident that Boiso is to bo given, within n reasonnblo time, tho main lino of somo railroad. Tho failuro on tho part of tho Oregon Short Lino to nnnounce, in its building plans for 1911 tho construction of tho Owinza-Boiso cut-off, caused no littlo disappointment among railroad men. That tho Short Lino will build this cut-ofT is taken for granted by them, but that it will not be construct ed until tho Ilarriman peoplo have decided that its construc tion is imperative, is also taken for granted. Public expressions and tho declarations of railroad men hero persistently point to tho Gilmoro & Pittsburg as tho logical line for Boiso and tho road that Hill will construct through central Idaho with which to mako his westorn connection with tho Boiso & Western. TO PUMP WATER IIV ELECTRICITY. W. C. Pnrriuh arrived horo last Saturday afternoon to again tako up his proposition to irrigate por tions of Harney Valloy by means of pumping with electric power. Tho gentleman was hero in Dec ember and found everything ro fnvornblo to tho project condi tions, power sites and the people - that ho was much encouraged. Therefore ho camo this time pre pared to remain and put every thing in readiness to establish the plant. Mr. Parrish is now out in tho vicinity of tho lakes securing dutn and necessary material to aid in tho formntion of his com panyfacts, surveys, plats, etc. Tho project has sufficient back ing to flnanco Hand now tho only thing necessary is sufficient land to justify tho Installation of an initinl plant whero its practica bility can bo demonstrated. With the encouragement already given this is assured. Mr. Parrish de sires a compact body of land near tho Inko on which to established this initial plant and after that it will bo an easy matter to branch out. Mr. Pnrrish has a good feasi ble proposition and ono Hint means a great ileal toward early development of this vnlloy. Tho power enn bo used to great ad vantage in vnrious ways. It will enablo people to install their own pumping plants on mall trnctB and uso tho underground wntera for irrigation. In fact it opens up many advantages that will bo of mutual benefit to nil concerned. Another feature that appeals is that this project offers the quickest manner in which to get water in quantities upon the land. Mr. Parrish oxpccls to hnvo tho initial project ready for the sea son of 1912. This is no extrava gant notion but ono that can lit. accomplished in that time if a tract of somo 20,000 acres can bo secured in tho near futue. According to Mr. Parrish local peoplo will not bo compelled to finance this project, but merely contract with his company for irrigation at a prico not exceed ing $20 porncic. Tho Timos-Hernld behoves Mr. Parrish capablo of delivering the goods and hopes to see his plans completed in tho very near future to such an extent that the pro ject will go without delay.

WHAT 'CHER KNOW AIIOUT THIS. The issue of tho Bluo Mt. Eagle wlijch was received hero yesterday contained nmong other locals of 2-1 years ago tho follow fellow follew ing: Jim Mahon was over from his ranch in Muloheaven last week. Ho has embarked in n new enterprise, tho modus oper andi of which is this; He stretch es a wire screen across the prairie, tho said screen hnving meshes only large enough for n Johnrnbbitt to poke his head through. Then men and dogs round up the festive Johnrnbbitt. Ho gets frightened, and in his efforts to escape his pursuers runs his head through tho holes in tho screen, when his 31x9 curs flop forward and ho is caught. Then, with jack knives, tho hunters go on tho outside of tho screen and scalp tho captives, bring the ears to the county seat and recoivo five cents a pair, and liberate tho animals, in tpo hope that they will ere tho summer is over, grow a new pair of five cent ears.
