It was more or less a shock to the many acquaintances of tho family as but Vow know of her illness. Mrs. McKinnon was ono of tho best known and highly eslecmel pioneer women of this country whero sho has resided sinco 1880.

Managi'i A farmer took two thousand bushels of wheat to market and there was little demand, the dealers all being supplied so he was compelled to sell it a busliel at a time to tho people living in tho town, and most of them not having the change promised to pay soon as they got the money. The farmer considered that he had done the best possible thing and he knew that all the people were good for the bushel of wheat but (.to you know when it came to squaring up these two thou sand accounts the farmer had an awful time and he immediately went to the office of his county paper and squared his subscrip tion for one year in advance, saying he knew just how it was when a man had a couple of thousand small accounts. And it is the same in all newspaper offices, says an exchange. That's the situation with us at present. The Times-Herald is haveing a fine office building From, present indications wo aio going to have the best coun ty fair tliis fall in the history of the county and that there will Go many noted people from the out side to view it. Tho meeting of .the Central Oiegon Development League the same week will bring not only distinguished visitors from the big commercial and railroad cen ters, but many of our neighbors from Crook. Lake and other sec tions comprising the territory which the league represents. It was very fortunate to arrange to nave tnese visitors uunng inn week when they will have an op portunity to see what this big country can produce. The pre mium list has been enlarged and will be most attractive to exhibitors- especially the dry farmers who have had an uphill struggle and who welcome tho new ex periment farm. to tho home.

Editok Tim TiMns-HniiALD In your issuo of July 16th you state petition of 0. S. Preston nnd others for change in road south from Weaver springs was denied becauso of no petition having been filed nnd affidavit defective. Now this is doing thq residents of Weaver Springs and Glonlock Bottleinenta a frank in justice. A copy of, tho petition was filed With tho county clerk also an affidavit stating that a copy of tho petition was posted at tho beginning of road petition ed for also ono in center and ono at its junction with tho Narrows and Weaver Springs road also ono posted nt tho Court House. On July Gth I personally went beforo tho court to urge our claims and to give any informa tion thoy might wish in regard to it. I was informed by the Court that tho law required that an affidavit bo filed stating where the petitions had been posted, nnd thnt wo having failed to do so Invalidated our petition, I as sured the Honornblo Court I had filed such a petition with tho clerk. Thoy got the papers and looked them over again and found tho affidavit and after ask ing mo several questions in re gard to the road, assured mo that they would order it viewed. Now Mr. Editor it seems incre dible to mo that tho Honorable Court would trick us in tho way you say after having given me tho assurance thnt they would order it viewed. The road asked for is only ten miles long nnd will give us an outlet to both Burns and Narrows. On the Narrows and Weaver Springs road every homesteader but two between Weaver Springs and the Narrows and Iron Mountain load have commuted and left their claims. At tho request cC A. McKcnzio wo asked for a dis continuance of tho Weaver Springs and Narrows road for a short distance nnd connect with our road a little farther south so there would not be a road on both sides of his Weaver Springs Innd nnd save the building of a small bridge, now there are 8 or 10 persons on this short piece of road that will put out from 80 to 2(Xnicres of grain this fall and wo will also build a school house. We want to make Permanent Improvements and can't tell where to plant trees or fix our lawns until we have established a road this is a new settlement only ono person having been hero quite threo years. Now, I challenge tho Honora ble Court to show us any place in Hnrney county whero as much has been done in so short a timo on so short a piece of road. Wc do not ask the county to do any grading all we 'ask is to es tablish tho road and give us the privilege of doing whnt little is necessary to put the road in shape for travel. Within tho last two years the settlers of Weaver Snrinirsnnd Glenlock have boiuiht $600 worth of plows nlono from Burns merchants, ought we not to havo an established road in stead of having to break a new ono through tho snge brush every timo a new rnncli is opened. Wo hope you have made a mistake, wo aro ldtho to think that the Honorable County Court would do us such rank injustice after all wo liave done to help develop the county. O. S. Pih:ston. Oregon Dry Fnrm Crops to be IMildllcd Tilman Reutar who has a farm on the plains between Madras and Culver Junction, central Oregon, will take a large exhibit of farm products to the Dry Farming congress to bo hold at Colorado Springs October 1(5-20. Mi.

Mr. Router captured tho big prizes at tho Dry Farming con gress held Inst year at Spokane in competition witli many other states and tho most remarkable Ccaturo of it all was that ho was practically tho only exhibitor from Oregon, and there on his own initiative at his own expen se. Ho also captured the Port land Commcrical club trophy nt this show, hands down. Mr. Rauter went into central Oregon less than half dozon years ago for tho purpose of sat isfying himself on tho possibili of tho soil there.

"I Collowed the trail of wheat back into the interior." said Mr. Renter in recalling the incident that made him an Oregonian, "and I made up tny mind to stay right there." Mr. Renter maintains a very representative exhibit at all times and shows grains, grasses, notaloes and even corn grown on his land, by tho application of dry farming methods. The Bam-' pies rival all the very best grown any where under moie favorable' conditions. ' Tho central Oregon exhibit is expected to attract more atten tion than any other at the com-1 ing Dry Farming congress nt I which Oreiron will have a largo delegation of representative men to be appointed by Governor West in co-opeation with the Portland Commercial club.
