Hunter of Bend made an excellent talk on oc-operation. Mr. Hunter is one of the most energetic and practical boosters in the interior and his ndvice alone? these lines is always sound. He emphasized the importance of the entire interior working in harmony, standing together with the railroads, the government and every interest having for its purpose tho upbuilding of Cen tral Oregon. Mr. Hunter pro posed a resolution to be adopted by tho League to call an irriga tion convention having for its purpose placing tho Cary Act companies on a business basis in order to be a real benefit to the state. As they are now it is a farco and a detriment. Miss Louol Smith sang a solo and responded to a hearty en core. Judge Worden of Klamath sug gested that all the counties com nosinir the Central Oregon De velopment League go together and get out a general booklet of advertising. State Land Agent Rinehart C. C. CHAPMAN, The Oregon Booster." 'All presented tho greetings of Gov. West who was unable to be pres ent. Mr. Rinehart gave a good talk that was thoroughly appre ciated. He said We needed to get busy on good roads and sug gested "Peg Leg Dutch" people herc'to get best results people who were not afraid to work. Phil Bates was on the program for a good roads talk but tho ma chine was "putout of business by Rinehnrt's talk" as Bates put it, ho was unable to give his illus trated lecture. It was given Tuesday evening at tho U'o theater between and 7 o clock. MORNING SESSION Tho particular feature of this Tuesday's session was tho pledg ing of sufficient support to assure tho establishment of experiment stations in Contral Oregon at once. W. E. Comnn, Gen. Pass. Agt. nf tlin Ornfrnn Trunk, wns Rllb- stituted for Mr. Gray on tho pro gram pledged Ins railroad 10 itnn for this mirnosc. R. B. Miller of tho Harriman system pledged a like Bum. The con ditions are that $10,000 bo raised to carry on this work until tho meeting of tho Oregon legislature to provide permanent support. Tho stations are to bo under tho chargo of the agricultural college and tho railroad systems will pro vlilnSRnno. Central Orecon J.V 000 and Portland $2,000. This has been assured and is one oi tho great things accomplished by tho Contral Oregon Development League. R. B. Miller of tho Harriman system spoko on "Better Farm Methods." F. A. Freeman, cashier of tho Lumbermen Na tional Bank, "Banks, Bankers and Development i " O. C. Loiter of tho Oregonian, "Country Nowspaper Publicity and country Correspondents." i liiiiiiiiiH D. O. Lively, of the Union Slock Ynrds, "Hogs, More of Them." Tho Times-Herald will dovotc spaco to nil these subjects lator as it hasn't spaco in this issue for dcloils. At tho noon luncheon a most enjoyable and profitable hour was spent. Tho secretaries of tho various committccsspokeof their experienco in handling corres pondence, reaching intending in vestors and results. Among tho speakers were Mr. Oliver of Klamath, Mr. Rice of Lakevicw, Mayor Jones of Redmond, T. M. Baldwin of Prineville. Mr. Mc Murray of tho Harriman railroad system made one of the most tell ing talks when called upon at luncheon. He is completely car ried away with this big country and said ho wanted to spend two or three weeks here. "No hook'', magazines, newspapers or anv other mode of advertising can tell about this magnificient coun try," said Mr. McMurray. I? pledged the system ho represents to the support of Central Oregon. Every means of publicity tho.v have is to be focused on this sec tion. They arc ready. He re grets the apparent lack of inter est in tho communities where in quiries are received. A general letter to be sent out in response to these inquiries "don't go" with him. Every letter should have personal attention and fol lowed up if necessary. Mr. Johnson, chairman of the executive committee of the Port land Commercial Club assured us of the deep interest that city has in tho development of this sec tion. "Portland stands for tho upbuilding of all Oregon" said Mr. Johnson, "and wo are your to command." Immediately following the luncheon the school children marched down to main street, headed by the band, and escort ed tho league delegates to the court house. Marshall N. Dana, of tho Port land Journal, at this afternoon's session in some well chosen, re marks struck a keynote that has future possibilities of consider able import. Among them ho suggested that for tho larger development of Oregon's te sources the Leagues appoint from among their membership and several localities men repre sentative of the agricultural, in dustrial, mercantile, manufactur ing and stock rai -inr pui.-u t-. for the purpose of holdir" or- CARL R. GRAY President of S P. & S. R. Ry. ferences and then hrhn their suggestions and enuehiMons to these conventions with a view of dovcloping tho larger interests thus securing to the local the best possible roturns thus obviat ing an attempt at developing hit an-miss fashion, locality for lo cality, individual for individual, and never attaining anything definite. Tho boosters turned school lu, s for a timo yesterday afternoon when they joined tho procession of tho public school at Schwartz's corner and gallantly marched down main street, apparantly as hnppy as a boy with his first pair of red toil boots, they continued iho march following tho childron in a circular counter march around tho band. Thero again tho boost ers showed that tho Oregon cli mato is condueivo of youth for they wero able to form a lino of lock steppers, that would bring envy to men that had had oppor tunities for much more practice. After tho grand march and swing nround tho circlo ono of tho visit ors delivered a very brilliant ad dress upon tho public school sys tem. During His remarks he took opportunily to praise tho appear ance and efficienoy of the local schools. , Tho af tornoon session was to bo given entirely to tho topic of "Good Roads," but two very im portant numbers that were left from tho morning session were given first place. Hon. I. S. Gecr, our fellow townsmen, lead oil , with an address on "How it was' done in Ilnrney County." His talk was good, he using many practical illustrations, telling how thoso that had como in and made a farm go and in many cases they were not M'cg leggeu uutcn either.

G, W. Bower, of Redmond, vica?prosident of the Central Orogbn Development League, dollvercd a vfery able address on tho necessity of building good roads "for tomorrow." W. Lair Thompson followed with a telling talk on "Legisla tive needs of Central Oregon." His speech was a scorcher and ho brought many truths so close home we could but admire his grit, patriotism and good snsc. He advocated approved publicity telling the truths about our coun try and that under the approval and trial of the Agricultural Col lege. He said a committee of one representative from each EMPIRE BUILDER" In Spirit" count;, should be gotten together and decide how many experi mental stations are needed, then go and work to get them. Marshall N. Dana in fitting .words told us about "Links in J. W. McCulloch, tho optimist of Ontario, told us what we might expect in the way of co operation from the Commercial , Club and the good citizens of thnt place. The Tunes-Herald has not space ' to de ote to the resolutions adopt ed but these will appear in the weeklj issue. Klamath Falls wanted the next meeting but gracefully gave way to Lakeview where tho next meet ing will be held. Tho best of feeling prevailed throughout and rything was harmonious. Tho only regret is the shortness of the it made necessary by the cele bration at Bend. The peoplo of Burns feel very kindly toward Bend and although wo regret that tho many visitors could not so the fine display of products in tno pavilion and somo oi our une stock wo wish them to know that wt-iwi uwiuu-u . im.

Tho crowning feature of this big meeting was the banquet tendered at Lochor's hall last evening under the skillful man agement of the ladies of Burns. Nothing was left undone that could add to the affair within the reach of our little city. All the available space was filled with tables and our ladies served well. It was an affair of which we are pr'Ud and one that brought forth appreciative remarks from our visitors. Dr. W. L. Marsden acted as toaslmaater in his accustomed pleasing way with appropriate remarks at the opening. Sever al musical nmn.bej-8 were render ed at the beginning, first a big chorus. This was followed by a fine solo by Mrs. J. L. Gault ac- er.mpanied by Mrs. G. A. Item- bold at the piano and Mrs. M. V. Dod're on the violin, A violin olo by C. A. Korten; a vocal solo by Mrs. McIIose; a selection by the ladies quartet. All num bers were roundly applauded and encored. Toasts were responded to by W. A. Williams, the insurance V. L. Snelling of Lakeview, L. Allen Lewis of Portland; J. J. Donegan; Wm. McMurray of the Harriman system; W. Lair Thompson, of Lakewiew; Frank Davey; Dr. Coe, of Bend; Wm. Hanlcy, C. C. Chapman. These were good every one of them. Mr. Snelling is a diamond in the rough and was a great surprise in his wit. The eloquence of Mr. Williams was certainly appreciat ed. The earnest talk of Mr. McMurray, his splendid tribute to the work of the Development League and his message from Portland business men who were not able to come wero highly pleasing to the home people. The invitation of Dr. Coe to come to Bend for the railroad celebra tion also pleased and we only re gret that more of our people could not avail themselves of the opportunity. Mr. Chapman's tribute to the silent workers and his sincere expressions of appreciation of the hospitality of Burns repaid e- r L. W. HILL, I -Went of The Great Northern Railway. i all the trouble our good people especially the ladies wenT to in providing for our guests. The Times-Herald feols good about it - for Burns has made good beyond a doubt. It was a success that's all. Here is a woman who speaks from personal knowledge and long experience, viz., Mrs. P. II. Brognn, of Wilson, Pa., who says, "I know from experienc? that Chamberlain's Cough Remedy is far superior to any other. Fori croup there is nothing that excels it.", For salo by all dealers. , We think that tho farmers are right in raising good horses. It costs no more to raise those of good quality than poor ones, then ' you have something thnt is suita ble for your own use, or to com- 1 mand good prices in the markets, A. A. ii:ur , Secretary ami Notary Public POTENTIAL CITV. DaNA, Oregon Journal, Portland From the Tuesday Evening Daily This is Get-Together-Day in Oregon. The red blood of Kla- math, Lakeview, of Portland has come to meet the red blood of Bunns, of Harney county, and; joining forces, has formulated the most practical development plan ever known to Oregon. The day has produced pledges of the people, of the Hill and Harriman railroad systems, to raise money enough for establish ing two Central Oregon experi ment stations and to maintain them until the state recognizes its obligation to perform this tre mendous service by a sufficient legislative appropriation to meet the demand for soil education for all time. Harmnnv notes have been ringing out like joy bells. A. knell has sounded for petty! sectional jealousies. The spirit underlying all expressions is that no person or community ha3 any right to criticise any other per son or community unless the sin cere intention is to make it bet ter for all. What do we of Portland think of Burns? We think it the potential city of a great agricultural communi ty to be. The hospitality, the energy, the hope of Harney's people are amazing and delight fulthe foundation of a magni ficent future. We are glad that storm and distance did not turn us back on the long road. There will al ways hereafter be the sense of warm, personal acquaintance, relationship and interest, This is a prediction-The auto - mobile train that brought the' transportation and commercial interests of the outside world will unfailingly soon be followed by the steel highway, the rail road. The world with its tremendous interests is reaching out toward Harney because of what Harney has done. Lot the people e: Burns continue to get ready for the new era. The long wait is nearly over. Seeing is believing, and, see ing, faith in interior Oregon is redoubled. The expression of that faith will be investment and railroad building an unbreaka ble link between the world and Harney county. SEEN AROUND THE PAVILION. The Drewsey exhibit (at the right of the entrance door at the paullion) is a dandy.

Some attempt has been made in the fruit line and the melons and other fruit ex hibited speak for the success of the venture. However, this sec tion seems especially adapted for grain, the grains shown arc of good quality and abundant yield. The grass exhibit of James H. Anderson is a marvelous one; his alfalfa, bromos, rye, wheat and native grasses are worthy of the greatest consideration. Walk down the west side of the pavilion annex and see the dry farming exhibit of field peas, wheat, rye, barley, alfalfa, alsac, red top and many other things of like nature .
