Litera ture dealing with tho varied in dustries of Oregon is distributed freely. Particular oflbrla arc made to reach the farmers. The car, therefore, stops only at the small towns and avoids the cities. iA-'clures are given at nearly every station, the attendance al most invariably filling the hall. Stereoplicon slides illustrate the lectures of the Great Northern orators. Iist year KW.000 per sona passed through tho car and 20,500 heads of families register ed, while M.'JTiO heaid the lec tures. "More people, more dairymen, more hog-raisers, more poultry raisers, more fiuil-gtowers and more farmers," is the slogan of the Great Northocn's colonist movement. WIIV NOT TKY IT. The recent rabbit drive over between Harney and Cow Creek resulted in the destruction of some 1100 of the pests. Fred Delisted killed IfiO rabbits in one night and no doubt other far mers are doing some good work along the same line. While these methods seem quite etrective those who have experi mented with poisoned hay say it is still more satisfactory. The Times-Herald would suggest this means of destruction, at least give it a thorough test and watch results. This is ideal weather for such work as the feed is cov ered and rabbits will congiegate around the hay yards. It would not be expensive and with pro per organization in the different communities it would be practi cally nothing to each fnrmer as compared to the destruction wrought by these pest during a crop season. There's no use sitting around complaining when it is possible to help ourselves at' very little expense. It is too late to ask the county for aid for this win ter as the next meeting of the court is not until March, besides it will not require any great out lay of money to make a decided "killing" according to those who have tried tho poison. A little hay so enclosed as to keep stock from getting at it, properly sprinkled with the solution of poison, will rid a community of large numbers of labbits. Why not try itV The Times-Herald will assist in the expense of giv ing this a thorough test if the farmers will arrange for a Cen tral place to put tho hay and en close it. This paper will also print notices free of charge to post in tho vicinity calling atten tion to tho poisoned forage and cautioning people to watch alter their stock in order that thoy may not be poisomd. AT TONAWAAM. Tho Tonawama Stock Co. gave ita first production at Tonawama Theatre last Wednesday ovening to a very appreciative audience. Studebaker HcuU(uartora Trench Motel BURNS, Oregon "All A Mistake," a three-act comedy, was tho bill and kept those present convulsed with laughter from tho time thu cur tain went up. The stage effects were exceptionally fine and the house was complimented upon its thoroughness of stage equipment and tho reputation established at this production will bo a good advertisement for future enter tainments. Tho players came in for much congratulations from their friendsMrs. Kisk as "Aunt Cor nelia" and Mr. Salisbury as "Ferdy" making decided hita. The amusing situations and gen eral confusion caused by each plnyer suspecting the other to be crazy made the bill a very funny one. Mrs. Goodlow had some very difficult parts that she car ried off with credit. C. A. Har lan was the Country Gentle man and Carl Welker as the Young Lieutenant weie both up to their usual form of playing. U'o Chapin as the Irish Ser vant Girl caused much merri ment; Miss Swain, as always, was up to high standard in her part of the cast. Oia Hill sang a solo and re ceived a deserved and generous encore. The house was not filled by any means.but the recent quarantine and general sickness in the com munity had lis ollVct. The appreciation shown by those present is indicative, that in the fuluie the Tonawama btock Co. will play to full houses. The next play, billed for Jan uary 2(5, is a comedy-drama in four acta-"A Soldier's Sweet heart." It is a fine drama with some high class comedy that will surely please. It is a pretty love story with a good plot. Some exceptionally good spec ialities will be given between the acts. SNOW HOUND. A telegram received by Mr. Holland Wednesday morning announced that Mrs. Holland and her daughUr Gladys, Mrs. Millar and E. E. Purington were snow-bound in the Deschutes Canyon. The party left here last Saturday morning and reached Rend at (5 o'clock the same even and took tho train out the next morning but did not reach the Columbin. The train was stalled two nights and finally returned to Metolius where they were staying at a hotel at the expense of the Oregon Trunk. The mes sage stated there was 0 feet of snow and ! feet all along the Col umbia. commi:Kciai. cum niters.

Among tho changes made were the discontinuance of the month ly dues and reducing tho mem bership fee to $1.00. The executive committee was requested to take steps toward gottmg out somo descriptive literature for the advertising of this section! It is hoped that tho club will be kept active aa there will bo much for such an organization to do during the coming season. LOOKS I.IKI! HILL MOVE According to the Metolius paper it would appear that tho proposed branch lino Of railroad from tho Deschutes to Prineville will connect at Metolius and is evidently a 1 1 ill inovo although a Seattle firm is tho nominal head. This is indicated by the men who are actively nt work on tho lino as apparently they aro those closely connected with the work on tho Deschutes road when John F. Stevens was building it. Tho information given iatothe effect that construction work will begin on the lino this Benson. Nothing is said about extending tho lino further than Prineville.

The school board has closed a contract with Messrs. Bayles & McDonald for the new $30,000 public school building and every thing is in readiness for the be ginning of work as soon as wea ther conditions will permit. The contract calls for its completion Sept. 1. The original plan for heating was changed from hot ail' to steam. Wo understand the same firm will complete the entire stiucture. The plans and specifications submitted by Aic'hitect Elliott for bids called for moro or less outside material including eastern lath and local contractors so fig ured when making calculations on bids and found it impossible to como within tho estimate. This, wo are informed by Mr. Homestead Locations Empire Realty Company T. I l.srCH, Munatpr nml rilliiliU Wo luuullo nil r or I jmir liuul HIIiik puixrn or Sizernore, has been changed and local material will be used. Such change makes a material differ ence in the building and had others been given the privilege would have submitted bids Mr. Elliott may have acted with good intentions but it nevertheless looks like local contractors were not given a fair chance. How ever, the school board has a good bond and the building will no doubt be well constructed and satisfactory before being accepted. TWO CATTLE TENDENCIES Some interesting figures on the cattle business have been work ed out recently, showing that in 1910 there was not only a decrease in the actual number of beef cattle but that this country pos- ' . - . . ifeesseu lower dairy cows per ,,, ,. i:i capita than on any decennial ... . 1Q-n ,,.,.. Li'iiaua jtui uiitn iu ioiu, iiiiu we probably miss some enlight enment by not having figures on the other nine years of each de cade, the figures may safely be taken in a general way, as indi cating two things. In the first place the average production per cow must be on the increase, for the per capita consumption of butter is larger than it was ten , and twenty years ago. In the ; second place there appears to be Iiule imme(jjate Uanger 0f the times predicted overdoinff of dairying for a while. The , number of da, . the , , i,Mt!n(, ' COUntrV , -tendlly for ten years, it is true. b.ut !he total Increase in that time is only about 20 per cent. Meanwhile there has been a de crease of about seven per cent in all other cattle. These figures may mean that the next decade holds slightly more profit for beef cattle than for dairy cattle, but certainly there is no cause for over done, where right practices are in vogue. In 1870 each dairy cow was sunDOsed to nroduce milk, butter and crcam for 3,8 pe0ple; in 18S0 for 4 people; in 1890, for 3.9 peo- j pie; in 1900. for 4.5 people, and in 1910, change. for 5.1 people.
