The Indians have more or less land matters to take care of and Mr. Farre will look after their in terests well. J. L Hopper, who was down from Silvies this week on busi ness, informs The Times-Herald that there is not as much snow in that section as usual. He and his brother have been working in the timber on the high moun tains bordering Silvies Valley all winter and find the snow not more than half as deep as in the ordinary yeurs.

Equinoctial storms have been giving this section the appear ance of real winter during the past week. It doesn't seem much like Easter time when one views the flurry of Bnow. Fred Otley and C. A. Spurlock were in the first of the week on business connected with the con demnation suit brought by the railroad for right of way through their lands. K. I). Cooper has been promot ed. He has been in the civil en gineer business but has now tak en up the catling or a farmer. having left Thursday for his farm on Silver creek where he will be engaged in improving the place. The Times-Herald learns that the man wanted for stock steal ing who escaped from a deputy sherifF of Crook county recently in the southern part of this coun ty, has been caught in Nevada and the authorities from Crook have gone after him. C. W. Linebaugh. a post office inspector, has been in this sec tion during the week. We under stand the gentleman is in on spe cial business and has no authority to take up our complaint respect ing the service between here and Canyon. The Times-Herald is informed that W. W. Gould, who has been deputy under Post Master Log gan here for a long time, is going to Vale to act as agent for It. J. McKinnon & Son when they start the operation of their stage line. Will is a fine young man and his selection was certainly fortunate for Mr. McKinnon and the patrons of the line. Frank Fister was in town this week on business connected with the suit for railroad right of way over his land in Crane Creek canyon. Mr. Fister thinks the matter can be adjusted without going into court, as he is willing to settle on a basis of what has boen paid his neighbors for right of way, although his place is cut in two and all the water would be fenced off by the railroad, leaving it most inconvenient so far as stock purposes are concern ed. Julian Byrd, who has had the greater port inn of the town clock' fund us trustee, has received a proposition from the Presbyterian church building committee to the effect that the committee pledges its to build a clock tower on the church and furnish whatever bal ance is needed to get a good four dial striking clock. It was origin ally intended to place the town clock on the court house but as the building of a new court house is not considered in the immedi ate future and as the church is to be a modern structure, centrally located on high ground, he is in clined to accept the proposition unless some valid reason is brought to his attention why it should not be thus disposed of. He is tired of being responsible for the fund and as we greatly need a uniform time in Burns it will be a convenience to all. Fred Hereth was up from Nar rows this week.

James Weston has accepted a position with the First National Bank of this city. He will as sume active work the first of next month but is now familiar izing himself with his duties. The biennial crop pest and hor ticultural report of the Oregon Agricultural College has reached this office. It is a valuable pub lication that farmers and fruit raisers should have and will be sent on application. Dr. Harrison removed the toes from both feet of an old gentle man by the name of Johnson the first of the week. The old man had his feet frozen sometime ago and was brought here from Crowley recently. J. T. DeGork, the tailor con nected with the Williams-Zogl-mann clothing establishment, has been up to his farm for sometime and has just completed improve ments. Mrs. DeGork is making her home there all the time. ak& people returning from outside points where they have been for a period state there will be a great influx of homeseakers and invoBtors in this country dur ing the present spring. They an ticipate greater activity in Har ney Valley than has ever been witnessed before. Mrs. P. M. Cheney and daugh ter Tillie arrived here last Satur day from North Yakima and the family will at once begin house keeping in this city. Both are in the best of health and their many friends were pleased to welcome them back home. The county has another board er, making six in all now being cared for by Sheriff Richardson. The latest arrival is Thos. Mur ray who was brought over from Alberson yesterday by Harry Clendenen. He is accused of en tering the post office at that place and rifling the till of money. "Farmer" C. B. McConnell of Burns, is reported by a Portland paper as being present at the meeting last Saturday held at the Commercial Club in that city to further the extension work of the Agricultural College made possible by the passage of legis lation of the recent session just closed. '' Bert Bower and family have gone to Harney to remain for a time. Their little son is not in robust health and his physician has advised he quit school for a time and recouperate. Bert thought by taking him out now and allowing him to rough it until the fall term that he might avoid losing an entire school year. The Wm. Carrol benefit recit al by Mrs. Dodge and her asso ciates at Tonawama on next Thursday night, March 27, will begin promptly at 7:30. This is done on account of several small pupils who take part and it is de sired to have the entire program over as early as possible. The admission price is only 25 cents, mere trifle, but was placed at that figure in order that a large number might be thus able to contribute toward the fund for Mr. Carroll. Every 26 cent piece will help and it is hoped to see a large attendance. The program will be moat entertaining as there are some fine numbers. The big orchestra numbers at the begin ning of the program will be par ticularly pleasing as there will be more violins than has ever been heard in an orchestra before in Burns Rodney Cozad is over from Canyon City. Geo. Cobb is suffering from a broken thumb. Wanted A few milk Customers.- Inquire at this office. I'.Hf C. W. Hill and W. A. Helt oi Twin Falls are registered at the French Hotel.

A spring noet wouldn't get much inspiration from the wea ther of yesterday. According to the Winnemuccn Star, Chester Smith, formerly of this place, is in the opera house business down there. Dr. L. G. Holland, recently from Walla Walla, has decided to open an office in Burns and prac tice his profession. His card ap pears in this issue. The Portland Sunday papers which should have reached us lust Tuesday arrived last night. This gives one an idea of the mail service we are now "enjoy ing?" R. J. McKinnon & Son have purchased some of the horses and equipment formerly used by the Kellogg stage with which to assist in stocking up for their line between here and Vale. "A Beast at Bay" is one of the moat thrilling pictures ever pro duced at Tonawama. An exciting race between an auto and railroad engine furnishes some very tense moments. It will be seen tomor row night. A band of 175 beef cattle were driven through Canyon City Tues day en route for Prairie City from where they will be shipped to the Portland market. They were driven from Harney county, a distance of 86 miles and be longed to Wm. Hanley. Eagle. While delivering cattle last Monday to Phil Smith, Wm. Dunn met with a painful accident as a result he is in town sintering from a badly broken and dislocat ed shoulder. Mr. Smith had thrown down a long wire gate to allow some of the cattle to pass out but the entire bunch started to getaway and Mr. Dunn started to head them. He ran his horse to the opening and in turning to start quickly in an other direction he did not notice that one of the horse's feet had caught in the wire lying on the ground and when he came to the end of it the horse was thrown violently to the ground throwing his rider very hard on his shoul der. The fall stunned Mr. Dunn somewhat but when he finally became conscious he could move his arm and it was thought it was not badly injured. An ex amination by the doctor, how ever, proved it quite serious. We have many big friends among our small depositors.

It is one of the best pictures ever seen in Burns. A convict compels a young lady to aid him to escape in her auto and the officers pursue in a rail road engine. It is a race full of thrills to the final capture of the desperado. Wednesday night: "When the Heart Calls" is a pretty Indian picture so popular with Tona wama patrons; "Drummer Girl of Vicksburg" is a realistic war story full of patriotism and sure to please; "Very Much Engaged" is a ripping comedy.
