DISTRICT HARNEY VALLEY Will Irrigate 40,000 Acres Near Burns To Form District and Issue Bonds at Once. C. B. McConnell returned yesterday from an extended trip to Chicago and other eastern points and reports that the financial end of the irrigation dis trict for Harney valley is forthcoming as soon as the district can be organiz ed and bonds issued. This district which will cover ap proximately 40,000 acres of new and undeveloped land and 40,000 acres al ready partiaUy cultivated lies imme diately tributary to Burns and in cludes some of the richest lands in the state. The project when complet ed will be one of the largest in the state. The large acreage of new land that will be brought under cultivation will add more than any one thing to the wealth of Harney county. -Burns Tribune. Nyssa Talks Paving. An informal gathering of the coun- cilmen and a few spectators was held on Wednesday evening to talk over plans for what work should be done in the way of street repair during the coming year. Mayor Wilson had com municated with the Portland Cement Association for the purpose of obtain ing authentic information and figures in regard to concrete street paving, both as to cost of laying the paving jnd as to cost of upkeep, and to have comparisons made between the costs of such paved streets and dirt roads, trom the figures made by Mayor ivilson the annual cost to construct aved streets over two miles of streets 'y paying the cost in annual install nents, would be less than i3 now paid out each year for the repair of the dirt streets or roads. Mr. Snlzman stated that his figures were higher than Mayor Wilson's figures, but that he was figuring from the Engineer's standpoint, which was to always make the estimates higher than the c tractor's charges or bids. In the general discussion by the council it was decided to receive these estimates to be furnished and after giving them consideration to call meeting to be attended by the people of the town so that all might gain some knowledge of the cost of having a permanent good street, as against the cost of having only a dirt road with mud holes to be repaired every year. We look forward to this meeting with hopes and trust that when it is held that the people will turn out and pass judgment on- what they have heard at such meeting. Nyssa Jour nal. New Road Posted. We understand that notices have been posted for the road to the "Hole in the Ground" and that the County Court will act on same at the next session. Here's hoping she goes through. Juntura Times.

At the regular meeting of the Par ma school board held Monday tho board took up tho important business .of awarding contracts for the build ing of the new high school to be erected immediately upon tho Fouch site of 10 acres situated on Fifth street one block north of Curtis ave nue. It was with much satisfaction that tho board was able, to award the building contract to, a local man, a bid of $16,309 submitted by Wm. Mc Coy, of Parma, being the lowest bid received by the .board. This is exclu sive of plumbing and wiring, but oth erwise completes the building. The plumbing bid was awarded tho Unit ed States Plumbing & Heating com pany. They were represented by L. G. Olsen, of Ontario, whose bid was $3,405. Mr. McCoy's contract makes probable a completed building ready for occupancy by Sept. 1. Mr. McCoy has let the brick work to B. W.

If ! 1 An electric range is always in season since, when tlje sum mer heat is gone, the sanitary and labor saving qualities of electricity still remain as advan tages over other cooking meth ods. A few of the good points of electric cooking thut will appeal to the housewife are as folows: 1. Safe No matches or flame to cause fire or explosion. 2. Clean No blackened walls or cooking utensils, soot or smoke. 3. Sanitary No dirt is caus ed by fuel, no poisonous vapors given off. The air remains pure and its oxy gen undiminished. 4. Easy to regulate and cer tain in temperature. A poor cook will do better work with an electric range and good cooks will excel themselves. 5. Electric cooking is not ex pensive. With intelligent care electricity, at the cooking rates given by Vale Electric Co., com pares favorably with oth er fuels. The electric range is particu larly economical of current ow ing to its efficient heating units and superior insulation. In ad dition ft is simplo and sturdy in construction and comes in do signs to fit evisry requirement. The Vale Electric Company 1 Eugene bus raised $50,000 for a flax scutching mill.
