William Hanley of Burns, pres

an appropriation of '$750 during 'ms. he,,(! ?J Astoria ,ast week
ion o,i 57rn iqio fn I arrived in Madras Friday evenim
the establishment and mainten
ance of a dry farming station,
but desires to take under advise
ment the question of an estab
lishment of a station devoted to
irrigation problems.
Judge Ellis takes the stand
that in view of the apparent uni
versal demand and need of both
stations for the proper and intel
ligent direction of settlers, pres
ent and prospective, the county
is warranted in indicating its
willingness to contribute the sum
asked for in establishing both
stations, including numerous sub
stations, provided $7000 is con
tributed toward the same pur
pose from other sources.
Thereupon court adjourned
subject to call.
A well known Dos Moines woman after
suffering miserably for two days from
bowel complaint, was cured by- one dose
of Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diar
rhoea Remedy. For mile by M. E, Snook.
Friday evening
on his way home. He was met
at the end of the Deschutes rail
road by his son, who was driving
Mr. Hanley's auto.
Mr. Hanley says that plans
are being made for one of the
largest development meetings in
the state, and that Burns, Harney
county, plans to break all hogpi
tality records at the convention
of the Central Oregon Develop
ment league, October 2 and 3.
All the guests attending the
convention via Prairie Citv and
Vale, will be met at those rail
way terminals by automobiles
and taken across country to Burns
without charge. There is no
limit to the number who are to
be accommodated in this manner
and the ingenuity of the RnrnH
business element is pledged to
the duty of handling all who
come.
Auto excursions have been
planned by the Development
league management from all
parts of the state to Burns for
the October convention. One
big party will go up the Des
chutes Canyon, stopping over at
different towns in the Deschutes
Valley and proceeding thence to
Burns on the most direct line.
Another party will go over the
old Santiam Pass road, across
the Cascades from Portland, cov
ering the entire distance by auto.
Still another auto party is pledged
to go from Eugene up the Mac
kenzie, across the Cascades, and
thence direct to Burns. Medford
has agreed to send an automobile
crowd out over the new Crater
Lake road, via Crescent, Silver
Lake and across country to
Burns.
Secretary J. E. Sawhill of the
Central Oregon league, and Sec
retary Chapman of the Oregon
Development league, were in
conference several days last week
