., The .Burns, Times-Herald replies
to the letter from Fred Otley which
appeared In the East Orcgonlan this
week In answer to a descriptive let
ter from C. C. Conner, of Helix, on
Harney county. Mr. Otley denied
thnt Harney county Is a, good wheat
or farming country and the Tlmes
Hcrald says In reply: i1 .
Fred Otley appears much conr
cerncd and. ery solicitous of the
poor deluded people who have been
persuaded to ccme to this valley for
the put pane of making their homes
and engaging In diversified farming.
He -wondors where Mr. Conner got
his Information and what he was
paid for "writing up this seml-arld re
gion."
Ry the same token It might not be
junslderod Impertinent to ask Mr.
Otley If ho expects or Is rewarded for
trying to-discourage the settlement
and development of this big valley-
Mr. Otley's protest-falls rather flat
in the face Of the real evidence that
this great section Is particularly
Klapti-d to the growing of all ce
reals Vi 8, nnd rruit loo. J nis is i
fact that any one must admit after
ring the products exhibited at the
last nnnual county fair or has visited
number of the farms and orchards
of this county.
We are now getting a class of peo
pie In thlp valley that fully under
stand what they are about and feel
confident of success. And why not?
Thev know of sections not nearly so
fortunate ns this In altitude, climate.
noil or precipitation, where profitable
crops are raised annually In fact.
considered among the best farming
sections of the United States.
Thcv have not been received in any
respect, but on the contrary, will
give thii old settler "yards and
r.pt.de" and Increase the value of his
property, as well as the general
wealth of the "county, 'by farming as
tl -should be-ilone, in a practical.
scientific and successful manner.
Every . pioineatityjj wrtlnn has, a
few men like Mr. Otley, honest no
douht, but who fall to open their
eyes, appreciate or realize tne great
opportunities of their immediate
community. Mr. Otley's protest will
not stop the Influx of homeseekers
or change the opinion of those who
understand soli and know its value.

Then comes the coBt of printing and

$3000; cost of paper, printing and

as required by law, $5000 more, to
say nothing of the cost of printing

last must be paid by the individuals
or associations furnishing the same,
which will amount to $5000, or an ag
gregate of $23,000, calculating upon
the most conservative margin that can
be figured upon the basis of the sta
tistics obtained from the office of the
secretary of state.

to You
Remember you are not
building for A few years, but
probably for a lifetime. It
costs no more to have your
home planned and built artis

arranged and lasting than It
docs to simply have a place
in which to live.
