MBB > HUSTON ’S IS THE PLACE A PUBLIC PARK FOR BURNS vacation. As a matter of fact, 1 HOW ABOUT SCHOOL HOUSE S SHOULD TAKE HOLD PROPOSITION. A PIMMK Spend Summer Afternoon« and Evtaiafs With the Band Bovs. Your tally or Your Sweetheart. It has been suggested that the people of our city take up the pro position of a public park of at least one bloek where a grove be planted and platted artistically with grass, shrubi, etc. Such a proposition ie worth serious consideratiqn and would be something worth atten tion and Oi»re. A nice public Bquare w/>u!d be a delight in a few years where celebrations and public gath erings could be held during the de- ligbtfulsummer months. The band boys need a nice stand where they could give us some nice open air concerts during the long evenings. It’s a good suggestion and shonld meet with popular approval. Let’s take it up at once. The matter of location would not be a hard one. The C. A. Sweek addition will soon be on the market if nothing happens. This is of courae not centrally located, but is nice level ground clear of rocks and brush, with an irrigation ditch for free use and where there is no ques tion about trees growing. Should Buch a move be taken up no doubt Mr. Sweek or other real estate men wpuid make good terms. Outside Teams do the Business. {■fhe Times-Herald has observed that a considerable amount of the fraiglit so far brought in this spring has been hauled by teams coming from the railroad, who have haul ed it in for 1 cent per pound and will take wool back. This ie a very Mod move on the part of firms at ^Kipping pointe who are anxious to get the handling of the wool clip _Bi<l it is correspondingly profitable tjb all concerned, perhape. The various business houses of Burns rkave secured their freight for from ■KB, 1 and in some instances one cent ■bheapi-r than had local teams gone out after the freight. Now if prices are reduced to the consumer to cor espond with cheaper freight it will [bean advantage to all. Our local ¡freighters tlaim they can do better ¡working at something else than one [cent freight. If this is a fact no tie is hurt. John Day and Haroey Valleys. Val- con- Hition just now. Litchfield, he well known traveller for Levi Strauss <fc Co., with their general north-west office in Baker City, has just returned from an extended tour through the country. He says that wool is going up and the ranges are looking splendidly. ; “I never saw the ranges in that part of the country so fine as they Jj are today. They area perfect em erald carpet extending clear up in to i he timber on the mountains making perfect parks. The crops I everywhere are magnificent. Wool sold the other day at 17 1-2 cents, two cents higher than it was last ■ year. Cattle are picking up and „ in sixty days will be in the pink of ■[condition. Sheep shearing is going Mon everywhere and the wool is he wing hauled to market. ‘‘General business is waiting It Rls the same there as every where ■else. Conditions are good and be- fore September 1st, there will be a lively and healthy business in every line all through Eastern Oregon. The fact that it ie a presidential year has heed discounted. I think it will be the beet year in a decade. Everybody is hopeful and they have a reason for it. When wool buyers are anxious and buy the clips before they are taken off the sheep’s back, you may know there is something doing. The seller it the king this time.”—Democrat. w rc< «Huit NO VACATION IN U VEAIS. was so glad to get a chance to learn business that the idea of asking my employer to make me a present of two weeks of the time that be longed to him would have been pre- posperous. Besides I was eager to advance in business. “Is it not absurd to suppose that a mao can in two weeks recuperate from the weariness of a year’s work? On the contrary, I have too often observed that men will while on their vacations make inroads upon their vitality and purses that can not be repaired in the following 11 months and two weeks. “A man should work ‘easy, be economical of his time, conserve his forces and not worry. It is worry and not work that makes the hair gray. If I had 1000 tougues I would preach ‘Save time’ with them all. Its infinitely more valuable than money.” To Build ■■ Immense Dam.

From appearances the taxpayers and patrons of this school district have forgotten that something must be done before th? beginning of the coming school year in the way of repairing the present build ing or errecting a new one. The Times-Herald will not make an expression upon the matter of new building or otherwise. Opin ions differ very much as to the ad visability of rebonditjg for a new building or repair the present' one. Fact is we must do something and that at once. The voters should at least get together and make some move toward releiving the present situation as there is none too much time to make the changes necessary. The Times-Herald is not well enough informed to give the exact condition of this district financial- ly, but some assert we are in no position to rebond and erect an ex pensive building. Others urge the necessity of a larger and more sub stantial school house i nd consider it unwise to use a very large amount of money to .-epair ths present building and put it in shape for oc- cuyency when it would be necessary in the near future—if not at present —to build a larger one to meet re quirements.
