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.

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

The fact that it ie a presidential

it will be the beet year in a decade.
Everybody is hopeful and they
have a reason for it. When wool

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.”

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. Patrons
look into
this matter.

One day last week a sheep herd­
er, who was herding the Sherlock
sheep on Antelope flat, developed a
cue of “stage fright” from the sight
of some cowboys who were riding
the range and took for the brush,
deliberately leaving the sheep to
run at large. He was seen a few
day« later at Klamath marsh head­ !|i
ed toward Klamath Falls at a two- >»
forty gait. Dick Sherlock arrived
on the scene three days after the
herder disappeared and found the
sheep badly scattered but after con­
siderable riding managed to gather
the sheep without any loss—Cen­
