Oue Yeai Six Mouths Three Months .. |2.00 ................ i.oo ...........................75 Manager There seems to have been a large silent vote on county high school. The prohibition ticket didn’t get a very flattering vote in this county. The Times-Herald suggests we take up something along the line of developing Harney county and leave politics alone for the pi esent. Burns precinct went local op tion and if the proposition has ea 1- ried in other parts of the state the candidates two years hence may not have very big bar bills to set tle. With bacon, ham and lard at prevailing prices there is no rea son why some one should not make a fortune in the hog busi ness in Harney valley. They don’t need any great amount of grain feed if they have a nice al falfa pasture on which to run and taken up at the proper time and fattened. A dairy would work well in connection with such busi- ness and make money for the man that looks after it. respect of a large number of con servative voters, says the Boise Capital News. Fusion with the radical elements of the populist party, as well as the adoption of socialistic ideas in ordei to catch votes, has almost destroyed a par ty organization that withstood all assaults from the outside, and gradually grow stronger in spite of thirty years of almost constant defeat. All parties were wont to reaper. t the democracy up to eight years ago because of its unfalter ing adherence to the basic princi ples of popular government. Now especially in the west, it is more like a mob than an organization, led by extremists and ready to forget it® self respect in a wild scramble for votes upon any fleet ing issue, no matter how perni cious. Oregon democrats came to their senses two years ago, repudiated fusion, and elected a governor on a straight democratic ticket, and although in a minority in the state, has a strong fighting organization that will stand pat and make it self felt in future campaigns. The result of the election last Monday shows plainly that Har ney county has become too big to be handled by bosses. The people made their choice regard less of the self styled leaders who made such foolish assertions, The voters cast their ballots to suit them selves. The Oregonian now says Reed and Scott, the defeated republi can candidates for district attorney and sheriff of Multnomah county, were not the men that should have been nominated anyway. Its valuable advice in the matter came too late. Only the morning of the election that paper made quite the opposite assertions.

Now that election is over The 'Times-1 lei aid would suggest that we do not tight it all over again, hut turn our attention to future work for the interests of Harney county. A majority of the voters have expressed themselves as to their choice and while there are none of us whooly satisfied with the result, we must take it just the same. Harney county has a fine set of officers to look after the various offices for the next two years’ regardless of their political belief, so I lie people need have no misgivings. Traveling musical mendicants are frequent in Baker City. Two recent ones were young girls. Washington county strawberry raisers claim that their berries beat even those of Hood River.

Injustice to the people who have always spent the Fourth of July with us we should be doing something toward a celebration. Burns has never yet failed to make some preparation for the entertain ment of the people of Harney county on that day and since it has become the custom why no. keep it up? We have always been backward about arranging a program and The Times- Herald hopes the matter will be taken up immediate ly and plans perfected for a good rousing time. There is no use in saying we will not celebrate for we will and the sooner we get at it the better. We cannot expect our Canyon City friends to participate in our our sportB this year as Canyon is going to make the Eagle scream long and loud and our atheletes are sorry they connot accept the invi tation to join them. What’s the matter with asking Harney to come over and play ball, have some foot races, play tennis, basket ball the usual greased pig. greased pole, etc. and end up with one of those popu lar dances that the Band Boys always give. A parade in the fore noon participated in by the fire department, social organization and floates representing the var ious business houses could be made a most interesting feature and would be a credit. This is a mat ter in which we are all interested and it should not develope upon a few to make it a success. The Times-Herald male quartett would be willing to 1 holler itself noarse” on National hymn and patriotic music. The Burns Band is ready with quicksteps to rouse the sleepy citizen io action, so lets get ii nto the people of this county an old I time, social good time again.
