Sitz came up from Lawen Tuesday and spent several i(I |M days in our city Interviewing his ing before that body. Representative Sitz purposes leaving soon after tbe date of the meeting here for Malheur county where he will interview the people of that section as to their needs. Much annoyance and anxiety are prevented by tbe meeting with the people and taking up the ques tions before going to Salem. Here tofore things have been sprung at tbe last moment and rushed through the legislature or turned down that haye caused dissatisfac tion. If tbe taxpayers desire the sala ries of certain county officers in creased they should say so. This is a matter purely local and there is no question but a bill of this nature could be passed so long as the people of Harney county foot the bills. The same may be said of the city charter. If the people of Burns desire changes they can have them for the asking. These matters will be brought up at tbe meeting along with proposed stock laws and should have the consideration of all our people.
