Some of the hustlers of Ilarnoy
county aro planning for the or
ganization of an Inland Empire
League, consisting of representa
tives of the interior from Prine
villo to Boise, and which will look
after the publicity and other in
terests of the territory. The
proposition will be put into shape
at an early date and membership
solicited. The similarity of con
ditions in every part of the In
land Empire will make an organ
ization which should prove elec
tive politically as well as in other
directions. Ontario Argus.
We would inform the Argus
that we have formed just such
an organization as is suggested
in the above paragraph. The
Burns Commercial Club is ready
to co-operate with similar organ
izations at Boise, Ontario, Vale
Prineville, Bend, Portland, Coos
Bay or New York. It is big
enough to take part in anything
that will bring about the early
development of Interior and
Southeastern Oregon and is will
ing to act with any or all on a
common ground. It is not the
purpose of the Burns Commer
cial Club to exploit Burns alone,
but the entire undeveloped and
neglected part of this vast em
pire. The membership of this
club are a class of men that can
see the possibilities of this inter
ior section and realize that its
development is tho material ad
vancement of Burns and Harney
County the hub. Neighboring
organizations will ever find a
warm response from this organ
ization for anything that jwill
better the conditions of the In
land Empire without reference
to locality or nature. Wo are
entirely unselfish in this move
ment and desire to be really be
neficial to all of Southeastern
and Central Oregon particularly
in the way of bringing its re
sources to the attention of those
who are in a position to bring us
the relief most necessary that
of transportation.
CLUBS WILL CONSOLIDATE
Last Tuesday evening" was tho
date sot for the annual meeting
and election of the Burns Athle
tic club, but the election of the
officers of that club, was deferr
ed pending a proposition consoli
dating with the Commercial Club
and a committee consisting of P.
T. Randall, C. W. Ellis and Henry
Dalton was appointed to confer
with a like committee from the
Commercial Club to arrange plans
to tha't end.
The Commercial Club met on
Wednesday evening and appoint
ed as its committee for that pur
pose Dr. J. W. Geary, G. A.
Rembold and J. J. Donegan.
The committees met last night
and everything arranged so that
all now necessary is the ratifica
tion of each club which will go
through without a hitch.
The Commercial Club meeting
last Wednesday evening was an
other one of those love feasts
where the spirit of promotion
was the first in the minds of all.
Several matters of particular in
terest were discussed. Among
other things was the dry-land
experiment farm. Plans were
more definitely arranged looking
to securing tho station.
The prososed resolutions urg
ing our congressional delegation
to favor the Mondell dry farm
bill was discussed but as the
committee had not put the reso
lutions in form it was suggested
that the matter be laid over for
the time. In view of the gener
al impression that the Mondell
bill will not pass congress in its
present form with tho Smoot
amendment several have in mind
the submission of an amendment
to our present desert land laws
which will give the semi-arid re
gions practically the same law as
embodied in the Mondell bill.
There is a general feeling that
the pro,ent desert law should bo
cha- ,cd and such being the sen
timi .it with congross it is believ
ed this proposed measure will
stand some chance of passing.
Among the changes proposed in
this law is tho striking out that
clause making it compulsory for
applicants be residents of the
stato in which the land is located
and further giving tho applicant
the privilege of rcclaing tho
land either by a system of irriga
tion or by scientific dry farming
methods, so long as the soil in
made to produce successful crops
of at least a stated merchantable
amount. Tho suggestions along
wore given marked considera
tion. Julian Byrd asked to be re
lieved of tho duties of being a
member of tho executive board
of the club pleading lack of time
to give it proper attention. His
resignation was nccepod and Dr.
L. E. Ilibbard was elected to fill
tho vacancy.
Several now members were
added to the membership roll and
a genoral interest shown in tl
work of tho club. Another, meet
ing was called for next Tuesday
evoningatlho club roomsat which
time Addison Bennett, one of tho
enthusiastic "boosters" of unde
veloped Oregon will bo prosont.

It was tho good fortune of tho
writer, .upon invitation, to be
present at tho annual congrega
tional meeting of tho Presbyter
ian Church of this city on Jan
uary 8. Report of the various
departments wore read that gave
an insight to the actual work bo
ing done by Rov. A. J. Irwin and
his estimable wife. For instance
an inspection of the membership
roll of tho Presbyterian Sunday
School shows two-thirds of the
families in Burns represented.
It was further found upon in
quiry that very little finnncial
support is given to this excellent
work by local people, although
tho field of labor of those good
people extends over a wide terri
tory. The pastors salary is tak
en care of by the Home Mission
Board of the Presbyterian church
that is what is lacking by local
support is supplied by this board.
No attempt had been mado
during the year just closed to se
cure local aid for this work and
what was forthcoming was vol
untarily contributed.
The Times-Herald does not be
lieve the people of Burns and
Harney cpunty'are indifferent to
the grand and" unselfish work, of
Mr. and Mrs. Irwin in this sec
tion. No man or woman enjoys
more universal respect and sc
teem in Harney county than they.
They have made themselves so
much a part of tho lives of tho
people that they are almost in
dispensable, therefore tho writer
feels that the friends of tho
church would consider it a pleas
lire to contribute to tho church
each year and is glad that stops
have been taken to, give them
this opportunity. It is not in
the form of a begging proposi
tion, but they will be given an
opportunity to make whatover
contribution they feel able to
give.
If parents would take a great
er interest in the word of thoKO
estimable people, attend the ser
vices more frequently and note
the effect of their association
with the children and young peo
ple, they will show a greater appreciation.

Addison Bennett editor of Tho
Dalles Optimist and tho Irrigon
Irrigator, arrived in Burns last
evening and will spend an indefi
nite time hero. Mr. Bennett
comes upon tho invitation of tho
Burns Commercial C'ib. Ho is
a man with big ido- and it was
therefore desired t.iat a man of
his calibre who is working in
season and out of season toward
the promotion of this great un
used and undeveloped region of
Oregon should see tho Big Ilnr
noy country.
On ncv Friday evening Mr.
Bennett will deliver his lecture
"Live to Smile, nnd Smile to

worth hearing nnd is most fav
orably received whereover given.
Mr. Bennett has a reputation as
an entertainer and wo feel confi
dent ho will make good with the
people of this section. Tho lec
ture will bo given under the aus

A I'LliASANT SOCIAL FUNCTION.
FAIR ASSOCIATION MEWING.
The annual meeting of the
Harney County Fair Association
was held at the B. A. C. Club
rooms last Monday afternoon.
Tho report of the soeit&ry and
treasurer were read and the now
directors elected. Although last
season was unfavorable and the
weather seriously interfered with
the conducting of the fair, the
boys in charge were able to keep
the association out of debt, pay
all premiums and still have a few
dollars loft.
Tho coming soason promises to
bo good and with the proper spir
it shown on the part of the pub
lic and particularly the business
men of Burns, this ycara f; r
should eclipse all others both as
to display of products, livestock
and other resources of the county
and alco as to tho amusements
and other attractions. The fair
boys will insist upon a response
from the business men of this
city, in fact, before thoy make a
move for tho coming season.
The following directors were
elected: P. G. Smith, Chas. Wil
son, Geo. Ilagoy, Julian Byrd, V.
J. Hopkins, F. S. Miller, Wm.
Farre. Mr. Smith was ro-olcct-
ed president, Chas. Wilson vice

L. S. to V. G.
Immediately following the in
stallation ceremonies the tables
wore" spread and all enjoyed a
fine banquet. The entire even
ing was thoroughly enjoyed by
all present and was one of the
really pleasant social affairs of
the season. The Odd Fellows
are going to begin the erection
of a handsome building upon
their property on Main Street
this year where the two organ
izations will have permanent
homos on the second floor, the
first floor being fitted up for
business purposes. The lodgo
room, banquet hall, kitchen and
all tho second floor will be hand
somely furnished and arranged
most conveniently for the pur
poses they arc desired. Tho
members of each organization
are enthusiastic over these pros
pects and every move is in clos
est harmony with tho two orders.
It is possible that the Masonic
order and Lunaburg & Dalton
may join with the Odd Fellows
and nut ur a big building co, .-
in tho neighborhood of $40,000.
Committees from tho lodges aro
now working on a plan to that
end. Tho Times-Herald com
mends this public spirit upon the
part of these organizations and
hopes thoy may succeed.

strongest institutions of the city
combining as it docs tho more
than $700,000 in deposit of the
I Bank of Commerce with tho more
, than$S00,000 of the Idaho Trust &
(Savings bank, giving that insti
tution a combined deposit account
of mora than $1,500,000.
As a part of the purchase the
Idaho Trust & Savings bank
building was sold to Captain J.
E. Yates, II. N. Collin, J. H.
