KKUIIUAllY 13, IPM IHlllSOllIlTION UATK8I Oho Your liCO Btx Month! . .1.00 Tlitco Montin 74 JULIAN 1IYUII - - - - Jttnimiinr A subscriber, who is also n render of the Orcgoninn, writes The Times-Herald for informa tion rcgurdinir tho following par agraph which appeared in a re cent issue of the Oregenian: "Senator Parrish asserted that this raiso in tho salary of the Treasurer of Harney County is desired by tho people af that county and that the Treasurer took the oflice upon the under standing that tho salary would bo raised." v Tho paragraph is taken from an article bearing upon tho rais ing of salaries of county officers. The Times-Herald heard nothing of such proposed raise during the campaign. In fact it know no thing of it until the bill was in troduced. There- was no such understanding and if left to a vote of the people of Harney county there would be no raiso in the salary either. ifntVj, i IV. dlMV.llHUlU'UJUl- missoncr Smyth were at Portland arranging for an excursion of business men of that city to tho Harney Country in tho spring, it was decided to havo tho secretary write Mr. Ilnulcy to urge Dr. Kerr and others of tho faculty of the Agricultural college to go in tho party. Tho next meeting of tho club will bo tho lirst Tuesday in March unless business of importance should require attention at an earlier date. Since tho dry farm experiment station bill has pass ed it is possible a meeting will be called soon. It is announced by a certain State Senator that "if the people of the counties want to raise tho salaries of their officials they have tho right" Good doctrine. Sound in every particular. Clev erly put. If the desire exists the right is unquestioned. buppose, However, time we were to determine this desire in tho surest manner possible, namely: by insisting that tho candidate for office who believes that tho compensation should be greater must announce that fact before election, make it a part of his campaign platform and give the people an opportunity to ex-pi-ess their sentiments by their vote for him or for some other man who would be willing to as sume the office without increase of pay; what then? Ex. Legislators who are passing salary grabs over the governor's vetoes at Salem will find food for reflection in the result of an elec tion at Los Angles Wednesday. The body politic is everywhere largely the same in its determin ations. In Oregon it is much the same as in Los Angles, and in Los Angles much the same as in Oregon. Proposed advances of salary for officials was sub mitted to the people in Los Angles under referendum vote, and the virdict was in every in stant an overwhelming vote against the grab. It would be exactly the same in every in stance of salary grab that is be ing pushed through the legisla ture at Salem were the matter referred to vote of tho counties and districts involved. The chances are that in every case the advance would be snowed under by the vote of ten to one. The governor is absolutely right in his contention that no salary should be increased dur ing tho term of an incumbent. The principle is absolutely .sound, and Governor Chamberlain is fully warranted in defending it to tho last extremity of tho veto power. If the office holder did not want tho office at the salary he should not have become a can didate. After accepting the office it is an insult to the legislature to ask it to become his tool in working a game of salary grab upon the people. The L03 Ange les landslide against salary snatching is merely a reflection of what the verdict would be in every case in Oregon if the peo ple had tho chance. Journal. MMIONU COMPANY rOKMCl). Tho following special from Drewsey appeared in a recent issue of a Portland paper: A stock compnny was organized here Monday with S. S. Wil liams, president, and C. W. Drinkwater, secretary and treas urer, who will complete the tele phone lino between this place and Harney City, a distance of 5J5 miles. The line will be com pleted in about two weeks. This line was started during tho early part of the past year by Camp bell & Co., of Prairie City, but was later abandoned, tho excuse being the scarcity of help. Seven miles of telephone lino which will connect Drewsey with Van, Ore., u distance of 25 miles, also tiovernment iorest reserve, a few miles beyond Van, have been completed. When these lines are completed Drewsey will then bo connected with all out side points.

At a special meeting of the Commercial Club last Tuesday evening tho constitution was amended to cover all classes of membership which now includes an athletic branch. It was also arranged so ladies will have cer tain privileges and no doubt we may have several ladies who will take advantage of it. Juvenile members may alho bo admitted. There were several added to the athletic membership roll at tho meeting and two to the active membership. It seemed from those who dis cussed the matter that noither of the proposed water billH before the legislature were satisfactory and it was decided to wire such to our representatives at Salem. Representative Brooke is chair man of tho irrigation committee and helped to frame one bill. Just what offectthia will havo on Mr. Brook's actions concerning tho bill is problematical.

It is now up to the people of Hnrnov county to get busy and fulfill its part in securing this much desired station in this county and every good citizen should join with the Burns Com mercial Club in this work. Tho bill does not say it shall bo locat ed in Harney county, therefore we must move nl onco as other Eastern Oregon counties may de sire it. It is hardly likely that the gov ernor will veto this bill since ho has expressed approval of the establishment of such a station, therefore we should not delay in taking advantage of it. This is an important matter to all Har ney county and The Times-Her ald hopes to seo a monster mass meeting of the citizens held in the near future and concerted action taken. Following is given tho partic ular portions of the bill: Whereas, Tho United States Department of Agriculture- has offered to expend the sum of not loss than 2500.00 annually to assist the state of Oregon in es tablishing and supporting an ex periment station on dry, arid or non-irrigated land in tho State of Oregon, provided the State of Oregon shall appropriate the sum of not less than $2500.00 for a like purpose Whereas, Tho people of certain sections of Eastern Oregon, es pecially Harney County, Oiegon, have offered to furnish necessary land, permanent improvements initial equipment for said experi ment statien: and Whereas, In order to obtain the said assistance of the Feder al Government, it will be necess ary for tho State of Oregon to appropriate at least the sum of 2500.00 annually toward the es tablishment, maintenance and support of said experiment sta tion; now therefore, Be it enacted by tho People of tho State of Oregen: Section 1. That in oidor to in vestigate and demonstrate the condition utidor which useful plants may be grown on dry, arid or non-irrigated lands in tho State of Oregon, and to deter mine the kinds of plants best adapted for growth on these lands, there be, and is hereby es tablished in the manner of this Act provided, an experiment sta tion in tho State of Oregon for such purpose. Section 2. That there be, and is hereby appropriated the Hum of $2500.00 annually to assist in the payment of the salaries of the officers and employes, and to assist in the payment of the maintenance and general and contigent expenses of conducting the said experiment station pro vided for in Section I of this Act. Section 3. That said experi ment station shall bo located on such part of the dry, arid or non irrigated lands in tho State of Oregon, by and under the cliroe- Uickoii, as Hiiall be selected by the board of regents of said col lego, acting in co-opcratlon with a representative of tho United Slates Department of Agricul ture. Section 1. That snid station shall bo under the management and control of the board of ro- gents of tho State Agricultural College of Oregon as a branch station of said college. Section G. That it shall bo tho duty of those having said exper imental larm in cnarge to securo seeds from this nnd other coun tries of the world, of plants that aro thought suitable for growth or dry lands, and to observe and record tho growth, yield and composition of tho plants grown from tho seed so secured; to in vestigate and determine the methods of soil treatment by which the soil water is best con served; to investigate tho possi bilities of grazing on dry lands which havo been seeded to dif ferent crops, and to undertake such other experiments and de monstrations as maybe deemed advisable, having in view the reclamation of the dry or arid, lands of the State. Section 0. That tho snid Board of Regents of said collego shall cause to be prepared nnd pub lished full and complete annual reports of tho work undertaken and accomplished by said station, and that an edition of such num ber of coiiies as said Board of Regents shall determine shall be published annually and distribut ed freo of charge, and the cost of such publication nnd distribu tion shnll bo deemed a part of tho general expenses of snid sta tion. Section 7. That said money hereby appropriated be paid quarterly out of any moneys in the general funds in tho State treasury not otherwiso appropria ted, commencing January 1, 1009 Section 8. That upon requisi tion being made by tho treasurer of the Board of Regonts of the Stale Agricultural College, the Secretary of Stato shall draw a warrant upon the State Treasur er, payable out of said funds for the said quarterly payments. Section I). The appropriation provided by the terms of this Act shall not bo available until the necessary land, permanent improvements and initial equip ment are convoyed, without cost, to the State of Oregon, the terms of such conveyance to the satis faction of the Board of Regents of said State Agricultural College. Using ..." ' i : iim vehicle, ns tho great ma jority of ihosjo letters will bo read and re-read again 'and again. Within the past week announ cement has been mado that in addition to tho $25.00 faro from Missouri River points, $30.00 from St. Louis and $33.00 from Chicago, a proportionate rate is good from every point in tho United states. For instance, New York $50.00, Boston, $-19.45, Cleveland $39.76, Birmingham $10.25, nnd Jacksonville $50.75 are given as illustrations. Tho Portland Commercial Club has now in the hands of tho prin ter, leaflets giving tho city and state in addition to these rates, and these will bo dis tributed at each and all of tho schools. Samples of these leaf lets arc available to any reader of this paper. Oregon should get thirty thousand new settlers during March and April. Portland certainly gave a warm welcome and an enthusiastic en tertainment to the two hundred and nine "Inland Empire" Ex cursionists who spent Saturday in the metropolis. The party is under tho auspices of tho Spo kano Chamber of Commerce, en- route through Oregon and Cali fornia. Ono of the most appre ciated incidents- was n package of stamped souvenir postals ready for use, presented to ench guest by their hosts. As a special committee from Burns, Harney County, Messrs. Wm. D. Hanley, A. W. Gowan and G. A. Smith will extend to tho business men of Portland, at the Commercial Club luncheon Tuesday, February 9th, an invi tation to organizo a groat excur sion early in the spring to visit Harney County.
