Lato ndvico from Washington
says Ex-Senator Fulton will not
bo appointed to the federal
Judgeship in the new district re
cently created in this state.
Fulton, according to these dis
patches, has boon tendered the
post of minister to China and
has asked time to consider it.
The Times-Herald man thinks
more of Hnrnoy county than over
since visiting tho Twin Falls,
Minidoka and other irrigation
districts of Idaho. Wo arc a
littlo slow hero but if a few of
our citizens could see how those
people make a country that has
no particular advantages over
this wo will get the spirit and
Harney county will go forward
at a rapid rate.
Tho Salem Board of Trade uses
Salem newspapers to get home-
seekers. They have decided that
picture books and other advertis
ing matter are all right in their
wav. but they are expensive. So
to all inquirers for information
about Salem, copies of Salem pa
pers are sent The Board of
Trade buys a certain number of
copies each week and uses them
as follow-up matter to interest
people coming west in Salem and
the surrounding country. kx.
According to the Blue Mt
Eagle the Sumpter Valley Rail
road will build into the John Day
Valley this year if given proper
encouragement It seems the
road desires a bonus of $10,000
and would like to be exempt
from taxes for a period of years.
The bonus is very reasonable
since it is said the road will cost
$16,000 per mile and there are
40 miles to be built, but the tax
exemption doesn't strike Grant
county very favorably, or at
least the Eagle.
The purpose of changing the
date of the meeting of the Ore
gon-Idaho Development Congress
to Julyl and 2 wiw to enable our
people to all attend and not in
terfere with the haying and oth
er harvest Few of our local
people realize the important
work of this league and it is very
much desired that the citizens of
Harney" county become familiar
with its purposes as this league
will do more for this particular
section than almost any other
agency. Therefore every citizen
should make it a point to be pre
sent Prominent men who un
derstand conditions will bo on
the program and will discuss
matters of particular interest to
this section. This congress will
make us all boosters and open
our eyes to the possibilities of
the great interior region of this
state.
COUNTY COURT.
At the adjourned term of coun
ty court held Monday and Tues
day, at which both Commission
ers Stallard and Smyth and
Judge Rector were present, they
made an appropriation of $500
for the county fair, granted a
liquor license to Smyth Bros, at
Andrews and made a contract
with H. C. Smith to add a second
story to the vault to be used as
a jury room. The second story
is to be finished the same as tho
first The court also arranged
for the road master to make
measurements of Crane Creek
and the South Fork of the Mal
heur in order to furnish plans
for tho construction of bridges
across those streams.
RECEPTION AND BANQUET.
The reception and banquet
given by the Burns Commercial
Club in honor of Wirt Hanley
and Nollie Reed Thursday even
ing proved a most enjoyable
social event and much appreciat
ed by tho guests of honor. Tho
tables were arranged in tho shape
of a letter II and were most ar
tistically decorated with cut
flowers. Owing to tho electric
lights being out of commission
the tables were lighted up with
candles.
Hon, A. W. Gowan acted as
toast master. Rev. A. J. Irwin
responded to the toast "Good
Citizenship;" District Atty. Mc
Culloch tho "Great Harney Coun
try"; Judge Webster, "Good
Roads;" Judge Miller, "Our
Wives and Sweethearts"; Hon.
Frank Davey, "Journalism in
tho Field of Development;" Nollie
TlooA hrioflv outlined his recent
tour of tho United States with
tho Oregon champion basketball
team; Win. Hanloy responded to
"Public Awakening nnu Interest
in Development" These toasts
worn intcrsnorsod with a few
vocal selections by tho Commer
cial Club malo nuartet, a cornot
solo by Prof. Wetmore and closed
with a double mixed quartet.
Tho sweats all seemed to bo in
a most happy frame of mind and
it wna nn event that will long bo
remembered by the guests oJ
honor who were touched by tins
token of respect shown by their
old timo friends and neighbors.
The tables were laden with good
things prepared by the "Wives
and Sweethearts" of tho club
who aro entitled to much credit
for tho success of tho affair.
SHEEP MEN ARE IN TPOUM.U.
Tom Flynn, Michael and M.
M. Barry and Ben Daly aro in
town and aro full of trouble.
It seems that during tho win
ter their sheep drifted over into
tho range in Hnrnoy county and
the assessor, over there has as
sessed the sheep. Tho sheep
properly belong to this county
and tho rnngo on tho mountain
land hero nine months or more
of the year. It does not look
like n fair shako for Harney
county to mnko tho attempt lo
filch taxes from Lake county in
this manner, and the sheep own
crs purpose fighting double tax
ation of this sort.
U. S. Inspector Proudfoot leav
es for the scene of disturbance
this morning and while his offi
cial duties do not admit of his
taking part in the controversy,
he merely goes out to enquire in
to tho health of the flocks.
Lakcview Examiner.
Well, if Lake county sheepmen
have their stock in Harney coun
ty on March 1st they are quite
likely to be assessed and they
may kick or not Harney coun
ty has been furnishing range for
outside sheep for a nuinbor of
years and has decided to tax
them as the law provides. If
these sheep range a portion of
each year in Lake county she
may secure her portion of the
taxes by making proper applica
tion for rebate. This is not such
a serious matter as tho sheepmen
and the Examiner may think
Stock in this county on the first
day of March should be assessed
here and there is no occasion for
double taxation at all.
A VALUAULE FIND.
Our neighbor county is rejoie
inir in a new find of probably
great value, which promises to
be more than worth while, though
as yet but littlo known. It is an
extensive opal bed, and lies some
thirty miles west of Denio, in
the extreme southern nart of
Harney county, near tho McGhec
ranch on Thousand creek. It is
in close proximity to the "petri
fied forest" on Thousand creek,
which is described by those who
have visited that out-of-the-way
section as entitled to rank among
the world's wonders. The pcC
refactions include trees of con
siderable size, and specimens se
cured by collectors bavo been
pronounced among tho finest
ever found in tho world.
At various times for years
past stones supposed to be opals
have been found in the petrified
forest but they were not suppos
ed to be of commercial value nnu
no special effort has, ever been
made to mine or market the
gems. Now it is said tho stones
have been found in considerable
quantity and they aro of good
size. A number ot tnom wen.
sent to Los Angeles to be tested
and were pronounced of excel
lent quality. Lindsoy Denio and
four partners who found the
stones have located eight claims.

CIRCUIT COURT.
Circuit Court convened last
Monday with Judge Davis pre
siding. Tho other ofllcors have
been in attendance and Claudo
McGeo hns acted as bailiff.
Among tho outside nttornoyB in
attendance were Dalton Biggs
and Hon. W. II. Urooko of Onta
rio and Judge L. It. abator, of
Portland,
Tho term hns been very light
and tho oxpenso has been slight
as compared to former terms.
Thoro has been but ono jury trial
that of tho slate vs. Medlin for
tho killing of L. P. Ramos on
Siccus Mr un tain Inst summer.
Tho jury was: J. L. Gault,
David Cox, B. F. Silor, W. II.
Hodder, Scott Hayes, J. C. Wei
come, Walter Cross, John Cnry,
E. C. Eggleston, Frank Whiting,
F. S. Miller, Lewis Defenbnugh.
The jury brought in a virdict
of not guilty on the first ballot.
Judge Win Miller defended Med
lin. Court adjourned last night and
Judgo Davis took his departure
for homo this morning. 1 ho re
port of tho grand jury was re
ceived lato yesterday afternoon
and among tho indictments were
several for gambling. Drewsey
people were the victims and those
who were arraigned put in pleas
guilty and were fined $C0 each.
Those who were indicted upon
more than one count were fined
for but ono and it is understood
Dist Atty. McCulloch will not
press tho other indictments pend
ing good behavior. This should
be a warning to tho saloon men
in this county nnd will likely put
a slop to gambling without any
further indictments.

you want it again.
Say, for instance, you rido a horso aftr cows close to Harney,
Drewsey, Vnle, Lawen, Diamond, Nrirov., etc., and something
would be going on there. All you need t do is send a postal or
