Lot each one do his part and wo shall not bo found wanting in any respect, Outsido delegates should bo given a warm recep tion ns they will all go out of tho Harney country to do missionary work and are coming to get bet ter acquainted. They're all boosters for us. According to a Washington press dispatch Secretary Hallin ger has picked on R. II. Thom son, a Seattle engineer, to suc ceed F. H. Newell as head of tho reclamation service. Tho secre tary lias shown a disposition to conduct the nfTairs of his depart ment upon a business basis, there fore it may be taken for granted that Mr. Thompson is a good man for the place. Well, yes; we did have a back ward spring with a lack of rain fall, but things are improving in tins respect and now crop pros pects look brighter. Don't con demn this country until you read the news papers and see how other sections are faring. We do pretty well on an average, PREPARATIONS FOR THE CONGRESS. At a meeting of tho Commer cial Club last Tuesday evening plans were discussed for tho De velopment Congress and various heads of committees were given an outline of what was expected. Nothing definite was arrived at however. II. C. Smith, C. F. McKinney, Dr. Brown, Sam Mothorshead and I. Schwartz were appointed a committee to canvas the town and see what rooms were avail able in private houses for those who may not secure rooms at the hotels. A meeting of the executive board, entertainment committee, 4th of July committee, etc., was called last night- at A. W. Gow an's office where further plans were discussed. It seems only Vice-President Rembold and Dr. L. E. Hibbard were the only members of the executive board present, therefore other meetings will be necessary for final arran gements and a definite program. It was decided to hold the con gress in the Commercial Club hall where seats will be provided. The' matter of an open air meet ing was considered not advisable as tho weather may not permit The club rooms on the first floor will be headquarters for all dele gates. It is the intention of the 4th of July Committee to provide en tertainment to a certain extent and instead of a banquet the bar becue dinner on the 3rd at the fair grounds will be provided and an especial invitation to visiting dalegates will be extended to this novel feed. The pavillion will, be cleared and long tables placed in there and spreads will be prepared under the grand stand in a similar manner. TUB SUMPTER VALLEY EXTENSION.

According to newspaper re ports tho business mon of Baker City will tako a hand in tho ex tension of tho Sumpter Va'ley Railroad and now proposo lo raise a $10,000 bonus which will bo paid to tho road nH soon us trains aro run into tho John Day Valley. This is another step towaul bringing tho Harney County near er to tho outsido world and should tho lino bo extended to that point it would bo of consid erable benefit to-this section. It seems, however, that tho lino will go by way of Susanville and not ovor Huckleberry lint to Prairie. In such an ovent it would bo rather difficult to got out and on over to this plueo as it is understood Burns is tho ob jective point to which tho road is headed. Of course tho writer knows but little regarding tho physical conditions and such a route may bo feasible. Wo have always hoped for an extension of this road but have been more or loss discouraged on account of the roughness of tho country through which it would havo to build, yet it doesn't seem to bo any worse than tho difficulties already over come by tho lino in building ns far up as Austin. According to a report in tho Canyon City Eagle $5000 of tho amount has been raised on tho proposed bonus. Tho following from the Baker City Democrat gives some informatien: Mr. David Ecclos, president of the Sumpter Valley Railroad, ar rived in Baker City yesterday. In tho afternoon ho had a con ference with a number of Baker City business men and they were given to understand that if the Sumpter Valley wo3 to bo ox tended to John Day, then it was necessary for Baker City to como forward with a subsidy of $10,000. Last evening another confer ence was held, Mr. Grant Geddos acting ns Mr. Eccles' representa tive at which meeting about a dozen business men were pres ent, Mr. F. II. Dean acting as chairman. Mr. Geddes repeated the abovo statement regarding tho subsidy Baker City was expected to raise and said that was Mr. Eccles' ul timatum. He further said that John Day had pledged $20,000 and the Oregon Land Company, owning tho Dalles Military road, had pledged $10,000, these being contingent upon Baker City pled ging $10,000. He said further that if this monoy was raised and it must be in a few days if at all work would commence at once on the extension and the road completed to Prairie City by Thanksgiving day. Until tho road is completed to John Day, which will not bo likely beforo next year, no money is to be paid. In the foregoing tho Democrat gives the matter of thoS. V. Ry,. extension just ns Mr. Geddes pre sented it. It will bo seen that Mr. Eccles is not quibbling. Un less Baker City puts up $10,000 as a bonus, subsidy, or whatever it is called, there will be no ex tension of the Sumpter Valley Railway. It its up to tho Baker City peo ple squarely and fairly and action must be taken at once. However, much bonuses aro cspised; hero is a condition and not a theory that presents itself to oar people and one that must not bo overlooked in the face of the vast benefit that will accrue to tho commer cial interests of Baker City. Burns, Harney county, has pledged to throw its trado by tho signature of every business man to Baker City in case tho roilroad extension is mado and that the whole of that Interior country will bo turned this way is assured. A failure to meet tho demand mado upon it will place Baker Uity in a very .embarrassing po-i sition, financially and otherwise, 1 and our people cannot afford to fluke at this critical period. And let it bo undorstood, every prop erty owner-in' tho city will bo ex pected to put up his sharo in tho raising of tho amount of mdney asked from Baker City, Busi ness men, those who mako prop erty remunerative by paying high rents for tho privilege of doing business, ought not to bo expec ted to carry nil the burden. Once again, it is up to tho peo ple of Baker City to put up $10,000 or tho S. V. Ry. exten sion will not bo built. Get in, drill und don't grumble. It is tho inevitable, Bo masters of tho situation. Democrat. Brad Mo38 was up from Lawdn NOTES FROM SUNSET, -ANANIAS-Mr. Chas. Reed visited ovor Sunday at homo, Mr. Reed has boou working for Mr. Sid Como gys on tho road near Andoroon, Valley. There woro a number of Sun Bot sports attended tbbnll gnmo at Burns Sunday.

"nor will put up hay for Mr. Louig this mimtnor. Everybody is getting ready to embark for tho hay fields. Mrs. Beclc and children visited friends at tho Narrows last week. There are 8omo patches of grain that aro looking fairly well hut needing rain badly. Wo think if tho "Boosters" of the great Harney would only get togothor and "boost" some of tho clouds ovor this way bo wo would got somo rain it would bo one of tho greatest improvements yet.
