liked to them of the advantages

acked with humanity eager to
fee and hear what Mr. Hill had
'say.
President Leonard of tho Com-
lercial Club presided and in a
sort address welcomed Mr. Hill
Burns and Harney county.
' Mr Leonard spoke of tho hopes
our people and felt that that
jw the time oi isuiiuiuii io
awing to a close and that we
oked upon Mr. Hill and the
Breat Northern as our oest
riends. He spoke feelingly of
ames J. Hill and called the at-
ention of the disunguisneu
luest to this great valley mat

ipire builders to make it teem

Jso spoke in a warm manner of

build the depot in Burns, but as
vet he did not know as Bill had
not imformed him.
He explained the method of

we asK is the co-operation oi
people. We have had experience
in Montana and it has no such
advantages in an agricultural
way as this section. It is not
our theory that tho country must
bo populated before we build."
After discussing the gathering
of products of this county for the
exhibition car which they will
run throughout the eastern and
middle states during the coming
winter, he turned his attention
to the building of roads into the
interior. He stated they were
going to build into this section
and develop central Oregon.
"The Deschutes line will be
the backbone "of our system in
the state and the ribs will be
fitted in all right. We have not
built into this section before be
cause all things were not ready,
but now we are going to build
you a railroad. Our details are
not completed and even if they
were it would not be right for
me to give them out After get
ting back to Portland and sitting
down with Mr. Hanley and com
pare notes, I shall be able to tell
pretty near where your road is
going to run."
Mr. Hill explained how they
assisted the people of Montana.
They have 42 experiment sta
tions in that state for the propa
gation of cereals, fruits and veg
etables beststlitcd to the various
localities and conditiohs. Next
year the Hill interests propose to
co-operate with us in starting
experiment stations and getting
results.
He spoke of the benefit to the
country of the recent sale of the
Road.lands and said the grant is
now in the hands of men who
will sell it and develop it at a
rapid rate. Mr. Hill also discuss
ed better roads and suggested a
change in the forestry service
that would give the states the
benefit rather than go to a hord
of rangers and forestry officials.
He was frequently interrupted
during his talk by applause. In
his closing remarks he referred
to Mr. Hanley and it brought
such a thunder of applause and
calls for Mr. Hanley that ho had
to respond.
Mr. Hanley expressed his ap
preciation of tho warm welcome
accorded him by his home people
and was more or less confused
but finally pulled himself together
and stated ho felt confident that
Harney county would see tho
early construction of a railroad
by the Hill interests and while ho
had been greatly honored by be
ing given credit for this move ho
merely was doing his duty as a
citizen and was glad to bo of
assistance to his old friends and
neighbors. He spoko of tho high
cost of living and said it could
only be solved by turning to tho
soil, but that transportation was
necessary to make this a success
in central Oregon. Ho spoke of
tho large land holdings and show
ed that such were necessary in
the .past as small JlnB jM
not be made prolitaoio unuer
present conditions, but with the
coming of transportation tho big
concerns would bo dissolved into
small homes and this country bo
come a producing section.
Mr. Lcedy next spoko of tho
colonization plans. Ho outlined
tho methods of running exhibit
cars and giving land shows. Mr.
Lecdy, Col. 0. W. Seaton and C.
C. Morrison follow this particular
lino entirely and givo lectures.
Ho said tho people of Harney
county woro fortunate in getting
the Hill railroad interested in this
section as wo would receive much
attention and have u great num
ber of desirablo peoplo como to
us to mako homes.
Following tho addresses at tho
court house Mr. Hill and party
viowed somo of tho yards in this
city, looked at an exhibit of pro
ducts and mado a tirp to tho I.
S. Gccr farm whero thoy viowed
tho work being conducted on dry
farming methods.
In tho evening n reception
was tendered at tho Odd Fellows'
hall where a largo number of our
citizens from various parts of the
county mot Mr. Hill. Win. Han
ley was pressed into service as
master of ceremonies and called
upon several to respond to var
ious questions. G. A. Rembold
was asked by Mr. Hanley to give
some reasons why Burns should
have a railroad. Mr. Rembold
said ho was much pleased with
the address of Mr. Hill in the
afternoon; the policy of tho rail
road made it possible for Harney
county to develop and become
populous since it did not require
the development and people be
fore it came. He stated that he
folt safe in assuring Mr. Hill
that our peoplo felt most kindly
toward his road and were ready
to do anything possiblo to assist
Hon. Frank Davey was called
upon to givo further reasons
which ho did in a most happy
manner, assuring Mr. Hill of the
co-operation of the press of this
section and giving a few facts
regarding tho bigness and possi
bility of the country to be served
by his road.
Judge Miller talked of tho ex
perience of early merchants of
this region; of tho hardships and
the desire for a change. Mr.
Hanley finally stated that ho was'
almost convinced that Burns did
need a railroad and since it was
up to him to say so he thought

The graduating exercises of the
Harney County High School were
held at the hall last evening and
most thoroughly enjoyed by a
great crowd of friends of the
school that taxed the capacity of
the building.
The stage was tastefully decor

class colors while tho front was
banked with a mass of flowers
and potted plants.
The program was particularly
pleasing and excellent and all
present showed a deep interest
in tho school and the graduating
class. Each number was well
received and applauded and the
parcipants received hearty con
gratulatulations. Dr. Marsden's address to tho

One of tho most enthusiastic
meetings in tho history of Harney
county was held last Monday eve
ning at the courthouse when Tom
Richardson & Chas. V. Gallaway
addressed an overflowing house.
Mr. Richardson had been adver
tised as Oregon's greatest booster
and ho was greeted by people
from all over tho County.
Hon. Chas. V. Galloway, a
member of tho State tax comm
ission, was hero on oflkinl busi
ness and was pressed into service.
Ho stated he did not como to us
as a booster but after viewing
magnificent country any one
would become a booster. Mr,
Galloway is a pleasing speaker
and spoke most entertainingly,
for 30 minutes. I
Mr. Richardson mndo one of
Hie best get together speeches I
ever heard in this section. Ho is '
a man who understands the situ-
ation in this state and told his '
hearers that wo were tho center
of the stage today. We hardly
appreciated our advantages and

us. Ho preached unity of action ,

not a joke to tho man from tho
cast to como into the interior and
subdue the sago brush and soil for
a home and that ho needs the
cheerful co-operation of oui pco-
pie to mako it go.
Ho paid his respects to the (lis-
honest locator and insisted that
local business men should see
that new people were given a
square deal. Mr. Hichardson
considers this a most important
matter.
Mr. Richardson's address was
well received and will bear fruit.
Hi3 coming was timely and tho '
advise given was to, the point.
We needed such inspiration to
got tho entire community to real
ize tho importance of concerted
effort and obtain tho best results.
Ho said Louis W. Hill was the
most important young man in tho
world today in transportation
matters and that tho coming of
tho Hills was tho beginning of a
now era in central Oregon. He
emphasized tho importance of
keeping our city and county bo
foro tho public and leaving noth
ing undono to assist in tho devel
opment of this unsettled terri
tory, ns it was not only important
to us locally but tho entire state
and nation. Wo have advantages
over British Columbia where
thousands aro flocking and wo
should stop this tide and keep
these people under tho Stars and
Stripes. This assertion was mot
by hearty applause
Tho Times-Herald was pleased
to see such a largo attendance at
this meeting of people from a
distance Many new peoplo were
present and remained for tho
reception of Mr. Hill tho next
day and thoy were all encourag
ed by the good tidings given them
on every hand. President Leo

presided and it was largely
through his personal efforts that
tho meeting was bo largely attend

INDUSTRIAL NOTES.
(Portland Correspondence. ).
Tho visit of James J, Hill and
party to Portland during tho
past wcok has been of great sig
nificance. Accompanied by rail
road officials, Louis W. Hill has
left Portland to mako a tour of
the state. Ho will cross con
nl Oregon and sco for himself
what tho tonnage possibilities
of tho great region are. After
this trip, it is expected that a
definite announcement will bo
mado as to tho expected east
and west lines across tho state.
While in Portland, Mr. Hill
talked freely and his statements
mean much for Oregon. Ho con
firmed his purchase of tho Ore
gon Electric and United Railways,
interurban systems running out
of Portlanp, and says ho will ex
tend them down tho Willamette
Valley. Ho also confirmed his
