A large number of young peo ple and friends were gathered at the Presbyterian church last evening for a social time. The particlar purpose of which was to present Mrs. A. J.

(Contributed.) The president of the North Dank Road and the Hill lines in Oregon has arrived in Portland, and makes the announcement that his "future work will be along the lines already planned by his predecessors." While Mr. Gray will bo gov erned largely by J. J. Hill, Louis Hill and other oflicials of that system, he will also have consid erable to say about the "proposed improvements and extensions" and his influence will be felt. Mr. Gray recognizes Portland as "the heart of activity" in the Hill system of the Northwest; hence the business men and the press of Portland will have a great deal of influence with Mr. Gray's recommendations as to what extensions should be first 'considered in the exploitations of I now territory in Oregon. What about Harney county, what about this great inland empire no near speedily constructed by tho Hnr rimnn system with n spur up into Hnrncy Valley? Surely you rcal izo what this means to Portland. You lmvo tho Willamette Valley, you have everything in Western Oregon and have a city to bo proud of; you lmvo wonderful wealth and great prosperity and wo away out hero in this big un developed section of Oregon re joice with you and w ish you con tinued growth and prosperity, and desiro to bo of you in fnct as well as name; but if something is not done, and that in tho near future, wo will bo annexed to San Francisco, and when it is too late, and you see thu millions of bushels of grain going out of this country to tho California city, you will regret the loss.

Some of tho stockholders of tho Bums Flour Mill Co. went up to Emigrant creek the first of this wt'ok to investigate tho power situ owned by tho company They were necompanied by an experienced man in such projects and ho was most favorably im pressed with the possibilities. All nro agreed that a great horse power can bo generated on the- property nnd it is likely the pro ject will be put boforo Iho stock holdertf in tho near futuro with tho result that work wil begin on tho property soon. Tho city authorities might antici pate this action and secure tho necessary ground for a ceptic tank and otherwiso provido for city wator nnd sewerage, as this company can no doubt furnish power for such as well as lights nnd other purposes. RIGHT ON THE JOIt. For tho benefit of those who really want to know tho state ment is made that the county court is right on tho job so far as any road or other matters that come up before it in proper manner nro concerned. Tho 1 re sent county court is doing all it possibly can toward the better ment of roads throughout Harney county. All available equipment is being used and road masters are doing good work. There is urgent demand for general repair work in every Boction as is nlway tho case at this time of year and this must hnvo attention to make the highways passable for heavy teaming. Tho Burns-Bend road was never before the court on petition until the present term which con vened Wednesday of this week. Tho court has been ready to act upon this road at any time but hnd to wait proper procedure. Tho court oyen exceeded its au thority in order to expedite this roail building by ordering it view ed nnd surveyed before tho nec essary petition was filed calling for such road. A portion of this proposed highway passes over private land nnd the court cannot without some authority open up such roads. THE TIMES'IIERAU) REPRESENTED. W. It.
