Wm. Hnnley left Thursday
afternoon for' Portland and just
before leaving called The-Times-Herald
by 'phone and said he
had letters from prominent out
side people who are coining to
the Development meeting and
fair who expressed the hope that
Burns could accomodate and feed
the multitude that was coming.
It was suggested that the local
hotels and homes where these
delegates are to be entertained
should give them strictly Harney,
county products on the menus.
This is one of the most unique
suggestions yet advanced to ad
vertise our products and we could
thus demonstrate the possibilities
of our section in a manner that
would impress our visitors. Har
ney county (lour for bread, vege
tables, fruits, meats, eggs, fish,
etc., could be supplied- oven

The Portland Journal of recent
date has an article on trade ex
cursion programs of Portland
business men and in this article
speaks thus of the Burns meet
ing: The theme of tho excursion to
Burns, leaving Portland Septem
ber 30, for attendance upon tb
convention of tho Eastern Ore
gon Development league, October
2-3, will be different from all tho
journeys before mentioned. It is
not believed that Portland will
everloso'tho business of central
Oregon, but it is a conviction in
meeting tho development pro
gram for the next five years is to
be announced and the forces to
carry it out enlisted. It is also
said that it will he the occasion
foi ono of tho most important
gatherings of railroad men ever
held in the state, mid that mat
lei's of great transportation and
development importance will bo
definitely decided upon.

Moro encouraging railroad news
has been received this week
and the work at Vale indicates
work in reality. Tho construc
tion now being prosecuted at Vale
is preliminary to tho start for
Harney valley, therefore it can
be only a short time until we
know whether construction is to
continue. A recent press dis-
s that may arise and a patch from Vale published in tho

erection of a $3000 two-story
building to be used as tho head

Work of filling tho local rail
road yards, laying 90-pound rails,
and extending the switching

Rickcr-Glcen at Vnlo that thoy
would start GO barrels on Sept. 2.
Tho contractors considered it un

1110 PORTLAND DELEGATION.
A train load of Portland busi
ness men will attend tho Central
Oregon Development leaguo con
vention in Burns, October 2 and
3. At a special committee meet
ing held in tho Commercial club
yesterday afternoon it was decid
ed that the party shall leavo
Portland tho morning of Satur
day, Septembor 30, going by
way of Redmond, Prineville and
Bend by rail, holding meetings
in each town, then proceeding by
auto to Burns. Returning tho
Portlanders will como out of
Central Oregon by way of Prairio
City.
It is expected that the Burns
gathering will bo tho most im-
other fields. The crops are not
large but are an average and
snfiieiont to be handled with a
good profit.
Tho Times-Herald has not yet
been able to got tho yield of
many fields, therefore cannot
givo an estimate of the average
yield over this territory. In some
cases tho crops have turned out
better than expected, but in more
it has been disappointing falling
below what was expected, yet
sufficient to givo tho farmer a
good profit.
J. C. Foley's wheat has yielded
well, perhaps hotter than 50
bushels to the acre. A bushel of
wheat taken from the machine
weighed G4 lbs which shows the
superior quality of tho grain and
that it is a remnrkablo yield.

P. II. Browning, a promoter,
has been hero for several days
investigating tho oil prospects
nnd is favorably impressed with
what he has seen, lie is accom
panied by E. A. Cloves and they
feel quite certain of being able
to start operations in the imme
diate future should they find
sufficient encouragement from a
local source.
It would be a good thing to in
terest sufficient outside or other
cnpital to really prospect the pos
sibilities of oil and gas in the
vicinity of tho lakes. It has been
known for a long time that we
have gass there and with it de

toward assisting the forward
