Threo Month 12.00 .IN BURNS GETS BUSY The recent action of the pro gressive business men of this city in getting data before the railroads and offering induce ments to have a line extended to Burns was timely and will surely produce results. Representative men have been sent to both Salt Lake City and Portland witn de finite information and concessions that will appeal lo raih-oad of ficials. Burns is ready to do her part toward bringing a road direct to this city and there is every rea son to believe the railroad people will take favorable action. Right of way can be furnished and a pioneer citizen has agreed to deed the road forty acres of land for terminals free of cost. SUNSGT MOTES for complaint about the action of the county court in starting to build a new court house. It should have been done before. The importance of the records alone is sufficient to cause any sane body of men having the in terests of the county at heart to make suitable provision for their safety. We have outgrown the dry goods box period and should at least keep abreast with our neighbors all over the state. The taxes in this county are lower even with the building fund add. ed than any of our neighboring counties and they haye fine court houses even more expensive than the one to be erected here. The present tax is not a burden upon any one. Why should there be a complaint? The taxpayers of the city of Burns will have to stand a greater tax than any other portion of the county with their fine new school building bonds, the regular city levy and the proposed bond issue for water works and sewer will make quite a tax but Burns is willing to as sume such responsibilities. The citizens have always been awake to the advancement of the entire country and have gone down in their pockets to assist in build ing school houses in various dis tricts, sent delegations at their own expense to confer with rail road people, development leagues and all gatherings where Harney county should be represented and where it was thought the ad vancement of the country in gen eral would be helped. They were untiring in their work to Becure the experiment station and have kept Harney county advertised to the outside world by personal contributions to put out descriptive pamphlets. The citizens of Burns have earned the gratitude of public spirited men for such work and such men are in favor of putting up a court house at the county seat that will be ample for ypars. the summer the porker will be cared for by the boy, working as far as possible on his own initia tive, except for the general in struction given. In the fall the members of the clubs will have the first contest among themselves. The winners of the respective clubs will meet for the county contest County winners will be eligible for the state fair contestat Salem, where thehighest prizes will be award ed. As an additional incentive, parents will be urged to let the boys have the profits of their hograising, at least for a time, until they get a thorough idea of the industry. Several million dollars are spent annually by the people of the Northwest importing hog meat from the eastern states. ARTHUR HORTON DIES SUDDENLY. BOYS' HOG CLUBS. Boys' hog clubs to the number of five or ten in every county, working on the same principle as the great system of corn clubs fostered by the Agricultural De partment throughout the corn belt of the nation, are to be fea tures of Oregon development work. Superintendent Alderman of the state schools yesterday listened to plans for the work un folded by Secretary 0. M. Plum mer, of the Union Stockyards, and gave his indorsement, says The Telegram. Hog clubs will not be a portion of the agricultural club plan for tho schools, but will be started as a separate institution, to get immediate results in production of tho much-needed porker in the Pacific Northwest. Texas now has a mighty system of boys' hog clubs, which is working wonders in educating farmers as to the wealth that may be secured from this humblo branch of livestock. For some time tho Union stock yards has been planning to send one or more men into the country in an effort to orgonizo boys' clubs for raising hogs. Superin tendent Alderman also is arrang ing to send out men in his agri cultural club work. At a meet ing yesterday thoy agreed that Arthur Horton died at his home in this city early Monday morn ing from the effects of quinsy, an abscess having formed and choked him before aid could reach him. He was out on Friday and helped to shovel snow off the Odd Fellow building roof. That evening his throat became sore, but he did not remain at home, going to a meeting of citizens at the court house to discuss water works and sewer systems. On Saturday evening he told his brother H. M. Horton he felt too bad to go I. 0. 0. F. lodge, but then he did not consider his ail ment serious. He had gotten up Monday morning, started a fire and was preparing to heat some water to bathe his swollen throat when he sat down in a chair and expired. Mr. Horton was a very quiet, unassuming man who had work ed hard since coming here. He was an energetic man who at tended strictly to his own affairs and a man who could be depend ed upon in whatever he under took. It was a great shock to his family and friends that his life was cut short so suddenly while in his prime. Arthur Horton was born Aug. 4, 1875 in Nevada county, Cali fornia, coming here several years ago and associating with his brother, II. M. Horton, in the electric light plant and other en terprises. He leaves a wife and two sons four brothers, Dr. H. M., Dean and Marion Horton of this county; Harry Horton, an other brother in Mexico, a sister in Seattle and his mother in California. ' Funeral services were conduct ed at the family home Tuesday afternoon by Rev. C. W. Hollo man after which Harney Lodge, No. 77, I. 0. 0. F. of which de ceased had just been installed Noble Grand, took charge of the remains and that impressive cere mony was held at the cemetery attended by one of the largest gatherings of the members of that order ever attended in this city. The Sunset people are showing the same enthusiasm in the Grange organization that they showed, a few years ago in get ting a school started and in build ing the best rural school house in Harney County. The Grange was organized a few weeks ago with sixteen charter members; alroady they have received enough applications to double their number. We predict that Sunset will have the largest Grange in the county within a year. Sunset people are praising the actions of the progressive board of county commissioners in levy ing a tax for building a new court house. When it comes to public improvements Sunset is there with both feet. It is announced in Sunset that Sidney Comegys is coming out for sheriff. Sid will find a good many loyal democrats in Sunset. The continued roar we have heard in the East the last few days is not the Harriman and Waverly people shooting rabbits. as we had supposed, it is the Har riman railroad people construct ing that tunnel in Malheur can yon. The Sunset ladies, who thought Dog mountain was such an un desirable name for such a beauti ful country, and changed to Sun set Valley, now seem to think Dog mountain is about the right name since the Harriman people refer to it as an objective rail road point. RAILROAD MAN CONGRATULATES US. 'A splendid musical program will be rendered on January 20th at the opera house under the auspices of the high school. Prof, C. B. Smith has secured the best musical talent in the city for the occasion and the program under his direction is certain to please. The proceeds will go to the high school piano fund. Enterprise. Klamath County is going in for agricultural education in its schools. A tract of SG acres has been bought and an experiment station will be established, where students will practice agricultur al methods under the direction of an expert who will be secured from the Oregon Agricultural College.

Burns Enterprise Worthy Atuch Larger Place Willi Greater Advantages. 11. J. O'Neill, traveling freight and passenger agent for the 0. W. R. & N. Co, spent yesterday in tois city calling upon friends. Mr. O'Neill said during a short call at this ollice that he wished he had a good railroad story for The Times-Herald but he was kept in the dark as to the inten tions of the Harriman line exten sions. However, he said he felt confident the lino through Mnl hour canyon would be pushed to completion as rapidly as circum stances would permit. When told that Burns was tak ing definite steps toward secur ing the Harriman line to this city Mr. O'Neill said he was pleased to learn of it nnd that he believed a proposition of termi nal grounds and right of way would find the construction de partment at both Portland and Salt Ltke in a receptive attitude. He was assured of these facili ties and that the citizens of Burns were ready to meet the railroad on any reasonable demands. Mr. O'Neill had just visited some of our stores in company with Mr. Kastilahn of W. P. Fuller & Co. and both expressed their surprise at finding so well stocked, large business houses. They feel Burns is really pro gressive and worthy particular consideration from the big job bing houses and railroads, as the volume of business and gen eral character of this little city does not suffer by comparison with larger places that have rail roads. They were both pleased to note the general improvement and spoke in highest terms of our enterprise when shown a cut of the new school building and informed of the action of the county court in levying a tax to build a new courthouse. Mr. O'Neil states that traffic over both the Deschutes railroads was greatly hampered at the pre sent from continuous slides of land and snow in the canyon. The roads are doing all they can to keep it open but,' both systems are handicapped. The gentleman said he had no particular business here, being in Bend in company with Gen Pass. Agt. McMurray and R. B, Miller, lie decided to come over and see us. They made the trip from Bend in 12 hours without mishap.
