They realize the necessity of a safe place for all their important records, besides they approve of Harney county keeping up with the procession in the way of public improve ment and appearance. They also take into consideration the lower tax levy in this county than any of the adjoining counties who already have fine court houses. Personal selfishness does not en ter into their consideration of the question. Angeles and San Francisco. His principal purpose was to get in i touch with Eastern tourists to learn from them the reasons for their recent pilgrimages to Cali- fornia and to study a method by which the same class of people that visits the southern states in the winter months can be induced to come to Portland in the sum- , mer time. "Good roads." Mr. Scott be lieves, is the key to the situation He found that people on pleasure trips like to keep moving and they like to see new sights Travel over country roads affords them these opportunities. The automobile has grown to be the chief means of transporting peo ple on such trips. To make autobobile travel attractive good roads are necessary. California has them. Oregonian. AT T0NAWAMA. The Tonawama Stock Company gave another preformance last night to a good house. Just as The business men of Burns the bell was tapped for the open- should take un the matter of transportation from railroad points before the colonist rates begin which will be March 1 this year. The Times-Herald has been in formed by those in a position to know that many people are dis couraged upon arriving at the end of the rail lines by the ex cessive prices asked to bring them into this section. Our in formant states that he knows positively of many turning back without seeing the Central Ore gon country for this one reason. Auto people should be made to see that this is a drawback, not only to the settlement and de velopment of the country, but also to their own business. When people have been paying three cents a mile to ride to the end of the railroad and then find it costs them nearly fifteen cents a mile, exclusive of baggage, to come on in, they don't take kindly to it and consider they are held up. The Times-Herald believes automobile owners should have a good legitimate profit and this can be had at a less rate than is usually charged. If Burns business men will take this matter up with the rail road people who are anxious to get people into this territory they can regulate these prices and thereby induce all the people headed for Central Oregon to come on in. Why not get right down to "brass tacks" this season in the way of farming and show what Harney county can really do. There's no danger of over pro duction with the vast number of people who are coming to settle permanently within our borders and besides the railroad camps must be supplied with food stuffs both for man and beast. The dry farmer should give his crops par ticular care and the fellow who has water should use it intelli gently. Make this Harney coun ty's banner year for crops. ROADS BENEFITS PLAIN. Principal among California's attractions for the tourist, says John M. Scott, general passenger agent of the Southern Pacific, who has just returned from that state, is in excellent roads, and therein lies a moral for Oregon, ho declares. Mr. Scott left here with the party of Canadian ex cursionists that recently passed through nnd passed the interven ing time, until his return the other day, in the rural districts of California, with the exception of a fow days' visit in Los ing overture the electric lights went off which put the entire company in a bad humor and con sequently had its effect upon the players. The gas lights were turned on but they are not sat isfactory for stage productions, not being arranged for best scenic effects. The electric lights came on and off twice during the even ing but could not be depended upon, making it bad for the play ers. The crowd seemed well pleas ed with the production of "A Soldier's Sweetheart" which is a very pleasing comedy drama in four acts. Mr. Harlan, who was cast as the Irish cousin from America, was a decided favorite with the house. Mr. Salisbury had a very difficult part to play as "heavy", a new role for him, and he played it well. The others of the cast carried their parts very well and aside from one or two embarrassing situations caused by the confusion the lights made on the players to be gin with the bill went very sat isfactorily. It seems the public is partial to comedy and the Tonawama Stock Co. will produce a mose laugh able comedy as its next bill. "A Cheerful Liar" or the "Indiana Justice" will be put on Friday February 9. No doubt some have seen this comedy, but it has nev er been played in Burns. Every character in the bill is good and they're all comedy. Ora Hill was greeted with the usual enthusiastic cheering last night when he came before the footlights to sing and had to re spond to an encore. More specialties will be added in future and from this time on attendants at Tonawama will be greeted with the latest popular lar songs as well as character features. The management is going to take up the matter of lights at once and try to see that the em barrassing situation of last night is not repeated. Owing to the unusual prelimi nary demands from homeseckers for information on the North west, the transcontinental rail roads will extend the spring col onist period over forty-six days this year instead of thirty days, as formerly. ThoTranscontinental Passenger Association in session at Chicago decided to grant tho extra length of time to accommodate tho heavy volume of business sure to result from the persistent publicity campaign conducted by tho rail roads and the various communi ties of the Northwest The one-way rates to Portland and other points in the North west that may apply from March 1 to April 15, inclusive on all roads operating to the Pacific Coast will be: From Chicago, $33; from St. Louis, 31; from St. Paul, Minne apolis, Duluth, Kansas City, Omaha, St. Joseph and Missouri river common points, $25, with correspondingly low rates from points east of Chicago. "In anticipation of this move ment," telegraphed Mr. Cleland, "the Northern Pacific Railway now is distributing 200,000 book lets on Oregon, in addition to several hundred thousand letter inserts, which are being sent out with all letters written by every one connected with the Northern Pacific over all the United States. These are strictly colonists' in serts, calling attention to the low rates, dates of sale, etc." TO ORGANIZE SCHOOL PAIRS, Senator Chamberlain anJ Homesteaders Senator Chamberlain is pre paring and will introduce a bill for the relief of homesteaders, differing from all measures now pending in that it will provide that any homesteader, after six months continuous residence on his land, may be entitled to a leave of absence for six months of each year; that is to say, homo steadears will be requited to re sided upon their land only half of each year until final proof is made. By this means he believes, set tlement will be greatly encour aged and homesteading made easier. Senator Chamberlain thinks some relief must be granted to attract settlers to those lands now open to home stead entry. Oregonian. WANT GOVERNMENT B0UNTV. President Gooding and Secre tary McClure, of the National Woolgrowers' Association, now in Washington, D. C. are prepar ing to urge the passage of the National bounty law. They con lend that state bounty laws are inadequate to exterminate the predatory wild animals which breed in National forests. Fed eral assistance is necessary, they assert, as these wild animals each year kill $15,000,000 worth of livestock which results in an an increased cost of meat. Pure Breeds Pay Best. The farm should have on it all the good stock it will keep and the help you have can give the proper care. 1 lie weli-Dreu, pro. fitable kind of horses will do the same work except more of it that the scrubs are now doing. It is just as cheap and much more profitable to have pure bred cattle instead of common stuff. If you are keeping a few cows and selling the cream, you can have, if you will, cows will pro duce five or six times as much milk as scrubs. You can have pure-bred hogs which make pork cheaper than scrubs, and you can sell a sow or boar for breed pur poses. A few sheep will help things along. Not one of these improved kinds of live stock will in any way prevent or interfere with the growing of wheat oi corn for market, which may just now have your undivided atten tion. Think this over. Resolve to get a few animals of the better than common stock next vear. The good ones increase rapidly, and soon you'll have all you can keep. Farm Progress. A. S. Swain and daughter, Miss Ilelene, are up from La wen. The organization of school in dustrial fairs and the promotion of agricultural education in the schools throughout the state will bo the principal work of Calvin C. Thomason. who was made a member of the staff of tho Ore gon Agricultural College Exten sion Division under Prof. R. D. Hctzcl at the last meeting of the college regents. Under the immediate direction of State Superintendent of Schools, L. R. Alderman, Mr. Thomason will visit the various counties, aiding the school all thorities in organizing the in dustrial work and promoting the school fairs and school gardens The work is a part of that plan ned by the State Bankers' Asso ciation and promoted by the Ore gon Development League, the State Fair Association, the State Superintendent of Schools and the agricultural college. Since his graduation in 1907 at Whitman College, Mr. Thomason has been in journalistic work in various parts of tho state, nota bly at LaGrande, Pendleton, Salem, and Portland, and has done much toward better farm methods and the improvement of rural conditions generally. IURIUATION MEET POPULAR. Answers to the call issued last week for an irrigation congress to be held in Portland, February 19, 20 and 21. are being received in steadily increasing volume at the Commercial Club promotion bureau in Portland, which indi cates a widespread and active in terest in the coming meeting. William M. Colvig, president and manager of the Medford Commercial Club visited the coming congress and declared that Medford would issue an invitation urging the congress to meet for its second annual ses sion in Medford. William Pollman wrote from Baker yesterday acknowledging the receipt of the call for the congiessand said he would come to Portland at an early date to communicate with officers of the Oregon Development League re garding the delegation of repre sentatives to be sent from his territory. Other letters and com munications of a similar nature have also been received. John H. Lewis, state engineer, and H. C.

Full information as to the ex tent of the attendance from all sections of the state is expected to be in within the next two weeks and officers of the Devel opment League will make com plete plans for the program of the congress at that time. Oregonian. Chas. W. Loggan and Thos. Howser left Monday with J. H. Loggan for Portland where the latter goes for medical treatment. The party went to Bend in Char ley's auto, making the distance in one day without mishap and Mr. Loggan, Sr. was reported feeling fine upon their arrival at Bend.
