Randall and Julian lyrd with Mrs. Rembold presid ing at the piano, a piano solo by Mr. Fellows and a mandolin and guitar duet by Homer Reed and pari Welker wore among the iusical numbers that seemed well appreciated. iDr. Elizabeth Ellis gave a Kplcndid talk on the work of the women which was thoroughly R5fjoyed, speaking of her exper- RJhces on coming to this section lifid tlio wonderful improvement conditions since. Dr. Ellis live an insight of what was be g done by the ladies who haveiin he public library in charge and the work done by the Moth Club. Mrs. V. L. Blott made many radical suggestions as to tho girt of tho ladies in helping to MKIKU a- piea.suiik rur uiu new SShiers. She said the ladies have Bfeir part in pioneering that was lawtinctive her first impressions Sftvorning the movement of the ifinily to a great extent. Mrs. Mott proposed an organization Kfttho ladies of Burns to look wter tho newcomer and show 9em mo advantages ami Denn is of their surroundings in t make It so pleasant that she 11 forget homesickness and feel o is weicomo among now ends. This met with the tini- rsnl approval of all present. LThc Times-Herald is pleased t tho ladies were invit d to k and participate in these af rs as it will certainly bo ad- ntagcous and bring about a lore conteeted class of women Rio have left home and kindred to Sine to an isolated section where pssible firmer advantages and Inveniences aro not to bo had Ir the time being. Mr. Hnnley was called on for Pfow remarks. He followed in (io same lino of suggestions as piced by tho ladies who preceded Im in the responsibility of home poplo to tho newcomer. Ho in- atod that happiness and con- Bntmont were the first things bo considered -good fellow- oip being greater than titles or Ig holdings. Mr. iianiey saui jiiio people should not allow jttlo differences to interfere with bo unity ot purpose -timi wo ijouhl all stay together and that i long as it was for tidvnnco- JM'iit, puro work and honest inciples wo would bo hnrmoii ius and accomplish good. PROGRESS AND BANQUET in Every Pnrticulur The At the close of the program fit Tonawama more than half of those present went to the Bunm hotel where one of the best ban quets over spread by that popu lar hostelry waa enjoyed. The dining room was tastefully de corated and cut (lowers formed a conspicuous part of the table decorations. Judge Wm. Miller presided as l"1 master in a pleasant way d the richly kowiioiI ladies again added to the pleasure of the occasion. The toastmaster first called upon Hon. Frank Davey to respond to the "Duty of Burns to the new Home Seeker." Mr. Davey responded in his usual forceful manner. He paid a fine tribute to Mr. Hnnlcy for his in- creasing labor for Harney county anil then gave his attention par- Uculnrly to the subject chosen is the first place the homesceker strikes and while our very first has been the bringing of the in dividual to the country by our de- hci-hhivi- hwthi.hii:jhiiiciii.-uhik- W letters, we should follow this by embracing the opportunity to put them right, give them a hearty and cheerful welcome and reliable information. He heartily approved of Mrs. Blott's sugges tion of an organization for the ladies. Hon. I. S. Geer responded to "Observations of a dry land far mer and Utnor Things." Mr. Geer spoke mostly of "Other Things." explaining that he was not devoting as much tunc as formerly to farming. Ho told of his recent trip to Portland and Southern Oregon points and found much interest shown in Harney county. Mr. Geer spoke of tho advantage of this section securing attention from the .homo seeker, as it was about the last place that desirable land could bo secured cheap. He told of his visit to Mr. Gray of the Oregon Trunk and the plan of the Hill lines to build to Burns as wns stated in tho last issue of Tho Times-Herald Dr. L. E. Hibbard spoke on "Pests and Gamo of the County." Dr. Hibbard is a lover of nature and is very interesting in discus sing such subjects. lie believes wo are prone to magnify our troubles and Hint pests are not so hard to get rid of as we ima gine. Dr. Hibbard assorted that the pests would take care of themselves in course of time. In fact he predicted that in a short time they would become almost extinct, at least to such a degree that we would bo considering ways and means to prevent the entire extinction of them. Ho spoke of the important part game had played in pioneering a eoun try in providing food, and that it still has its place in that res pect, but more particularly now in the way of attracting people for the sport-that it is an im portent asset to the country and urged its protection. "Tho future of Harney County" was what C. H. lleonard respond ed to in a happy vein. Mr. Leo nard has observed conditions and his predictions for tho future wero not overdrawn in any re spect. Ho was conservative in his viows of our future, but as serted it would take new blood to make it successful as tho "old timer" was afraid of work. The shallow depth of water, tho irri gation possibiliities with proper conservation wero nil given at tention. Dr. Denmnn was nmong tho out of town guests and spoke of I his fuvorablo impression of tho country and confidence of its fu ture. He said the rabbits were a pest that should have serious consideration. Ho took issue with Dr Hibbard that pests were easy to get rid of as they had tried poison with indifferent suc cess. Peter Clemens, Tim Donovnn, Sam Mothershend, Wm. Farre and others wero called upon, also Mrs. Allen, Mrs. Gault and Mrs. Miller, tho lntter responding with the suggestion already made that the ladies take part in the impor tant work of looking after the new homo seckes. It was noticablc that every one who talked had tlio idea of mak ing good to tho new, comer. Give them a good impression and a welcome thai was genuine. Make them feel they aro among friends who are anxious to see them prosper and willing to lend a helping hand. Mr Hnnley was then called up on. He was visibly affected by the honor showed him by his home people and said he felt like hugging tho whole outfit. He said he had started out with a selfish motive to boosting this section alone but found from ob servation that he'd have to take in all of Oregon, later this was enlarged upon and adjoining states were included in his scheme, finally taking in all west of the rocky Mountains-then he hit tho trail and had to take it as far back as New York. Mr. Hanlcy ngain preached organiza tion and said that money was easy to secure for development purposes if conditions were right. Mr. Hanlcy goes to nature for everything and draws his conclu sions from observing Hie bee the ant and other such. Dr. Denmnn again asked per mission to speak and stioke of his regard for the people of this city and that he was not antago nistic. Rev. Dr. Babbidge re sponded to a call from the toast master as did also Dr. Geary. It was almost 1 o'clock when the banquet board was deserted and there was a genuine feeling of better acquaintance and pur pose after the talk fest and feed.

Thousands of dollars worth of supplies are being sent) out of Boise daily to the railroad camps scattered along the right' of way of the new line. The Banks Bros.

He esti-1 mates that probably three years J will be occupied in grading the right of way and laying rails east, and west across the state of Ore gon, bv which time train service can bo operated. Burns, the county seat of Har ney county, which is located just twenty-two miles north of the present trans-Oregon line, was a few days ago promised a branch line by Assistant General Mana ger Carl btradley, ol the Uregon Short Line, as soon as the Ore gon Eastern is completed to Odell. Burns has made the railroad builders an offer of free railroad terminals for the branch line. It is given out here by railroad men connected with the construction work that the branch )ine to Burns will leave tho main line near Dog Mountain, north of Malheur Lake, where Stradley and Harney County bankers have 1000 acres of land for a townsite. The tract is located five or six miles northwest of Narrows, a trading center between the two lakes. The Oregon & Eastern is erect ing a large number of buildings at Vale for the construction de partment, offices, ware houses, bunk houses and other necessary temporary buildings. C. S. Os born, construction engineer, is in charge and expects to have the buildings complete for occupation by next week. Vale has been selected as the chief distributing point for the new road, and all supplies will pass through the railroad officials there.

One of the best programs of the season was presented by members of the "Ibsen" Group, viz: Mrs. Miller, Mrs. Marsden, i uiis. x minium, mm. mcisUiiiien 'and Miss Collins, at the hospita-1 ., i). ,;.. i,. t m-i 11 ble home of Mrs. Wm. Miller on i-enruaryoti. Happy the man who can en - uuru imj niKiiesi anu lowest ior - -i tune. He who has endured such ,., .... ::...,. - mm ciuaiiimii.jf iua deprived misfortune of its power." This thought was brought out in a clear, concise sketch of the life and works of Ibsen by Mrs. Purington. She said in part: "Less about the glaciers and pine forests" he cried, "Less about the dusty legends of the past and more about what is going on in the silent hearts of your breth ren." Here is sounded the note which was ultimately to distinguish "Ibsen" from all the previous writers of the north. That no other man has had the profound intluence upon modern dramatic. ouncei and as large as the big ideals that Henrik Ibsen has. was gest biue Kr0USe. The grouse made evident by Mrs. Purington has a square taii( whiethe phea in her able paper, the secret of Sant has a !onfr lrojnted tail. whose success she said, lies couched in his own werds: "In every new poem or play, I have aimed at my own spiritual eman cipation and purification; for a man shares the responsibility of the guilt of the society to which he belongs." It was in this spirit that he wrote his greatest dramas, viz: "The Doll's House" "Ghosts" and "Peer Gynt," Mrs. Purington closed her paper, leaving this impression with her audience: It is not easy to say exactly what "Ibsen" means to his century. He is dramatist, optomist, pessimest, poet and realist but it must always be borne in mind that although, Ibsen's anneal is to the whole i world yet it is to Norway that he belongs and it is at home that helCOIUeslf is best understood. A Piano Solo-"Solfeggieto" by Bach, was played by Miss Agnes Miller received generous applause. Miss Collins in a most delight ful and original manner interpre ied two of Ibsen's most popular dramas viz: "The Doll's House" and "Gliosis". In her interpretation of "The l Doll's House" She showed that, some of the clearest light"Ibsen" has shed on marriage we get from this play. The kernel of every home is its womanly principle and the kernel of Ibsen's play "The Doll's House" is Nora's character. From this play, Miss Collins taught her hearers that Ibsen loves womanly individuality as mo lnemiiy urawmg promise ior nil our retarded human develop- Homestead Locations Empire Realty V.

She show ed clearly the lessons that Ibsen meant to convey to the world J thru his incomparable "Ghosts," viz: "Every transgression of the law has its sure"punishment, and again "If the end and aim of all literature is to please, then it must be done at the expense of truth." Miss Collins closed her splen did, clear-cut presentation of "Ghosts" as follews: We can not criticise "Ibsen" for his presentation of unplea- sant truths any more justly than we can criticise him for the ex istence of the conditions of society which he holds up for our judg ment. A vocal solo -"A Swan" by Grieg, sung by Mrs. Gault in her usual faultless voice, closed the program. RAPE SPECIMEN OF BIRD. The Journal yg. 0ne of the few speciments known of a , hybirdi bred in the wiI(J state is . ,, uf, a Chinese phea sant and a blue or sooty grouse, which has been received by State Game Warden William Finley from Gene Simpson, superinten dent of the State farm near Cor valis, The bird was shot while feeding with chickens in the barnyard of a farm near the game farm. In its habits it is predominant pheasant as it will feed with chickens near habitations and lives in the fields while the grouse is a timber bird and very shy. It also shows the strength and virility of the pheasant It has no spurs. It is much heavier than a phea sant, weighing three pounds, one The new bird has a tail re sembling that of the pheasant, but not so long. The plumage on the breast has just the touch of the rich hues found on the pheasant, while the lower part of the body resembles that of the grouse; the back has the mixture of the plumage of the two birds. In the blue grouse, the leg is feathered to the toes; in the China pheasant, the leg is bare. In the hybrid form which has been se cured, the leg is feathered half way to the toe. 1 50,000 Bulletins I'or I!o ami Qirls.
