Bright and early in tho morn ing tho sun rose in all its shining splendor, easting its warm rays of light upon earth and mankind, 1 inspiring ono and all with the ! ideal morning and giving vent to I tho sacred day of reverence, and i the duty before us. j Under the blue canopy of the Heavens and with tho radiant ,rays of old Sol spreading its light of gladness upon us, nil i was soon activity. Old Glory was flung to the breeze by a number of business houses, and it floated proudly in tho air, ono could not help feeling inspired j with tho day's devotion to tho cause held sacred by friends far and near. At 9 a. m. tho assembly call was given, and in a brief apace of time the Tonawama Hand marched to a position in main street were they played several patriotic and appropriate selec tions while the parade was being formed and different positions assigned to those who participat ed. As the band played their I first tune it was the signal that ! the exercises were on, and the I crowd immediately responded. I At the conclusion of the music, the parade was formed into line i and marched to the cemetery in I the following order headed by Old Glory and its guard: Colers: Commander, Carl W. Welker.

Proprietors, llurnii iKSiiis.i35- President Davidson of tho Ore gon & Western Colonization Co. arrived hero Tuesday accompa nied by a party of Great North ern resresontntives. They were: E. C. Leedy, Gonornl Immigra tion Agont; F. W. Graham, West ern Industrial and Immigration Agent; C. C. Morrison, Immigra tion Agent and lecturer who ac companies tho exhibit "trains and attends tho land shows; C. B. Griflln, Immigration Agent who has charge of tho Oregon exhibit cur Inst season; T. L. McDonald, Chief Clerk for Mr. Leedy; A. K. Hardgrove, Exhibit Director. All these gentlemen with tho excep tion of Mr. Graham have head quarters at St. Paul. When asked the object of the trip Mr. Leedy told Tho Times Herald that they desired to get information first hand respecting this territory. The party lenre scnts the publicity department of tho Great Northern Railway and will do more toward attract ing people to this section and ad vertising our resources than any other set of men on similar work. They were busy nil tho time they were here asking questions nnd making observations. Tuesday nfcrnoon the party went to Harrimnn by way of Lawen where they spent the night returning around the north ern part of the valley. They covered a big territory and saw some fine land. All wero anxious to got any information that would help the country in a pub licity way and almost every busi ness house in this city was viait- The citizens of this city desired to tender them a formal recep tion but Mr. Leedy asked that this be dispensed with as they could get such information ns they desire by interviewing peo ple and nothing could be accom plished nt a gathering other than show tho appreciation of our peeple: this they were aware of and he further assures our people of the kindly feeling tho party had for courtesies shown them. iuv puny tiaiti'ii jim uimuiij respecting homestead lands in this section, tho dry farm expen- ments, the success of tlio present farmers, the cost of locating on homesteads, and in fact every-' thing that would fie of benefit to them in directing homeseekers to the Big Harney Country. Mr. Leedy says these trips are of much greater benefit to them and the country than many would realize. They can tell people of what they have actually seen and with having met with peo ple in the interior country. Mr. Hardgrove prepares all their ex hibits at tho hind shows nnd cars and he and Mr. Graham went in to detail with tho secrotary of tho Fair Association respecting the character of exhibit desired from this section following tho fair this fall. Mr. Hardgrove will wiro a letter to bo publish ed in Tho Timcs-IIcrnId in the near future giving minute in structions to exhibitors ns to how to prepare their displays at tho fair this fall- information that will bo of great benefit to both the exhibitor and the Fair Asso-elation. Mr. Leedy assured tho fair management that ho would uso his influence, and wo may rest assured of its being to our ad vantage, with Mr. Hill and an other silver cup to bo given away at tho fair this fall. It will bo given under similar conditions as last year, for tho best general exhibit of ono individual of farm, irarden nnd fruit products. When told of the addition to tho pre mium list of tho school children industrial exhibit Mr. Leedy! showed much interest and it was suggested that wo could liso more Hill ribbons this fall. Ho told tho secretary to send in an order for all tho ribbons ho required. This aasures tho school children nn additional prize as each first and second winner will receive a handsome Great Northern rib bon. Tho parly loft Thursday morn- Contractors Called to Vale Prepare For Immediate Construction of Oregon & Eastern Railroad A private letter just, received in this city from Vulo un dor lato of May 110, it to definitely announced that ordeiH have been iHHiiod for the iui mediate eoiiHtruotion of 80 inileHof tlio Oregon & 'lOiiHtern Railroad woHt to tlio Har ney Valley. lb had been rumored, in thin city during the week that Work inJUalhour canyon' luuhijejMed and the impreHHion wiih general that no more eoiiHtruotion was contemplated for tho present. Tho information jiiHt reeoived Htaten that tho men wore called back to Vale to begin laying railH for necenHury sidings and on that portion of the roadbed west now complete Steel for this purpose is now in the yardB at Vale. This is a wolcomo announcement to the people of this section and will add greatly to the influx of homeseokorH and capitalists to the Big Harney Country where the de velopment of vast resources have been rotarded through lack of transportation. The announcement means that tho big irrigation projects which will impound the waste water will bo immediately constructed, covering thousands of fertile acres with a system that, will cost less than half what users are paying for water on other reclamation pro jects. It means tho cutting up of largo land holdings into tracts for the homo builder. In fact it is the beginning of an era of great prosperity and advancement.

Scuddcr of Stale Agricultural College "Four fifths of tho settlors who nro homesteading the dry farming lands of Crook nnd Har ney counties will make a failure if they keep on with the methots thoy nro now following. Prac tically every ono of them could make a success if ho would farm tho way ho Bhould." That is tho message of Prof essor II. D. Scuddor, of tho Agri cultural College. Professor Scud- der knows what ho is talking about. Agriculturally he is tho best im formed man in Oregon. Ho knows, at first huud, nil tho acctions of Central Oregon. Ho is intimately familiar with their soil, their climate, rainfall, draw backs and advantages. That is not a discouraging mes sage. It !b really ono vastly en couraging. After he stated that nearly every man in the home stead country would fail, un'css ho farms ns he should farm, Professor Scudder added, even more emphatically, that with proper treatment every rancher in tho southeast country can readily make a success, and that that territory can rank as a grain producer with Wnsco ond Sher man counties, spys the Bend Bulletin. As in every new country, nl ready in some districts there has been a "crop" of homesteaders, who either have abandoned their claims or sold out. They blame tho frosts, lack of rainfall or hard pan, for their failure. In reality these discouraged men hnvc nothing to blame but them selves. They simply didn't know how. They didn't realize that they had to make an investment build a plant - before they could turn out marketable goods. ?VttP Utti litJIi llllill IiiiL'U 1111111 jtiivj v;ii; i'uvi t'tit?t ii iiiv.iia Frosts, small rain fall, hardpan and other petty matters an; ridi culed by Professor Scudder. They are merely excuses for fail ure, he says. Tho matter is" ono of business. To get results, the homesteaders must first build up the plant which is to turn out what they wish to sell. Tho plant in funda mental manufacturing establish ment, tho soil. The product is grain. To produce grain with full success in n country whoso rainfall is less than 20 inches it is essential that every iossible bit of moisture be concerved. There lies the secret of the entire matter in the southeast country, und in every dry-farm section, says Professor Scudder. Care for the moisture properly and good grain crops arc assured. With a positive statement like that from a man who knows, it is worth while to pay heed. Marvelous Musical Ability Proficiency Displayed by Younger Element of Burns at Tonawama Tuesday Evening in Recital To tho satisfaction and delight of tho parents, and many friends of the little children of Burns, nnd also tho young ladies and gentlemen who took part in the joint recital of the classes in vo cal and instrumental music at tho TonawnmnThcatrolnst Tues day evening under the supervis ion of MrB. II. W. McIIoso and Mrs M. V. Dodge, the program as planned and prepared for the public was given without the least disappointment or mar, and to state it was merely good would bo putting it rather mildly-in fact it was beyond expectation, and .par excellence in extreme. That the training of our young er generation is in the hands of most skillful and painstaking teachers, is evident to even tho most skeptical and the results obtained and displayed at the re cital given as before stated waa almost beyond belief, yet was gratifying in the extreme. Those in attendance were loud in praises of the good work ac complished thus far, and pleased beyond expression to note the rapid advancement and progress in proficiency displayed by all on the program rendered to the pub lic last Tuesday evening. It wns manifest from the be ginning, that the pupils had been well taught and an excellent foundation for future develop ments along this line had been laid, and was an assurance of ultimate results, and would bear abundant fruit and repay tho student for their earlier patience and perseverence, as well as the teachers. Mrs. M. V. Dodge, instructress of the violin and Mrs. H. W. Mc Hose, vocalist and pianoist, can woll feel proud of tho showing made and tho splendid manner in which members of the class dis tinguished themselves on this occasion, and have every reason to feel encouraged over tho artis tic and precise appearance the students as a whole presented on this special-occasion andcovered themBelves with glory. The class was the admiration of the music loving public of Burns and we do not hesitate to state that their equal would be difficult to to duplicate In the state, consid ering point of age and advant age, and if accomplishment counts for advancemect in thin line of vocation, we truly believe our little ones are in a class by themselves and are deserving of all credit and encouragemet pos sible. It would be an injus ice on our part to make mention of any par ticular point of proficiency, as it waa all good exceedingly good, and the impression made by the class upon this, their first public appearance, was faultless and worthy of pupils years advanced therefore it behooves us to re frain from further cxaultation. Considering the age of the lit tle ones, it was truely marvelous the manner in which tone and technique predominated in almost .every instance and especially in the work of little Miss Folley, who is justly entitled to special mention, as her work on tho violin simply charmed the aud ience from start to finish and called forth repeated encores. Considering she is merely 11 years of age and with a little over a years study, her work is most commendable indeed, and (Continued on page 4) THE FRENCH HOTEL under new management John R.
