Tfcra Monlha $2,00 1.00 .75 The Times-Herald man has been out in the country more or less this week and finds crops are coming on in fine shape. The backward weather of the early spring kept vegetation back but it seems to have been just what it needed rather than a detriment. Almost every field in this vicinity shows excellent prospects for an exceptional crop. The fruit trees are es pecially full and wc may expect the finest display of fruit at the fair this fall we have yet had. Those who were not inclined, and others who were prevented by various reasons from attend ing other celebrations on the fourth were well pleased with the one recently pulled off here at home Every merchant and citizen who donated toward this occasion can well feel repaid, as it was a worthy cause and one which gave a full days enjoy ment and pleasure to many who could not go elsewhere and who would have otherwise missed the customary celebration. Consid ering the short time in which the celebration was gotten up, it was all and more than expected. T h e following paragraphs Manager slou,l Jmve bCQn a part 0f (),0 .article published on the first page but were overlooked in the "makeup" of the outside pages: Thocrojis were put in at diff erent rates of seeding to test the rates of seeding on rather dry soil. The two peck seedings of grain do not sjiow effect from the lack of moisture as yet, but the four and six peck seeding!, almost invariably, are showing drouth and can hardly be ex pected to mature. A fine rabbit proof fence is now about the place. It was put in first in July. Before the com pletion or this fence, a great deal of trouble came from the rabbits. Considerable damage was done, especially to field peas and nrti chokes. Sub-Stations have been located at Waverly under the care of Mr. Duncan; Harriman under the care of Mr. Latha; Valley View under the care of Mr. Clyde Schaffer; and at Sunset under the care of Mr. Hency. Other Sub-Stations arc to be located at Drewsey, Silver Valley, and Cat low Valley in the near future. 'these Sub-Station are of ten acres each, fenced against rab bits. They will be operated in co-operation with and under the same management as the Experi ment Station. Such crops as arc pretty well proven to bo adnptcd to the country will be introduced and grown. They will carry tho work of tho Station at Burns to the farmers. HARNEY COUNTY GIRL'S EASTERN TOUR Best canned corn $3.25 a case Harriman Mercantile Co. Geo Buchanan and wife were in from the station Thursday. S. F. Jenkins has been over from his Calamity creek home this week. Lena Harkey has alfalfa hay for sale at her place adjoining Burns on the north. $7.00 a ton in the field, or delivered for $8.50 The people of Burns should not neglect the bond election to bo held the last of the month. This is a matter that should have care ful consideration as it is impor tant the charter be amended to provide for bonds that we may have water works and sewerage. It will not be a burden to proper ty owners but rather add to the value of every home and business property in the city. Mrs. F. E. Dickinson was a caller at this office Thursday and invited Tho Times-Herald man up to see their farm in tho hills to tho west of this city. Mr, Dickinson has one of the best dry farms in this section and has made a success. He now has about 100 acres in alfalfa and an unusual thing has happened, one that seldom comes to the notice of one on a dry farm. Thoy have u large acreage of alfalfa that is too thick and want to know how to get rid of it. Tho dry season last year had no effect upon kill ing ft out and the plants uho up the moisture before they get any heighth. They also have somo Tall Meadow Oats that aro too thick. Wo would suggest that somo of our dry farmers visit this farm and get somo pointers on how to put in crops, for it is the usual complaint that it is im possible to get a stand, rather ADDITIONAL LOCALS. r Tlnrn Wndnnoflnv .Tnlt 10 in Mr. and Mrs. Mrs. Henry Dalton, a son.

James Paul, the Happy Valley sheep man, was in tho city this week attending to some busi ness and greeting his old time friends. J. M.

Tho Times-Herald man was one of several local people who mado a short trip over tho country in company with C. C. Chapman and party yestorday afternoon. The orchard of R. J. McKinnon was visited and the party came back down tho opposite sldo of tho river and passed somo very promising fields of grain, field peas, garden and hay crops.

I at once made up my mind to make tho effort to go and altho the time was short, (barely three weeks) through the kindness and gener osity of the people of Harney county and other friends I Waa ready with my subscription when tho first of June camo and I had to leave for Portland. The trip to Portland was very pleasant. I met Mr. Bates and the arrangements for my trip were completed. On Wednes day June 5th, the Portland Ad Club gave us a luncheon at the Multnomah Hotel at which over five hundred wore present. There were some good speeches and they gave us a good sendoff. After luncheon wo were invit ed by Mr. Frieman, Cashier of tho Lumbermans Bank, to visit that institution and see the work ings of a big bank. Wo were shown thru the vaults and per mittcd to hold for a moment ten thousand dollars in gold coin. After this wo were taken for a trip to Council Crest, one of the great scenic resorta of Portland, and after being photographed wo were shown all tho wonders of the Scenic Railway as well aa a "Trip up tho Columbia" and everything wc cared to see. Tho next morning ut about ten found us at tho depot ready to begin our trip. Wo found our special car beautifully decorated with roses, tho work of the Col lego Equal Suffrage Club of Portland. After bidding our friends good-bye wo were on our journey. We reached Chicago on Sunday and as wo were to remain thero three hours wo visited tho Art museum. i'ow oi us nau over visited so largo a museum and wo found it very interesting. Wo left on an nfternoon train, reaching Detroit at 10:30 that evening. Next morning wo were met by friends of Mr. Batca who showed us around tho city in automobiles. Wc also went for a rido around Bello Islo which is about a milo from tho city. This is a very beautiful place. Locat ed at tho center of the Island Is n conservatory, in ono depart ment of which is an acquariam. In this department wo Baw over a hundred different kinds of fish which was very interesting to all of us. The Le Moyno Stock Company will ho at tho Tonawamu theatre next week, beginning on Wed nesday, July 17, in a high class repertoire of comedies and dramas. This is n very strong company of 11 players and tho people of Burns may feel sure of somo good entertainment. On Wednesday a balloon ascen fiinn will take place in this city ono of tho Lo Moyno ' company making tho ascent. This will bo a treat for our people who noldom havo tho opportunity to sco an air ship, and tho pcoplo living in tho country should come in. Tho company will play for a week at tho opera houso with a change of program each night. Admission prices aro tho samo ns nave prevailed at tno house in the past. Advance snles will begin Monday at the box office. AGRICULTURE IN THE HIGH SCHOOL. Tho Times-Herald has a letter from Judgo Thompson in which he suites tho court wishes to con sider tho proposition of adding agriculture and domestic science to tho regular high school course at an adjourned meeting of court set for July 20. Ho invites nn expression from tho people cither by letter, petition or in person This is nn excellent suggestion that our pcoplo should take ad vantago of and lot the court know their feelings. Tho propo sition of finnncing this addition to tho present course is one that requires attention. Mr. Saw hill, who is one of tho C. G Chapman party, states that tho Crook county court has appro priated $250 toward a special short course for tho coming year and it is the intention to see other county courts in tho Inter ior and ask for a similar appro priation. In case this is secured tho Agricultural College will send out professors to spend a consid erable time in each county, bring ing tho usual short course given at the college to the people. This is nn excellent move that will solve the problem for this season nnd at tho January term arrange ments may be made to put the regular course in school. The city council hns taken steps to build a new side walk from tho entrance of the fair grounds to the new school build ing. This will be of great con venience to tho people living in that portion of tho city as they now have to come over toward tho business portion of tho city to get to the now school building. Tho walk will run north from the gate at tho fair grounds passing in front of tho Randall and Fnrro residences in Morrison's addi tion. HISTORY REPEATS ITSELF Tho sworn statements of Life Insurance Companies pn file at the State Insuranco Department, Snlem, show that In 1909, 1910, 1911, Oregon Lite the Only Life Insuranco Company Exclusively Oregon, sold more policies in Oregon than nny other company. In 1912 Oregon Life is surpass ing all its previous records. UEST TOR OREGONIANS E. C. Egolhston, 35 Agent I want to draw the attention of tho people to tho manner in which the Oregon & Western Colonization Co. offer their land for lease. The lcaao is an in strument drawn so ns to cover everything for their own benefit, and none for tho renter. But that is not enough. You will find a clause inserted, that, any time during your lease on 30 dayB notice, you will havo to movo off. Now then gentlemon you nil know, that this land is nil cover ed with sago brush, and hns to bo cleared before wo can uso it, nlso we have to fence the land. Can you do this in 30 days, nnd got nny benefit from your lenso? No. Docs tho Bo-callcd 0. & W. C. Co agrco to pay for work? No. Thoy simply any get off in 30 days, and by signing their form of lease, you ngrco to do so. Now if this is called colonizing n country nnd giving tho pcoplo a chance to make good thoy will havo to show me. Again you may havo tho land plowed in the fall expecting to put your crop in in the spring, but between fall and spring you get this notice, whnt will you do. Movo off of course or have trouble. To lease this company's land is n farce, and has no weight pertaining to good for the renter, so beware. Gentlemen, I had a notice from tills company served on me tho first day of this month to move off in 10 days and my crop of be tween 25 nnd 30 acres is just heading out what do you think oi tno gall; and they nnd no lease signed by me either. After such work ns this the people can expect anything. If the 0. &. W. C. Co. think they can move this crop of barley off in 10 days and it just heading out I want to sco how they do it But by their actions you ull can sco what their intentions are, to "gull" tho Oregon people if pos sible. Take the lease and read itjhcn tack the 30 dnys notice clause to it, and what have you, I call it an unfair, dirty, rotton paper to place before the public and nsk them to sign it. This is only an explanation of the leasing proposition. If the readers of this paper aro interes ted in this matter there will he another piece in next week's is suo calling your attention to the manner in which this land is sold and how thoy camo to have this land to handle and the kind of titlo they hold then you can judgo for yourselves whether you are safe in buying or not T1103.
