It is time to begin adjusting ourselves to the new order of things the advent of railroads. This should have some consider ation from local men who have the best interests of Burns at heart MARSHALL STROUD SHOT AND KILLED (Coticltultd Prom Tint 1kc) bo much more can vq accom plished by a community that is united we need harmony in Burns and the co-operation of the people of the entire country to make Harney county what it should be. Every one should be a booster for the upbuilding of the country. If you want a prosperous town where people who are disposed to settle and make homes, then do away with and bury from sight all jealousy and spite work, move with the progressive ones for common prosperity and mut ual benefit Do your part in whatever you can, or agree to do, and do it willingly. Don't be a backslider they are more to be pitied than censured. pistol. All the guns were empti ed but few of the shots took ef fect as Stroud was hit but twice, once in the left arm, another struck him in the right sido and a portion of the bullet came out at the left sido, ponotrnting both lungs. Another shot had grazed his right hand. Clay received n llosh wound under the right arm in tho sido but it has caused no serious damage. Stroud was 45 years old and is survived by his aged parents whom ho supported. Ho had boon city marshal for several terms and from what can be learned had caused the enmity of all those implicated in tho shooting at various times before. There had been bad feeling for some time at least and those fam iliar with tho situation wero ex pecting trouble. Lowell and Matheny are now comers and re sided on Cow Creek. The others had resided in Harney for years. These are the facts as nearly as could be ascertained from thoso with whom the writer could talk. The Times-Herald does not be lieve it right to make comment at this time owing to the lack of definite information. It is a mat ter for the courts to settle and as the grand jury will soon meet and circuit court convenes next month, it is not right that this paper give other than just such facts as arc necessary at this time. INEPECTIONTOUR REVEALS PROSPERITY (Cnncliukit I'rom 1'irst t'ogt) pleased to note these improve ments mid indications of prosperi ty. Ho at one timo owned some of tho land on which thoso crops wore raised and ho was astonish ed to note the changcrf for hotter throughout the Valley. Mr. Carpenter and family left Wednesday for their homo in Portland after a very pleasant visit with friends here and they are better pleased with the coun try than over beforo, as it has developed more rapidly than they had thought since they loft over six years ago. Mr. Carpenter was so well pleased with tho country that he made somo in vestments and expressed n do sire to come hero again at some future timo to reside. The Old Time Dance. ADDITIONAL LOCALS. Making Tour Of Oregon Ranches J. Leroy Nickel, vice president of the Pacific Live Stock Co., is in the city having come up from San Francisco by way of Winnc mucca and the company ranches south of here. He is making a tour of the Oregon ranches of the company and this is his first visit He is quite favorably im preseed with this territory.

Gilcrest is also in the party They leave today for the Agency and will also visit the Harper and other Malheur county ranch es. Mr. Nickel may go back by rail from Ontario but possibly will retnrn to Winnemucca in the auto. The "Thirty Year ago Dance" given at Tonawama last night proved a very enjoyable affair. Many of the old time people were present and several were dressed for the occasion. The old dances were the order with appropriate music until 12 o'clock when Carl Wclker went to the piano and finished for the benefit of the younger people. With Dell Dib ble as floor manager, assisted by James Mahon and John Witzell, they all seemed to have a fine time. The quadrille, "heel and toe polka," and like dances prevailed. The house was crowded with dancers and spectators who made merry as in the by-gone days. It brought back pioneer times and several who were present expressed a desire to see pioneer re-unions at regular intervals from this time on. Fair week would be a good time for such and no doubt next year will see the plan inaugurated. China Pheasants to Come at Once The China pheasants promised by State Game Warden Finley are soon to be shinned to the Rod and Gun Club according to a letter Them.e, just received from Mr. Finley by Dr. L. E. Hibbard. Mr. Finley writes that he has asked Gene Simpson of Corvallis to take the matter up with the Club immedi ately and that two dozen pair will be shipped. He further states that if we are in a position to care for them three dozen pair will be shipped us. Those interested should confer with Dr. Hibbard at once as it is desired to get the three dozen if proper care can be taken of the birds but there will be a portion of them kept in captivity until spring. This is a matter that Bhould appeal to the sportsmen of this section as these pheasants are among the very best game birds we can secure and it is im portant that they bo handled with care.

The fact is that we have a fine apple crop here this season and the market is supplied with the local product which accounts for the slow mar ket of the John Day fruit Har ney county raises a great deal of fruit and in a short time there will be none shipped in from other points.

Having cut out the long credit system, we are prepared to give prices which will pay you to buy at home. Kemember, when you buy at home you create a market lor what you have to i sell, no matter wnat it consists 01, wnerner it oe farm products, labor or legal ad vise, you don't help your own com munity, when you go outside to trade; you don't help the farmers when you buy outside flour. Last year many people sent away and went outside to trade. What is the result? The wheels of industry have been idle, no building, no bus iness, no work, no market. Heavy crops are being harvested and still a large portion of the old crop is on hand. It is now time tor the people to get together if they want prosperity at home.
