This the court could find no au thority to do but showed a dis position to help by furnishing the necessary wire netting to build pens and wings. This is right.

This is decidedly tho best bill ever attempted by the local players and as each character has been well cast and tho players well up in their lines it will proven most enjoyable af fair. This will bo a farewell for Mr. Welker who has long been identified with the theatrical performances of this city and as testimonial of their esteem and appreciation of his services there wilLbe-btir house. Carl has a good position with the government in Honolulu as a special harbor guard and has a cnancc to ndvan o as rapidly as his services will justify. Mrs. Welker and littledaughter will remain here for the winter and expect to join him next May. The Tonawama Stock Co., will continuo to play stock during the season, the management having completed arrangements where by some good talent will produce at least one popular play during each month. There will be no attempt to fill Mr. Welker's place at Tonawama for tho present; the management has a good man for the place but as he has a good position in Ios Angeles for tho winter ho will bo permitted to remain during the time of his contract. This gentlemen is one of tho popular theatrical men of the west ami a fine musician for both p'cturcs and orclipstrn. and with his wife who is a gofld act ress, Tonawama will have a fine team that will bo a drawing card of exceptional merri'.

C2tf NEW PRESBYTERIAN r-uiTor'U imp ritdmqi FINE FUTURE FOR FRUIT RAISING NOW rAllWUL DRY FARMER Modern Brick And Stone Structure To Cost $10,000 Will Be Erected On Site Now Occupied By Present Church Friends Respond In Most Liberal Manner With Donations The Presbyterian church of 030 it is the intention to raise this city has had under contem-. rnfire in order to have It properly piation mo erection ot a large modern church building for some time and tho past summer the matter was taken up at n meeting or tho church people and friends. At this meeting a building com mittee was chosen and plans laid for a campaign in tho future. It seemed right to go to work at the present time to ascertain what the sentiment of the busi ness men and friends in this city would do therefore Win. I'arre and Sam Mothershcad circulated a subscription paper and although they have seen comparatively few they have met with such un looked for success that the now church is now an assured fact. With what was available in the church, Indies aid and assistance from tho organization of the Pres byterian church building funds they have now in tho neighbor hood of'$8.000 raised with many of the church friends yet to sco who are sure to subscribe liberal ly. It has been decided to erect the now building on the site now occupied by tho church buildings and the old ono removed or sold. The plans are all in readiness and no doubt a contract will be let in tho near future to have the building contemplated next fall. While the building is to cost $10,- fumished, healing plant, etc, Tho amounts subscribed are to be paid in five equal payments, 20 per cent on Mnrch 1, May, July, September, and November The building committee feels much encouraged over tho liber al manner in which local business men have responded. They will continue the work of soliciting during the remainder of this month and hope to have complet ed by Dec. 1 when the list of subscribers to tho fund will bo published. The people of Burns, have ever shown a liberal disposition in such public matters; they have contributed to the erection of not only the churches of this city but have helped to build school houses in other district, nssisted in roads, or whatever might tend to the betterment of the country in general. They have been the only support toward exploiting the resources of Harney county, sent delegations to various meet ings that had for their purpose the upbuilding of this section; been persistent in their eirortfl for railroad transportation anc promotion of irrigation projects. Such a disposition should be pro perly recognized and rewarded by those who will benefit by it. Can Raise Just As Much And Ax Good Wheat On The Interior Land Yet To Be Taken Up As Other Parts Of The State Is Raising, So Says Prof. Shaw I That winter grain can be grown with splendid results without ir rigation on tho plateaus of con-! tral Oregon, is tho conviction of , Professor Thomas Shaw, agricul- j turista of tho Great Northern and , Northern Pacific railways.

His sou and daughter that he has reared with loving caro may become ungrate ful. Those who are nearest and dearest to us, those whom wo trust with our happiness and our good name, may become traitors to their faith. The money that a man has he may lose, It (lies away when ho may peed it most. Man's reputation may be sacri ficed in a momentof ill considered action. The people who are so prone to fall on their knees and do us honor when success is with us may bo the first to throw tho stone of malice when failure set tles its cloud upon our heads. The ono absolutely unselfish friend a man may have in thta selfish world, tho ono that never deserts him, the one that never and tlie 25.000,000 bushels of wheat harvested in that state this season may bo attributed largely to tho successful experi ments carried on by Professor Shaw sinco 1909. It is said that if there over was a man who could make two blades of grass grow where ono grew before, Professor Shaw is that man. "Central Oregon, is a most wonderful country," said Pro fessor Shaw in tho Journal, "and the possibilities for development aro immense. There is no more fertile soil to be found uny where, for tho volcanic ash is more en during than any other kind of soil that wo know of nnd the en tiro central Oregon country con sists of volcanic ash. "Nearly all the grain crops in central Oregon should be winter crops, not only winter wheat, but winter rye, oats, barley and vetch. Tho climate may be too severe in a few places, but only in a vory few.

Instances have been brought to mind during this season of tho successful raising of fruit and shows it can be raised and at a good profit. Another matter that is in its favor is the firmness and good keeping quality of homo grown products. One orchard in this valley has brought the owner over $1200 this season and this is but ono of several that can be made to pro duce well. Heretofore little at tention has been given fruit in this section as it was considered too risky to attempt on any large scale, but with proper care and on tracts favorably situated we can and will produce all tho fruit necessary for the homo trade right in this country. Those who have put out trees have not given them any care with few exceptions and there foie the orchards havo not been given a fair show to they would do.

When all other friends desert, he remains. When riches take wings and reputation falls to nieces he is as constant in his love as the sun in its journey thru the heavens. If fortune drives tho master forth an out cast into tho world, friendless and homeless, the faithful dog asks no higher privilege than that of nccompauing him, to guard ngainst danger, to fight against his enemies, nnd when tho last scene of all comes nnd death takes his master in its em brace and his body is laid away in tho cold ground, no matter if all other friends pursue their way, there hy his gravesulo will the noble dog be found, his head une great weaitness in cen tral Oregon is that the people as a rule do not seem to realize the great importance of properly preparing the soil for a crop. It shouid be kept clean, above all things, nnd then it will retain the moisture. "Milo mnisc, corn, alfalfa and potatoes should bo spring sown crops. Alfalfa will soon be one of the most important crops of central Oregon. It will be grown for hny and seed. Alfalfa grown , on non-irrigated lands produces better seed than that grown un-1 der irrigation. Under the dry farming system nlfalfa must bo ' grown in rows like corn and cul-1 tivated much in the same manner, i "Observations lead me to be lieve that in central Oregon west i gave tho matterjany serious thot, except in rare cases. While we are going to lead the procession county can raise the best. It .in grain, alfalfa and stock wo need not fall behind in fruit? Especially is this true of the small varieties. Strawberries, raspberries, currants, gooseber ries and such fruit do remark ably well in this section and all the hardy apples are a success. Don't overlook the family or chard when planning the farm in the future in Harney county. It should have a place in the calcu lations and with proper care it will be the best piece of ground on the place that is it will not be most profitable, perhaps, but will be a source of pride and satisfaction. , Prof. Shaw has had some very .interesting interviews in the I Portland papers since his last vis it to this section and each utter ance is more sanguine of the greatness of interior Oregon than former talks. He knows what he is talking about and the grow th pf Montana in grain producing, to which ho refers so often will be but a drop compared to this big country with its 9,000, 000 acres of land yet to be put into cultivation.

These 10,000, 000 acres would produce 120,000, 000 bushels of wheat, or more than twice aa much as is now produced by tho entire Pacific northwest section.
