b r I 1 CITY OF BURNS The Biggest City In The Biggest COUNTY OF HARNEY The Biggest County In The State County In The State Of Oregon I r Of Oregon, Bert In The West I VOL XXVII BURNS, HARNEY COUNTY, OREGON, JULY, 18, 1914 NO. 36 r (T ' o 1M i?Mr I 2S i I T 111 PR W'Jw ww)$)J (Sl ' ' T RALROAD EXTENSION WORK QUITE ACTIVE Active work According to News From Various Sources Tends to Confirm The Assertion Made by The Times- Herald Two Weeks Ago That Ex tension Would Continue on West Railroad news from various sources this week seem to con firm the assertion made in The Times-Herald of two weeks ago that the railroad work is to be continued on west from Riverside without delay. The following is taken from a recent issue of the Portland Journal and is a part of a press dispatch sent from Ontarie: A report from Juntura states that a contract for 40 miles of road bed on the Oregon and Eastern has been let west of Riverside toward log Mountain and work will commence at once. There are seven bridges over the Malheur river in the canyon between Juntura and Riverside, and when . they are completed, some time in August, train ser vice will be extended to Riverside These bridges are all of heavy main line construction and the 85 pound steel rails are being laid for the track. The pay roll on the work averages $1000 a day. The Ontario Argus says: H. W. Young, engineer in charge of the construction work on the the lines west of here, and J. C. Clarkson, general manager of the Oregon Bridge Company, with the contract for all the bridges on this line and others near Boise, were here Wednes day morning. Mr. Young said they are now working day and night on the bridges between Juntura and Riverside and will have the line open for business sometime in August. There are seven large bridges. averaging 500 feet long between these two pojnts, many engineering and construc tion difficulties and is about the most expensive in the state. The grade has beenbuilt several miles beyond Riverside and it seems to be the general impres sion that the grade will be ex tended to Dog Mountain soon as they can get steam shovels in to work on the cut through Crane Creek gap. Market Report. Receipts for last week at the Portland Union Stock Yards have been cattle, 1356; calves. 111; hogs, 1994; sheep, 7527.

Other plans made it impossible for the manager of this great religious weekly to attend the picnic at the oil well last Sunday, but we learn it was a complete success and that there were over 150 visitors spent the day there and that they all had a good time. People came from Burns, Nar rows, Sunset, Diamond and other points and while there was no program of a fixed nature all were entertained royally and had a fine dinner. The object of the picnic was to get the people to gether, see the machinery at the well at work and take part in a picnic dinner, the proceeds from the dinner to go toward buying an organ for the Sunday school in the Dog Mountain district. Mrs. Chas. Newell was the mov ing spirit in the affair it seems and she was assisted by several of her neighbors. The big drill is down between 1200 and 1500 feet now and the work is being prosecuted as rap idly as the men in charge can do it. The prospects for oil still continue favorable and the man agement is encouraged. It is not expected to find any oil at the present depth but from indi cations at the present time a good flow may be found even nearer the surface than had been hoped BABY LOST 48 HOURS IN THE MOUNTAINS FOUND Child Less Than Two Years Old With a Young Dog as Companion, Spends Two Nights and Days Wandering In the Hills Without Food.

At Gordon Falls they were met by a delegation from Portland headed by County Com missioner Holman and after a picnic luncheon had been dispos ed of they were shown 'over the most scenic portion of the high way. After an afternoon spent in this inspection, Roy D. Smith of Hood River, one of the leaders in the movement for better roads, prophesied that the Hood River bond issue would carry 3 to 1. "This road project has never been put up to me in the right way before," said Mr. Smith; "I've come to the conclusion that good roads are money in our pockets far more in amount than their cost" Oregon merchants will be en tertained by the jobbers and manufacturers of Portland Aug. 10-15 during Buyers' Week when the buyers of merchandise and supplies from all over the Pacific Northwest will be gathered in Portland to make annual purchas es. Banquets, luncheons, recep tions, a smoker and automobile rides about the city are on the program. The underlying pur pose of Buyers' Week is to devel op the buy-at-home spirit, not only as it applies to Portland but to every community of the Pacific Northwest. To arouse greater interest in their plans, the officials of the land show to be held in Portland next fall will offer a first prize of $200 and a second prize of 75 for the best special exhibit by counties. By arrangements with the state fair officials, exhibits from Douglas, Iane, Polk Mar ion, W'ashjpKHi, Multnomah Tillamook, Clackamas, Umatilla, Wasco, Wallowa, Wheeler and Morrow counties have already been arranged for, At I Mi jraiuit! it has been decid ed to build a new exhibit hall near the depot, The building will be of modern design and will be so located that its contents can readily be seen from all trains. It will include an office for the county agriculturist, who will have charge of the exhibit. What is regarded as the record return for one acre of cherries has been reported from Hood River where the grpwer received $1300 for the crop on one acre of Royal Annes. This was the net Amount received after all expen ses of picking nd marketing had been paid. The child was accompanied by a young Shepard dog which cer tainly is entitled to the safety of the little one. The searchers found where the two had spend the first night out right in a road some two or more miles from the camp, but all trace was lost soon after that point was passed. iMtor the tracks were found fur ther away and then again nearer the camp. Kvidently the dog had gotten the child back toward home at some time during their wandering but it had again taken the opposite direction and the second niht had been spent at the Sylvester cabin on Skull creek at least six or seven miles from where it had strayed away. From indications the little one had spent the second night in this cabin but the father does not think he found the water until the second morning. Mr. Turner found the tracks of the child and dog and looked for a long time, finally going on by for some distance, but upon returning happened to see the dog down an embankment of several feet and truing to the place found the baby sitting in the water The dog seemed friendly and glad to see Mr Turner but when he attempt ed to pick up the child the dog bit his clothing. After the little one hud been restored to its par ents the faithful dog showed his i delight and appreciation by mak 'iriK up quite friendly with the I rescuer, making such demonstra tion as would leave no doubt of I his gratitude, Tl,.. ,.l.;i. utnn l.,-.....,l.t fti l!.,r. i II v viiiiu jrna ,'j hii,.iii lu uui no in one of the autos that carried the searchers up and a physician found it to be very little the worse for its adventure and un less some complications appear he will soon be himself. Those who took part in the The fortunate finding of a child less than two years old after it had been lost in the hills for almost 48 hours, without food und most of the time without water, and then to find it in a pool of shal low water, alive and to all ap pearance little the worse for. its experience, is remarkable. On last Tuesday afternoon about 4 o'clock Mrs. J. L Patter son, who is in camp with her hus band in the hills northwest of Burns about 17 miles, missed her two year old son. She started out to look for him and searched until night but with no success. She has a two months old babe and could not prosecute the search during the night as she was exhausted and alone, the husband having me to Burns with a load of wood and did not return until the following day. There were no neighbors within many miles, therefore the dis tracted mother had to bear it alone until the husband came. Both took up the search and ful ly expected to find the child almost any moment as it was not thought the child could have gotten far from the camp but they were unsuccessful, there-; fore early Thursday morning i they got word down to Burns' and a large number resK)nded. There were between 86 and 40 1 men went out that morning and the territory thoroughly searched j but at noon the baby had nut been found. After lunch it was decided that those on boibsback should widen the circle and visit some of the places where water could be found and see what v i -dence could be discovered of the whereabouts of the child. Be-I tween 1 and 2 o'clock Arthur I Turner found the child on Skull creek about 7 miles from where it had wandered away, the baby j the baby being in the water up I search have estimated the child to its arm pits and almost ex-land its faithful companion trav hausted from exposure and its eled at least 10 and Possibly 12 long fast. miles during their wandering. Friends and relatives were sur prised and grieved to hear of the death of R. F. Claypool at his home on Cottonwood, Wednesday morning at 4:45, July 8.

When you have trouble with your stomach or chronic consti pation, don't imagine that your case is beyond help just because your doctor fails to give you re lief. Mrs. C. Stengle. IMainfield, N. J., writes, "For over a month past 1 have been troubled with my stomach. Fverything I ate upset it terribly. One of Cham berlain's advertising booklets came to me. After reading a few of the letters from people who had been cured by Chamber lain's Tablets, I decided to try them. I have taken nearly three fourths of a package of them and can now eat almost every thing that I want." For sale by all dealers. Features and comedy picture at Tonawama tomorrow night. BY JOS. F. RAKER. From early afternoon of the preceding day until late in the day of the fourth a steady stream of men, women and children kept coming in. They came in various ways, some in automobiles, some on horseback, in buggies and in hacks, but the majority in heavy farm wagons, until a crowd of nearly five hundred souls were assembled to help celebrate our first 4th of July. Promptly at 10:30 the days' proceedings were started by an oration delivered by the Hon. Frank Davey of Burns. The speech-making was brought to a sudden end, however, by an un timely visit of his Majesty, Jupi ter Pluvius, with a heavy thun der shower. Dinner was served immediately afterwards. Following this came the sports. First on the list came the horse races. Perry Lowe won first prize with Roy Skienes second. Again J. Pluvius butted in with a heavy shower. After a short delay the baseball game took place. Two teams composed of the married men, headed by J. F. Raker, and the single men cap tained by Wesley Snyder, played an interesting game, the score being 13 to 6 in favor of married men. The features of the game were the playing of Lon Richardson for the single men and the coaching of Jimmy Donegan for the married men. After the ball game came the foot races. 100 yards for men.

It was the intention of the en tertainment committee to have several other events such as sack races, tug of war, pie eating-con test, etc., but on account of the frequent interruptions by rain these had to be given up. Supper was then announced. Immediately after supper danc ing commenced which lasted un til 5:30 a m. Then came break fast after which the crowds rap idly dispersed to their homes, this being our busy' season with lots of work on hand. This being our first attempt everything passed off remarka bly well and owing to the untir ing efforts of the various com mittees in charge the whole cele bration was voted by one and all a grand success. Our next effort will be to try and get rid of some of the rab bits. Whole fields this year have been destroyed and though indi vidual efforts. with poison and lead help some there is nothing like a united effort. Lets all take a hand and see the difference next year.
