TWt.Mo.tK. 2,00 1.00 .75 After witnessing; the land and products show at Portland and seeing the exhibits of tho aevertJ counties that participated MM It impressed with this method of publicity and the writer r that Harney county did not par ticipate. However, the writer finds we are more talked of just at present not only in Portland but also in San Francirco at the Oregon building at the fair, than any other county in tho state. Harney county is on the map but had we realized the remarka ble yield of crops during the PMtt season and had taken advantage of the opportunity for more pub licity we should have received big returns. Morrow county took first prize at the show with Polk second, then followed other eastern Oregon counties. Union. Malheur, Baker, Wallowa and others. Malheur county con lin'd itself to an exhibit of alfalfa ami corn entirely with no embelish- ments and one was surprised to see how it attracted. In fact the writer was astonished to see the corn display as he hadn't seen better since he left Missouri. The Bend Bulletin suggest to their local Commercial Club that they invite Mr. Strahorn to come to Bend and tell of his plans and what he desires in the way of co-operation in the building of the railroad through Central Ore gon, thus securing first hand in formation and getting on common ground. The suggestion is a good one and while they are at it let the local railnad get busy and second the Bend invitation by in viting Mr. Strahorn to Burns and thus kill two birds with one stone The Times-Herald has nothing to gain directly from the appoint- mant of a county agriculturist, but is interested in the develop ment of farming therefore is somewhat disappointed that there is so little interest shown in the matter. The expense is slight and the possibilities great. Of course if the farmers do not show a disposition to insist upon a county agriculturist the court will not make any provisions for one. Railroad Dope. The Portland Chamber of Com merce News makes this comment anent the railread: In the con struction of the Oregon Califor nia & Eastern Railway materials will be used that are largely home products. If the sum of $1,600,000 asked of Oregon in financing the project is put up, the money will come right back where it was secured. It will be like transferring $1,000,000 from pocket to pocket in the same pair of trousers. The raising of that sum of money is necessary i snow uregon s taith in the m pire that will produce $150,000. 000 annually. The prompt rais ing of that sum will make it possible to secure the balance of $4,500,000 from Eastern sources. And probably from 65 to 75 per cent of the eastern money will remain in this state. These advantages are, however, only the temporary ones. Per manent benefits will be realized when the railroad is in full opera tion snd the great quantities of land products grown east of the Cascade mountains begin to move to market. Portland will be the gateway for outgoing shipments, and at the same time a splendid market will be opened in Central and Southeastern Oregon for those articles of commerce that are handled by Portland merch ant. Eighty-five per cent of the goods now consumed in South- The Oregon Country, of Port land had this to say in its latest issue: -"The proposed new rail road in Central Oregon radiating in three directions from Bend is logical and will unquestionably become a reality in the near fu ture. The sum involved in its construction is exceedingly small in comparison to its earning caps city. The fact that the man be hind it is one of Oregon's real railroad buildsrs-R. E. Strahorn -gives it the stamp of reliability "The business interests of the state cannot overlook this latest move in their behalf. "Every mile of railroad that is constructed means so much de velopment and resultant cash in their pockets. We hear the same objections to this road that were manifest at the time other roads, long since huge successes, were contemplated. These are the bleats of the pessimist and the pessamist in civil life is the cow ard in the army. Every eneour agement should be given Strn horn and his associates. Oregon needs more railroads and the particular sections through which the proposed road is to traverse "will blossom like the rose" when transportation will be at its door. . Addition Locals.

(Contributed) The first wedding ever occur ring in Catlow Valley was sol emnized at the Pioneer school house on Sunday night, Nov. 7th. The contracting parties were Charles E. Bradley and Miss Joy Moore and the ceremony was per formed by Bev. Baird of Baker. The wedding psrty entered the room to the strains at s march played by Miss May Byram snd af tor a few welKchosen remarks by the minister the couple were made one. (The parts of best man and bridesmaid were ably enacted by W. M. Csrrctt snd Miss Edith Beckley. The groom is a substantial young homesteader of the south part of the Valley and the bride is the estimable daughter of Charles Moore of Berdugo. The Times-Herald Catlow reporter voices the sentiment of the en tire community in wishing these young people a long, prosperous and happy life. )eveloping Harney Valley. Hear te Preveet Croup. It may be a snrprise to you to learn that in many cases croup can be prevented. Mrs. H. M. Johns, Elidia, Ohio, relates her experience as follews: "My lit tle boy is subject to croup, Dur ing the past winter I kept a bot tle of Chamberlain's Cough Rem edy in the house, and when he began having thsteroupy cough I would give him one or two doses of it snd it would break the attack. I like it better for children than sny other cough medicine because children take it willingly, and it is ssfe and easrern Oregon are shipped in reliable." Sold by all dealers. To the Bditor:The develop ment and settlement of the Har ney Valley is the hope and desire generally of its people. True there are a few individual resi dents and land owners, as are to be found in every community, who are satisfied with present conditions. In order to assure adequate transportation it is necessary to show an intention and ability to develop in manner and to extent proving a reasonable chanct for business that would eventually justify the extensions. In order to bring about devel opment that will render the valley capable of its highest production and settlement the flood waters must be controlled and benefici ally used over the largest possible area. In order to ascertain the sur plus water and the amount which can be beniNcially used under our soil and climatic conditions it is necessary to have the find ings of the State Water Board, whose duty it is under our laws to adjudicate these matters. In order to enable the Water Board to prepare its findings it is necessary to have a final ses sion to close up the testimony. Detailed plans have been work ed out for s system to provide for the proper irrigation and drainage of the valley. The State and Federal Reclamation Service cannot do this work or give financial assistance. Priv ate capital is ready to enter the field to construct such a system as soon as the land owners or ganize the proper districts pro vided for under our water laws. The state adjudication has been under way for three years. De lays and adjoranments have not been at the request of the small er individual ater claimants for their proofs have been promptly submitted in the sessions already had, and they are now practic ally unanimous in a demand for a speedy determination. The lust adjournment of the final hearing from Nov. 8, to Jan. 10, 1916, was on application of Edward F, Treadwell Esq. at torney for the Pacific Live Stock Co. It is regretable that one of the principal witnesses for the company is ip the physical con dition he is now in. I believe Mr Gilcrest has the heartfelt sym pathy of all his acquaintances. The question is, will the company be able or willing to go on with the hearing on Jan, 10th, snd what steps are being taken to secure its evidence and hurry the determination. Mr. Treadwell has assured the people of Harney Valley that his company was not an obstruction ist and was anxious for a settle ment of the water rights and was for the up building of the coun try. He emphatically stated to the Governor and Stale Umd Board that his company had ex pended enormous sums of money in developing this country to a point justifying the building of railroads; that President J. D. Farrell's claim that the large land holdings, including all watering places and water supply sources, were an impediment to railroad extention was simply s joke or a blackmailing scheme. In opposition to these asser tions we have this recerd: When the adjudication was initiated the P. L. 8. Co. filed a motion for its removal to the Federal courts. Judge Bean promply overruled the motion and re manded the proceeding back for its regular course before the Water Board. The company paid the fees required under the wat er laws under protest and sued Superintendent Cochran for re turn of same; lost its case in the Circuit Court, sppeal to snd lost out on its contention in the State Supreme Court. To review Judge Bean's order remanding the proceedings back to the State Water Bnn the company brought a direct acajou in the Federal Court at Portland against. the State Water Hoard, myself and associates snd others claim ing use of the flood waters and asking for an injunction sgsinst further adjudication proceedings, on the ground that the provisions of the State water code were un constitutional. Hearing was hud before Judge Gilbert, Woolver ton and Bean snd decree render ed upholding the water laws. The company appealed the ease to the Supreme Court oi the United States where jt is now pending. Our water code follows those successfully in operation for years in Wyoming, Nebraska. Idaho and other western states. Nev er before had any one the term eitty or seen the occasion to question the constitutionally of these water codes in ,the highest court of the land. As stated the only method left for the development of irrigation projects is through the humls of irrigation districts. Commercial organizations and nflkinls thro ughout the country are endeavor ing by every means possible to strengthen tho standing of these bonds on the market. Take the bonds back to the mnrkets of the East now and you meet the fas! that the very laws on which t h-.v are based are in doubt, their val idity being questioned. What has happened locally dur ing the delayed pendency of the adjudication? The P. L S I o, has spent more money ami done more work on ditches, irrigation and drainage works in the past two years than in all the thirty years it has been claiming title to the lands in its possession. For the purpose of developing the country for settlers, railroads and permanent prosperity? No For the purpose of fixing its grasp more firmly on the country. The ditches and works in the Silvies Valley are on lands neces sary for a storage rcservoii snd are being put in for the pur pose of preventing their acfpiisi tion for this purpose. The installation and operation of the Company's Boat Ford dam, whereby a large part of the water of the East Fork was thrown westward over the com pany's lands, caused water clai mants in the lower part of the valley to petition for the present adjudication proceeding. After the smaller claimants down in the Lawen country put in their proofs and testified to conditions snd use of water entirely satis factory to Mr. Treadwell, the company dropped down t the northeast corner of its big Red S flald and have constructed ditches snd works whereby what ever water passing the Hunt Ford dam can be again turned west ward over the company's lands. The lower portion of the vitllev can thus be deprived of all its water. s this for the purpose of developing I he country or of forcing the claimants and per haps the State Water Botrd to commence some more new, bttsV thy litigation that can drug its useful life out through the courts? The ordinary citizen, hsving respect or at hast a wholesome fear of the law, would first apply for and secure permits for appropriating water before (constructing works. The otsto of Oregon has ques tioned the title to lisytlta lands claimed by the P. L 8. Co. in this county, including much of that involved in the adjudication. Suit to cancel the Company's title was instituted more than is months sko gnd the issues are joined. Our representative in the last legislature, Hon. Frank Davey, provided money for in vestigation and securing wit nesses and evidence in the case. Early in the session a bill was in troduced carrying a $5,000 appro priation for the case and Mr. Davey steles that sutlicient sup port wss promised to Inj&f its psssage regardless of the report of the ways and means commit tee. Later, at the request of Representative Cobb, Chairmsn of the Ways and Means Com. mittee, this bill was withdrawn on the representation that money for the suit would be included in the general appropriation bill for the attorney General's office. The latter bill passed appropriat ing $10,000. without any restric tion for all land fraud including the P. J,, g. Co. suit. Certain state officials have gone on record in favor of dis missing this suit ostensibly on the ground that it was stale and interferred with big business, (the big business of a foreign cattle company being superior to the development of a large sec tion of remote and thinly settled Central Oregon.; Atty, Gen. Brown, head of the state's legal department, js con vinced that the facts should he thoroughly investigated and if the state has a reasonable chance that itshould be tried out. Some scattering investigation has been made but the Attorjiey Central's office claims it is hanunapped by the great volume of business be fore it snd the lack of available funds, clsiming jt would be im possible to get expense vouchers through the State Treasury until such time as the Attorney ; n oral can practically guarantee winning the suit. In other words Mr, Brown cap have no money or sssistanue will) which to investigste the matter until he has investigated it. Just us clear as state politics. Money and help are provided to advise every cross-road official in the state but he can't send un assistant out on tho most important case pending in the State of l today with assurance that his ex penses will be paid. Jf the company built up a lui.d monopoly In donarwi which provided i mh ing public lands and now claim; a water monopoly as appurtenant thereto, the allegations of the complaint, it certainly is a ser ious impediment to all proposed development Why should the matter not be brought to issue and determined? The people of the state have provided money for this purpose and the impor tance of the results demand thorough and quick action. If the money appropriated for this express purpose cannot be used under the edict of some higher power s fund should he i and the suit enrried on. I be lieve that the people of this sec tion should rise up and Insist up on this being done. Respectfully, C. B. McCONKBLL Burns Citisen Inventor. Tho Rev. S. L Flowers, pas tor of the local Nazarene church, besides being pastor and preacher, author of several books, compiler and editor of a song book, composer of church hymns, has also invented a novel device, patent having just issued, of a public locker.
