All hough this hud been advertised previously, but few clime to the meeting. It was found that the men predominated at this gathering and because cf that the ladles were given marked con sideration and all the honors. The five members selected for the Hoard of Managers were all ladles. Mrs. Julia Smith. Mrs. I. H. Holland, Mrs. James Lsmpsblre, Mrs. Hoy Moullen Mrs. J. W. Oeary being chosen. As this was all the meeting could do in the line of officering the Chapter, it did not take long to finish the work. May IHsband an War Workers. A general discussion of the affairs of the Chapter and Its future activ ities followed informally. Kev. Fa ther Francis presided and gave all present free way to give the subject discussion without the formality of addressing the chair. From a letter received recently It was letarned that tbe Chapter may disband as a war working organization, and is permit ted to turn in all finished and unfin ished wort and material it has. This also applies to the Auxiliaries and It was requested by the ladles In charge of the work that this be pub lished In ordeY that the Auxiliaries may turn In such materials as they have on hand so that it may be sent to division headquarters. It is the intention to close the work room In this city and return to those who loaned such articles, furniture and sewing machines, etc., and give N. Drown ft Sons possession of the room again.

Has Been Active In War. The Chapter has beon one of the active organizations of the war, and has proven one of the most energetic In the way of relief. It has had the most universal support of any such body and has enrolled a larger mem bership. Almost the entire county belongs and each individual has taken a personal interest and tried In some way to help. The future work Is for the benefit of the returning soldier and his fam ily. It will have direct attention of a worker as soon as one can be selec ted. This home service work will cover such a wide scope ae conditions add circumstances will warrant.

OTHER COUNTIES BOND IN LARGE SUMS Tax No Heavier For Bonds Than Present Lety For Roads; Will Receive Farther Discussion. The Times-Herald is disappointed because of the lack of interest shown in the meeting called for the purpose of discussing roads last Thursday evening. Tho members of the coun ty court were present to take part in the discussion and listen to sugges tions. Several gentlemen from out of town from Lawen and Crane were there, but it was not a repre sentative meeting of the citizens of the county and therefore those pres ent did not consider it proper to take any action to send a delegation to Portland on the 15th to meet with the Highway Commlaaion. It Is not the proper attitude to take in con nection with so Important, a matter. We should have a better understand ing of the situation and investigate the possibilities of Increasing the ap construction of permanent roads in proprlatlon of funds to aid in the our county. If we are being discrim inated against and not given proper consideration let us all have some thing to say about it. tin i ii- Accused of Favoritism. Burns has been accused of being re sponsible lor the highway post road not serving Lawen post office. Is that true? Is there acltlzen of this town really favorable to passing by the post offices between here and Crane and still insist on it being a post road? In !ut bow many of the cltlaena of Horns know where the route lias been surveyed or have made any liivesilgation of it'.' Are w all satistieil with the pres ent system ol expending the road funds, do we find a unanimous voice ironi the citizens of riiis county In the ,'lau.s.' Is it a I ict thai ue are tailing behind other localities in tho nuiidi-ig of i.irn.iiieni highway! and Is it really cheaper to bond for road budding purpose like oilier coun ties of the stale .' Hon. ling ChedpOM .Met boil. Prominent men who have given such matters attention and who are financiers, say that we couid bond Harney county for 1400,000 and pay the Interest on that amount If the entire issue were disposed of'at once and still not be taxed any heavier than th present levy for roads. It would seem that this assertion can not bear out investigation but there are men who would back his asser tion with convincing figures. Other counties in Oregon are bonding lu big sums and are receiving recogni tion from the State Highway Com mission and tho Federal Oovernment. Is it worth our while to make an in vestigation of these assertions and sue If we can profit by them? Mr. Weittenhlller conies to us al ter an enthusiastic meeting of citi aej of Malheur, Orant ant) Baker countlesb and tells his neighbors that them and appoint a delegation to go we should follow the example set by to the meeting or the State Highway ' Commission on the 15th of April and see if Harney county can't start something to her Interests. He Is of the opinion that we are sleeping on our rights. Working at Cross Furnoses. The Times-Herald urges a meeting of the citizens to discuss it and al.-o to Investigate certain phases of tho highway between Burns and Crane but there Is lndlfferen response from the people. Wo should not be satis fled with things under such clroum stancos. Wo me working at i purposes and the sooner we realize it and follow l lie example of neighbor ing counties In organizing for the general gooil ol tho entire country the sooner we are going to accom plish results. This subject will raoeive l'urth r discussion in tho immediate future and the citi.ens arc asked to give it consideration.
