Ho had emm to this section In 1885 and had pont his entire llfq nit tho frontier, among frontier punplo, following tho fron tier customs and dispensing the fron tier hospitality. John Creasmau was known to muny Harney county pioneers. He was u man to lie to In friendships In uolghhorlluess. In business. Ita was a man who had tho respect of his acquaintances us ho always made good his word, he wlways romombor vtl a favor and was ready to glvn onu. The writer has lost a real frlond In John Crensmuu and Harney county lost one of Its best and most upright citizens when John passed over the Great Divide. John Coourod Creasman was born at Madison, Missouri on jJun. 11. 1S4S. Ho hud two slntersT both of whom preceded him In death. Ho was married In 1875 and there wore seveii children born to this union, three of whom are living and werolusod to great advantage ou partially at his aide when ho passed away: Mrs. Kdlth Steele, of Crnuo, John G. iind Walla Oroasmnu of this city.'

Tho Times-Herald has been advo cating uomo additional funds with which to build county roads nnd highways. Tho manager has dis cussed tho subject privately with in dividuals and tho matter Is receiving tho serious consideration of men who aru Inclined to bellovo It Is an oppor tune time to vote a moderate bond IIhhuu for that purpoao. This Is not a ono mail affair nor Is It possible for a newspaper to put such n thing "over" without tho nupport of good moti. The proposi tion Is simply this: Tho Times- Herald has advocated getting hohlnd tho forest service with aid to con nect with tho forest road Just com pleted from Canyon City to Hear val ley. With a reasonable amount of money It Is foil thu forost servlco will make a liberal donation to con tinue that road on Io coiincot nt Hums with the rlghway to Crane. Tho forest funds wore liberally up piled to match what was put up by (Irani county In tho rond building plan Just completed and it Is still In a liberal mind. Hy building a road under forest servlco supervision wo are nsusred of an excellent rond, of a character that will meet approval and constructed with the hlgrost ofllclonc) at a lees cost than Is gen eral for such roads. In addition to building the road tho funds are pledged for an annual maintenance to the amount of 1200 per inllo each year. Auothes attractive Incident of the proposition of bonding for roads is the fact that the futuro rcccJpla of tho National Forest may bo plegded for thu refunding of thu bonds and that no direct tax need be levied for the purpose. This has been disputed but can be verified. The Tluu's-Horald feels It would nut bo Just to ask tho voters or Har ney county to approve a small bond Ishuo for funds to devote to ono road ol.thls tlmo when other roads of Im portance In tho county should ho giv en consideration. A bond Issue of a moderate amount of money could be comploted roads tlmtaro now under general use For lustanco tho sur facing of a portion or tho Well Hill road south from Crnuo Is a mcrltor Ipuh project. Thin Is an excollont grndo and with only a portion of It surfaced where tho soil Is light It would mean much to tho traveling public am) this road Ik used by many rcsldonts of Harney county who llvo THE BEST OF FRIENDS MUST PART lli Catlow, Diamond, and all thnt ter ritory south as far an Denlo. Tho presont highway grudo -toward Bllvor ereok Is another Important highway and used by hundreds of pooplo and tourists, Thin Hhould have somo sur facing on a portion. What about somo of tho main travelod roads In the vicinity of Narrows and toward tho Grain camp, What about other parts of Harney county? It Is nhmlttos that no now road construction may bo dono undor tho present tax levy. In ordor to havo moro now roads It will rotilro bonds thoro's no .othor wuy. Why not (ako advantage of tho opportunity to vote a ronsounblo amount of IjoikIb for road building and got our main highways in hotter condition when w? can pledge forest fecolpts to re-fund-tho bond and havo no direct tax Iovy7 There Is now a proposition to form uu organization to put forward a bond Ihhiio for roads In Harney coun ty. This should ho dono and a policy formulated setting forth the amount of tho hondJsHtio and designating tho parts of tho roads that tho money should bo applied. Tho Times-Herald hopes that a 'od road club or something of that character will bo organized and tho proposition or placing a bond Ishuo ou tho ballot at the coming Novem ber election taken caro of. CONCIMIT OF HIGH OHDKIt Music lovers of Ilurns were tripl ed to a real muslcalo on Thursday when Miss Gwendolen Lumptdilro, violinist, Lewis Nlveu, tenor, nnd Arthur Hicks, pianist, gave a reeltal at tho Llborty Theater. These ytmng artists gave a very delightful pro gram that pleased those who heard It. Thoy showed marked talent in their respective lines, evidencing the careful training they have received ami proving the claim that music Is really ono or tho finest arts. The writer does not feel qualified to glvo a detailed report of tho several mjlectlons In tho groups rendered, nor oven to attempt any comment upon any particular ruiimber. It was finite evident from tho gnu erous npplauso nnd appreciation shown by those present that these ypuug peop'ln hnvo accomplished much In their lino of endeavor and nro destined to tako their places In the musical world. However, wo un derstand that none or tho three havo reached tho goal Hot and that thoy will contlnuo their studies In music during tho coming year. Thero were many expressions or r.lgh appreciation ind tho young people woro warmly congratulated nt tl:o close or their program. ' ' ' ' O ' Leon M.

It Is right Hiat soma fitting monument bo erected to his memory and that his many friends should nharo In such a memorial.

The Times-Herald Is suggesting that a public subscription bo taken up for funds to be used to accuro a suitable monument to be erected nhovo Austin Goodman's ro3tlng place.
