AUSTIN Harney County Has Resources Similar and Concerted Ac tion AU That is Needed. James J, Donegal! was one of tho Harney county delegates to tho Irri gation Congress at Klamalh Falls recently, Upon his return ho stated to a representative of this paper that he had- never experienced a mora profitable gathering slnco the In ception of the Irrigation mootlngs. Mr. Donegan waa particularly Im pressed with thu advancement made In Klamath slnco n former visit of a few years ago. Ho found tho country greatly Improved over that of a fow years ago and found It was through tho organized efforts' of Its citizens In bringing about develop ment. In a comparative short time a transformation lias been accomplish ed In that section. On his former visit Mr. Donogan found Klamath county disorganized and moro or loss demoralized be cause of difference of opinion nitd factious, Today Its Irlgatlon pro loot la an accomplished fact; Itn swamps aru drained, Its towns moiWnUod with water, sower and electrical powor servlco. Tho ugrlcltural lauds havo been colonized, tho largo hold ings cut up and thrifty families aro found on each CO acres, which Is tho average. Dairy cows huvo taken tho place of tho largo buof herd and the creamery and cheoso fnctory Is In evidence, Klamath Falls has 38 sawmills surrounding It and the 'manufacture of lumber amounts to four huurded million feet of timber per annum. Thu country Is prosperous and going. Mr. Doncguu remarks tho similar ity of Klamath county to Hnmey In tho lino of every rosourcu. Wo hivo thu name lakes and marshes, tho came altitudo, tho samu soli, climate, timber, etc. Wo havo tho samu op portunities of development as Kiilm nth and .every reason for advance ment. Ho says It Is a pity we havo linen so long delayed In tho develop ment of this big country and unpen now with transportation completed to Hums through this big rich val ley that wo may advance rapidly Hit hopes to see somo plan decided upon for Irrigation and that It will bo advanced without delay, Jlmmio was particularly Impressed with tho wonderful electrical power developed In thu Klamath section npd sees a wonderful future hero for the ua of Hiich power as It ran bo developed cheaply nnd used to assist In tho Irrigation of land that Is not under n gravity system.

At n mooting of several goad roads enthusiasts hold at Tho Times-Herald olllco Thursday evening a Har ney County Oood Roads Club was organized, Tho organization was not perfected at this mooting, a pres ident and secretary being elected and n comlttec appointed to tako up tho proposition of getting a bond Is sue for road building on tho ballot for tho November election.

Ar chie McQowaii was made president of tho club and 8. R. Hennctt sec retary. Another meeting will bo called In tho liumadlutu futuro when other olllcers will bo cboson, by-laws adopted and tho organization perfect ed. Tho Immediate activity of tho flood Roads Club Is tho proposition of asking tho voters of Harney coun ty to approve a moderate bond Issuu to Improve and build somo roads that are of Immediate necessity. The primary road In this program Is the Hurns-Bllvlos Forest road that has been advocated by several for some tlmo and ono that tho Forest Servlco Is much luteretsed In. It Is a road that will put Hamoy county directly on a highway to Portland and tho coast by way of tho John Day High way. It Is also nn Important link In tho Jnuquln Miller highway from Pendleton south to a connection with tho Lincoln highway. Another deserving and Important trunk lino road that Is to havo thu attention or the club Is tho Crano Wull Hill market road which should bo surfaced for at least a portion or tho distance between Princeton and Crane. The other road Improvement boforo tho club at this time Is tho Hums-Narrows road and a connect ing road between Narrows and Law 'n north or tho lako. Petitions aro being preparod ask ing thu court to phtco n bond Issuu or SUn.OOO on thu ballot at tho Novem ber election to bo used on tho roads outlined above.

It will be tho purpose of the Good Roads Club to sponsor thla bond Issuo and placo beforo tho toxpayors COUNTY FAIR TIME ' I ItUII WANTS MORH INFORMATION Lawen' (To Tho Editor:) I not lco In your Issue of August 30 that the Commlttoo of Ton and Mr. Hhattuck of tho experiment station aro going to exploit the Harney country ngnln In regard to the un derground water and what might bo done wlthtlL I agree with Mr. Fred Kegtor; Shnttuck should give moro Informa tion In regard to cost or producing grain and alfalfa, etc., as his reports certainly will attract pcoplo back on tho land they tuft a few yearn ago; thoy might oxporlonec more fa'llures an In former youn unless they nro fully advised. If tho Idea Is only to gat pcoplo back to mukn n fow (Hi lars out of thorn go ahead, but tho human sldo of the question Is can thoy make on-bpnost living I think not, as thu cost will be moro than tho work, and not all can got help to pity bills from tho government. I'm making nu experiment with artesian wolls and havo no falluro no yet, but It Is a costly undertaking and only thu future can show tho re sults whether It Is worth tho effort nnd oxponsu or not. 1 would ask your Commlttoo or Tun to consider somo questiens: Will electric power bu cheaper than gas engines? I think from what I know, It will not bo much loss. Would tho underground water hold out If lota or pumping plants woro Installed I think not,, as I havo this year drill ed four moro wolts to three times tho depth of my former wolfs, nnd found no moro water, As to thu Irrigation 'District, will nay, I wish thoy would let It nlono as It la for at least thrco years, then wo may know whether wo havo any water to stoer or not; thu last throe yours did not show nny water to store and If tho next three years should bu a repetition or thu former and no wator to store, I see no roas on then to dissolving tho district. - Now, Mr. Hhattuck, plouse como out moro plainly with your work and give more data so tho peoplo may know tho truth.
