AGRICULTURAL MAN
FOR TEN COUNTIES
taw
Has Harney County Taken Advantage
Of This Offer? The Following Is
Sent Out As a News Dispatch From
Portland Under Recent Date And
Should Now Be Given Attention
r . ,
-Ten Oregon counties will' bo- is iC half a million dollars lying
euro each an agricultural adviser',
thus securing the $1,000 offered
every county that takes suoh ac
tion, olfercd by tho crop improve
ment committoo of Chicago. D.
O. Lively, vice president of tho
Portland Union Stockyards Com
pany, says ho has received this
number of responses to tho ofTer
which tho committee made thru
him. Other counties are consid
ering the matter. To the author
ities of each county he has sent
tho following explanatory letter.
"I am advised by the crop im
provement of the council of grain
exchanges at Chicago that they
will put $1,000 into any county
which will raise a fund sufficient
to employ a trained agricultural
ist of sullkient tact and judg
ment for nt least two years.
This man must be satisfactory to
tho State Agricultural College or
the United States office of farm
management or boh.
"The letter received from the
crop improvement committee
contains n statement that thero
MARGARETILESCO COMING
Will Play Here During The Entire Fair
Week With a Ligger and Better
Troupe Than Ever At Tonawama
The Margaret lies Theatrical
Company, so well known and
popular with tho play goers of
this city, will play the entire fair
week at Tonawama. The com
pany has been increased since
playing here last spring and arc
now classeu among the best
traveling on tho road. They
have their own autos nnd make
quick time between places.
One disappointment may be
the absence of the old time corr-
cdian Ed Meade who has so long
been identified with this compa
ny. He suffered a stroke of par
alysis last month and although
ho waB much improved the last
heard from him, it was proble
matic whether he would be able
to make the interior trip or not.
However, the other old time
players of the company will be
here to greet their many friends.
The company will present all its
new plays and some new special
ties and it might be well to sug
gest to those desiring to nttend
theso performances to secure
scats early, as there will be a big
crowd hero all week and no doubt
the hall will be crowded. Seats
will bo on sale during the day
at Tonawama box offico.

TKc Wise Man
There is a man in our town
who thinks he's wondcroua wise;
though ho has lots of junk to
sell, he does not advertise. He
often says: "The people must
know I'm in tho came; nnd if
they want my doodads, they'll
como and buy tho Bame. To ad
advertise my jim-cracks won't
bring mo trade or scads, for
folks who take tho paper refuse
to read the ads. They read the
sporting pages, they read the
household dope, they road what
Lillian Russel says of her beauty
soap, they read the wedding
stories of joyous girls and lads,
they read tho 'Hints to Hoboes,'
but do not read tho ads." Tho
large and clammy spiders build
cobwebs in his store, and no one
will disturb them by entering
the door. Tho clerks aro grow
ing whiskers jill filled with fun
gus blue, and comb them with
their fingcrs-they'vo nothing
olso to do. Sometimes a Bad
eyed pilgrim, insomnia-accursed,
goes there, in peace and quiet to
sleep a little verst. Anon, tho
man who wishes to drop from
public view, drops in to sco that
merchant and stays a week or
two. But no ono takes a bundle
to buy things at that store,
where broods tho drowsy mer
chant, and all tho clcrklings Bit
andBnore. Ex.
They Want YOU There!
AT THE
ddrmant in any county and wo
boliovo that when you show your
business men that with a little
well directed effort this can be
put into circulation annually,
they will see that this is a busi
ness proposition for them and
will get behind this movement
and give it their full support.
The language applies to the
counties of tho middlo states.
Hero in Oregon there are mill
ions of dollars lying dormant
In every county, nnd tho propos
ition submitted by the crop im
provement committee seems to
bo worthy ot immediate co-operation.
"Copy of the contract and sug
gestions as to tho organization
havo been Bent to mo, nnd if you
arc interested I will be glad to
submit them for your considera
tion. This seems to me to be a
genuine opportunity for work
that will bring aotual results. W. B. Shelley. Homer Reed
J f you aro of tho same opinion I and two boys from the Island
will bo glad to hear from you, Ranch left Tuesday morning for
and will co-opcrato with you to the Pendleton Round-Up. Tho
tho fullest extent" party went on horse back taking
not only their favorite saddle
HHgHg horses but somo bad ones to go
into the contests over there. Mr.
Shelley had secured ono horse
that has never been subdued,
having thrown oycry man who
fried, tq rido him. He also took
the famous Settlemyre saddle
which he will disposed of over
there, having already had an of
fer for it.
Harney county will get some
advertising out of the big show
as tho outlaw horses will be an
attraction. Tho boys will all
take in the show, Homer likely
assisting in the Cowboy Band
as cornetist.
"The Harney county high school
opened Monday in the old public
school building which has been
leased for the year as the adding
of agriculture and domestic sci
ence to the regular course h3s
made ,it necessary to secure lar
ger quarters. The new teachers
have not arrived but a telegram
from Dr. Kerr of the Oregon
Agricultural College announces
they will be here ready for their.
duties on next Monday.
Jay C. Leedy, a graduate of
tho last yeai at Corvallis has
been secured to teach agriculture
and Miss Zoa Irwin domestic
science. Both are splendid young
people according to Dr. Kerr and
he is confident of their success.
The class just entering the
high school from the eighth grade
work numbers 24 and the faculty
hopes to see the entire class go
through school. Everything
seems favorable to a very profi
table term of .school this year as
tho pupils are enthusiastic and
the teachers believe the addition
al courses will make the school
work more popular.
The Times-Herald is pleased
to note the progressiveness of
our high school board in making
our school one of the foremost
schools of the state and the in
terest taken in the educational
work by the country in general is
certainly gratifying. Too much
cannot bo done for such enter
prise and the new courses added
will bring the student practical
knowledge that has been neglect
ed more or less heretofore. Prac
tical education is what is necess
ary to succeed these days and
our county has taken the proper
course.
There is a general trend to
make more of the farm and home
building throughout the entire
world and the'people of the west
are beginning to realize what can
be accomplished toward the de
velopment of the vast territory
which has been idle these many
years through this method.

W. T. VanderVeer was in the
city this week and informs The
Times-Herald he has threshed a
large amount of timothy, clover
and red top seed at his ranch
Over on Pine creek this season
and he was looking around to
see if local people would buy it
from him. He has the seed
mixed, just the thing which lo
cal men want for their meadows
and has offered it at prices
about one-half what has had to
be paid for it by sending away.
Mr. VanderVeer states the seed
at the price he is offering will
net him about $50 an acre which
gives one an idea of the value of
such a crop. This should all be
bought here at home and the
wild meadows seeded. It im
proves the yield greatly and in
creases the quantity and quality
of the crop and is in every way
an advantage over the wild hay,
as it will more than double the
amount of hay from an acre.
Mr. VanderVeer will have a
quantity of this seed oyer here
for the fair and our people should
see it This seed is acclimated
and is certainly superior to that
brought in from outside points
and much cheaper.

Pheasants Shipped
A telegram from Gene Simp
son at Corvallis, dated Thursday,
states he was shipping that day
by way of Bend, four crates of
China pheasants, to the Rod &
Gun Club of this city to bo cared
for and finally liberated in this
section.
Arrangements have been made
to have the birds looked after by
people interested and they will
be distributed over quite a terri
tory, some going out to the Ma-
hon ranch at Anderson Vnlley
and others to tho f, Ranch, A
portion of the birds will bo placed
on farms wp Silvies River and
nearer this city. It was a disap
pointment that we could secure
but two dozen birds as it was
found more could have boon
taken care of. However, there
can be other shipments made
next season when it is found
they will bo plentiful,
A few of those birds were HU
erated in this section a number
of years ago, but they did not
receive tho protection they should
and as a consequepec they did
not propagate as rapidly as they
should, yet there are some of the
birds here yet, having beep seen
this season up on Emigrant
Creek.
1 Qual a.ro becoming more plen
tiful and as larger areas aro put
into grain these birds will in
crease rapidly and make some
fine sport.
