Fulton, according to these dis patches, has boon tendered the post of minister to China and has asked time to consider it. The Times-Herald man thinks more of Hnrnoy county than over since visiting tho Twin Falls, Minidoka and other irrigation districts of Idaho. Wo arc a littlo slow hero but if a few of our citizens could see how those people make a country that has no particular advantages over this wo will get the spirit and Harney county will go forward at a rapid rate. Tho Salem Board of Trade uses Salem newspapers to get home- seekers. They have decided that picture books and other advertis ing matter are all right in their wav. but they are expensive. So to all inquirers for information about Salem, copies of Salem pa pers are sent The Board of Trade buys a certain number of copies each week and uses them as follow-up matter to interest people coming west in Salem and the surrounding country. kx. According to the Blue Mt Eagle the Sumpter Valley Rail road will build into the John Day Valley this year if given proper encouragement It seems the road desires a bonus of $10,000 and would like to be exempt from taxes for a period of years. The bonus is very reasonable since it is said the road will cost $16,000 per mile and there are 40 miles to be built, but the tax exemption doesn't strike Grant county very favorably, or at least the Eagle. The purpose of changing the date of the meeting of the Ore gon-Idaho Development Congress to Julyl and 2 wiw to enable our people to all attend and not in terfere with the haying and oth er harvest Few of our local people realize the important work of this league and it is very much desired that the citizens of Harney" county become familiar with its purposes as this league will do more for this particular section than almost any other agency. Therefore every citizen should make it a point to be pre sent Prominent men who un derstand conditions will bo on the program and will discuss matters of particular interest to this section. This congress will make us all boosters and open our eyes to the possibilities of the great interior region of this state. COUNTY COURT. At the adjourned term of coun ty court held Monday and Tues day, at which both Commission ers Stallard and Smyth and Judge Rector were present, they made an appropriation of $500 for the county fair, granted a liquor license to Smyth Bros, at Andrews and made a contract with H. C. Smith to add a second story to the vault to be used as a jury room. The second story is to be finished the same as tho first The court also arranged for the road master to make measurements of Crane Creek and the South Fork of the Mal heur in order to furnish plans for tho construction of bridges across those streams. RECEPTION AND BANQUET. The reception and banquet given by the Burns Commercial Club in honor of Wirt Hanley and Nollie Reed Thursday even ing proved a most enjoyable social event and much appreciat ed by tho guests of honor. Tho tables were arranged in tho shape of a letter II and were most ar tistically decorated with cut flowers. Owing to tho electric lights being out of commission the tables were lighted up with candles. Hon, A. W. Gowan acted as toast master. Rev. A. J. Irwin responded to the toast "Good Citizenship;" District Atty. Mc Culloch tho "Great Harney Coun try"; Judge Webster, "Good Roads;" Judge Miller, "Our Wives and Sweethearts"; Hon. Frank Davey, "Journalism in tho Field of Development;" Nollie TlooA hrioflv outlined his recent tour of tho United States with tho Oregon champion basketball team; Win. Hanloy responded to "Public Awakening nnu Interest in Development" These toasts worn intcrsnorsod with a few vocal selections by tho Commer cial Club malo nuartet, a cornot solo by Prof. Wetmore and closed with a double mixed quartet. Tho sweats all seemed to bo in a most happy frame of mind and it wna nn event that will long bo remembered by the guests oJ honor who were touched by tins token of respect shown by their old timo friends and neighbors. The tables were laden with good things prepared by the "Wives and Sweethearts" of tho club who aro entitled to much credit for tho success of tho affair. SHEEP MEN ARE IN TPOUM.U. Tom Flynn, Michael and M. M. Barry and Ben Daly aro in town and aro full of trouble. It seems that during tho win ter their sheep drifted over into tho range in Hnrnoy county and the assessor, over there has as sessed the sheep. Tho sheep properly belong to this county and tho rnngo on tho mountain land hero nine months or more of the year. It does not look like n fair shako for Harney county to mnko tho attempt lo filch taxes from Lake county in this manner, and the sheep own crs purpose fighting double tax ation of this sort. U. S. Inspector Proudfoot leav es for the scene of disturbance this morning and while his offi cial duties do not admit of his taking part in the controversy, he merely goes out to enquire in to tho health of the flocks. Lakcview Examiner. Well, if Lake county sheepmen have their stock in Harney coun ty on March 1st they are quite likely to be assessed and they may kick or not Harney coun ty has been furnishing range for outside sheep for a nuinbor of years and has decided to tax them as the law provides. If these sheep range a portion of each year in Lake county she may secure her portion of the taxes by making proper applica tion for rebate. This is not such a serious matter as tho sheepmen and the Examiner may think Stock in this county on the first day of March should be assessed here and there is no occasion for double taxation at all. A VALUAULE FIND. Our neighbor county is rejoie inir in a new find of probably great value, which promises to be more than worth while, though as yet but littlo known. It is an extensive opal bed, and lies some thirty miles west of Denio, in the extreme southern nart of Harney county, near tho McGhec ranch on Thousand creek. It is in close proximity to the "petri fied forest" on Thousand creek, which is described by those who have visited that out-of-the-way section as entitled to rank among the world's wonders. The pcC refactions include trees of con siderable size, and specimens se cured by collectors bavo been pronounced among tho finest ever found in tho world. At various times for years past stones supposed to be opals have been found in the petrified forest but they were not suppos ed to be of commercial value nnu no special effort has, ever been made to mine or market the gems. Now it is said tho stones have been found in considerable quantity and they aro of good size. A number ot tnom wen. sent to Los Angeles to be tested and were pronounced of excel lent quality. Lindsoy Denio and four partners who found the stones have located eight claims. Tho Los Angeienos wno tested nnd riiwnnanfi Ihn onnls bncnmu so greatly interested in tho mat ter that tncy navo asKcu Mr. Denio and associates for timo in wliiM, in mnWn n thnrnuirh exam ination of tho nronerty with a view or purcnasmg u. h is probable that a deal will be made nnrl trio nrnilllP.t.inil of onnls Will become a new important indus try in iiarney county, mere ue ing a considerable demand for the gems.

Circuit Court convened last Monday with Judge Davis pre siding. Tho other ofllcors have been in attendance and Claudo McGeo hns acted as bailiff. Among tho outside nttornoyB in attendance were Dalton Biggs and Hon. W. II. Urooko of Onta rio and Judge L. It. abator, of Portland, Tho term hns been very light and tho oxpenso has been slight as compared to former terms. Thoro has been but ono jury trial that of tho slate vs. Medlin for tho killing of L. P. Ramos on Siccus Mr un tain Inst summer. Tho jury was: J. L. Gault, David Cox, B. F. Silor, W. II. Hodder, Scott Hayes, J. C. Wei come, Walter Cross, John Cnry, E. C. Eggleston, Frank Whiting, F. S. Miller, Lewis Defenbnugh. The jury brought in a virdict of not guilty on the first ballot. Judge Win Miller defended Med lin. Court adjourned last night and Judgo Davis took his departure for homo this morning. 1 ho re port of tho grand jury was re ceived lato yesterday afternoon and among tho indictments were several for gambling. Drewsey people were the victims and those who were arraigned put in pleas guilty and were fined $C0 each. Those who were indicted upon more than one count were fined for but ono and it is understood Dist Atty. McCulloch will not press tho other indictments pend ing good behavior. This should be a warning to tho saloon men in this county nnd will likely put a slop to gambling without any further indictments. Other business was .disposed of as follews: CRIMINAL.
