The Crook county census of l'.KW. showing l'".l" children between the age of i ami 20 yonrs moans a ip illation of lillS.i. Tlio increase in tho county's iiopulation is quite percoptiiblc, especially in mo east orn itml central purls. Prinovillo has also received hor share of new residents, nnil hail ii not Iwn for tho scourge of lust spring our grow til for this year wouM have ot liw oil that of any previous year in our history. As it is wo an- steadily forging ahead, ami the perman ency nntl good appearance ot the city is daily heing added too. It amuses us to see some of our exchanges squirm and wriggle in an attenuit to oneml noboilv, says the Myrtle Point Knterprise. The newspaper that can ho published in a way not to offend any one u jewel and the editor is entitled to a iair of million wings. Human nature is so constituted that anno like scandal while others don't; some like to see others "ripped up the back;" others don't. Some like to have the truth told on them, others don t; some like to have a paper til or eight years and never miss an issue nor pay a cent, and get mad and stop their paper when they gel a statement of their ac count; others don't. It is nut the province of a newspajior to please everyone, and the editor can ex tract consolation from the fact that the Lord himself failed to please evervhodv when on earth. The eyes of the East, that have been turned so long nKn the West as the place to migrate, are gradu ally centering iiHn Oregon, and increased interest regarding our state is heing taken by the large railway people and their immigra tion bureaus. This is due partly to the fact that ashington on our north ami Laijtomia on our south have gone through alaiut all the development warranted by the natural conditions; bat more be cause of th fact that between these two states lies a dormant jewel, rich in timlier, mineral and agricultural resources, and dorm ant because she was unfortunately inhabithted by a race of peoble known as the mos.-backs. For two generations these people have been satisfied with primitive busi ness conditions, biting at shell games but passing by the bona tide offers of development. Natur ally this condition could not exist always, and the business moss backs are rapidly falling in the background. With new blood and capital enthused, rapid develop ment of the state's resources is prom ised. In this development Crook County cannot fail of her share. Brother Stewart, of the Fossil Journal, blatts from his editorial sanctum, anil gives vent to some bold asstrtions in his lart issue regarding the range xituatiou of Crook County. His ii c n sistency ai.d unnatural tone would denote him rather a wolf in sheep's clothing, than the innocent foreign lamb lie would have ii believe him, ami in view of this fact, he will Inrdly lie able to dic tate our range situation. He asserts the right of foreign shop men to drive to our rang" and ur-e them or any part of them in what ever way they may see tit. Now we would resH:ctfully call the attention of the Fossil brother m well as other outside papers to the resolutions passed by the joint committees of Crook county sheep and cattle men, and published in the Prineville papers some time ago. When tho sentiment thus expressed, which wc inav add in developed from a sense of natural right is so well known, can the outside ioachers continue to tresspass this sentiment? In con clusion we will say, that if the Fossil Journal or any other migra tory sheep organ will blatt a satisfactory answer to the following question, and show whore it is right, wo believe nil further objections will bo waived ninl their welcome on our range will bo coiupjetc. , "Is it right from a natural slniul- point, to save your own ranges, ilrivc from thorn in the spring to ours, spend tin' summer anil autumn with us, tuul leave in the Into full for your own luxurious grasses, leaving our homo caliie ami flui') to face the bleak winlor with nothing hut tho offings of your sheep for sustenance?"

Last Saturday evening the old resi deuce near the nice-track formerly used or a jet house, was burned to the ground, entailing a low of $otl on the city of Prineville who purchased it last Spring of Mrs. S. J. Lafollett, at that figure. How it got on Bre is con jecture, but no expressions of regret have been heard as to its loss. It was a cheaply built structure, and was unsightly to the public. Infection might have spread from it aa proper Itiniigation of such a building was an iuiMissitility. Ilu4 Matwala. ,Sumc of the city's sidewalks are in a very bad condition, and they Beri ously endanger the limbs of those using them. Just the other day noticed two ladies in conitiany travel ing over a rackety walk, and at one siepfied on a loose planlt, she fell, and in lulling the other lady also was a partner in misery, as her foot caught the raise I end of the plank, a id she was precipitated to the ground with considerable furce e ough to cause injuries that conlineil her to her home for a number of days.- Such careless ness on the part of the city is liable to result in a costly damage suit. Illiitta survey. A party composed of Mr. Tili son, H. S. Cram, Arthur Mackey, Johnny Newsome, Warren Smith and James Cram left Monday for the irroup of claims, 20 in number situated on Lookout Mountain and owned bv the American Altuanden Gold Mining Company.

Patterson and (.. d. .Mc.Vunara. the com pany however, has since n re incorisirated with Messrs Tueison I ra:n aiul others as the incorpo rators. It is the purjioHe of the owners to push work right along on the property, which is a promis ing one ami is confidentially ex is-cteil to place itsell ill the near future in Crook county's list of paying mineral proportion.

Cr.ajk County boasts ol G21J miles of county roads, running in every direction and giving traveling lucil- Itiea to her population. There are lso nearly W wiles of now road under consideration. To keep those roads in order is quito a task, and one in which tho county has fallen short in timet; pant. To prove this it is only necessary to lake a tiip In any direction from the county seat. Kspecially bad roads are found in the eastern part of the county, and much complaint it being made by rosideutaof thatsoetion. The military road leading up thoOohooo and across to loe by ' ay of Crooked river, Hahbit Valley and Paulina ia almost impas sible lor vehicle of any kind and un less it ia worked this season, it had just at w. II be closed as its usefulness as a thoroughfare will be ended. Other roads need immediate attention. and this it certainly the time of year to do roadbiiilding. Can't the road supervisors get to work and show more activity along this line. Much do peuda upon them exercising their official right in getting out those de linquent with their road and poll taxes. The fruits of this work will be seen when winter again conns". rsjaalliallaa U.ar. There will be held a mooting of the Board of Lipiahution lor Crook coun ty, at the county clerk't ottieo on Monday, August Slst, for the purpose of publicity examining the assess- ment rolls, and correcting all errors in voluatiou, discription or qualities i.I lands, lots, or other property, and it shall lie the duty of permits inteie.teil to appear at the time and place ap pointed.

State Law, Hew t'wwreli BnlltliNff. Tne trustees of the Presbyterian cnurcn mot last .Monday evening to consider plans for their new church building, and decided uiioii those submitted by J. B. Shipp,our local architect. I bene plans call for a building 41 feet by 68 foot in dimensions, and containing two class rooms, a gallery, and a main auditorium, a basement 9 feet in the clear, and a vestry. The seats of the auditorium will bo arranged in a semi-circular form, and will slope upwards towards the track. The basement will lie of Crook county building stone, and will contain a furnace to furnish steam heat. The windows will be of stained glass, and the upiicr story will have cathedral windows of colored glass. The building will have a steeple containing a bell tower, according to the plans, about 70 feet in height!). Altogether this structure will cost in the neighbor hood of liilJOU, and will seat about 400 ple. The lots upn which it will lie built will be situated on the northwest corner of the block just east of the school house, and when completed it will add ma terially to Princville's apiearance. Such a church building would he a credit to any town. lalllrnrn will lanlrr. There will lie a meeting of the Kxecutive committee of the Crook County Cattlemen' Association at the law office of county Judge M. K. Biggs next Saturday afternoon. Those composing this committee are J. H. Gray, of Crooked river, W. C. Conglcton, of Paulina, V. C. Wills, of Grizzly, Harvey l)un ham, of Ochoco, and Judge M. K. Higgs, of this city, and their object in meeting at this time will be to make arrangements to attract out side buyers for the fall cattle sales, and also to arrange to get the! highest market prices for the sale cattle belonging to mcmlicrs of the association. There has lately rnen dcveloiied a feeling among some of our county's cattlemen that owing to the high price of bay, which is be ing held at ten dollars per ton, it will lie necessary to turn off so many cattle, that a slump in the market would occur. As a conse- iiience, a tow cows with i-alvi-s have beer, offered for $20, which is certainly below all reason. It is hardly probable that the surplus stock of our county could cause a slump in the outside market, and if half the stock of the county were turned off this full, there is no reason why the outside prevailing prices should not be obtained or every head. Those who know, .say it is only necessary to make some concerted effort and get the buyers here. This meeting is not for the exec utive couinitttee alone, but for all who arc interested in the matter of getting higher prices for their cattle. t'lrs l lleaekuiva laist Thursday at about 1:30 a.m. there occurred at Hesehutos, tho moat disastoront tlru that has yet visited that little town. The building on nod by W, II.

Pojiiicr to tho amount of $UK). Also personal property of 0, C, Hiitcllintou, ot I'oitland to the value of 100. Just buw tho lira originated it nut kAown but it It said mat it it the general opinion in llcechntca that tt was of incendiary origin, lleorgc Sohleel with whom Palmer Ilrot., wore negotiating to sell the plant had been in charge of I he ollloe lince July 1st, and had spent tho evening of the Ureal the Kelio olllee leaving at a' little past ton. At 1:30 the tire was discovonil by Mr. Knot, who lives only a few feet away, and it wat only by hanl work ou his airt, that Ilia home was saved limn the tire fiend. Last Saturday was the day set for tlicousiiiniuation of thcdia! between Palmer Bros, and Mr. Sohlooht, he having taken th.i plant on 3i) days tiial, before closing the dent. There was no insurnnco Ukiil the building nor contontt, Latkh: tloorgc Sohlooht establiihod headquarters at the ltoviow utile in the city, where he has made arrange ments to publish the Kcho indefinitely. The exchange was made iui the day agreed and Mr, Schlccht is now the prnpiotor. The loss of the plant, how ever, falls upon Palmer Bros, I'alvrr llvma.
