There were new ordinance passed, others repealed, franchise granted and divers other husinens matters transacted; all of w hich kept the guardians of the city's welfare struggling with their think-tanks until the hour grew lute. rirsi in importance came the real of the Sunday closing or dinance which apparently was worn out completely after being in use for ahout one year. .Mer chants are at lilM-rty again to re sume the sale of goods and tran sact ion of htisinesK matters on i Sunday, the repeal of the ordi j nance removing all restrictions.

This practically throws all responsibil ity for gambling, sale of liquor to minors and habitual drunkards upon the state, relieving the city from further concern. Postmaster Summers was pre sented with a telephone franchise which will permit him to run win through the air anil over head inside the city limits, and there were a few improvement permits issued. The cows were then handed a licautiful package. The new ordinance which covers the hovines also applies to horses, chickens and other two legged cul inary attachments and the lan guage of the new statute expressly ftnd positively states that it shall be considered a dignity upon the soul of the city if these four legged animals and two Wiied fowls shall be permitted to roam at large. Summarized this is the program I t i . . . 1 rendered in the council rooms Tuesday evening. But the ing and repealing of ordinances did not occupy more' time than that consumed in the arguments and discussions which came fast, appeared thick and thin at inter vals. hut apparently had hut little bearing on general results. The latter have formed the basis of much comment. (ity, Idaho, on the trip westward trout New York to San Francisco.

ARE IN NEW MEXICO Megargle and Fassett Are Having a Hard Trip Percy Megargle ami David Fas- sett, the two autoists who passed through Prineville in the Heo Mountaineer late last fall, expect ing to make the coast and return to New York City in time for New Year's dinner, only a few davs since reached Albuquerque, New Mexico, where thev rested a few days from the heat and dust of their nresent sandv tour. The Reo has traveled over litHK) miles since it left New York Citv and till has several thousand to go. Megargle sent The Journal a couv of one of the Albuquerque dailies which says among other thinsrs:' The "Heo Mountaineer" is in excellent shape to the' eye of the layman and experts who exaniin-l ed the machine last . nisrht said that it has stood the trip remark ably well. Only two pairs . of front tires have been used since leaving New York citv, although a dozen pairs have been worn out on the rear wheels. The present front tires were put on at Boise Western Crook Countv has drawn its sword for the commis sionership and R. H. Rayley is the candidate from the "west side" who has been decided upon to fill the June vacancy. His name was the only one mentioned at the meeting in Redmond and the spirit of the community seems to lie all bolstered up at one spot behind his hack. The Laidlaw Chronicle says of him: "Mr. Bayley has consented to be come a candidate and we hoi that his nomination and election will follow. Mr. Bayley has been a resident ot tins county since 1904 when he moved to his home near Laidlaw where he has since resided. He is a man of good judgment and if nominated and elected will prove to be an efficient oliicer. His platform is progress for the entire county carried on in a conservative manner. He stands for development and yet is opposed to any extravaeence in the use of public money." hile the politicians of the 'west side were busy at Redmond Fred Fisher started his nominat ing petitions and from a neutral standpoint the rare between the two will !e neither slow nor dis interesting. Mr. Fisher is i heavy property owner north of Madras where he has a wide acquaintance both in a business way and otherwise and it is tij ped off that he will receive the solid support of Kutcher, Hay stack, Lamonta, Cross, Keys, Ash wood and Hay Creek. Mr. Bay ley wilt do as well in his own ter ritory . and with Prineville ami eastern Crook reiuaininz neutral there are excellent chances of see ing some tine haired counting of ballots. It is questionable wheth er either of the two candidates now in the field will be able to break into each other's territorv and both districts, of course, will stretch a length to promote the in terests of its local candidate. Prineville's interest in the com missionership tangle seems to be at low ebb. erv little comment is heard and no opinions expressed Neither candidate is known locally and the idea is prevalent that the most interest to be dis played here will be in watching the outcome of the race between the two. Socialists Will Be in the Field. Crook county Socialists will have a ticket in the field for the June election. Owing to the small percentage of vote cast at the last election, it will not be necessary for the party to hold a primary election, but soon there after the delegates from the var ious Locals will meet in Prineville to frame up the ticket which will appear on the June ballots. The party as a whole will make a determined eftort this vear to poll a much larger vote than here tofore, and this is likely to be done. New Locals have been organized in different parts of the county, the one recently formed at Madras being especially strong, and the county .organization gen erally is much stronger than two years ago. J. M, Street, who has been identified with the Socialists quite prominently, will devote consider able of his time after the conven tion and before election to stump ing the county in the interests of the party. The county convention will be held in this city Wednes day, April 25. Irrigation Company Elects. Improvements will be made dur ing the present month in the ser vice of the People's Irrigation company, an organization of pri vate land holders along the CrooKed river basin below Prine ville. At the annual meeting held last Monday -afternoon ar rangements were made to get the ditches in readitess for the spring irrigation which will begin inside of the next week or two and work will also begin in a short time on the McDowell ranch where a per manent dam will be constructed. Last season the channel of the river changed too frequently to permit the building of a solid structure by which to divert the waters of Crooked river into the second main canal which is taken out at that place. It is believed now that the chalinel has become fixed and considerable work will be expended in building a sub stantial and permanent dam. The business meeting was fol lowed by the election of the fol lowing officer for the ensuing year: Thomas Sharp, Jr., presi dent; M. R. K'lliott, secretary; D. F. Stewart, treasurer and general malinger. The loard of directors i comKised of Thomas Sharp, Jr., Frank Forest, I). F. Stewart, A. Zell and C. M. Zell. Saleable Sheep About Gone. That LontracU have already leen made for most of the saleable sheep of -Wasco, Crook and Wheeler counties is the statement made by J. X. Burgess of the Cunningham Sheep A Land com pany to the Pendleton newspapers on his return from a trip to his old home near Antelope. The prices paid, acording to Mr. Bur gess, have varied from $2.50 io $3.25 per head for yearlings. The highest nrice was naid for ewen while many yearling wether have sold for $2.75 per head. Never before have so many sheen been sold at this time of the year, declares Mr. Burgess, who has an opportunity of knowing the state of the market as well as any man in this section. He says tnat already this season as manv beep have been sold as is usual a month later than this date. This condition is due largely to the fact that there is a scarcity of sheep to I sold, and as a result buyers have come into the field earlv. Especially are yearling ewes in lemand, and consequently splen did prices have been secured by men having such to sell. There has been a difference of about 50 cents per head in the price of ewes and wethers, the formes selling for $3.25, while the price of wethers has ranged in the vicinity of $2.75. SAW FINE COUNTRY Oregonian Writer Speaks Highly of Prineville Joseph Gaston, who recently made a trip through Central Ore gon, staging it from Shaniko through Prineville and Bend .lown to Klamath Falls, has the following to say relative to Prine ville in the three column article concerning his journey which he wrote last week for the Oregonian: Prineville has been the subject of much newspaper comment dur ing the past year. It is the county seat of Crook Countv and is well located at the junction of the Ochoco and Crooked River. It is now and will always be a pros perous town and fine business point, being the natural center and distributing point for more than 3,000,000 acres of rich country, embracing, the vallevs of the Mark, McKay, Mill and Ochoco Creeks, and the great valley of Crooked River and all its tribu taries; It has a fine hotel, two banks, a orosierous newspaper, a dozen or more large stores and shops, a school building that would he a credit to Portland, sev eral churches, and thev are now- erecting a stone -block for a hotel and store which would be a credit to any city of 50,000 people. Any railroad passing through this region must touch this town, for its business, which cannot be taken away from it, is so large that it cannot be neglected. The population is about 1200, of as hospitable and progressive people as can be found anywhere, and the place bids fair to become a very large town. There are, some rich valleys be tween Shaniko and Prineville, where vast quantities of alfalfa are raised and many thousands of sheep and, cattle fed. The Bald win ranch, owned by a fellow citizen, C. M. Cartwright, is a notable place, not only as a principality of a farm, hut for a whole village of nice buildings for the employes of the great estate, which owns 25,000 sheep and sev eral thousand cattle, and where the owner lives in a residence as fine as anything on "Nob Hill" in Portland.
