Crook County Journal THURSDAY, FEB. 28, 1907. Subscription f J. 50 year. No one should misi the inter society contests at the Crook Coun ty High School Friday evening, March 1. It will afford our people an excellent opportunity to pee what our young men and women are doing along oritorical and de bating lines. While the high school student have been some what handicapped by the lack of proper reference books we feel sure they will give a good account of themselves. Turn out and ehow these young people that your ap preciate their work. Final locations have been com pleted on about 800 miles of sur veys for extentions of Harrinmn railroads in Oregon, and they are being placed on the new map that is to be published by the 0. R. A N. Company for next year, says the Portland Journal. If the lines as located are built they will open up to rail transportation the coun ties of Lake, Malheur, Klamath, Coos, Tillamook, Crook and Har ney, vast regions rich with natural resources and now completely isolated. A month without mail in Cen tral Oregon seems almost incredi ble, but that is about the size of it. A few letters have come in by way of Dufur but the number has been so small that it did not help mat ters much. We have no idea how the outside country has fared but to judge from our neglect by the postal authorities it must have been pretty bad. Now that Crook countv remains intact let all sections pull together for its advancement. Beginning tomorrow thousands of homeseek ers will come to Oregon seeking to better their condition. There are no better opportunities anywhere than right here in Crook county. Let us try and get a portion of this influx of settlers. Editor Myers of the Laidlaw Chronicle returns from Salem in a most bitter frame of mind. He acknowledges defeat but not very gracefully. His rant about our representatives and the reasons for the defeat of the bill creating Des chutes county are amusing. their present trouble when you take into consideration what peo ple elsewhere have had to go through, said this gentleman. I have talked with men from the Canadian Northwest and the tales they tell of suffering and hardship are' heartrending. The winter there was unparalleled in its severity. The thermometer reach ing (i0 below rero. Whole families were froien to death. Mr. Conrov tells of a case where the husband, and wife and three children were found frozen to death. The man was found dead in bed and his w ife was frozen stiff by the cook stove. The children were found in bed not quite dead but so badly frozen that they died shortly after relief came. Another case was that ot a young school teacher who had taken up a homestead. She was found frozen to death by her stove where she had evidently tried to light a tire as the kindling and wood were laid ready to light. The poor woman discovered too late that she was without matches in that awful cold She had plentv of food and lots of wood on hand but nothing to light her fire. And still another case was where fifteen passengers left a stalled train to make their way to a near by town. They misjudged the distance and every one of them was frozen to death. Cattle were found standing frozen rigid where they were feed ing. The stories brought out from the Northwest are almost incredu lous, said Mr. Conroy. My jour ney to Moro was simply awful, but in the face of what the people of the Canadian Northwest have gone through you have much to be thankful "for. Mr. Conroy left Tuesday for his home in Van couver, where he is engaged in the furniture business. IVrwrtnivnt f th tutorior. Notice for I'uMicutioit. Ijtvii Otttoe t The 1'e.llre. On-gun.

The Famous English Comedy Hard Trip Coming from The Dalle. S. P. Conroy of Vancouver, B. C, who formerly lived for a short time at Madras, and who came to Prineville Sunday on business con nected with the Madras Milling Co., reports having had the hard est trip of his life in coming from The Dalles to Shaniko, especially from The Dalles to Moro. Mr. Conroy traveled in company with his son-in-law and eoon after leaving The Dalles it became necessary to hire two extra men to help with the buggy and team. Even with this extra help it was thought to be impossible to get through Rattlesnake canyon on ac count of recent landslides. The grade being either torn out en tirely or buried beneath a mass of debris many feet deep. This mass was frozen so hard that a shovel had no effect upon it. Axes had to be used to cut a trough on the upper side of the grade to keep the buggy from going down the mountain tide. With the aid of ropes and tackle the hill was sur mounted by almost superhuman effort. The horses had to be un hitched many times and the buggy carried around places where it was impossible to drive. Arriving at Moro February 19, the home of Mr. Conroy's son-in-law, it was found almost impossible to get anywhere on account of the high water The team they were driving had to be hitched to an apple tree in the yard because of the torrent that was sweeping between the house and the barn. There was some two feet of snow on the ground at Moro when a chinook came along and converted it into a raging tor rent. This flood is what caused the second delay in the coming of our mails. The roadbed of the Columbia Southern disappeared as if by magic. In many places the ties and rails were left suspended in the air and then again the ties were left standing on end where only one side of the roadbed was washed out. The Columbia South ern is in bad shape, and no mis take, said Mr. Conroy. Yet the people of Central Oregon have no right to complain about While discussing County division And old resident county right. Will say we've won the victory And done thing up just right. Drake got up one early morn Arising from a dream, A chance he'd found to double up On one big wild cat scheme. He laid his plans through in and out And sent them to the pre. And told the folks in Western Crook That he would make us gues. The west side office seekers Many falne report did atrew. And the lobbyists they sent them to Salem Are now, returning blue. Their cash could buy the delegation And they left it not with us, But tried to show In legislation That old Crook was overplus. They held their meetings here and "there And most of all at Sisters, Where Weit got up to queek a bit. With words as hot as blisters. Weist opened up with all his might To show his indignation. When Prineville folks had just stepped in Beneath his observation. "Good Willie" stood just by the door Commenting on his gag. But when the foes had taken seats Tried to stop Weist with a ting John D. made his in kerosene And Itvan made his teef. Drake won't make his in city lots At least that s our belief. Friend Meyers is a darned good man Esiiecially in his sleep. Yet three dollars would buy him out Man, shop and sheet. Ralph Spencer lives at Silver Lake And runs the town print shop. The grafters round about the Bend Did cheaply buy him up. Thev wrote to buy the Prineville Press But the reply they got was no, For Editors at the County sent Are not on sale, "Ba Jo." Of all the lies that go to print They come from Chaw. D. Rowe, He told the truth once In his life But that was years ago. Then last of all comes Grand Ma P k Who sold cheap silver ware. She's slinging mud at Rev. Street Of Grand Ma P k, beware. Anon. Notice to Stockmen.
