OPPOSITION WITHDRAWN Oregon Trunk Line May Build Up the Deschutes LET THE WORK BEGIN Thoie in Search of Cheap Homes Should Get la Before Prices Co Up. The government reclamation wervice na withdrawn it opj xition to the conntruction of the Oregon Trunk Railroad ur the Dtr chute river "and wok i now pxtwl to go forward without de lay. Engineer V. 8. Gordon, who i in charge of the work, nays that the railrondV right-of-way ha lx-en granted. It will lie rememtiered that sur vey were completed lact year but after the work of grading the line had been carried on for a time no tice was received that the line en croached upon the preserve of the reclamation wrice and that work in tint atop. In commenting on the withdrawal of opposition by the government the Portland Journal ay: The announcement that the gov ernment reclamation service will allow the Oregon Trunk railroad to be built up the Deschutc river, and into the broad table land of Crook county, will be exceeding good news to the rapidly increas ing number of settlers in that region. It seems there is but one practical route for a railway to enter that isolated country from the north, and that this route must cross land reserved by the reclamation service for the con struction of a iwwer dam. in the Deschutes river, but it has been decided on further investigation that the railroad could be built without interfering seriouslv with the reclamation project. Now if the compnny will go ahead and extend its road from the mouth of the Deschute and on through per haps to Rend, thousands of settlers in that region will be happy, and encouraged to put forth greater ef forts, nnd many other thousands will go into that country to acquire the comrarativelv cheap lands that mav bo secured there. Large Areas of that large region tributary to the projected railroad arc already under irrigation, and more will be; but aside from these many settlers are proving that they can do fairly well by dry land farming by the Campbell method, raising good crops with out irrigation. As this non-irrigated land is to lie had cheaply, and there is a vast area of it, a great number of homeseekers of small means, who cannot nffort to buy improved farms of richer soil, will be attracted to that region, and will do well there. But at least one railroad, that will move their surplus products out and bring their merchandise in at reasonable rates, is an absolute ne cessity to success. Hence if this railroad, now that the govern ment's opposition is withdrawn, should be built, we may look for even a far greater development in that region than, has taken place durine the past few years. The great central Oregon country will ere long have more than one rail road outlet, and then its growth will be of the healthy boom order Steam Fittings Just Received.

There wa a spirited contest for place on the debating team Fri day evening at the highc school Out of about a dozen candidate three were chosen to represent the Crook County High Bchool in the coming contest with The Dalle in Prineville on Friday evening, May 10. The successful candidates were Luther Moore, leader; David Pickett and Ruben Booten. The alternates were Agnes Elliott and Randolph Ketch urn. The judges had plenty of good material to se lect from and have every confi dence in the ability of the Crook County boy to uphold the honor of their school. It is true thev lack the experience of the older team from The Dalles but they more than offset this handicap in other respects. We have the win ning team. Skeleton Upturned while Plowing. V II. Keehn, who has a ranch 25 miles up Crooked river, un earthed the skeleton of a white man while plowing a short time ago. The gruesome find bear evi dence of age. Many of the bones crumbled when exposed to the ir. The body was buried alout twelve inches below the surface. The people of that locality have no theory to offer that would seem to fit the case. Whether the man was murdered or died from natural causes will never be known. There s not enough fragments left upon which to base any conclusion. Another New Telephone Line. J. II. Gray was in from Bonny view farm Tuesday. He says that the people of his neighborhood held a meeting Saturday to take steps toward organizing a district telephone company. Delegates were appointed to confer with the Bear Creek Telephone Company to see upon what basis an agreement could be reached so as to use their line to Prineville. Eleven sub scribers have already been secur ed with several more to hear from. This "Is a step in the right direc tion and shows that the community appreciates modern conveniences. Bound To Strke Water. Eight farmers who reside in the neighborhood of the Magill ranch on Agency Hams have pleuced their support and assistance in solving the water question for that locality, which Mr. Magil has undertaken. They have reached a depth of about 140 feet in the well, and Mr. Magill was finding the ex penses a rather heavy burden for one man to bear alone, for which reason his neighbors will "join with him in the enterprise. Those who have joined Mr. Magill in the en terprise are A. P. Clark, J. Strain, Peter Kilburg, S. II. Edmondson, Howard Rlackerby, G. W. Csnard, Charles Crofut and W. H. Ramsey, and others of that locality are ex pected to join with them also. The well will be sunk several hundred feet more, at least, before work is stopped, and should sufficient water not be found by that time, work will be temporarily suspend' ed until after harvest. It is be' lieved however that sufficient water will be found before work is stopped. A small flow of watep was en countered last week, but not suf ficient for all purposes. This water was lost, however, the first of the week w hen a stratum of soft sand stone was encountered, the water lisappearing in the sandstone. On Saturday evening water stood in the drilled hole 10 or 15 feet deep, hut when drilling was com menced on Monday and the sand formation was struck, all of this water immediately disappeared.

ATTENTION SCHOOLS A Word from the Coun- ,ty School SupL PREPARE EXHIBITS The Crook County Fair Associa tion wOl give Prizes for the Best Work. The Fair Association has made a new list of premiums for the school exhibit for the coming autumn. The amount has been increased somewhat and arranged so as to give every one a chance at a premium. In decisions on school exhibits, quality and not quantity will bp considered. At least 20 per cent of all classes must be represented, for instance, if there are 20 pupils in a class there must be at least 4 papers exhibited. This will put the small schools on the same foot ing as the larger schools aa the papers or work must be the four best out of twenty instead of the first beet, while the small school ith 5 or less in a class need ex hibit only the first best, etc. Each grade should be represent ed by the required 20 per cent of the class or more. Work should be practical every day work such as is usually required in the regu lar school work. Pencil may be used in grades under the third. A good quality of paper should be used to be about 8J inches by 11 inches and pupils should write on only one side. Each class and grade's work should be grouped before sending in. All manuscripts should be sent direct to the County School Superintendent and any sugges tions or help in arranging the work will be appreciated. Teachers and Pupils Now is the time to begin arranging for the exhibit The Fair Association has been as liberal as their funds would allow and we should now do our part. Teachers, you can make this an incentive to good written work in the school room and you will be able to secure the best efforts of the pupils without losing any time from the regular lessons and you will also be encouraging correct habits in written work. Any paper handed m from now on will be ac cepted, although the fair will not be held till some time in October. Teachers and pupils will be placed at a better advantage and will be able to prepare a better exhibit by saving the best effort from the close of this term rather than from the beginning of next, and many schools can be represented that will not be in session at the time of holding the fair. We would like - to have every school in the county represented and every teacher's name on the list of teachers whose pupils will have work exhibited. You will notice that the premi urns are arranged so that every school no matter how small may compete for one or more premiums and also the pupils will have only those near their grade attainment to emulate. Grades will be taken into consideration by judges in their decisions. Any school in the county may enter for general school exhibit, only the erades mentioned can compete for the special prizes. Teachers your name will be looked for and, if it appears noticed and remembered. Pupils your, name will be looked for by parents and friends and they will be disappointed if it does not ap. pear, strangers w.!! sotice your work if it appears " and look for your name, the name of the teacher and the school. Here is an oppor tunity to earn a premium for your self, help earn one for your school and by doing good work, help you school, your teacher and yourself. Parents Here is an opportunity to assist children and their teachers and to help build up your school by encouraging an incen tive to better work. Will you fall in line? The following is a list of the school premiums: First it school exhibit, fnterna al Dictionary Second IWt school exhibit 5. ' Third Beat school exhibit $.1.

Our exhibit was good last year and quite a number of schools rep resented, let ns all put our shoulders to the wheel and push for a better one this year, and not only that but for the best possible. Yours truly, C. B. Dinwiddie, Co. School Supt. The Crook County Fair. Prineville, Ore , April 9, 1907. Editor Journal The Board c! Directors of the Central Oregon Livestock and Agricultural Associ ation wish to inform the people of Crook county that the premium list is now being revised and will be published soon. The fair will be held about the middle of next October. We expect to offer premiums on nearly every product of the county. We are very much disappointed by the action of Governor Chamber lain in voting the bill passed by the legislature creating a Central Oregon Agricultural district and appropriating $750 annually to ward premiums to be awarded at the fairs. It seems that the State Association got $20,000 to build new stock sheds on the state fair grounds, but Central Oregon was denied the very moderate amount of $750. We expected better treat ment from the Governor. T. H. Lafollett, President of the Board. Bondholders Meet State Officials. Bondholders of the Columbia Southern Irrigation Company, which has been assailed by settlers in Crook county because of al leged failure to furnish water and nonfulfillment of a contract enter ed into with the State Land Board for the reclamation of 27,000 acres of land, met at the office of Gov ernor George E. Chamberlain, in this city. Besides Governor Cham berlain the state is represented by Attorney-General Crawford. It was through an amicable ar rangement between the stockhold ers and officers of ,the company on one side and the bondholders on the other that it was planned for the latter to take over the com pany, enect a reorganization and secure the consent of the State Land Board to a continuation of the contract, the understanding being that the improvements first planned would be executed. Gov ernor Chamberlain was first ap proached on the question, and after hearing the details of the pro posal expressed himself as satis fied. He said he would make no objection to the proposition if it was agreeable to the board. The bondholders have reorgan ized the company with the follow ing officers: W. H. Moore, presi dent; J. Frank Watson, vice-presi dent; U. M. Kemp, secretary, and E. E. Lytle, treasurer. Telegram. Dissolution Notice.
