Roller Word has been received from Lakeview, Oregon, that G. M. Roller, the painter, died at that place on September 20 of heart failure. G. M. Roller lived in Prineville about a year and a half and was one of the firm, of Roller, McClum & Roller. Being in poor health he sold his interests and left Prine ville in February last lor Gold Field, Nevada. He got as far as Lakeview on his way to Nevada when overtaken by death. Mr. Roller was born in the state of Michigan in August, 1954. He leaves a daughter, Mrs. E. M. Furman who lives in Los Gatos, CaL, and a son Albert B. Roller of Prineville, also three brothers who live in different parts of California. He was well known here and painted quite a few pictures and scenery in this place. How To Test The Purity of Water If drinking water were tested frequently, much sickness would thereby be avoided. The follow ing simple method is given for ascertaining the purity of drinking water; Draw a tumbler of water from the tap or pump at night, put a piece of white cube sugar in it, and place it where the tempera ture will not be under 65 degrees, Fahrenheit. In the morning, the water, if pure, will be perfectly clear; if contaminated by sewerage or other impurities, the water will be milky. This is a simple and safe test and easily mad?. At a meeting of the Prineville Creamery Association last Hatur- day it was decided to start the creamery as soon as a butter maker could be had and the necessary arrangements made for the operation of the machinery. The applications of two butter makers were considered and that of A. Miller accepted. Mr. Miller received bis training in Denmark and is considered to be one of the bet butter makers in the United States. He is now and has been for fifteen years the manager of a big co-operative creamery at Coun cil Bluffs, Iowa. He has won gold medals for his company and is ranked as one of the best in the state of Iowa. Mr. Miller has his family on a homestead at Powell Buttes and hence Prineville ie fortunate in securing. a first-class man to btart the new plant. Mr. Miller was summoned by tele graph Monday morning and is ex expected here right away. The officers of the creamery as sociation are trying to make a contract with the various stage lines for the handling of cream and it will perhaps be practicable to ship separated cream from points as far distant as Rosland on the npper Deschutes. It is thought this can be done during the winter when the weather is cool. The number of cows that are available at present for the pro duction of butter fat for the creamery will perhaps reach 350 and the number may exceed that figure before spring. The importance of "tHis enter prise to Crook county can hardly be over estimated. In a lecture to the farmers at the Redmond fair Prof. Kent of the Oregon Agricul tural College talked at length on the advisability of establishing a To CROOK COUNTY FAIR AND RACES creamery in that vicinity realize the importance of such an undertaking one should talk to some man who has had the wide range of practical experience that Prof. Kent has had while in the employ of the state at O. A. C. Prof. Kent said in part: "The value of the butter making indus try to a community like this can hardly be over estimated.- Most people regard the creamery busi ness, whether carried on in the home or on a larger Bcale, as a business of only secondary im portance. This, however, is a wrong impression. The people of interior Oregon have produced a tremendous grain crop this year and are having great difficulty in marketing it. The production of a crop of that nature takes a tan gible amount of substance out of the soil and when the xrop is shipped from the field as these are about to be the production of that crop was an injury in a sense to the soil, while on the other hand, the production of a butter 'crop' if we may call it such, is only a benefit to the soil and the question of transportation is an easy one in regard to the last mentioned crop. The cost of getting a pound of wheat for example, to the outside market is about one cent per pound from this point, while the cost of transporting a pound of butter would perhaps be about a cent and a quarter. For the first crop you will not be able to get more than actual cost, for the second the profit on a like weight will at the present price per pound of butter in the Portland markets, be about 30 - cents per pound. From what I have been able to see ofCentralOregon.it is a natural diary country and I think I can tell a dairy country when I see one for I have been in the dairy busi ness in this state about seven years." If the Prineville Creamery As sociation do nothing more than supply the local markets with butter alone, it will mean the keeping in Crook county several thousand dollars that have been going to support the industry in Willamette Valley and other places. Crook County Journal, county official paper, $1.50 a vear. The third annual Crook County Fair will begin at Prineville on Thursday, October 24 and con tinue until the 29th. From the present outlook it will far surpass anything we have ever attempted. Secretary Macleod says that letters of inquiry come in from all parts of the county concerning stalls and exhibits. The premium list this year is the largest ever offered and covers every known kind and breed of live stock in Central Oregon, as well as all agricultural and hor ticultural products. If you have anything on the ranch worth see ing, bring it to the fair. Don't go back home and tell your neighbors that you had stuff that could beat the prize winners. All should unite to make the exhibit typical of our resources. There could be no better advertisement for the country. Some people seem to think that the fair is held too late in the season to warrant the best re sults. In some respects this may be true, but if we regard the en tire field covered it is not so. At the Deschutes Valley fair at Red mond last month many people expressed the opinion that the date of that exhibition was too early. Many ranchers were har vesting or had just finished and did not have time to prepare ex hibits. During the latter part of this month everyone will be through with the grain harvest and all will have ample time to prepare something, let it be ever so little. The races this year will attract horses from all parts of Oregon. A horse from Marshfield, Coos county, arrived the first of the week and commenced to traiu Tuesday. A good string of flyers are expected from Burns, Canyon City and John Day and other places. As the Burns fair comes off October 8 to 12 this leaves ample time for the racing stock to reach Prineville and get in good condition for the Crook county meet. Redmond Items. Most of us have been interested in one way or another the past week in the return from the valley of the various parties that have been over there for fruit and on various other items of business and pleasure. J. R. Woods got in Saturday and C. R. McLallin, A. J. Booth and W. E. Young got in Tuesday with their wives and families also Mrs. Finas Woods and Mrs. Whitney and Robbie. They were all glad to get to sit in a chair (.gain and most of them have enough of crossing the mountains until they can go on the train. Mrs. Young had the misfortune to sustain a very severe fracture of the arm on the way over and had to proceed to Eugene before hav ing it Bet. It gave her a good deal of pain on the way back but is getting along nicely now. J. E. Lamb also had bad luck in the loss of one of his horses from a broken leg. His arrival is ex cted in a day or two. Many of those who went over went into camp and canned fruit in five gallon cans, bringing it home soldered. Some brought no green fruit whatever. J. R. Woods brought home three cows and J. ru. Lamb is bringing ojie. Others priced them but thought they were too high to buy with profit. Mr. Sigerson and II. F. Tinsley go to Hightower Smith's at the old Dorance mill today. Frank McCaffery with his brother and their wives were Sisters visitors last week. Mrs. P. K. Simons of Shaniko is expected in soon for a visit with friends. Z. T. McClay and A. J. Booth are starting this morning to haul D. I. & P. lumber from Hightower Smiths to the flume site on the old river bed near Powell Buttes. Mr. Tuck begins a term of school this morning in the O'Neil district, E.C. Park.
