The Place to Save Money Making Room for New Spring Good; We are going over our stock making inventory' and find that it will be necessary for us to reduce several lines to make room for new spring goods now on the road. 7 oward this end we are offering these goods at reduced prices and when we lower our regular price the careful buyers know that it means ROCK BOTTOM PRICES for DEPENDABLE GOODS These reductions are all on new, clean, bright goods not shelf worn remnants but we need the room the' fill, and can show you many better values than you can get elsewhere Garnet "UttJi Pupils Compete for Banner of Honor A contest in good behavior is now on among the several grades of the Prineville public schools. A handsome banner of green felt bearing the word", "The Order of Honor," worked in gold braid, now adorns the fifth grade room, Miss Jessie Hartley, teacher. To keep possession of the banner is the ob ject of the pupils, and the fifth grade was awarded the trophy for good order at the close .of the first week of the contest last Friday afternoon. The good order of the pupils in the schoolroom, on the play grounds, in passing about the building and in going to and from school are the points that count toward being the room of honor. A tabulated list of offenses has been made up, each offense count ing a certain number of points against the room in which the of fender is a pupil. At the close of each pchool week the teachers as semble as a board of judges and determime to which room pos session of the banner belongs. As each teacher is to keep tab on their own pupils as well as on the con duct of the pupils in the other rooms, the effect cannot help be ing beneficial to good order and discipline. The keen spirit of competition has already bad a marked influence on general de portment. Post Items. We have heard of inquiries be ing made as to whether or not the people of this neighborhood sur vived the cold spell of last month. We wish to inform all interested that the Newsom creekers, the Do littlers, the Crooked river and Bosinites all weathered the storm. Mrs. J. R.

MICHEL, - Prineville, Oregon home soon. She has been abtent several months visiting rt-Utlves near Portland ar.d at South lu-nd, Wash. The King-looked for bridegroom returned, but the bride, oh! where was she? They claimed to have a "cinch" on the weather at the E. T. Knox ranch during the "cold snap." The thermometer there would only reg ister 10 below zero so it couldn't get any colder. We think if there had been an investigation made they would have found that none of the frost has been "cinched" out The Do-little Flat people were about the only ones that had the pleasure of a sleighride during the fnow. They are a busy people in spite of the name. Post, Or., February 2. Redmond News. Redmond, Ore., Jan. 31, 1900.

As the report showed a descrip ancy of $ 14.50 in the amounts turned in to the treasurer and the amounts collected, the report was referred back to the committee with instructions -to confer with the ex-marshal for an explanation. It may be said here that the coun cil ca.sts no blame on anyone for this showing, crediting it pimply to the lax system in the way in which the records has been kept.

Mr. Shlpp favors relloatiug the bonds with an Increase in the amount sutlii ient to wipe out the city's In debtedness and pill enough money In the treasury to meet the current expenses on a cash basis. "The city of Pilnevllle Is now paying about 11 percent premium on every thing it buys. We should make our paper worth spot cash for its face value ami then we can get prices the same as any other buyer." This proposal seemed to meet w ith the gem-mi approval ot t lie council, and if the bonds are to be relloaled as seems probable III tin near future, It is very likely that this Htep will In taken.
