The various department of thia in stitution were never in better con dition. With a large enrollment haa come increased interest and work along the different lines is excellent. Tbe increase of students in the business department has necessi tated the purchase of six new tables, just double the number used before. The demand for penmanship has been so great that a class has been organzied offering the work. About forty student have enrolled. A class has been organized in commercial law and a lively in terest has resulted in this branch of tbe subject. The enrollment is not as large as desired but enough student have signified their inten tion of joining to justify a perman ent class. Some lively debates take place almoBt every day: The Crook County High School is making good use of it lantern and elides. Tbe English depart ment receives great help and in spiration from this source. Other department will be provided with slides later on.

The tennis court is occupied most of the time; a basket ball ground has been laid off on the vacant lot just east of the campus and it re ceives its proper attention. A liberel number of the devotees of the national game keep the dia mond busy most of the time. A football squad is 'working every evening and members of the two societies hope to be able to give the people of Prineville an exhibi tion ofthe great college and high school game by Thanksgiving time. At the last meeting of the Board a number of needed improvements were decided upon. It is the pur pose of those in authority to make the buildings and grounds attrac tive as well as conductive to the best all around work.

Thereupon the following proceeding were had: Upon a petition signed by over 10 per cent ot tbe legal voters of Crook county, Oregon, being filed with the County Clerk, as provided by law, asking that an election be held on November 8, 1910, to" de termine whether the sale of intox iating liduors shall be prohibited in Crook county, Oregon, sb a whole, and it satisfactorily appear ing to the court that 313 registered voters of Crook county, Oregon, have signed said petition and that 1335 ballots was tbe total vote cast in said Crook county, Oregon, for justice of the supreme court at the last proceeding general election.

Court adjourned subject to call. D. I. & P. CO. WILL REORGANIZE New Company Capital ized for $1,500,000 IMPORTANT MEETING NOV. 14 Men, Teams, Surveyors and Crew of all Kinds Ready for Work. A dispatch to the Oregonian says: With the filing of articles of incor poration for the Central Oregon Irrigation Company to suc ceed and take over the work of the Deschutes Power fc Irrigation Com pany, and with the State Land Board acquiescing in the recent decree of Federal Court, confirm ing tbe sale, further steps were taken ia Salem toward re organization of tbe old company. The State Land Board split on the question of acquiescing in the order of the Federal Court, State Engineer John II. Lewis wishing to hold up such acquiescence until it is possible to make some new contracts and receive further as surances from the company. Our plan which the state engineer has in mind is a tax of 50 cent an acre to come from tbe settler to place in tbe state Treasury for the reclamation fund. He contended that the state has advanced con siderable money for the workings of this project and be wishes to re ceive assurance that the state will get some of it back. Roscoe Howard and Jesse Stearns who were here representing the new company, said that in all proba bility they would be willing at some future convenient time. to make this concession of 50 cents an acre by raising the price of the lands, but that they desire time to think it over. The State Engin eer wished to make this a considera tion for acquiescing in the Federal Court order, but the board finally allowed the order over the protest of the State Engineer. Attorney- General Crawford said that it must be understood in acquiescing that the board merely considered itself as ceasing to do business with the old company and starting to do business with the new company. Articles of incorporation for the new company show a capitaliza tion of $1,500,000 with F. S. Stan ley, A. F. Biles and Jesse Stearns as incorporators. Mr. Stearns said to the Board that the net assets of the company now amount to $730, 000, exclusive of the money which may be derived for the sale of land in development work. In the articles it is shown that tbe company plans to develop the Pilot Btitte, Central Oregon. . Ben- bam Falls and North Canals. It was said at the meeting that work of construction on the North Can al would be started first, possibly some time this Fall, but at the very latest by next Spring. It was shown by representatives of the new company that the Benbam Falls canal is now merely a re- Continued on inside page.
