Fox, who was in Prineville a number of years ago, is back here visiting relatives and having a short vacation. Mr. Fox has been in Portland for more than two years, and is office manager of the "Out to Win" prohibition forces of this state. While in Crook county he expects to spend a good deal of his time furthering the interests of state-wide prohibition. Among other things he will act as advance agent for S. W. G rath well, the noted prohibition orator, who will visit this district this week. Mr. Grathwell is the cham pion orator of the Pacific coast col leges, having recently won first place against all comers at Los An geles. Full details of Mr. Gath well's Prineville meetings will ap pear in another columri, and judg ing from advance press notices he will be well worth hearing, being entertaining as well as instructive. The meetings will be free. Three meetings have been ar ranged for Mr. Grathwell: Friday evening in the Club Hall at 8 p. m. Saturday evening at 7 p. m., and Sunday evening in the Baptist church. The latter will be a union service of all the churches, and will be held at the usual hour of 8 p. m. immediately following the Federa tion of Young People's Societies in the same church. No admission charged. Serious Forest Fires on Ochoco Watershed Three forest fires of considerable size have occurred in this portion of the Blue Mountains during the past two weeks. One 200 acre fire in the Silver Creek watershed and one covering 300 acres on upper Willow, but the largest one occurred be tween Marks and Mill creeks just outside the National Forest boun dary, and so dry is the ground cover that before it could be put under control it had spread over an area of between 700 and 800 acres. Forest Rangers Ingram and Don nelly were in charge of the control work and had 20 men on the fire line during one day. Supervisor Ross is highly pleased with the man ner in which the ranchers in that locality responded to the call for help. It shows the right spirit on the part of the farmers and the forest service appreciates it. Rattlesnake Found Within City. Limits Rattlesnakes are more numerous this year than ever before. They have been killed by the dozens on McKay and a great many right in the door yards. One big fellow as yellow as gold was killed on McKay mountain recently. Secretary Cadle killed one near the fair grounds few weeks ago. He was going ud the ditch to turn the water in and seeing a plank near the bank picked it up and there lay the venemous reptile, coiled ready to strike. Wallace Cadle killed one at the south end of the lane leading to the fair grounds last month. Never before were they known to come so close 10 town. One was found in the J. B. Shipp yard but got under the house before being killed. Now that is getting too close to be com fortable. Some claim it is the dry weather that is bringing them in If it is, let us all get busy and wish for rain. .Think rain; all center your thoughts on the word rain, until it actually pours down. Not only here, but we notice in several of our exchanges from other counties where rattlesnakes have been killed in the streets and door yards of the different towns In Corvallis a week or so ago a fellow killed and buried a snake three times before it gave up to die The first two times he was certain he had killed him and each time buried him deep, but after an hour or so in passing the spot found the same snake in the same place, some bruised, but very much alive and right on the fight. But this hap pened to be a big black bull snake It doesn't make much difference what kind of a snake it is. It's a snake just the same, and we don't want them "hangin' 'round." Open Season for Deer Suspended With the hope of preventing the origin and spread of forest fires during the dry seasonl Governor West has issued a proclamation suspending open season for deer until September 1. A telegram to the forest service here from the head office in Portland says to in form all hunters and in case oi violation report in full to the state game warden. Lyric Saturday Program The fifth installment of "The Perils of Pauline" will be shown at the Lyric this Saturday at the mat inee and evening show. In this number Pauline, who it would seem has already had enough fearsome adventures, falls into the hands of villainous Chinese Highbinders. Of course, the manner of her escape, aided by Harry, will be shown on the screen. Two other pictures, ''The Restless Woman," a Biograph film, and "Luck in Odd Numbers," an Essanay comedy, complete the bill. WHY WEAK LUNGS? The toll of tuberculosis is claiming more than 350 victims every day in the United States, yet few realize their grave condition until the critical period arrives. Overwork, worry, weakness after sick ness, catarrh, bronchitis, tender throatfi all exert the weakening influence that invites consumption. To guard against consumption, thou sands of people take Scott'sEmulsion after meals because its rich medicinal nourish ment strengthens the lungs, puts vigor in the blood, and upbuilds strength to resist tuberculosis. Scott's Emulsion is nature's etrength-builder, Refuse substitutes. Each Hunter Gets Limit of Sage Hens Frank Foster, Oscar Hyde, D. H. Peoples, Sichel Hinkle and Tom Quinn composed a merry party of hunters who motored to Combs Flat Sunday in quest of sage hens. Each got the limit; no more, no less. Someone took their "lunch" out of the spring while they were away from camp and by the time they reached home they were almost famished.
