NO. 31 JOURNAL MAN VISITS Truck Farms, Several Or chards, Good Buildings. HURT INDUSTRY PROMINENT Prineville Hat Many Friend There-All Will Attend Our Chautauqua. Prineville has many friends in Terrebonne and the farming; sec tion surrounding, fur it Is here that, a ready market in found for their produce and a friendly feel ing for their enterprises. These citizen are anxious for a good connecting road, either wagon or rail, between the towns of Prino ville and Terrebonne, for they realize that our advancement is their gaiit. The farmers of this community are planning on spend ing a day or week at Prineville's Chautauqua, July 3-8. Few people in the cities or on easily developed lands realize the unpenning laNr and hardship necessary to bring an irrigated ranch to a stage of production. The strides mado in five years by settlers in the vicinity of Terre bonne have been wonderful and another tide of years will show an equal meaiiure of progress. Thotw who have pulsed east of Terrebonne neftr Smith Hock, have noticed the nm.le orchard of F. T. Gardner. Here 750, seven year old . trees show uniform growth. The hile frosts have killed most of the apples but there will be an abundance of nmll fruit and ber ries. Mr. Gardner sold ' potatoes last yenr fur (lining ear service to the railroad which features the "Big Naked Potatos" on it menu. J. A. Foss has a pioneer ranch of ICO acres which is devoted to alfalfa and gardening. Mr. Foss predicts four and five crops of Al falfa a season when the farmers realize the value of manure. In one instance a rancher came ten miles to Terrebonne for manure to use on h's land. This should lo an example to the man who allows this valuable by-product of a stock ranch to go to waste. ' Geo. Iunker has a five acre truck farm in this neighborhood which .clears more profit than the average one of 40 acre. Last year he raised 700 pounds of beans besides ' largo amounts of other staples. John M. Perry also has a larger acrlfcge which is used extensively for truck gardening. "; The irrigated section west of Terrebonne is divided chiefly into 40 acre tracts. A fine $1500 house is an attraction on tho J. C, Norris farm. Mr. Norris is making plans for a dairy and believes that every farmer should take up stock rais ing. Otho Baker has 300 apple trees on his forty that will be bearing next year. After considerable damage had been done to the tres by rabbits, he acted on a sugges tion and took the dead bodies of several of the pests and rubbed the scent on the trees. By doing this every four months the rabbits were kept away. J. C. McVey and L. R. Snap have each forty acres of alfalfa and clover which have ideal stands. Careful irrigating is thq secret of such success. Irrigate quickly and quit, t o much water is as bad as too little, they say. John Almeter has the largest .acreage in this farming section, CMAIUC3 r. MuGnr 320 devoted to alfalfa and grain raising. Ho has over a hundred Dnroc Jersey hogs that he is rais ing artichokes for and expects to ship them to the fall market. Mr. Almeter has erected a cow barn and other preparations for a dairy. The Farmer's Union of Terre bonne will hold a picnic at Teth crow bridge next Saturday, June 17. You are invited. STATE HEALTH OFFICE APPOINTSREGISTRARS Dr. David K. Roberg, state health officer, together with county health officer, Dr. J. H. Rosenberg, has just completed a trip over Crook county establishing regis trars in twelve different points in the county, for tho registration of vital statistics which includes births and deaths. These officers will have authority to issue burial permits to undertakers, and no burial can bo legal without one of these permits. It has been the law for some time to record these events, Dr. Kohcrg says, but the people have neglected to attend to it with the result tnut there is no information that is worth anything. A new law, which is known as the "Model Ijiw" which provides for the registration of births and deaths in smaller precincts than the county, is one under which the present registrars were appointed. Centers at which these officers were appointed arc: Redmond, Bend, Howard, Paulina, Pott, Sisters, Powell Butte, Roberts, Brothers, Imperial, Millican, and La Pine. j Mrs.' Anna Estes and ! Son Buy Confectionery Lafler's Confectionery w pur chased the first of the week by Mrs. Anna Estes and . son Ernest.

Formerly Conducted Log Cabin j Post Commercial Club Organ Saloon Convicted in Judge ! ized With Large Member. Bowman's Court M. J. McGrath of Bend was con victed twice Tuesday afternoon in Judge Bowman's court on charges of illegal sale of liquor. The state's witnesses were two girls who purchased the booze from McGrath at his home in Bend. His defense was that he did not take pay for the liquor, but that it was merely a present to the girls. In deciding the first case ' the jury was out about ten. minutes, in the second about two pours and a half. , ' McGrath was fined $100 and costs in the first case and $200 and costs in the second. He has thirty days in which to prepaic an appeal to the circuit court, and is at lib erty on a $1000 bond. District Attorney Wirtz says that in all probability McGrath will have to face two further charges when the grand jury meets. They are giving liquor to a female child under the age of IS years, which he has admitted, and con tributing to the delinquency of a minor, as one of the girls who bought wine and beer from Mc Grath was under ,the age of 18 years. The district attorney will take up thet delinquency charges and conduct an investigation before Judge Springer of the juvenile court Saturday. S. G. Hinkle returned froni Port land the first of the week. The honorary degree of Doctor of Laws was conferred upon Sam uel W.

A delegation of five cars of Prineville Commercial CJub mem bers went to Post yesterday to at tend a meeting of the newly organ ized Commercial Club at that place. The ladies ot the community had a bounteous spread prepared at the Newsom Creek school house, and after partaking of this the real matter of a business nature was taken up. Dr. Rosenberg, as acting chair man, outlined the policy of the local club in regard to road work. Stating that they were always ready to help in any way possible, at any time, and pointed out the I. istances of good work rendered. The way in which this was done, he showed, was through a highly con centrated action and . actual dona tion of half the cost of road con struction. The road in question is undoubt edly -very bad and it is a grievous matter with these people, but it is ito late to receive extensive aid from the county this year. How ever with the organized effort now apparsnt and with the help of the local club, we feel sure that the court can be made to see the need of repairs during the Summer. A delegation from the upper country will be sent for this pur pose to confer with the court at next . Friday's luncheon at the Methodist church. W. C. Congleton of Paulina was a business visitor yesterday. Spencer Mayhew who graduated from the local high in '13 gradu ates this year from O. A.

The buttons are numbered, and among the Iota are three tets of duplicates. Should the holders of these dupli cates find their duplicate number, each is given a season ticket to the Chautauqua without charge. Two sets of these have been , found already, Harry Hudson and Sylvian Michel having duplicate numbers and. Farnk Brosius and Judge Bowm&h also.
