Oregon troop are first to be muttered in this time a in the Spanish American War, were first to start to the front, a in the former war. So far as we are able to learn, more men signed for service a United State volunteer in Prine ville in the same length of time than in any community of several times its size, Hi having been signed here in about three hours. A strict censorship is being main tained by the United States govern ment as to the numbers of troops, but it is estimated that no less than 100,000 men will be on the border by the end of the week. Engagements are reported at different points along the border, dispatches today stating that a tcr riflie battle took place on Mexican soil just recently. Two new Buiek automobiles were stolen from the Inland Auto Company recently and have, in all probability, been taken into Cana da or at least some state that is a long way from Oregon. Two sheepmen, Frank and Ralph Jamison, came to the Inland garage and bought a new ear each, one a seven passenger machine, the other a five, paid a reasonable payment on them, and signed contracts to the effect that they would pay the remaining $2100 or more when they sold their wool which they said would be in a few days. The investigation of their affairs reveals the fact that the wool was heavily mortgaged and has since been taken over by parties who held the lein, the Inland people state also, the sheep and other pro perty. Other facta lead to a furth er Inquiry. This took time which gave tho Jamisons coniderable of a '. start before it was realized that they were gone. . '- Several hundred circulars have "been mailed to officers of the law , throughout the northwest and they will no doubt - be apprehended. A reward of (100 is offered for their arrest Or .for the recovery of the cars. nil JULY FOURTH TO BE BUSY EVERY MINUTE Details of Parade all Ar rangedPrizes.

FOilY-Sffl Ml t Less Than Half Day Required to Raise Half a Company. JAY H. UPTON CAPTAIN OF CO. Thos. Sharp, Jr., Second Lieu tenant Company Probably Be Complete this Week. When the United States calls for volunteers to go into Mexico, which it will perhaps do within ten days unless some change develops, a regimftit of men will be made up in Oregon, one company of which will go from Prineville. The regi ment, is being signed as rapidly as possible through companies in many parts of the state, and Colo nel C. U. Gaptenbein who will com mand, .Lopes to have it up to war strength by the time the call comes. The Prineville company, which will be composed Of not less than 80 men with the maximum limit at 145, will be commanded by Captain Jay H. Upton, who like Colonel Gantenbein, is a' veteran of the Spanish-American War, and Second Lieutenant of the company will be Thomas Sharp, Jr., who has also seen service. Ten men had signed the books before they had been open an hour yesterday afternoon, and from the number of inquiries that are being received, it is apparent that the company will reach its maximum strength soon. Men from all parts of Crook and Jefferson counties, as well as Lake and Grant are invited to join this company. These men will not be called into active service until a call is isued, which from recent developments looks to be in the near future. Married men arc discouraged by the officers, yet none' will be re fused a place if they wish to go. The only questions that most of the men ask are about how soon they can get started to Mexico. All expenses of travel and equipment will be paid by the government' in cluding fare to Portland when the call issues. Men should be under 35 years of age and in good health. They will be required to pass a medical ex amination. 'It is quite probable that the vol unteers will see service before the companies of the Oregon National Guard, which are already on their way to the border. The names of Prineville men who have signed for service are: Jay H. Upton, J. G. Malech, C. C. Hyde. C. O. Pollard, John Dobry, Walter Manion, F. E. Can trell, P. Harris, R. L. Reynolds, W. W. Yancey, H. C. Holman, Arthur Sanders, Joe Smelzer, Geo. Barcley, Willard Writz, B. A. Sor dal, Frank Dinges, Orval Dillon, Perma Marker, Oren Jones, J. R. Hannon, G. Ernest Estes, H. I.

Houses Of fer Specialties. ALL GOODS ARE THE BEST Everything You Want May Be Bought at Prices Unequaled Anywhere. One of the strongest attractions that any town can offer its custom ers is a dollar week. The custom has been followed for some time in various parts of the country, but Prineville is the first town in interior Oregon to take up the plan and as is charac teristic of Prineville merchants it has been worked' out in detail. i Every business place in the city has special inducements for the week. These include staple articles of all kinds. Flour, lard, soap, groceries of all kinds, clothing specials and everything in the cata log in fact, will be sold according to the plans worked out by the merchants, and a price that repre sents as little as fifty per cent of actual values. All of the goods are standard, many of the merchants having bought ,new stocks for use during the sale. Every business house will have its Dollar . Week specials on display Monday morning . and anyone who contemplates purchasing a bill of goods soon will make money by looking these specials over. Don't forget however that the stores and shops will all close from 2:15 until after the afternoon pro gram at the Chautauqua tent. That program is a good one every day, and as the business men brought it here, they of course wish to attend them all. Open until 7:15- each evening. RRIGATION AT RIGHT TIME BRINGS RESULTS The necessity for irrigation water is often not fully appreciated even by those who already own creek water rights. A water right which assures a supply of irrigation water only until about June first, in average years, is apt to be a good deal of an aggravation be cause it enables its owner to raise only part of a crop, and sometimes even that is burned up before it properly mftures. Tiie trouble is not due to the small quantity of water put on the land under the present rights,' but to the fact that such as is put on must all go on before the creek supply dies out about June first. A water right to be of greatest value, should enable its owner to get water in proper quantity at any time during the growing season. This he cannot do when only the seasonal flow of tle various creeks is used. In other words the man who owns a creek water right, under present conditions only receives the benefits from a very small part of a real water right., j ,, By the construction of ' the storage reservoirs contemplated by the Ochoco District, these, creek water, rights will in a sense, be finally v perfected in as much as a majority of the ; owpers thereof will, foK the first time, receive the Continued on page 5.
