It is encouruglng however to note the trend of all notes and communi cations concerning peace which is to the effect that this is to bo the lust great war. ami that some agreement will be reached at the end of this strife that will allow all differences to be settled as this ! dispute, whatever it is. if any there has been, will be settled In the end, by arbitration. The condition now hjwever is an outgrowth of the old barbaric sys tem, and the United States and Its citizens are governed accordingly. JAY H. DOBBIN. President HENRY L. CORBETT. Vice-Pres. J.

Not many people thought that the "Bone Dry" measure would be a doptedatthe 1916 election and some of the prohibition leaders were out spoken against it. feeling that such an issue would weaken the support for other legislation. The measure was adopted for the very simple reason that the com mon people were pleased with the work of the law which went Into effect less than a year before the election was held, and wanted to adopt this more stringent measure. The fact that many members of the legislature who are known to be users of liquor voted and worked for the passage of the law which went into effect last Friday, and which makes Oregon really dry for the first time since it became a state means but one thing and that is that the people can get exactly what they want if they know that they want it and are of a mind to go out after it. The benefit of banishing grog shops from the state has been too marked for any man to question. It is the old problem of wasted energy, wasted morals and squan dered finances all of which lead to broken and ruined homes, as against all that is right and proper. The American people are evident ly going to banish this evil from the nation within the next few years, and the eyes of the entire Union are upon Oregon just now.

The Prineville team had the dis advantage of meeting more ex perienced debaters, and were de feated after an honest fight of which the school and town may well be proud. i No school In the state has had the good fortune to win the cupt twice In succession, and we are yet on as good ground as any school In the state. Here's hoping that the story may be different next year, and that Prineville will be the school to win the cup In final analysis. - i had something to do with the weather this year. The less money spent for booze, the more there Js with which to buy shoes, and other things for the little folks. Now is the time to select seed grain. Get the best there Is, which does not always mean the most ex pensive. Improper seed causes the loss of many dollars worth of crop some years. It will soon be time for the first sage rat story, and just a little later we will have something about the big catches of trout.
