Price Delivered at your door the same day as published for 75c per month NOTICE The establishment of the new Deschutes County at the General Election held in No vember, 1916, necessarily made changes in the boundaries of some of the voting pre cincts in Crook County. Thereofre, it will be necessary that new boundaries be estab lished for a number of the precincts of said Crook County. The Attorney General has held that such changes shall be made at the December term of the County Court. There are also some localities that wish to have new precincts established. In either event. it will be well to advise the County Court how the boundaries are wanted. It is diffi cult for the Court to know just, where the lines should be established without some assistance from the voters. For that reason, I will suggest that any electors who. may desire to have changes made in their pre cincts, notify the County Court in time to make the proper changes at the December term, which will convene on Wednesday, December 6, 1917.
