c CROOK COL' NTT JOURNAL OCTOBER 0, 10l fW5 CATTLE MOVEMENTS TSKI) IiOTS OF OREGON" JUSTIFIED OK TUI NEVILLE EAT PLENTIFUL, CAHLE COOD Vtexfan Coming For Many Milen To The Alfalfa Stacks In The Vicinity of Prineville The heavr movement of cattle In 71 grades from finished bwf oft the gram to cows and calves. Is dsck to its old time swing this fall, and in tact present indications are that there will be more cattle on toed in this Ttcinity during the winter than rr before. Shortage of hay and poor ranges In onnties to the south and east has keen responsible for the heavy move vent of feeders into this vicinity, ore than 1.000 head are coming in from Lake county alone to local lots, and from these movements, herds tkat were depleted because of hay Aorta gees last year will be to their Knit again for the spring. From Wheeler and as far as Grant oonty in that direction are coming Blockers for wintering here. Pastures are in great demand and ready sale is fonnd tor straw stacks and all inds of hay and grain that can be taraed to good use as teed for this tsas of stock. The assertion that has been made that the Prineville country is the "Feed lot for all Oregon," Is more than ever being justified this year. Thousands of head of beet are be tas fitted for government buyers by local feeders, and the tact that these are repeat orders shows that the Un ited States Army officers know where to tarn for beet of the first quality. Prices range from 160 up to as aigh as $87.50 for feeders, the price depending entirely upon the quality mt the cattle being considered. Some f the heaviest feeders In the Imme diate vicinity are Warren, Dickson tk eDowell, Fairview Stock Farm. W. 1. Dish man. E. T. Slayton, C. W. Fos ter, Foster & Huston, Thos, Houston, and a number of others. The supply of hay is much better than was at first anticipated, and arly tall rains have made the pas tares and ranges better than they aave been for years at this season. w. s. a. . SOLDIER ENTHUSIASTIC ABOUT Y. M. C. A. WORK Somewhere in France August 28, 1918 To the editor: Dear sir: I suppose most of the boys are ending In little bits of news and let ting their .whereabouts be known. I aave now seen some seven months of ' foreign service and am very proud of may little gold chevron. I think an American soldier with 3 or 4 years of service chevrons would look almost as classy as a French general. I am ne of the very few Prineville boys that have the name of a Tuscania sur vivor; there is only one other .that I know of. I understand there is to be SEE 21 INLAND AUTO a Y. M. 0. A. drive soon, so there are I lots of things I could say In favor of the Y. M. C. A. While In the states I saw lots of good work being dore. But here they are still better. 1 have had experiences In both Ireland and England as well as France.. In Ire land they were mad because we boys could not drink 7 or 8 cups of the best chocolate that ever was made and eat a basket of cookies. But nothing could go wrong in Ireland. I mean the section that I was in. All the good things said of Ireland are true. When we landed there from our little boats we sure needed atten tion. And I am sure every one re voit It I have now been In this camp for tour months and have things really swell ror army me. v e nave a nice Y and our old stand-by a movie machine. We have our proper amount of play along with our work. The Y. M. C. A. canteens are selling to baccos at reduced prices far below the present prices In the states. With my best wishes for a success ful campaign tor Y. M. C. A. funds, I am yours respectfully, PVt FRED BL RCHTORF. 16th Co., 20th Kng. A. E. F., France. w. a. a.

PANY CROOK OVER THE TOP IN LIBERTY LOAN TOTALS NOW ABOVE $tOH,0M AND MORE COM I Ml IN' QUOTA FOR DRIVE IS S161,400 State About Over Portland lxlng Far Behind May 1om Record For State Crook county Is over the top In the Fourth Liberty Loan drove, over wtih about $7,000 to spare, and more sub scriptions coming In every day at the headquarters. The announcement was made by Chairman T. M. Baldwin yesterday and although no drive will be made to secure a large amount of addition al subscriptions, many are sure to come In during the next two weeks, which will no doubt run the total up to more than $200,000. The county quota tor this, the larg est loan yet made, was slightly above $161,000. News from throughout the state shows that practically all the coun ties are over the top, while from Port land, where millions upon millions ot dollars are being expended by the government in war orders, comes the news that a large amount Is yet to he raised there, and this fact alone may cause Oregon to lose the dis tinction ot being the first state in the union to go over the top. In each of the three former drives Oregon has had that honor, and will win It again If the metropolis "comes across. -w. a. s.

GAIXS MADE EVERYWHERE ARE FORECASTING VICTORY TURKEY HAY DROP OUT NEXT Buck Of The Central Empire's A 1 11 ance I Broken By Its Balkan Ally What may be considered as the bo ginning of the end in the world war, and what without doubt will bring victory to the allied nations much sooner than would have been other wise possible, came this week with the unconditional surrender of Bul garia, to the Allied armies. The move breaks the continuous line of communication from Berlin to the Turkish capital and hence to Asia and is very important In that it will place this railroad system of Bulgura and the water trans orta Ion on the Danube at the disposal ot the allied troops, which will enable them to take troops directly into Austria. Large forces of allied troops will also be now available for use In Aus tria and Germany, where the final battles of the world war are no doubt to be fought out during the coming twelve months. It is thought that Turkey will al so make some such move as has Bul garia, for in her Isolated position she now is at the mercy of the more pow erful allied forces. GASOL 6 A. M. to 6 P. M.
