Looking, back over a period of nearly two . years. which have passed since the preS' ent editor assum.-d control of the Journal we note many changes not only in the paper,' but - in .the town and community. The circa lation of the former lias more" than doubled arid the population1 Of the latter "has advanced beyond the wildest dream of the old timer. Erick and wooden business build; ings have been erected that would be a credit to anv town ' of twice the size of Prineviile; dwellings bv ... . i . ,- - .. tne dozen nave gone up in various parts of the city and it will not be lung at the present rate until bur population will have reached two thousand. Among the measures that have been advocated by the Journal lor the public good is the County High School. We .. advo cated this aieasure before the elect ion and did all in our power to have it carry the necessary num ber tif votes to ciilpe it. to 'become a law. "Our tfforts were regarded by a handsome .majority and the High school is 'now an assured fact, as there is being one grade taught this winter and at. an the matter of erecting building will be taken County Court.! .The public spirit- edness of S. S. Newsom in giving a largo and commodious s,ite . for the High school building is l0K be commended. ' Introspective. During the com ing years we predict for this city a growth second to none in eastern Oregon- The movement for the reclamation of pur arid lands will become a material fact and waste places will be made to blossom as the rose. The busy hum of the sawmills will be heard along the Upper Deschutes and the whirr of the trolley will be heard througout the land as its electric , cars carry the products of our allied indus tries to the sea. The thud, thud of the stamps in our quartz mills will make music to the ears of the miners who delve for . the bidden treasures of mother earth within our borders. These and many more things will be seen and felt as the seasons go by and the work of expansion goes merrily on. With this number we begin the new volume and to the old we say, hale and farewell! With the old volume we bury its cares and sor rowB and cherish ; its . pleasant tnemories as fright jewels of a jiifried "past.''
