up bv the
Vale Volume VI.
. A. t . If , J
RetreijicctiV. 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

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.'' ' 4 '" ':,. tv
' To our friends and patrons we
wish all a .merry Christinas ajid a
Happy New Year, liopjng that the
pi'.9t year has been 'one of profit
and pleasure to them ail and that'
the coming one, upon whose bor
der's Vsjand j'niaj.b Jong remem
bered as one of the pleasantest, of
their lives.
