John Geiger put up 16 loads -of ice last week, but the rain and wr.rm spell the latter part of the week caused a discontinuance of ice gather ing. The ice was only about three inches thick, but firm and clear of impurities. i The Journal man had the pleasure of looking over the meat packing establishment of Stewart A Co. one one day this week and saw some of their prize bacon in its primitive state. This firm puts up some of the finest bacon and hams in the state which finds ready sale at home. Cap. Cornett, proprietor of the Prinev'lle-Burns stage line, came in from the front Monday and reports business good over his line. The roads have been frozen for some time and have now become worn down until they are in very fair condition. A good chicken ranch would be a paying investment for some one in this country, as there is always a scarcity of eggs and at this time of the year it is almost impossible to get enough to cook with. Chickens seem to do well in almost any part of the county as they are comparatively free rom diseases of all kinds. A. C. Lucas, of the B. 8. k L. Co., was in the city Friday. This office acknowledges a friendly call. Mr. Lucas had the misfortune to have a horse fall with him while riding rap idly over the frozen ground a few days ago, and he now resembles a street car accident. It was a narrow escape and Mr. Lucas thanks his lucky stars it was no worse. During the latter part of last week the young folks, and some of the older ones, amused themselves by skating on the ice in some of the ponds below town. While the ice was a little thin to be safe, the water was not deep and a break through would only mean wet feet for the one who broke through, consequently the fun ran. high and all seemed to enjov the sport immense- The old year is drawing to a close and we would like for all our sub scribers who are in arrears to help us a little. We have never before asked for any money, nor do we insist on anyone making an especial effort to pay now, but where it is convenient we would appreciate any favor in that line. We will take wood or grain at the market price. A Prineville stockman is responsible for the statement that many settlers on Agency plains will be caught in the winter storms without sufficient preparation. He said: "Many hwvo little or no wood on hand and their only means of support for their families is working for the sheep men. A great many of them are from the East and do not understand om cli matic conditions out here and are bound to undergo hardships." Wasco Sews. . Max Lueddeman le va to morrow for Los.Gatos, California, whore 1 will spend the holidays with the "old folks at home." During his absence Mr. Fred X. Wallace has consented to cssunie the ardous duties of editor-in- hief, his consent having been obtain ed only after a thorough search through the postal regulations to as certain if there was anything to pre vent a fourth class postmaster from making a first class editor. Antelope Herald. E. I). Waltz, late of North Dakota, who came to this country a short time ago, is so faorablylmprcs8ed with our resources that he is going to locate permanently in Crook county, Mr. Waltz will take a trip east in the near future to interest a lot af his former friends in this country and will no doubt be the means of building up a substantial immigration to this land of changed conditions. The coming two years will witness some marked changes for the better in this coun- Henry Cram was in from his farm on Ochoco last week and informed our reporter that there was every indi cation of renewed activity at the Howard mines in the ipring. gome litigation that had been indulged in heretofore has been settled and those interested in the mind art sanguine that tbey have a good thing in them, and will show their good faith by their works as soon as mow goes off next year, We have no doubt on the sub ject and it is only a matter ot, time when these mines will be producers as well as the Trout creek district. It is only fc question of time when the Upper Ochoco district will be ouo of the richest in Oregon. i: v0ur reporter was up at the court house iuesday ;evenuig , ai)4 in glancing ovor the fee book lie no ticed an item like tins; " Leo B. Lafollett, marriage, license." Now we were expecting something of this sum. However there w no one in this county that this paper would sooner give a wedding write up than to Leo B, Lafollett and the estimable young' lutly who will preside over the destinies "of his household.. After the happy event has transpired we shall ;then be able to give details as well as the young lady's name. . ;", v Dr. Belknap received last week from Portland the first prise winner at the poultry show in the Buff Plymouth Kpck list of chickemk This is a -fine rooster and will make a valuable ad dition to the doctor's already fine col lection ot birds. This rooster scored a total of ninety points and is said to be One of the finest on the coast. The doctor has one heu that has laid 122 engs and has set three times this sum mer. We believe this to be. a record breaker. Judge Brink also has a lot of these chickens and is fairly proud of his pens. He and the doctor are the only breeders of this strain of poultry in this county that we aro aware of. - - .- George Millican was down from Pine mountain the latter part of last week and reports stock looking well out that way, and no snow on the ground, in fact it did not lay on as long out there as it did in this section of the county as there seems to have been an upper warm current in the atmosphere at that time. Mr. Milli can stated that the Indiaas had been doing considerable hunting out that way this fall and that one them told him that he had killed fourteen deer. This matter should be looked into by the state game warden and see it a stop cannot be put to such wholesale slaughter in the future. The Indian has no more right, to slaughter the kame than has the white man and it is only the strict enforcement ot the game laws that will preserve even afl occassional specimen of the Mule deer for future generatious to gate upon and wonder at the changes time has wrought. ,., . : ... , .-. . .4 i, i- A Surprise Parly. .,, ,..,.. Last Saturday evening a crowd of young folks pleasantly surprised Roy Price, at the home of his parents Mr. and Mrs. R. C. Price. The gathering was in honor of Roy's 21st birthday, ad the occasion was greatly enjoyed by all. Games were indulged inas well as an excellent lunch. Those present were Mr. and Mrs. R. 8. Price, Misses Iva Booth, Fay Hodges, Efiic Dobbs, Maude Dobbs, Winnie Win dom, Gertie Prine, Nellie McDanniel Addie Foster, and Georgia Hodges and Messrs:-Buy. Price Judd Palmer, Roy Gray, Bruce Gray, fiennie Booth, A. 0. Mosier S. 41. Bailey, Orange Hodges and W. C. B'ack. I This a ract. But is not this "a knockout blow?'1 A man from Michigan went down on the passenger train the 15th. . He said "I've been to Prineville country to locate a timber claim The cattle have lived on sagebrush so long that the beefsteak tastes like sausage." If also stated that fifty men up there are claiming the same piece of timber land. He places al! blame with tic timber rustlers. Wasco News. Th e class of gentry can be found in all countries. They are not satisfied with the conditions found in the lai.d of their birth and no where else will rhey give credit where credit is due. While to his depraved taste the beel may have tasted like sausage, but we will lx t our old hat that he nevir tasted as good meat in his life before, if he ever gut to the point of having meat more than twice a year. As to the charge of several parties claiming the same piece of land we r re unable to say, but if they aro it is not through the prineville cruisers that they have been located in that manner.
