BOOST! THIS M KAN'S XOV.
Every city, ulu'tlirr large or
mail, line in it the making of a
hettor ulaec to live. The spirit of
interest displayed towards its in
stitutions and the hearty support
given the niuniriiial body as n
whole,, not overlooking its branches
of civic pride and progress, are the
ear marks that show the Mood.
The under ourrent of adviiine
ment and lietter conditions and a
higher plane of living and enjoying
that living, will crop out sooner or
later in any city or town.
Prineville at present is beginn
ing to give forth symptoms of that
change in conditions. It has
whistled ss a forwarning that it
will "spoon over" in position. But
it does not want to be too slow. It
has shown its colors. They're blue
prize winners, but the city itself
must not go to sleep while tying a
knot in the ribbons. To use a lit
tle street parlance, a, severe jab in
the slats opce in awhile will serve
as a gentle reminder that there is
work ahead, plenty of it, and
some! ody .which means everybody,
must lend a hand. Well enough
it is to sav that someone else will
do this, that or the other thing,
but that policy will never accomp
lish anything. Taking a step
backwards is similar to standing
on the head to avoid apoplexy.
It behooves everyone, therefore,
to do a little boosting.
Right in its infancy, but making
a manly struggle for existence and
growth, is the athletic assoication.
Without doubt the organization is
one of the best ever attempted in
this city. Its moral and physical
effects are worth ten times the in
itiatory price demanded, and every
mother and father in Prineville,
the municipal government. I'n-, want to tie compelled to fall back
