Here is the list:

K. F. Johnson, of Prineville;
formerly county assessor and with
an eye to business.
Sam Collins, of Prineville, far
mer; quiet and peaceful bnt early
in the fight.
Hugh Lister, of Paulina; stock
man; known far and wide as pos
essed of o good iteal of "get-there-ism."
Frank Klkins, of Madras; de
feated at last election, but again
bobbins serenely aliove the surface.

has before been prominent in
county politics and is always a
sympathizer with everyone who
loses out.
Win. Hrown. of Cross Keys;
stockmen of the firm of Lyle fr
'Brown, and who the Democrats

But thseeare not all who will be

There're the Socialists who expect
to kick up considerable dust about
election time. They, however,
owing to the small percentile of
vote cant Inst election, will not he
required to engage in a preliminary
lout at the primaries, but with
the budding of roce in June there
will blossom also an array of
Socialists candidates.
Good Results from Dry Land.
. Dry land farming in Central
Oregon is not, as ji rule, looked
ujkjh with much favor by the
farming classes, hut it has proven
successful in more than one in
stance, the most notable of which!
has come to light in the Silver
Iake region. The Central Ore
gonian has tbia to say:
As an illustration of what may
I produced on a dry land farm in
this part of Central Oregon, with
proper management, look at the
1'rader place, in the Summer lake
region; under the immediate super
vision of ;. J. Woodard. For
years N-fore Mr. Prader got the
place it had been consfdered
almost worthless, a number of
jiersons having tried, but with in
different success to make it pay.
There were last year raised on the
farm 4,500 bushels of barley 140
tons of alfalfa hay, and 17,000
sjunds of potatoes, bringing in an
income of something like $4,400,
not a bad showing for one season.
We cite this merely as an instance
to show how badly some folks may
lie fooled in their estimate of the
productive possibilities of a piece
of try desert land.
Test Is Successful.
A satisfactory test of the new
water wheel, invented by J. S.
Mathews of Pendleton, was made
near the mouth of the Deschutes
river a few days ago, and its
action was entirely successful.
The wheel was placed in position
in the stream, the pump attached,
and it is understood on the first
trial pumped its maximum of 3000
gallons jter ' hour, with a No. 4
pump.
The wheel floats in shallow
water and can be anchored in a
stream of any depth where its
ower can he fined for pumping or
other purposes. Mr. Mathews
feels confident the wheel will prove
highly successful in pumping
water for small irrigation projects
and will manufacture a number
for this purpose.
The wheel draws but three feetjout of H,e earnjng8 of the table.
of water and it
saut will gen-
erate 10 horse power. It is an
choret! in the stream by the use of
cables extending out from the
banks and will raise and lower
with the rise or fall of a stream, so
that high or low water will not
prove its undoing as has been the
case in most of the stationary
pumjus which have been used
heretofore. The wheel is a drum
rive feet in diameter and six feet
long, air-tight and huoyact, and is
equipped with paddles or wings
which open as the wheel turns in
time to be. caught by the current,
thus generating enormous power
with a small surface.
More Settlers at Powell Buttes.
A numlier of settlers below Cline
Falis under the projected White
Rock ditch are examining the fea
sibility of another ditch taken out
of the Deschutes river below the
intake of the White Rock canal.
It is lielieved it will make a much
shorter and cheaper ditch than the
White Hock. It will not cover as
much land, but the plan is viewed
with favor by most of those con
cerned because of the possibility of
getting water immediately upon
their tracts. It is believed that
the cost will be so small that the
settlers under the ditch will be
able to handle it themselves.
They will thus be independent of
others and free to rapidly build
the ditch to completion. The pro
ject has the appearance of being
within the means of those who are
undertaking it. Such being the
case, it will doubtless be a
success..
ATHLETIC CLUB
IS PROSPEROUS
Local Institution Gains
Ground Steadily
DEBT IS REDUCED
Much Interest Shown at Monday
Ereniog's Meeting Improve
menU Order of tie Day
A special meeting of the Prine
ville Amateur Athletic club was
called last Monday evening to dis
cuss the business of the organiza
tion and receive the rejKirts of the
officers and opinions of both
officers and members. .
Secretary Wilson's statistics
showed that the floating indebted
ness had been reduced from $550
to $258 since the first of last Oct
ober, and that the treasury con
tained a balance in cash of $131.75
which will be applied to the in
surance, interest and floating in
debtedness funds. The showing is
an unusually satisfactory one and
little doubt is entertained that the
floating indebtedness will be en
tirely wiped out by the close of
the present year. The extra sub
scription members, who some time
ago agreed to make up the differ
ence in running expenses when
the monthly dues fulled in this
respect, have all expressed a
willingness to stand in the same
position during the dull months
from June until October. and there
j js a general feeling of satisfaction
both with the club itself and the
manner in which its business has
been handled. "
Announcement was made Mon
day evening that a howling alley
had been donated the club by the
Moore estate and that the work of
putting in would be completed by
February 1, at which time it would
be ready for use. The club, in
response to the generosity shown,
adopted resolutions of thanks to
Mrs. M. A. Moore and extended to
Guy E. Moore an honorary life
membership.
A new iool table has also been
purchased. Ten of the . memliers
have subscrilied a total of $50
which will he used in the first
uavment. the balance to he naid
The latter was ordered the first, of
the week and will be shipped
immediately.
Monday evening's neeting was
attended by a large number of
club memliers whose expressions
showed anything but a lack of in
terest in the future welfare of the
club, hnthusiasm was at its
height, and the support and in-
terest which insures a long career j
of success for the citv's athletic'
... . . i
institution was evinceu on evcrv
hand. The board of directors
promises new features as additi
ons to the club's attractiveness,
and these will be added as soon
as consistent.
The club extended to the officers
a vote of appreciation of their
efforts in making the organiza
tion a prosperous institution, and
for their untiring energy in the
management of the business.
Burns Up $250 Worth of Checks.
Bruce Gray, who is not an ex
travagant young man, burned $250
worth of negotiable checks in the
stove in the Crook County Bank
building hint Friday afternoon.
He remarked afterwards that he
had the satisfaction of seeing $250
go up in smoke.
Mr. Gray had taken the checks
frem the sheriff's office to the bank
for deposit and laid them on the
table in his otlice which adjoins
the bank rooms. A few minutes
afterwards, while engaged in con
versation with a man, he gathered
together a quantity of waste paper
from his desk and threw the bun
dle into the stove. The checks
went with the rest.- Discovering
the mistake he had made, Mr.
Oray opened the stove door in the
hopes of saving the valuable paper
iut I lie last curia of awoke wera
entering the chimney.
The checks had all been sent in
to the, sheriff's office in payment of
taxes and a memorandum kent of
each. It is not thought that Mr.
Oray will be compelled to make
good any loss through his haste in
keeping a tidy looking office desk,
as all of the paper came from
those who, when the matter is ex
plained; will be willing to duoli-
cate the checks.
Wheat Land for Ditch Tract
8. R. King, of Cline Falls, who
is a partner in the contract for
clearing 1000 acres of land on th
Johnston ranch, is completing a
deal with W. F. Hammer, post
master at Haystack, whereby Mr.
King exchanges his land under
the Columbia Southern ditch near
Cline Falls for wheat land which
Mr. Hammer owns in the Hay
stack country. The latter tract
adjoins a homestead which Mr.
King has filed upon, hence the
trade. Mr. Hammer will begin
improving his Columbia Southern
tract soon.
CHANGE PRECINCTS
County Court Establishes New
Districts and Boundaries '
Changes in a number of the voting
precincts jn the county were made
at the last session of the county
court. Petitions from both Laid
law and Redmond asking for new

made necessary the changing of
the boundaries of adjoining ones.
New maps of the county, divided
into the voting precincts, have
been prepared, and the chairmen
of the various election boards will
