REPEAL CLOSING LAW
City Dads Put the Kiboih on Ser-
eral Ordinance Which Fail to
Meet Their Approval
The city father hml midnight

wlifdiih- time and continued a
little later than history has here
tofore recorded. There were new
ordinance passed, others repealed,
franchise granted and divers
other husinens matters transacted;
all of w hich kept the guardians of
the city's welfare struggling with
their think-tanks until the hour
grew lute.
rirsi in importance came the
real of the Sunday closing or
dinance which apparently was
worn out completely after being in
use for ahout one year. .Mer

practically throws all responsibil

minors and habitual drunkards

from further concern.
Postmaster Summers was pre
sented with a telephone franchise
which will permit him to run

there were a few improvement
permits issued. The cows were
then handed a licautiful package.
The new ordinance which covers
the hovines also applies to horses,
chickens and other two legged cul
inary attachments and the lan
guage of the new statute expressly
ftnd positively states that it shall
be considered a dignity upon the
soul of the city if these four legged
animals and two Wiied fowls
shall be permitted to roam at
large.
Summarized this is the program I

did not occupy more' time than
that consumed in the arguments
and discussions which came fast,
appeared thick and thin at inter

bearing on general results. The
latter have formed the basis of
much comment.

ARE IN NEW MEXICO
Megargle and Fassett Are Having
a Hard Trip
Percy Megargle ami David Fas-
sett, the two autoists who passed
through Prineville in the Heo
Mountaineer late last fall, expect
ing to make the coast and return
to New York City in time for New
Year's dinner, only a few davs
since reached Albuquerque, New
Mexico, where thev rested a few
days from the heat and dust of
their nresent sandv tour. The
Reo has traveled over litHK) miles
since it left New York Citv and
till has several thousand to go.
Megargle sent The Journal a couv
of one of the Albuquerque dailies
which says among other thinsrs:'
The "Heo Mountaineer" is in
excellent shape to the' eye of the
layman and experts who exaniin-l
ed the machine last . nisrht said
that it has stood the trip remark
ably well. Only two pairs . of
front tires have been used since
leaving New York citv, although a
dozen pairs have been worn out on
the rear wheels. The present
front tires were put on at Boise
Western Crook Countv has
drawn its sword for the commis
sionership and R. H. Rayley is the
candidate from the "west side"
who has been decided upon to fill
the June vacancy. His name was
the only one mentioned at the
meeting in Redmond and the
spirit of the community seems to
lie all bolstered up at one spot
behind his hack. The Laidlaw
Chronicle says of him:
"Mr. Bayley has consented to be
come a candidate and we hoi
that his nomination and election
will follow. Mr. Bayley has been
a resident ot tins county since
1904 when he moved to his home
near Laidlaw where he has since
resided. He is a man of good
judgment and if nominated and
elected will prove to be an efficient
oliicer. His platform is progress
for the entire county carried on in
a conservative manner. He stands
for development and yet is opposed
to any extravaeence in the use of
public money."
hile the politicians of the
'west side were busy at Redmond
Fred Fisher started his nominat
ing petitions and from a neutral
standpoint the rare between the
two will !e neither slow nor dis
interesting. Mr. Fisher is i
heavy property owner north of
Madras where he has a wide
acquaintance both in a business
way and otherwise and it is tij
ped off that he will receive the
solid support of Kutcher, Hay
stack, Lamonta, Cross, Keys, Ash
wood and Hay Creek. Mr. Bay
ley wilt do as well in his own ter
ritory . and with Prineville ami
eastern Crook reiuaininz neutral
there are excellent chances of see
ing some tine haired counting of
ballots. It is questionable wheth
er either of the two candidates
now in the field will be able to
break into each other's territorv
and both districts, of course, will
stretch a length to promote the in
terests of its local candidate.
Prineville's interest in the com
missionership tangle seems to be
at low ebb. erv little comment
is heard and no opinions expressed
Neither candidate is known
locally and the idea is prevalent
that the most interest to be dis
played here will be in watching
the outcome of the race between
the two.
Socialists Will Be in the Field.
Crook county Socialists will
have a ticket in the field for the
June election. Owing to the
small percentage of vote cast at
the last election, it will not be
necessary for the party to hold a
primary election, but soon there
after the delegates from the var
ious Locals will meet in Prineville
to frame up the ticket which will
appear on the June ballots.
The party as a whole will make
a determined eftort this vear to
poll a much larger vote than here
tofore, and this is likely to be
done. New Locals have been
organized in different parts of the
county, the one recently formed at
Madras being especially strong,
and the county .organization gen
erally is much stronger than two
years ago.
J. M, Street, who has been
identified with the Socialists quite
prominently, will devote consider
able of his time after the conven
tion and before election to stump
ing the county in the interests of
the party. The county convention
will be held in this city Wednes
day, April 25.
Irrigation Company Elects.
Improvements will be made dur
ing the present month in the ser
vice of the People's Irrigation
company, an organization of pri
vate land holders along the
CrooKed river basin below Prine
ville. At the annual meeting
held last Monday -afternoon ar
rangements were made to get the
ditches in readitess for the spring
irrigation which will begin inside
of the next week or two and work
will also begin in a short time on
the McDowell ranch where a per
manent dam will be constructed.
Last season the channel of the
river changed too frequently to
permit the building of a solid
structure by which to divert the
waters of Crooked river into the
second main canal which is taken
out at that place. It is believed
now that the chalinel has become
fixed and considerable work will
be expended in building a sub
stantial and permanent dam.
The business meeting was fol
lowed by the election of the fol
lowing officer for the ensuing
year: Thomas Sharp, Jr., presi
dent; M. R. K'lliott, secretary; D.
F. Stewart, treasurer and general
malinger. The loard of directors
i comKised of Thomas Sharp, Jr.,
Frank Forest, I). F. Stewart, A.
Zell and C. M. Zell.
Saleable Sheep About Gone.
That LontracU have already
leen made for most of the saleable
sheep of -Wasco, Crook and
Wheeler counties is the statement
made by J. X. Burgess of the
Cunningham Sheep A Land com
pany to the Pendleton newspapers
on his return from a trip to his
old home near Antelope. The
prices paid, acording to Mr. Bur
gess, have varied from $2.50 io
$3.25 per head for yearlings. The
highest nrice was naid for ewen
while many yearling wether have
sold for $2.75 per head.
Never before have so many sheen
been sold at this time of the year,
declares Mr. Burgess, who has an
opportunity of knowing the state
of the market as well as any man
in this section. He says tnat
already this season as manv
beep have been sold as is usual a
month later than this date. This
condition is due largely to the fact
that there is a scarcity of sheep to
I sold, and as a result buyers
have come into the field earlv.
Especially are yearling ewes in
lemand, and consequently splen
did prices have been secured by
men having such to sell. There
has been a difference of about 50
cents per head in the price of ewes
and wethers, the formes selling for
$3.25, while the price of wethers
has ranged in the vicinity of $2.75.
SAW FINE COUNTRY
Oregonian Writer Speaks Highly
of Prineville
Joseph Gaston, who recently
made a trip through Central Ore
gon, staging it from Shaniko
through Prineville and Bend
.lown to Klamath Falls, has the
following to say relative to Prine
ville in the three column article
concerning his journey which he
wrote last week for the Oregonian:
Prineville has been the subject
of much newspaper comment dur
ing the past year. It is the county
seat of Crook Countv and is well
located at the junction of the
Ochoco and Crooked River. It is
now and will always be a pros
perous town and fine business
point, being the natural center and
distributing point for more than
3,000,000 acres of rich country,
embracing, the vallevs of the
Mark, McKay, Mill and Ochoco
Creeks, and the great valley of
Crooked River and all its tribu
taries; It has a fine hotel, two
banks, a orosierous newspaper, a
dozen or more large stores and
shops, a school building that
would he a credit to Portland, sev
eral churches, and thev are now-
erecting a stone -block for a hotel
and store which would be a credit
to any city of 50,000 people.
Any railroad passing through
this region must touch this town,
for its business, which cannot be
taken away from it, is so large
that it cannot be neglected. The
population is about 1200, of as
hospitable and progressive people
as can be found anywhere, and
the place bids fair to become a
very large town.
There are, some rich valleys be
tween Shaniko and Prineville,
where vast quantities of alfalfa
are raised and many thousands of
sheep and, cattle fed. The Bald
win ranch, owned by a fellow
citizen, C. M. Cartwright, is a
notable place, not only as a
principality of a farm, hut for a
whole village of nice buildings for
the employes of the great estate,
which owns 25,000 sheep and sev
eral thousand cattle, and where
the owner lives in a residence as
fine as anything on "Nob Hill" in
Portland.
