Prineville, Oregon
CROOK COUNTY, OREGON, JULY 5, 1906.
A GREAT
CELEBRATION
The Best Ever Given
in Prineville.
BIG CROWD PRESENT
lie Baseball Toanunent a Great
Succett Prineville Woa
First Monej.
Th 130th anniversary of our
uaviunai inorpenaence win go
down in the hintory of Prineville
as the beet celebration ever given
by our city. There was not the
slightest hitch in the program com
mencing July 1 and cloning July
4th. Everything was carried out
as planned.
The baueba 11 games were the
beet 'ever played in Central Ore
gon. The teams were so evenly
matched that it generally look
more than nine innings to de
termine the winner. The Antelope
boys were by far the hardest propo
sition that Prifleville ever tackled.
They played snappy ball all the
time. Honors were even between
Jhe teams up to the game to be
played on the Fourth. Then was
to come the final struggle for the
big puree.
The weather tuan could not have
ordered a better article if he had
tried. It was a trifle warm, to be
sure, but not too hot for comfort.
The morning of the Fourth was
ushered in by the booming of an
vila. At an early hour little boys
clad in snow white sailor suits
could be been making their way to
the appointed rendezvous. Little
girls, too, in pretty red, white and
blue regalia were seen flocking in
the direction of the Union church,
their place of meeting.
At 9:30 o'clock everything was
in readiness and the marshal of
the day gave the word for the pro
cession to start. The old stars and
stripes headed the column, then
came Hose Company No. 1, follow
ed by Hose Company No. 2, then
Hook and Ladder Company No. 1,
the Prineville Military Band, then
the Goddess of Liberty on a hand
some float surrounded by forty
eight little girls representing the
states and territories of the Union.
The Old Oregon Pioneers in car
riages were next in line, wearing
badges upon which were printed
the year in which they took up
their homes in Oregon. Some
came in 1867, others in 1868, 1869,
1870, 1871, etc. The sturdy veter
ans and their wives made a splen
did showing and were heartily ap
plauded along the line of march.
Following the Pioneers came the
Uncle Sam float with a jolly group
of little boys. Then came the
Lippman float representing the
business of A. II. Lippman & Co.
The float was a credit to the firm.
It was very neatly arranged i and
tastefully decorated setting forth
the business of the house to good
advantage. The Winnek Drug Co.
had a unique float that received
many compliments. The Wood
man of the World had a fine float
in which the handicraftsmen in
handsome uniforms were busy ply
ing their trade. Then followed
the Royal Neighbors of America
float filled with young ladies dress
ed in white and wearing the at
tractive sashes of the order. The
Royal Neighbors of America float
came in for its sharge of applause.
The Singer Sewing Machine Co.
was represented by a float, after
which came the horsemen. After
parading, the principal streets the
procession halted at the court
house where (Tie exercises of the
day were held. The meeting was
called to order by T."M. Baldwin,
and after prayer by Rev. Mr.
Mitchell the following -program
was excellently rendered:

A novel feature of the program
was the part taken by the Warm
springs Indians. The Indian
songs and dances were droll in the
extreme.
BASEBALL
TOURNAMENT
The Prineville baseball team
carried off the honors and won first
money in the tournament held
here last Sunday, Monday. Tues
day and Wednesday. Only three
teams entered the tournament
Antelope, Redmond and Prineville
The Bend team came over Tuesday
morning to play, but objection
were entered against them trying
for first or second money by the
Antelope team for the reason that
they were not on hand to play the
regular schedule, and the Bend
boys dropped out, not caring to
play for third money.
The first day. Sunday, Antelope
and ' Prineville played an exhibi
tion game in the morning, Prine
ville winning by a score of 7 to 2.
In the afternoon Prineville and
Redmond played the first game of
the trournament, the home team
winning by a score of 20 to 9.
There were no special features of
the game outside of the plucky way
in which the Redmond boys plaved
out a losing proposition. F. C.
Rowlee gave the fans an " idea of
what he could do in the pitching
line by going on the mound for
the Redmond boys in the eighth
inning and striking out the first
two batters to face him and getting
the next one on a pop fly. As a
pitcher Rowlee is there with the
goods. After this game Redmond
dropped out leaving the race for
first and second money between
Prineville and Antelope.
The second day, Monday, Prine
ville and Antelope lined up for the
big tussle, with Rooper and Rhodes
as battery for Antelope and Bailey
and Zeek for Prineville. The
game started off bad for the Prine
ville boys. Antelope scoring two
runs in the first inning, but that
Was all they could do until the
eight inning. In the meantime
the Prineville bovs had taken a
cinch on the game, so it appeared,
by getting three runs in the third
inning and two in the fifth. In
the first of the eighth Antelope
bunched their hits and got in three
runs tying the score. Neither
team scored in the ninth. In the
tenth inning Antelope scored the
winning run, and got the first
game. This was one of the best
games ever played in Prineville,
and the fact that it took ten in
nings to decide it, showed that the
two teams were evenly matched
and the next two games promised
to be fast ones.
The third day, Tuesday, Ante
lope sent in Van Houten to do the
twirling with Rhodes at the re-'
ceiving end. , Prineville sent in
O'Neil with Young as backstop.
Prineville took the lead in the first
inning and was never in danger of
being headed in the run getting,
winning the game by the score of
11 too. With Antelope winning
the first game and Prineville the
second, the third game promised
to be the hardest fought contest on
the diamond. Considerable money
was wagered on the result Tuesday
evening and Wednesday morning,
with the Prineville team the
favorite.
The fourth day, Wednesday,
Antelope sent in King, the clever
twirler from Salem to do things
for them. Prineville pitted Bailey
against him with Young doing the
receiving end. One of the largest

THE STATE
ENGINEER
On the Need cf Better
Water Laws.
DEVELOPtlEUT SLOT
BecaM fit Uacertainry Ex-
ktbf ia Water Rig kts
' Qtaagt Heeded.
Realizing the importance and
urgent need of state laws upon the
subject of water rights in Oregon,
a Journal representative interview
ed 8tate Engineer Lewis regarding
the matter when in Prineville re
cently. Mr. Lewis baa made a
thorough study of water laws in
this and other states and is prob
ably the best posted man in the
state on the subject. He is striv
ing in every way possible to di
rect public attention to the crying
need of a comprehensive state law
controlling the use of the water of
our rivers and streams. The State
Engineer's addresses in Crook
county were followed with the
closest attention by our water
users who have long felt the need
ol some kind of relief. In the fol
lowing interview -it is shown just
where the water user stands before
the law and the remedial measures
proposed by the State Engineer.
'The development of this State
and especially this community is
greatly retarded by the lack; of
definite water laws, and the value
of present water rights are greatly
lessened for lack of ororjer stand-
ing in law and protection by the
state.
"Records of stream discharges to
be ot value must be kept daily and
throughout several years as the
water fluctuates from day to day
also with each season. A record
of three to five years duration is of
the greatest value in designing
works for the use of water.
at .
"It is next necessary to secure an
abstract of water righto giving the
amount of water which must be let
run by to satisfy vested rights be
low the proposed point of diversion.
This can only be determined at
present by bringing suit against
all parties claiming the right to
the urn of water from the stream
and securing a decree of court, as
the present water laws contain no
penalty to enforce compliance.
Only part of the vested rights have
posted and filed the required no
tice, and many of the rights which
are speculative in character have
filed notices which will never be
come vested but serve to cumber
the title to water and prevent its
legitimate use.
"A lawsuit is expensive and in
volves the loss of much time. As
there is a definite limit to which
the waters of each stream can be
put to a beneficial use, investments
will become more hazardous as this
limit is reached. If an abstract of
actual vested rights cannot be had
careful measurements of stream
flow will be of but little value in
the protection of ' investments.
The only way at present is to build
your ditch, divert water and take
chances on a court decision. If
unfavorable, the money invested is
lost. If favorable to the ditch
owner, he has disturbed the peace
of the community and called each
user of water into court at con
siderable expense, when he should
have been attending to the irriga
tion of his crops. This decree is
binding only between the parties
thereto. New ditches will be built,
and the operation is repeated until
the community is bankrupt.
"In Utah for example, all rights
are determined once for all, begin
ning with the streams most used.
Thereafter no rights can be acquir
ed without authority of the state.
Notice of the intended diversion is
published and protest allowed
where any one thinks hie right
will be injured. The question of
supply and rights are carefully in
vestigated, and when the permit is
issued by the state it has the same
standing in law as a patent to
lands issued by the Government.
Ia a arid country the patent to
land is of insignificant value com
pared to the water right which ia
the foundation of iU value; Set
tlement ia therefor retarded by
uncertain water rights or water
laws a now exist in this state.
MAa administrative system ia
necessary. A water master or po
liceman in each community would
distribute tb water in accordance
with the court decree and future
acquired righto. These righto
would be recorded in order of rri-
onty. As steams fluctuate during
the seasoo, the poorest ' righto
would be shot off during the low- '
et water, thus protecting the older
rights without fear of annual con
test in the courts. Where water ia
stored on a stream channel, this
officer measurea th same snd pro
tects it to the point of diver-ion
acd nse. Appeals from the de
cisions of the watermaster which
cost nothing, can be takr to the '
courts and only the p-r-n who
thinks himself agrievrd U di-ru t
ed. The watermaster is suhjr to
removal for cause.
"Considerable opposition is had
to the change of present water,
laws principally from ibi-e ti W
ing speculative rights, or francbiee
without use. When these fran
chises become of increased value,
they will be sold, and not before
Fear is had lest a new law will
create unending litigation. This
has not been the experience
of other states and as pointed out
we are assured of unending litiga
tion under present laws where the
limit of a stream's nse is reached,
"Irrigation in tb Willamette 1
Valley has been much aritated of
late and the Portland Board of
Trade is taking an active interest
in plans for uniting all sections of
the state in preparing a bill which
will meet the needs of each com
munity and be supported by all.
Careful study of the new measure, -
and co operation in its support ia
all that is necessary for the solu
tion of this problem upon . which
the future of Oregon depends."
