Samples of Grain and Gratiei
oo Exhibition.
There ia on exhibition at the
telephone oflice some fine exhibits
of what Crook county can produce
in an off year. The hot weather
thia season has been very hard on
cro, hut notwithstanding it ef
fect the shoving made ia a great
urprixe.
A sample of Little Club wheat
fiom the Palmein place on Willow
Creek shows an excellent grade of
wheat. It is clean, bright and
plump. The hot weather does not
seem to have materially effected
this stand of grain.
Some good samples of oats, bar
ley, beardless Hurley, etc., were
taken from Kd Holmes' place six
miles east of Madras. Grain is by
no means a failure on his place.
Kye is an excellent crop in
irooK county this year, samples
seven feet high with heads six
inches long are on exhibition
The heads are fully developed
The kernels are plump and clean
Four stools were taken from one
field without any special effort to
pick the best, and when the stalks
were counted the largest stool had
108 and the smallest 06. These
were all taken from Robert Bur
nett's place near Culver.
Bunch grass from the Draper
claim near Lamonta makes a good
showing. The samples measure
thirty-two inches in height. The
field from which it was taken was
pastured off in April so the growth
shown by the samples hns been
phenominal.
Some fine alfalfa from Henry
Windom's place in the Haystack
country is shown. One stool be
tween three and four feet high con
tains 132 stalks. This was its first
year and was rained from volun
teer seed. Another stool measured
5J in height but did not contain
near as many stalks. All this,
mind you, was done without irri
gation.
Speltz, a new forage plant in
this county, seems to do well here,
judging from the samples shown
This plant is highly recommended
by the United States Agricultura
Department and we would be glad
to see more of our farmers take up
its cultivation.
Bring in your samples, people of
Crook county, so that your neigh
bors may .know what you are do
ing. Leave them at the telephone
office and Mr." Summers will take
pleasure in making as attractive
samples on hnnd. These exhibits
will help you, help your neighbor
and help the county at large.
Strangers visiting Prim- Hie can
not help but be fiivornbly impress
ed with a good showing of what
('rook county enn produce.

Sheriff Frank Elkins of Crook
county passed through the city last
Friday, on his way to the Hot
Springs at Carson, Wash., where
he was taking his mother-in-law,
Mrs. M. E. Logan, for treatment
for rheumatism says the Antelofs;
Herald. He returned on Monday
and spent the night here, attend
ing to some legal business. In
speaking of his recent capture of
stock rustlers, he said that the
chances were good for sending
them over the road, and that
others are likely to follow. He is
determined to wijie out the stock
thieves in Eastern Oregon and put
a stop to the lawlessness that has
lieen rampant so long, and to that
end is quietly gathering evidence
and information as to the where
abouts of certain parties who have
been lying low for some time past.
Sufficient evidence is already jss
sesscd to convict some of these
parties, and it is only a matter of
time when they will be caught.
There are others who can he had
when wanted, for the authorities
are keeping tab on them, and they
will be asked to explain a few
things that looked very peculiar to
the court. It has always lieen a
mystery how one party in particu
lar escaped being held to the grand
jury for horse stealing. The inci
dent is apparently closed, and the
party is supposed to Ik- leading an
"honest, upright life;" but the
court records still exist, and there
are those who remember how this
man and others squirmed out
of a tight place. It is this class of
men as well as those who are at
present openly defying the law,
that Sheriff Elkins and the other
officers of Oregon are watching,
and their time is coming.

Prof. Travers delivered and ex
cellent lecture last Friday evening
at the M. E. Church on the subject
of "The School and the Boy." The
subject was handled in a manner
that was both entertaining and in
structive, Just enough statistics
were given to bIiow what enormous
sums were spent for tobacco, liquor,
etc., and what a measly bagatelle
in comparison was spent on the
education of our boys and girls.
In speaking of successful schools
Mr. Travers Bays that three things
are essential, namely, wideawake
directors, the proper publio senti
ment and plenty of cash, There
was a fair sized audience present
but every father and mother in
Prineville should have heard the
