These will be atlixed to exhibits
entitled to them.
No article or exhibit shall be re
moved from the grounds without
permission of the secretary or
superintendent of grounds.
Animals or articles on exhi
bition are subject to the rules hnd
control of officers of the association
while on the fair grounds. Diso
bedience to this rule forfeits all
claims to awards.
It will thus be seen from the
foregoing rules and regulations
that everybody gets a square deal.
A list of the different premiums of

That Lake county is on the
verge of 1 mining boom is certain
says the Lake County Examiner.
The recent rich strike in Warner
ias created the greatest excitement
ever known in this country. It is
estimated that 200 people have
rushed to the new mines within
the past week, going day and night.
The ore taken from the new
mines closely resembles the ore from
Tonopah, and the country is the
same, and the quality fully as good.
Those who have seen the ore from
Tonopah and that from the Windy
Hollow Hills say that it i im
possible to tell one from the other.
The formation and lay of the coun
try mng identical gives every as
surance of these new mines becom-
ng as famous and rich as the
Tonopah mines.
There is one big advantage the
Lake county mines will have over
the Tonopah country that will
make these the more popular of
the two, and that is the abundance
of good, fresh mountain water so
near the mines. It is but a few
milee from the heart of the strike
to large streams of water running
from snow-capped mountains, and
these waters can be easily con vett
ed from their main channels to
ditches running direct to the gold
fields, in fact, so easy is the con
version of these waters that the
scheme has been talked of fre
quently for the irrigation ot the
lands in the vicinity of Windy
Hollow and Coyote Hills, and if
the project would be a feasible one
for irrigation purposes, it would be
doubly so in order to furnish water
supply for the richest gold field
ever discovered in the West.
The fabulous values of the ore,
ranging from f ZM to o,UUU per
ton is not exaggerating in the
least; the gold is there, and no
doubt can exist; it is in plain
sight without the aid of a glass or
chemical processes.
Lake county bids fair just now
to soon become the most famous
county in the state of Oregon, or
for that matter, greater in mineral
and other resources than any
county in any of the Western
states.
There will be 60,000 people at
traded here within the next six
months. Gold mines will bring
the people when everything else
fails.
A dispatch from Lakeview to
the Oregonian says that the rush
to the new strike, 25 miles north
east of Lakeview, in the Coyote
Hills, keeps up. Five wagonloads
of people arrived here today from
California. A new ledge was
found yesterday three miles south
of the original find. Dirt picked
up in the ravines in the vicinity of
the strike pans $6 per pan. A
body of book leaf ore has been dis
covered that assays $50,000 per
ton.
A ledge has been discovered
ithin half a mile of Lakeview
that shows values of 12.85 in gold.
The old Sagehen mine, 10 miles
from Lakeview, is being relocated
and 20 claims have been taken
there. The ore closely resembles
the Tonopah ore and runs from
f 200 to $5000 per ton. .Mining
men are looked for from Reno to
investigate the new strike. Ex
citement is high and claim jump
ing frequent. Lakeview is the
nearest point from which to reach
the mines.
HOUSES NEEDED
IN PRINEVILLE
De-
Found Guilty.
"There never was such a de
mand for houses in Prineville as
now," said a real estate man to a
Journal representative the other
day. "Within the past week I
have had inquiries from six differ
ent families living in Crook county
for houses to rent. Now if you
want to perform some good service
both to Prineville and the county
at large agitate the need of build
ing more houses to rent. Capital
cannot find a better or safer in
vestment, and in my judgment all
that is necessary to remedy this
state of affairs is to call attention
to it."
From further investigation it
was learned that the demand for
houses was not confined to people
living in the country who wanted
to send their children to the high
school. There are others who ap
preciate the fact that Prineville
possesses many natural advanta
ges that appeal to the home-
seeker.
No better site could have been
selected for a town than at the
confluence of the Ochoco and
Crooked rivers. The elevation af
fords easy and natural drainage,
besides an abundance of water for
domestic and irrigating purposes
Two water sytems supply the city.
A gravity system owned by the
town and the Electric Light &
Water Power Co., that has sunk a
number of deep wells that supply
a central reservoir from which water
is distributed to the city for pri
vate use and for fire protection.
The educational and religious
sides of life have not been neglect
ed. Our school facilities are equal
to the best. AH the lower grades
are amply provided for and the
Crook County High School, built
at a cost of $22,000, is designed to
carry forward the work of the low
er grades. Pastors from the sever
al religious denominations minister
to the spiritual needs of the com
munit v. We have about all the de
nominations Methodist, Presby
terian, Baptist, Christian, etc
whose pulpits are supplied with
able men.
The social side of life in Prine
ville is one that is much comment
ed upon by strangers and makes a
most favorable impression upon
all who visit the town. Besides
an open-hearted and hospitable
people who throw wide their doors
to strangers, we have one of the
best social clubs in the state. The
Prineville Athletic Club has been
in existence but a few years, but it
has accomplished wonders in that
time. It includes within its mem
ship all the business and profes
sional men in the city and all
others who wish to enjoy its ad
vantages. It has also a Ladies
Annex which extends the privi
leges of the association to mem
bers of the gentler sex. The Ath
letic Club own its own building, a
structure 100x45 feet, furnished
and equipped for the pleasure and
recreation of its members. It has
billiard rooms, card rooms, boiling
alley, reading rooms, gymnasium,
and baths.
Is it any wonder then, that peo
ple want to live here and that it is
next to impossible to get a house
to live in?
Askitt "Isn't that & new um
brella?" Noitt "No; it has been
in mv possession for nearly two
vears." Askitt "Don t you think

last Friday, on a charge of mov
ing a band of sheep from Malheur
county to Grant county without a

other day the speculators who
profited in such measure by the

received by them. The new own

The first holdings of the old
military road grant lands taken
djoin the Cascade forest reserve
boundary, where the road crosses
the summit of the Cascades near
Crescent and Odell Lakes. The
strip of alternate sections ai this
point is 25 miles in length, extend
ing to the border of the Klamath
ndian Reservation. From the
reservation the grant lands extend
in an irregular line down to Lake-
view, and thence eastward to the
state line directly opposite Silver
City, Idaho. The tracts secured
lie in Klamath. Lake. Harney and
Malheur counties, being in general
terms about 325 miles in length,
as the land grant company in lay
ing out the road, gave it as many
convolutions as possible so as to
ncrease its holdings. From
Klamath Reservation to Lakeview
the strip is over a splendid grazing
and timbered country, but the Ore
gon & California Land Company
makes reservation of any import
ant timbered tract, retaining that
or itself. Drew's Valley and the
north end of Goose Lake Valley
are crossed, where there is a con
siderable quantity of fine agricul
tural land, which has been leased
to settlers for years, but never put
on the market in any appreciable
quantity. From Goose Lake Val
ley, the route crosses into Warner
alley, where there is some more
good land, and thence it passes
through the southern portions of
Harney and Malheur counties,
crossing the Steins Mountain range
near the headwaters of the Donder
and Blitzen River.
Heppner Coal Mines.
Road Land Sold.
The holdings of the Oregon &
California Land Company in Ore
gon have been sold to Eastern
capitalists for $700,000. This will
certainly be good news to the peo
ple of Central Oregon.
The land sold to the Eastern
capitalists constitutes the eastern
end of the great Oregon Central
jiilitary road grant, which was
made in 1864 by the State of Ore
gon to the company of that name,
the total area of the grant being
between 600,000 and 700,000 acres

by New York capitalists, who re
cently sold out their interest in the
Pennsylvania and Ohio coal mines.
to the J. P. Morgan syndicate. This
new company has had its experts
in Morrow county for several
weeks, and as a result a proposi
tion to purchase the Heppner
men's interests has been made and
is receiving favorable consider
ation. "Our company owns 5000 acres
of thr?e coal lands," said C. A.
Rhea, a stockholder, today, "and
we have expended $140,000 in ob
taining title and in development
work. He have several veins tap
ped at a considerable depth, and
these prove the existence of an ex
cellent supply of coal to be practi
cally inexhaustible.
"We should have placed this
coal on the market long ere this,
but we could get no encourage
ment from the 0. R. & N. in re
gard to furnishing cars to take the
coal to market. We would have
built the 20-mile line of railroad
from Heppner to the mines, but
could not arrange for the necessary
rolling stock.
"The new company, however, is
amply able to equip itself with all
the modern facilities, and you may
expect to see lots of good, cheap
coal in Portland within the next
year, at least." Telegram.
"Why don't you buy a cottage
