CROOK COUNTY
HIGH SCHOOL
Fall Term Opens Sep
tember 17.
A WORD TO PARENTS
People of Crook County Asked to
be Loyal to Home In
stitution!. To the Patrons and Supporters of
the Crook County High School:
Another term of the Crook
County High School will begin
Monday, September 17th and that
the school may prove as efficient,
or more so, as it bas been in the
past, we make this appeal to you
for your axsihtance.
home work.
The recitation periods have been
extended to forty minutes, making
possible more thorough teaching,
tut reducing somewhat the time
for study during the daily sessions.
Consequently it becomes necessary
for pupils to prepare a consider
able part of their work at home. As
many find it difficult to resixt any
temptation which presents' itself to
neglect this, we appeal to you for
your aid in removing this tempta
tion by discouraging social gather-
ngs of any character whatever, on
any of the four school nights of
the week, and by encouraging the
pupil to apply himself to his study
for a sufficient time each evening.
By so doing you will not only be
aiding in the education of the stu
dent but you will he assisting us
towards the accomplishment of
two important ends of schooling,
viz: the power to resist tempta
tion and an appreciation of the
value of hard work. Our work is
not so difficult as to prevent the
pupil from securing a reasonable
amount of rest if the time be
properly applied and should en
danger no one's health. The effort
to keep up both school and social
duties, however, is too much of a
strain upon the health of anyone
and the parent who permits it in
their children must expect them to
suffer therefrom. . .We do not
want pupils to deprive themselves
of exercise (exercise, for an hour
or two each day is indispensable),
but we do expect them to use the
evenings of Monday, Tuesday,
Wednesday and Thursday for
study, and we urge parents to aid
them and us by seeing that they
so use this time. As we have no
claim on the other three evenings
and as we fully realize that church
and social work have an important
place in the education of any one,
we encourage and urge parents to
encourage our pupils to spend
those evenings in participation in
such work and in such pleasures.
RULES AND GOVERNMENT.
Rules of conduct are put into
the hands of every pupil in the
School Catalogue and every fair
meaiis is used to secure gentleman
ly and ladylake conduct not only
in but out of school. As disorder
ly conduct on the part of any one
connected with the school tends to
tear down its reputation and thus
retard its growth and impair its
usefulness, we ask you to aid us in
every wav possible in preventing
any . discreditable conduct on the
streets or in public meetings or in
any place where pupils are not
subject to the supervision of some
member of the faculty. Informa
tion concerning such conduct will
he welcomed, and as the growth of
this school means much to Crook
county and to Prineville, we be
lieve it is right in you to aid us in
preventing disorder by: reporting
it to us. Too many young people
have been ruined because of hesi
tation about reporting misconduct
to parents or teachers.
PURPOSK OK OUR WORK.
Theie seems to he among pupils
nd possibly among parents a pret
ty general misunderstanding of the
purjKme of much of our work. Ofj
the various studies, only a few.
such as arithmetic, grammar, W)k-
keeping, etc., have any immediate
practical value. All others, such j
as algebra, geometry, Latin, his
tory, etc., are valuable largely as
a source of training. As the suc
cessful mechanic must spend many
years in training his hands, so the
educated man or woman gets his
education only by training his
various mental powers. So these
several branches of study are in
tended to train the mind in ac
curacy, thoroughness, rapidity of
action, stict-to-it-tiveness, to bring
completely under the control of
the will, and to make the mind,
like the hand, an organ which is
skilled in the powers without which
no one can succeed. Some of our
instruction too is intended to edu
cate in honesty, truth, self-reli
ance, sense of the value of indus
try, oourtesy, etc., as without
doubt you appreciate fully the
value of the qualities enumerated,
we urge you to encourage your
children and the young people of
your acquaintance to avail them
selves of the complete four years
of mental and moral training
which we give.
LOYALTY TO THE SCHOOL.
We urge upon you the necessity
of standing by the school. Just as
"knocking" in the several growing
communities of this county, or in
the county itself, or in the state, is
greatly to be deplored, so to an in
stitution like this, especially in the
earlier years of its career, it may
cause great harm. If mistakes are
made in our policy, we assure you,
they are of the head and not of
the heart.. If these mistakes are
of such nature that they may be
corrected, we ask you to bring
them to the notice of the faculty;
if they are mistakes which are ir
remediable with the present prin
cipal or faculty, we ask you t
bring them before the board that
better teachers may be secured
Broadcast criticism of the school
not only does not usually correc t
the errors, but does much harm
and, as said before, the advance'
ment of this institution means
much to you and to this county
Another thing which possibly
ought to be spoken of is that the
school is a county institution and
should always be called by its true
name, Crook County High School
COMMERCIAL DEPARTMENT.
As there is considerable demand
for more work preparing for busi
ness career, such as bookkeeping
commercial law and arithmetic
business forms, shorthand and
typewriting, the Board are con
sidering its introduction in the
near future and some of our work
o this year will be planned to pre
pare students so desiring to take
up such a course. If you wish the
work introduced, we ask you to ex
press your wishes either to the
Board or to the faculty during the
year that we may determene how
extensive is the demand for it.
VISITATION.
Visits from you are of much
good and we extend you a cordial
invitation to come and see us at
work.
Again asking you for your loy
alty to the school and your aid in
building it up, we remain, very
truly yours,
The Faculty of the Crook County
High School.

Pain from a Burn Promptly Relieved by
Chamberlain's Pain Balm.
A little childof Michael Strauss, of
Vernon, Conn., was recently in great
pain from a burn on the hand, and as
colu applications only increased tne in-
nainmation, Mr. Mrauss came to M
Jumes N. Nichols, a local merchant, for
something to stop the pain. M
Nichols Bays: "I advised him to use
Chamberlain's Pain Balm, and the first
application drew out the inflammation
and gave immediate relief. I have used
this linament myself and recommend it
very often for cuts, burns, strain., an
lame back, and have never known it to
disappoint," For sale uv 1. I . Adam

BRING IN EXHIBITS
And See that Your Neighbor!
Do Likewise Good
Accommodations.
The Central Oregon Live Stock
& Agricultural Association through
its officers are making strenuous
fforts to have the coming October
fair to be held in Prineville the
best yet held in the county. To
carry out this intention means a
whole lot. of hard work. The last
fair held in this county was con
sidered a fine one and to beat it
this year means that the people
must take hold of it and supple
ment the efforts of the association
Let nobody shift their responsibili
ty in this matter. Each and every
person in Crook county has a di
rect or indirect interest in the suc
cess of the local institutions of the
community. Everybody can in
some way help push: things along,
If you have nothing to exhibit see
to it that your neighbor represent.
If he has nothing in livestock that
looks good he may excel in grains,
grasses, vegetables, or fruits. The
main point is to see that he takes
an interest in the matter and the
chances are ten to one he will be
out after premiums. The time is
short so everybody should get in
and rustle.
The premium list for the fair is
n the bands of the printer and
will be ready for distribution in a
week or two. In looking over the
list of prizes offered we footed up
one hundred ana eighty dinerent
articles upon which first and
second premiums are offered. In
the horse class there are thirty-one
different entries. In the. novelty
prizes we see that the ladies have
not been overlooked. A premium
is offered for the smartest turnout
to be driven by a lady. In sum
ming up the points everything
connected with the turnout will be
taken into consideration. The
horse, harness, buggy, whip, robes
and even the costume of the driver.
This gives plenty of scope for the
display of taste and ingenuity on
the part of our lady friends.
If a lady is a good horsewoman
she will be given an opportunity
to compete for a prize offered for
the best saddle horse. It must be
shown under saddle and be ridden
by the owner.
gentlemen are also onerea a
prize for the best saddle horse. It
must be shown under saddle and
be ridden by the owner.
The school children of Crook
county are given a chance to earn
some premiums. In the school ex
hibit two prizes are offered for the
best composition: two prizes for
the best arithmetic scheme by
pupils over 7 years, and two prizes
for the best arithmetic papers by
pupils under 7 years of age. Two
prizes are offered for the best
language papers. Now, boys and
girls, get in and drill.
Will Try the Campbell System.
The Pilot Butte Development
Company will experiment next
season with the Campbell system
of dry farming in the vicinity of
Bend says the Telegram. A sub
soil packer has been ordered, and
a thorough test will be given
throughout this vicinity both on
irrigated lands and on soil that re
ceives no moisture except from the
fall and winter rains. A. M.
Drake, president of the P. B. D.
Co., believes that this system of
farming will be of great benefit to
all sections of the Deschutes Val
ley, and especially those sections
where it is impossible to get water
to irrigate, or where irrigation
would be too expensive on &ccouut
of having to bring water such a
great distance. The Compbell sys
tem would save that expense, and
then in sections like Agency
Plains and the country around
Madras and other point where
water could not be brought, thia
system would be of great benefit.
The Campbell system aims to
prepare the soil to admit all the
meager rainfall that ia precipitat
ed, and then retain it in the soil.
First, there must be deep plow
ing to create a reservoir for the
moisture and to prepare the toil so
that it will allow the rain to srmk
in readiiy. Then the subsurface
soil must be firmly packed and the
grain drilled in a trifle beneath
the surface of the packed subsoil.
Over this subsoil there must be
about three inches ol dust, and this
dust mulch must be kept in that
condition during the growing sea
son. The subsurface soil must be
packed because moisture cannot rise
readily through a loose soil, but by
capillarity rises easily through a c
firm, well-packed soil, thus bring
ing the moisture up to the roots of
the grain. As has been stated
moisture cannot rise through a
loose soil, so that the dust mulch
check the upward movement of
moisture, keeps it from the surface
of the air and hot sun. Thus by
the Campbell method the moisture
is allowed to rise to the plant
roots and is kept from escaping in
to the air by evaporation.
This system has been used with
much success in Colorada and Ne
braska and other dry regions
where the soil is very similar to
the soil of the Deschutes Valley,
and for this reason Mr. Drake,
who has studied the system very
carefully, expects great results
from his experiments here.
Maury Mountain Obserralory.
There was a fine ball at the
Maury Hall August 24. There
was no liquor and consequently
no fights. Everyone enjoyed
themselves to the utmost.
There was born August 24 to the
wife of Thomas Houston a fine
pair of twins, a boy and a girl.
The mother and little ones are do-.
ing nicely.
Sunday evening while Thomas
Houston and family and some
visitors were at dinner, the little 7-
year son ot Mr. Houston and o-
year old son of Mr. Hollis climbed
onto a gentle horse and started for
a pond a few hundred yards away.
The little fellows urged the pony
into a gallop causing the Houston
boy to fall to the ground, breaking
his arm just below the elbow joint.
Dr. Edwards of Prineville was
called to attend the break which
was a bad one. The boy is doing
nicely. Mr. Houston will take
him to Prineville and place him
under the doctor's care where he
will remain as long as is necessary.
Thomas O'Kelly quit the coun
try very niysteriou-ly Saturday
morning. He left the ballroom at
daybieak, got his horse and rode
as far as Mr. Morris place with
Grover Price who was only going
that far. He took no money and
no clothes other than those he was
wearing, and when asked by Price
if he didn't want to take some he
replied that he hud enough to last
him as long as he would need any.
He has not been heard from since.
O'Kelly was an owner in the
Maury Mountains sawmill. He
said nothing to his partner of his
intention to leave the country.
Frank Smith is working the
roads in our district. He is put
ting the Stewart grade in fine con
dition, making good switch-backa
or turnouts at various points.
The roads are undergoing a gener
