Bids
Have Beea Received but
the Question is Still
Pending.
Bids (or the construction of a
new court house at Prineville were
opened by the count court at
their November session. The
lana and specifications submitted
were the same identical plans
offered when bids rere called (or
last June, but at that time the
contractors did not visit Prineville
to inform themselves as to the
local conditions (or prosecuting
the work. This time the various
contractors came here and inspect
ed our quarries, brick yards, etc.,
and submitted their bids with a
(elter understanding of local
conditions. These bids are now
in the bands of the county court
and that body positively refused
to consider them unless the people
of Prineville would guarantee the
sum of $6400 to be used (or heat
ing and plumbing purposes. A
committee of business men is now
at work to see what they can do
toward raising the amount. It
does not follow that the building
will go up even if the amount is
raised. The county court has not
committed itself on this point.
One thing was stated positively
and that was if the building was
undertaken it would not cost the
county more than 140,000, and
might be built (or less.
The plans call for a stone founda
tion 9 feet above ground. Here
will be located the cells, jail cor
ridors, heating apparatus and
wood room.
The main floor above will con
tain the sheriff's office in the north
east corner, the offices of the
county clerk in the northwest
corner, and on the south side of
the floor will be found the rooms of
the county court, the county judge
and the recorder and treasurer's
offices. As the main part of the
county's business is transacted
here the offices were given the
most convenient location. This
floor is reached by three broad
flights of stone steps, with covered
porticoes and vestibules leading
into a rotunda situated in the
center of the building. The
entrance to the different offices
of course is from this rotunda.
Two flights of stairs lead from this
room to the one above.
On the second floor will be
located the district court room,
jury rooms, the circuit judge's
room, a retiring room for the use
of members of the bar, surveyor's
office, grand jury room, library,
school superintendent's room,
assessor's room, etc. Two toilet
rooms are located both on this
floor and on the main floor
below.
As will be seen, the plans and
specifications call (or a building
that will meet all demands for at
lesst a hundred years. The
structure will have a native stone
foundation and a super-structure
of stone and brick.- Galvanized
iron cornice will be used and the
roof will be of tin. The building
will be surmounted with 40-foot
tower in which will be placed a
clock with (our transparent dials.
The buildingu 75x107 feet east
and west, two stories high with
basement above ground. The
height to the top of the tower is
100 feet.' II built the structure
will make the handsomest court
house to be lound in Eastern
Oregon.

OUren's Poem.
Tbe Rev. Mitchell requested us to
published the following poem (or tbe
benefit of his class of little ones:
"Just as 1 am," Thine own to be,
Friend of tbe young, who lovest me;
To consecrate myself to Thee,
O Jeus Christ, I come.
In the glad morning of my day.
My life to give, my vows to pay.
With no reeerve, and no delay,
With all my heart, I come.
I would live ever In the light,
I would work ever for the light.
I would serve Thee with all my might
Therefore to Tbee, I come.
"Just as I am," young, strong and
free.
To be tbe beet that I can be.
For truth, and righteousness, and
Tbee,
Lord of my life I come.
With many dreams of fame and gold
Kuccees and Joy to make me bold;
But dearer still my faith to hold,
For my whole life, I come.
And for Thy sake to win renown.
And then to take my victor's crown.
And at Thy fet to cast it down,
O Master, Lord. I come.
Selected.
Range in Bad Conditio!.
The range in this section of the
country is in a worse condition
this (all than lor years past, and
sheep and cattle men are certainly
having a hard time of it trying to
find crass eufficient to keep their
stock alive until the snow falls
when feeding time will begin
Heretofore the dry falls have been
partly set off by an abundance of
dry feed left over from the spring
season, but this year is different,
as there is hardly a spear of grass
on the outside range, and the hope
for rain has almost vanished, for
it is now so late in the season that
rain would practically do more
harm than good. We understand
that T. H. McGreer and others,
who range their sheep on the John
Day river, have already commenc
ed feeding their sheep, as that
portion of the country is shorter on
grass than the Shaniko section
Sbaniko Republican.
AWARDS
ai
There have been many inquiries
regarding the list of awards made
to the schools of Crook county at
the (air held in Prineville in Octo
ber. We expected to publish the
complete list of prizes before this,
but as exhibitors were slow about
handing in their cards the matter
has been delayed. However, for
the benefit of onr schools we ap
pend the awards made to them:
For the best general school ex
hibit First prize, Crook County
High School; second, Prineville
public school; third, Bend public
school.
Composition First prize. Bessie
Donkel, Bend; second, Elmer Pet-
tet, Prineville.
Arithmetic scheme First, Effie
Vanderveen, Madras; second, Nora
Mitchell, Prineville.
Language paper First prize,
Claire Hunter, Bend; second, Roth
Adamson, Prineville.
Number work First. Alma
Lippman, Prineville.
The other schools of the county
that came in (or honorable men
tion are:
Axhandle school, Rose Gibson,
teacher.
Paulina school, Mrs. Elmer Clark
teacher.
Mill Creek school, Aulta Snyder,
teacher.
Ashwood school, Orpha Pettit,
teacher.
Grizzly school, Floy McGee,
teacher.
Summitt Prairie, Irene Barnes,
teacher.
The judges of the exhibit were
greatly surprised at the showing
made, especially when it is con
sidered that most of the work rep
resented examination papers. The
exhibit as a whole demonstrates
the (act that the teachers of the
county are putting our schools
upon a very high plane of effi
ciency. A Good Program at the Educa
tional Meeting.
responsibility upon the shoulders
of the wives sn j mothers.
Tbe questions srising from our
public schools should not be left
entirely to the lsdies and our
school officials however capable
they are to handle them. The ma
te rial side of question should at
least appeal strongly enough to
arouse a little interest in the men.
What better advertisement can
Prineville have as a progressive.
up to-date city than good schools?
As County Superintendent Din-
iddie brought out at the Satur
day night meeting that about the
first question intending settlers ask
is "Do you have good schools?"
And tbe answer to this nuestion ,
will largely determine the place
where the homeeeeker will make
his borne.
The Prineville schools are tbe
pride of the community. They are
improving every year lor there ia
no halting place in educational
matters. From the common grades
the work has progressed in the past
few years to the three-year high
school course and this year the
three-year course has given way to
the full (our years' work. A new
physical laboratory has been es
tablished in the Crook County
High School and Principal
Strange assures us that next
year will see other valuable addi
tions made to the school's equip
ment so that as complete an edu
cation can be had right here at
Prineville as can be secured in any
high school in the state. These
facts should interest property own
ers. So from a material point of
view we say that the heads of fam
ilies in Prineville should turn out
to these educational meetings and
show by their presence that they
are interested in school work.
The educational meeting held in
the Union Church Saturday even
ing was well attended by the ladies
of Prineville but lor some reason
the presence oi the pater familias
was woefully lacking. Prineville,
however, is no exception in this
respect. It is the case nearly every
where that when a movement is on
foot for the promotion of the men
tal, moral or religious side of life
in a community the heads of fam
ilies seem quite content to shift the
Men are queer. Wouldn't there
be a roar when they went home to
their meals if they had to climb up
on a high stool in front of a table on
which there was no cloth, and eat
their meals in that fashion, yet a
majority of men, when they go to
a restaurant to eat, will pick out
the high stool and the feed board
with no cloth on it in preference
to a comfortable chair and cloth
covered table. A man will borrow
a chew of tobacco and most of
them will set their teeth into the
plug over where some other man
gnawed out a chew. Offer him a
piece of pie at home from which
his wife or one of the children had
taken a bite and he would holler
his head off. At home he will not
drink out of a glass or cup from
which some one of the family had
been drinking. Call him into the
back stall of a livery barn, pull
out a bottle and he will stick the
neck of the bottle half war down
his throat in order to get a swig,
after a half dozen other fellows had
the neck of the bottle in their
mouths. A man is a queer duck.

OREG O N
Gatewood Mining & Trading Company
OF HOWARD, CROOK COUNTY, OREGON
Capitalization 500,000 Shares. Subscription Price $1.00 per Share-
Treasury Stock 100,000, Par Value Non Assessable. Paying from the grass roots down.
This is the first opportunity the people of Crook
county have had to invest in one of their own mineral
resources. Uitherto development work on this
property has been conducted with private capital.
Now the time has come to double the output, and in
order to do so the management has decided to issue
10,000 Shares of Treasury Stock at $1.00 per Share
for the purpose of increasing the capacity of the mine.
This is probably all the stock that will be issued and
it behoove those who desire to invest in this stosk to
place their orders at once.
At present five stamps are running and it is
desired to double this output in order to accomplish
greater results.
There is 3,000 feet of tunnel work already
completed, besides 400 feet of drifts and upraises on the
ore body. The average width of vein four feet in
diorite formation. The values are uniform and run
from $25 to $125 a ton.
Under the present management the work has
gone steadily forward, a force of about 15 men being
employed.
The property consist of 33 claims in the South
eastern part of Crook county, on the head waters of
the Ochoco river. There is an abunndance of water
for power purposes and some of the best timber in the
county is located on these claims. The economic con
ditions for mining could not be better.
The Company also owns a general merchandise
store which furnishes supplies to sheep and cattlemen
