THOKK BENEFITED
Thoe wlio are holding projierty
for speculative purpose in the
towns chosen for county seats in
the new counties would be benefit
ed, but tho.e holding property not
for sale in eaid towns would not be
benefited, but on the contrary
would le damaged by an uni-eces
ary burden of tax. Those hold
ing protXTty for Fpeculative pur
poses are few in number ae com
pared with the majority of people
even in those towns. If the coun
ty is divided into three parts it
will require
3 COUKTHOl'ra AND 3 SETS OF COUNTY
OFFICERS.
This would give employment to
three times the number of county
officers we now have and the
chance fdr county office would
therefore be three times as p't s
now. This is why many men are
working for the division they
want a county omce. Iney no
ioubt would be benefited if they
couui t'i uie omce out mere are
ten wanting olliee for every chance
that would be created. So per
haps these disgruntled politicians
and otlice welters would lie benefit
ed ai.d perhnps not.
TO 8ITTK I'KINEVIIXR HUS1NKSS MEN
Another claHn who are wanting
the county divided are those who
wish to ispite certain business men
in Prineville because they have
been refused credit or have been
compelled to pay a long standing
bill. They would as well bite off
their nose to spite their face. A
man who could not get credit in
Prineville could hurdly get it any
where else in the United States.
And the business men of Prineville
have been the most patient and
accommodating of any men of
their class I have ever known.
There are quits a number who will
favor dividing the county for no
other reason than to spits Prine
ville business men. Spits Trine-
vills because of their own lack of
honesty and trustworthiness! As
will disgruntled politicians favor
ivision to spits ths county for
their own lack of popularity.
WOULD BENEFIT SPECULATORS AND
POLITICIAH8.
While it would benefit a few
speculators who hold property in
the would be county seats, is it
right to tax ths people of ths
whole county for their benefit? It
would certainly cost three times as
much to keep up three groups of
county officers and build and
maintain three sets of county
buildings as ons. Would we not
-Tbe very foolish to thus doable or
treble our taxes for the benefit of a
few speculators and office seekers?
Can you present any reason what
ever for dividing the county ex
cept to benefit these ofiiceseekers
and speculators?
Are not ths county officers of
Prineville capable of doing the
work for the whole county as it
now stands and are they not doih
their work faithfully? To ask
these questions is to answer them
You know that one set of officers
always has been and always will be
able to do the work of the whole
county. Whr then burden the
people with this
UNNECESSARY TAXATION.
The county is large, 'tis true,
but it is thinly settled and much
of it always will be. We have better
roads than in any part the of state
and our enterprising commission
ers are doing much to improve
them. Last year $17,000 or 40
per cent of the whole amount of
tax raised in Crook county was
spent in improving the roads; and
Western Crook the portion
which they propose to cut offre
ceived five thousand dollars more
of this money than did Eastern
Crook and yet they who are want
ing to divide the county publish
the lying statement that they re
ceived none of it. The records
show where every dollar has been
placed. I live in this would-be
new county 54 miles from Prine
ville and the commissioners im
proved the road all the way out as
they have every where else in
Western Crook.
men to the county offices and thus
get the justice to their side which
they claim the county commission
ers have denied them.
The Bend people are highly in
censed because Prineville is to be
beautified with a new courthouse.
They would sing a different song if
it was to be built at Bend. The
article in last week's Bulletin
breathes so strongly of jealousy, de
ception and egotism that if it were
not a serious matter we would
have to laugh at its absurdity.
That a cause should find its chief
argument in lies and slander
shows that it has no better grounds
on which to stand.
THX BEND BULLETIN LIES.
I want to say to the Bulletin
people that your boasted superior
ity, honesty and enterprise over
the people of Prineville and East
ern Crook is a lie. You no douht
are more enterprising in ways of
deception. Some of you are prob
ably from Connecticut and would
like to palm off your wooden nut
megs onto the people ei Crook
county.
Without the assessable tinber
lands every one knows that it
would be impossible to raise the
money necessary io defray the
county expenses in the proposed
new counties, and every one ought
to know that with modern appli
a nee every foot of assessable tim
ber could be removed inside of
ten years and without the timber
the land would be practically
worthless.
This scheme to divide the county
is one of the most unjust attempts
of grafters that has ever been made
in Oregon. Let every lover of
justice that believes in the great
est good to the greatest number op
pose it. Homer M. Street.

LIES AGAINST PRINEVILLE.
The Bend paper is publishing all
manner of lies against Prineville
and the county officers to embitter
the people of the west side and
carry out their plan for division.
At the same time the Bulletin
claims that the proposed Deschutes
county has a population of four
thousand people. If this is true
they have over half of the popula
tion of the county as it now stands
and should elect their own highly
boasted of honest and enterprising

Prairie sends in the following wed
ding announcement.

Fulgham were married at the resi

Editor Journal I recently pick
ed up a copy of "Drake's Literary
Bureau" where it had been care
lessly lost by some visitor from the
town of Bend. I enclose it here
with, an i call your attention to
the article which I Have marked.
Drake's Literary Bureau.
(Bend edition for home consump
tion.)
To the people of Bend: You
know the condition of our town for
the past eighteen months, and it
is unnecessary to discuss its causes;
for good reasons we have laid
our calamities to the enmity and
jealousy of Prineville. Things are
brighter.
"Now is the winter of our dis
content turned glorious summer."
The unfortunate dispute with
the D. I. & P. Co. has been patch
ed up, and we have made a treaty
with the great Lumber Trust,
which owns the timber south and
west of us, by which its powerful
influence is secured to us.
As a result of this combination
Deschutes county is to be organ
ised with boundaries entirely
favorable to Bend. The county
will extend fifty-four miles south
of Bend; twenty-seven miles east,
and twenty-four miles north of us
to Crooked river. The long dis
tance Bouth and east insures us the
county seat against the denser
population north of our town.
The east line of the county has
been sigzaged around so as to pun
ish Prineville for her political and
other sins, pander to the ill-feeling
which exists against that town in
the western part of old Crook
county.
While the D.I. & P. Co. will
not openly abandon the town of
Redmond, we need fear bo more
trouble from that quarter.
The quarrel between the people
around Laidlaw and the ditch
company the C, S. I. Co. and the
ill-feeling which exists there
against the founder of the town,
has so weakened that town that it
can make no oDDoeition; the small

OF HOWARD, CROOK COUNTY, OREGON
Canalization 500.000 Shares. Subscription Price $1.00 per Share-
Treasury Stock 100,000, Par Value Non Assessable.
Paying from the grass roots down.
The property consists of 33 claims in the South
eastern part of Crook county, on the head waters of
the Ochoco river. There is an abundance 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 mines are now on a paying basis, but with
additional machinery they can be made a big dividend
payer as the output can be doubled with very little
additional cost of labor. In order to install this ma
chinery the management has decided to issue 10,000
shares of Treasury Stock. This stock will in all
probabilities be the last offered for sale. It will be
sold at $1.00 per share. There is no deviating from
this price. That the stock will increase in value is a
certainty. You can find no better place to invest
your money. If you desire to get in on this you will
have to do so at once, as this stock was put on the
market in order to give the residents of the county a
chance to realize something from an investment in
one of their own properties.
This is not a speculation at all but a sound business
investment based upon ascertained facts. The mine
has been developed beyond the experimental stage.
About the best recommendation we can give these
mines is that the men employed by the company are
investing their savings in the purchase of this stock.
Also such men as Clark, Daly, Fair, Haggin, and a
host of others have made their money from mines and
the development of them.
