PRINEVILLE APPRECIATED How The Dallei Boy Feel Orer Their Trip'to ThU Place. "Ktrcbor 8trebla,w or, if read backward, Albert 8. Roberts, who came to I'rineville with The Dalles debating team, wroto an account of hia trip for The Dalle Daily Chronicle. The story that Mr. Roberts tells is to kindly and ap preciative that we gladly repro duce it. He writes: "Ihursuay morning at six we started for Prineville by stage, i rough, dusty, wearying ride of six ty-five miles, which on schedule time is made in thirteen add one- half hours, but it was our misfor tune to be so heavily loaded as to take fifteen and one-half hours or 9:30 p.m. when we arrived at Prine ville. On the way we changed horses at Ileisler's on Hay creek, where we ate our dinner; again we changed horses at Willow creek, which team took us clear to our destination. On upper Hay creek, which is really the "plant" of the Baldwin Sheep and Land Company, one of the largest thoroughbred sheep breeding plants in the world. Blooded stock from this concern is shipped to all parts of the world, not excepting South Africa, Aus tralia, New Zealand, etc. This company's business is so extensive that the necessary buildings make quite a village. Their broad alfal fa meadows are certainly fine. It is claimed that the extreme eleva tion of their ranges, the feed on their holdings in the Blue moun tains, always green, and their alfal fa, produces a condition peculiarly adapted to raising a staple of wool so long, strong, lustrous and silky that it is unexcelled if equalled in the world. The alfalfa meadows to be seen on Antelope, Trout and Hay creeks are certainly good to behold after the long ride over the stretch of waste and scab land from Shaniko to the mouth of Cow canyon. Along this dreary stretch of country we saw a number of bands of sheep with vigilant herder and his faith ful dog standing guard. Between Willow creek and McKay creek we pass over a low gap in the spur of the Blue Mountains which extends a long rough ridge between these creeks. Every few miles alone the road are elevation markings placed by the United States geodetic sur vey and I noticed at the summit this: "U.S juniper 4145." Were it not for the pine and juniper ob structing the view from this point would be grand. In spite of the timber we could catch glimpses in the distance of meadows in the valleys nestling between the high plateaus ever crested by the ubiquitous "rimrock" and in the far distance the Cascade range with its peaks clad with per petual white. At Prineville, late as it was, the boys were cordially met by a dele gation of students and the profes sor who accompanied us to the noiei, wnere we were given quar ters fit for a prince. And right here I will say that we " received hospitality which is peculiar to the west and especially so on the fron tier, inis coupled witn every modern convenience in a newly built $40,000 stone building, made our stay at the Hotel Prineville a pleasure to us. The meals en route were very good, but the ser vice here was certainly superior Friday forenoon the boys spent with the students visiting the schools and viewing the apparatus, etc. I met a number of old Dalles people, who are in business in and near Prineville. Wm. Young is prosperous blacksmith, as is also John Wigle, one of our school boys back in the80rsv Wm.Wigle. a former Dalles butcher, is about laid up with rheumatism, Hon. J N. Williamson who is known to us all and was one of our residents for awhile, resides in Prineville, highly respected citizen. He, like many other citizens of the place has large stock interests out in the surrounding ranges. In the afternoon the boys were given a very nice reception at the high school, where n address of welcome was extended and several novel games were introduced which were appreciated. One of our boys won first prize in one of these. This was followed by a social time and some light refreshments. The hall where the contest was neia is the upstairs part of the Commercial Club's quarters and is large enough to be used for thea ters, basket ball, tennis, etc., and rigged with paraphernalia for a gymnasium. By 8:30 p.m. this hall was filled with about 375 persons, who were certainly an eager and expectant audience. A eood Drocrram was rendered. The Dalles leader in opening up the debate did this in a very masterful manner, announc ing the framework of their argu ment and that they had certain points to contend for and maintain. Evidently their leader anticipated the (rend the debate would take and set to work to break in on its formation. The colleagues on both sides rendered good support to the leaders. I thought our boys dove tailed and fitted their' work to gether exceptionally well. In closing Prineville made quite an oratorical display and the speaker ed. Our boys are not discouraged nor are they sore, for they consider they were beaten fairly. The ex perience if profitted by, will be i good lesson. It is only fair to our boys to say here in explanation that they were not coached, or trained in any wise for this contest nor did either teacher criticise or censor the sub ject matter of their talk. At the same time our boys did their re gular school work with their clas ses up to the hour before their de parture. On the other hand I learn from a reliable source that the Prineville boys were not only drill ed by the teachers but for several days previous had dropped all school work to prepare for the oc casion. 1 nave been asked about bow this compared with the Hood River debate and will say that for heavy suoject, weighty argu ment, masterful arrangement and complete elucidation that contest would stand no comparison with this. In closing, Tonly wish I had the powersto set forth to our Dalles people" the sentiment, the atmos- phere,"the 'support, the spirit and the loyalty with which the Crook county people have surrounded their high school. . It was a revela tion to me. Had it been in Eugene, Forest Grove, Corvallis or some other college town I would not 1 Commencement Exercises P. A. A. C.

Dinwiddie received quite an ovation as he re tired. But even the Pnnevillft people recognize the merit of The Dalles boy in his rebuttal and closing. He certainly captured the audience. The judges then retired and it took them fully fifteen minu tes to determine their decision. This was announced by the chair man, Judge Bell, after a few minu tes in complimenting the boys, "but," said he, "I am sorry to have to announce to you that you can t have the cup." With an adverse decision, in a room where the temperature was near the freezing point, it was a good time for the boys to have "cold feet" but the crowd swarmed up to the boys of both teams an) extended hearty congratulations. After The Dalles had expressed our appreciation of the courtesies shown the orowd dispersed. It was after 11 o'clock when the exercises here were over and about 1 when we retired only to be called at 5 a.m and take the stage for our return trip. This was a livelier affair than our outward trip, as there were fewer passengers, lighter load and more speed. - We arrived at The Dalles to be met by about a dozen of the high school students and one of the pro fessors. ...... v r . Monday morning the students met in the assembly room and lis tened to the account of our trip and our version of how it happen- have been surprised, but at an in terior town, on the frontier, on the very border line of the wilderness j and civilization, to find such spirit indeed was a surprise and it cer tainly reflects great credit on those who have had the brunt of battle in organizing and getting into its present condition the Crook county people as well as its high school. No doubt our Prof. Strange, who came from there last January, after a four years' sojourn with them, was very largely instrumental in this, and it seems as if the people out there could not speak too much of praise for him. It is evident to an observer that he has crept into and taken possession of their af fections and etteem. .When Prineville next year gives us a return visit, I bespeak for them in a degree a return .of the kindness and hospitality shown our boys, and in the meantime I hope a little of the school spirit I saw out there manifested may be infused into and grow within this community. Strebor Strebla. In response to a fire larm turn ed in at 11:30 Sunday night our citizens were awakened to find the little home of "Johnny" Prior en veloped in flames. Two streams were soon playing upon the blaze and when it had been subdued sufficiently for a man to enter the building, the body of the unfortunate man was found lying face downward on the floor near the door. It is supposed that he tried to escape but being intoxi cated was overcome by the smoke and flames. The body was without clothing and from all appearances had been in bed when the fire started. It was his custom to have one or more coal oil lamps about the house and the blaze must have started by one of these being over turned or exploding. The build ing was almoet entirely consumed and its contents were ruined. John Prior was a native of Ire land and was brought to this coun try when a child by his sister at the aee of 17. He joined the First Connecticut Light artillery iorl861, at tho age of seventeen. Later he was connected with the Heavy Ar tillery and it is said held a place in the navy department at some time. He was in the government employ something more than two years and received a pension from the War Department for the service. He has a brother and a sister in New Haven, Conneticut, and a nephew in some of the New Eng land States. He was a member of the U.A.R, and K. of P., and was laid to rest by the latter body on Monday afternoon at 2 o'clock in the Odd Fellows cemetry. "Johnny" was one of the oldest members of the Knights of Pythias in the United States, having be longed forty-three years and was in good standing at the time of his death. He was a patriotic and good na tured old vetran who will be great ly missed from our midst. Rev. Bass Hat Resigned. Rev. B. W. Bass will occupy the pulpit at the Union church next Sunday preaching morning and evening. Our citizens generally will re gret to learn that this will be his last Sunday with us. He announ ced to the members of his church at the close of the meeting last Sunday that on account of circum: stances connected with outside points at which he was preaching that he could not afford to remain longer in Central Oregon. The reverend gentleman compli ments the members of the Chris tian church on their loyal support and earnest work generally, and ia grateful to the citizens of Prine ville for the kiudness shown him self and family since he camejnto their midst last October. The in terest and sympathy manifested last fall during the serious illness of Mrs. Bass will long be cherish ed in the memory of himself and wife. We sincerely hope that some ar rangements can be made so that Rev. Bass can give his whole time to the work in Prineville. He has made many freinds during his short stay with us who appreciate him both as a man and as a gifted young preacher. 20 to 2. Eighth Grade Graduates.

Barnes, Stanley Morris, Law rence Hyde. The score of 20 to 2 tells the story of the ball game between An telope and Prineville. The game was too one-sided to be interesting. Antelope went to bat first and was blanked up to the ninth inning, when two runs were made. Prine ville made 10 in the first and with this lead took things easy. A return game will be played with Antelope on June 2. J. E. Stewart & Co., have a few Bungles aud Hacks left on wlilcli they are making very low prices. '4
