Single Men Win Baseball Game.
The baseball game last Sunday
'afternoon between the married
men and the single men was the
most entertaining event of the
kind that has been witnessed in
Prineville in a number of years.
Not that there wa any noteworthy
exhibition of ball playing, from a
professional standpoint, but the
teams were so evenly matched and
the game was so lively that the
spectators were kept at attention
from start to finish.
The result of the seven innings
played gave the single men seven
runs and the married men five.
At the end of the third inning,
neither team has scored, but in the
fourth the pitchers begin to show
the strain from lack of practice
and from that time on to the end
of the game both Bailey and O'Neil
wera rapped out very often. Until
the last man was out it was any
body's game, and in the last half
of the seventh the married men
had a good chance to tie the score.
with two runners on bases, but the
men who came to bat could not
negotiate a safe hit.
That the single men weuld win
over the "married stiffs"
pected but it was a surprise that
me game was so close. Court
Stenographer Dufur of The Dalles
officiated as umpire.
Crook County Crops Good
That the country about Agency
Plains and Madras is in a thriving
condition, but that it is sadly lack
ing in transportation facilities, was
the statement made recently by O.
E. RouBh, proprietor of the Madras
Trading Company. Mr. Rough is
in Portland to make arrangements
for his Spring goods.
Mr. Roush said a bumper wheat
crop was raised on Agency Plains
last year, and that, notwithstand
ing the dry spell, the crop bids fair
to be a fine one this year. The
plateau known as the plains covers
about 150 square miles.
"As that is the largest territory
in the United States without a rail
road," said Mr. Roush, "I believe
we will soon have one. We are
now 45 miles from the terminus of
the Columbia Southern. Survey
ors have been through the country
looking it over, and it is only a
short time since Harriman himself
was through there. But I do not
go much on Harriman. I think
he will do the country more harm
than good.
"Madras is the proud possessor
of five stores, two drugstores, two
livery stables and a weekly news
paper. The contract has been let
for two churches. There were
formerly two saloons, but there is
only one now. The church people
got busy and turned it into a
church town.
Property values are increasing
there as well as elsewhere in Ore
gon. Three lots which I pur
hased two years ago for $150 would
now sell for $250. There are no
more homesteads to be had in that
vicinity. Lota on the business
street are selling for $450." Ore-gonian.
Work Began New Courthouse.
J. B. Shipp returned from Port
land, Salem and Albany Tuesday
morning where he has been makiog
contracts for building material for
use in the construction of the new
court house. Contracts werw made
with factories and wholesale houses
for almost all that will be needed
until the actual work of finishing
is begun.
Phillips A Douglass, the stone
masons that have charge of pre
paring and placing all of the
stonework, have removed the steps
that were, not of the required width
and are otherwise rushing the
work. They have eight men at
work in the stone quarry. Enough
stone has been taken out to enable
the dressing to begin and auother
crew of men will be put at this
work just as soon as they can be
obtained from Portland.
Mr. Douglass, when asked about
how many men would be employ
ed when the work was under full
progress, said "Our total crew will
be about twenty-five or thirty men,
or even more if they can be worked
to advantage. About half of these
men will be common laborers and
will be local men for the most part.
The stonecutters will come from
Portland as only the best cuo be
used on a job of this kind. The
work will be rushed to completion
and we will have a roof on the
building and be ready for the in
side work within six months.
I think before fall the roof will be
on and the stonework nnisneu.
Our greatest delay will be from
difficulty in transportation, as at
present we are waiting on a car
load of lime to start the mixing of
mortar." These men display first
class ability in the handling of
men and the use of stone cutters'
tools. Crook county will no doubt
have a building that will be a cred
it to it when the new court house
is completed.
