He report crops in the Lamonla dis trict very fair, but with a falling off from laat year' banner vivid in the Agency plaint wheat belt. Merchant and others arc warned against cashing money or Jen for strangers, the same a check. Not that a genuine money order is valueless, but because recently a largo number of blank money or ders have been Btolei from govern ment till in robberies of email country post ollicey, and these are being cashed over a. wide area by the burglars and their confederates. T. T. Monger, forest assistant, arrived in l'rineville Wednesday aiormng. He is be re to make a special rtudy of what was formerly tbe Fremont reserve, with the ob ject of discovering why conditions in thia area favor the rapid growth of the lodge pole pine, an undesir able variety, to the detriment of other trees more useful.

Acting in compliance with a re quest received from (he Law St Order League, Mayor Wurzweiler on Tuesday asked Recorder Draper to have the city marshal notify the "red lighta" to leave town on or before September 1. The notifi cation was made tbe same day. The Frinevillo moving picture show i delivering the good all right, or rather it manager are buying and installing them, for Tuesday of this week witnessed the apjK arance of a fine piano at this place ol amusement and -hence forth the sound of the phonograph will not be quite so aonorous. Miss Gertie Hodge baa been engaged as piano player. The electric lights over part cf the city, on the went side of Main street, were out of commission on Saturday and Sunday night and the general use of lamps and can dle recalled memories of the lonf ago, fhowins that though the rail road has not yet come l'rineville has progressed some, anyway. It would be hard today to omit the use of electricity, telephones or water mains. l'rineville will enjoy roller skat ing this winter, and the hum of the skates will resound on the floor of the F. A. C. building after Oct. 1, possibly sooner. In this connec tion it can be stated that Ora Par ker, who left this city four years ago, has returned from Goldendale, u ash., and is now at the Poindez- tor hotel. He came back with the express intention of opening a rink on the lift bank of the Ochoco just on Main street, but when he was made aware that the club had al ready ordered skatea he decided to shelve bis own plans.

Two brothers named Fierce passed through Pnneville Tuesday in a camp wagon bound for Har ney county, from whence they will return by a devious route, pos sibly again by way of this city, to their home in the Rogue river val ley. They are looking over the country, camping, hunting and nsliing. Many telephone poles on the road to Powell Buttes and Bend have rotted off at the bottom and fallen, carrying the wire down with them. The wire must be of unusually strong texture, as it has n no case been broken and in nearly each instance -continues -to support the weight of the fallen poles. But sleet and a cold snap next winter will surely lix it and cut off wire communication. Jim Wilson and Bruce Ileisler of Paulina, Ben Gotter of Red mond, and John Alden Seabury of Prineville, recently explored the itlle known cavern which has its entrance in the middle of the flat some six miles southwest of Pau lina, back of the Roberta ranch. The entrance is email, but the cave slops downward at an angle of 40 degree i for nearly 200 feet, with traces of water at the bottom. In all there are five interior shafts, but in no place can a man stand upright, though the roof ia 60 or 70 feet across. The feeling inside is that the roof is about to crush out one's life. The cave is occu pied by a colony of porcupines in the winter and has been christened Porcupine cave. , DIED.

Several catalogues houses arc I nfTrini inst as frrwvlM rrenm qptu P ... 1 j r, r ar.ltors or sale at a lower price than the U. S. Cream Separator sells for. But before the unfortu nate purchaser of one of these" "mail order" separators gets through paving the repair bills he finds that first cost isn't the only dilference. The " cheap " separat ors soon get out of nx because they are built of cheap material. and loosely put together. The cost of repairs alone-in the first year or two would pay the difference in price between one of them and a U. S. Hut more important still they do not skim clean, they waste cream at every.skimming. , U. S. CREAM SEPARATORS have stood the test of time. Many of them have been in use for io years or more, and have cost their owners next to nothing for repairs. They are easy running, skim cleaner than any others, have a simple, easy-to-wash bowl ; enclosed, safety gearing and a convenient, low milk tank. See a U. S. Separator for yourself that's the best way. They are sold by The Horton "Spinner" wash ing machine. One of the latest and best machines on the market. Price is no higher than for old style machines. sir HARDWARE DEPARTMENT We are constantly adding new lines in this department and can fill almost any want in tjceware, graniteware, wooden and willow ware, garden and lawn supplies, ammunition, etc. You will be pleased with our price.
