EVANGEUST DRAWS
BIG CROWDS
Cottage rayer meeting began
Tuesday morning of this week in
four part ef the city in conjunction
with the series cf revivals now being
held by Rev. C. II. Hsudenschield
at the Methodist church. The city
has been districted for this purpose
with the dividing line on Maio
street and at Ochoco creek,' home
services of an inter-denominational
evangelical character being held
each weekday morning at 9:30
o'clock at places announced the
night previous at the church.
Lectures by Mr. ilaudenschield
are also given daily at the chnrch
at 2:30 o'clock in the afternoon,
making three meetings daily, one
each in the morning, afternoon and
evening. Theee meetings will con
tinue two weeks longer. '
Interest in the services is rife,
and scarcely a service passes with
out a number of latecomers being
turned away for lack of room in
the Methodist edifice. Every Beat
is taken daily, and from the evan
gelical point of view many profess
ing Christiana are being brought
to God and a realization of His
commands and saving power thru
Jesus Christ.
Evangelist Haudenschield, who
is being ably assisted by all of the
ministers in the city, is a strong
Biblical speaker, drawing his texts
and lessons from the sufferings and
triumphs of the Children of Israel
and expounding the gospels of
Matthew, Mark, Luke and John in
an understandable, straight-from-the-shoulder
manner. At each
service he gets the people to come
forward and pray, and it has not
been unusual during his first week
here to gee fully half the congrega
tion on their knees before the altar.
Items From Post.
POST, Ore., Sept. 29. R. Booten

Cattle for Beef Points
Score Card of
Several months ago the Crook
County Journal printed the govern
ment score card for cattle, giving
the number of points allowed for
different characteristics in judging
them for prizes. In view of the
approaching Crook County Fair
we deem it of especial importance
that growers become familiar with
i', inasmuch as an expert from the
Corvallis experimental station will
be here to judge the livestock ex
hibit. Although most cattle judges
do not adhere strictly to the letter
of the weights and points in the
government score card, yet in gen
eral observation of entries the ex
pert cattle judge, whether he be a
buyer at the stock yards or award
ing the blue ribbon at a county
fair, must decide the best stock
along the general line therein
contained. So great was the de
mand for the paper containing this
score card that the Journal of that
issue quickly ran out of print and
by request of a number of stock
owners it is reproduced below.
The score card is an educator
and of great advantage to the stu
dent, but its use is not generally
favored in the show ring by lead
ing judges. The judge who goes
into the show ring, like the expert
buyer in the great markets, should
carry a well-defined mental con
ception of a good animal and be
able to detect at once the qualities
that are objectionable. This ap
plied to the animals of a ring virtu
ally amounts to a score card with
out the objectionable features of
that svstem.
In recommending the score card
to the student or stockman, the
government nses the term student
in its broadest sense, embracing
not only the prospective breeder
within the classroom but every
member of the great practical
school who wishes to keep in touch
with advanced conditions. In
other words, to put it more
plainly, breeders fail to breed good
animals because they do not know
what good animals are. A clear
and accurate understanding of
what constitutes genuine excellence
is absolutely essential to the at
tainment of that excellence. The
6-DAY MAIL SERVICE TO PAULINA
Goes Into Effect Monday, October 5 Long
Desired Improvement at Last Realized
Commencing Monday, October 5,
the present tri-weekly mail service
to Paulina will be changed to a
six-day service, the stage running
between Prineville and Paulina
every day except Sunday, starting
from either end at 6 o'clock in the
morning. A. G. Scoggins, mail
contractor and stage proprietor of
this route, will put on one new
driver for the extra coach needed.
Mail over this route has always
been too heavy for only a tri
weekly Bervice, the mail matter
carried between here and Paulina,
Burns Buys More
So well pleased are the people
of Burns with Prineville flour that
they have supplemented their orig
inal order of 100,000 pounds of the
staple, made and hauled to Harney
county during August, with an ad
ditional order of bU,UUO pounds to
be freighted over in October. As
the Burns papers stated last
month, this flour is bought to sup
ply a deficiency caused not by a
complete crop failure, as was at
first stated, but largely on account
of the great influx of new settlers
into the country to the eastward of
Crook county and the insufficient
wheat acreage in Harney county to

the eastern terminus, sometimes
weighing 600 or 700 pounds at one
handling, though usually not quite
that much. Beyond Paulina to
Burns the service will remain un
changed and will continue to be
tri-weekly.
Patrons of this mail route have
long clamored for a better service,
and the postal authorities finally
have supplied the deficiency.
Ranchers and stockmen living
along the three score miles will be
greatly benefited by the daily de
livery of letters and parcels.
Prineville Flour
supply their needs thi3 fall and
winter.
Notwithstanding the fact that
Harney county farmers intend to
raise enough wheat for home con
sumption next year, the big boost
given Prineville flour by its intro
duction into the homes of the peo
ple around Burns will long cause
it to be used in that section of the
state, thus opening up a new and
largely permanent market for the
products of the local mill and caus
ing here a greater proportionate
demand for wheat raised in Crook
county. It makes good business
for everybody.
