Attorney General Craw
ford Gives Opinion
D. P. Adamson, who returned
from a trip to Portland and The
Dalles several days ago, rays that
railroad talk is rifu on every hand
in the towns and cities nearer Port
land, and even in Portland itself.
He, with other, is confident that
another year will see the steel arms
of the Harriman line puching this
way, and be believes tiiat con
struction work will begin very
shortly, probably by January at
the latest.
'Everywhere I went, especially
at The Dalles," said Mr. Adamson
to a Jouanal reporter, "I heard
little else but railroad talk, and it
would appear as if nothing can now
stop the speedy building of a rail
road into interior Oregon.
"People below are taking the
whole matter for granted now, and
Portland wholesalers are already
figuring on better and closer busi
ness relations with this section."
LOCAL OPTION LAW PROHIBITS
Stock Will Have to Be Trans

for Disposal
In compliance with advices re
ceived Sunday from District Attor
ney Fred W. Wilson at The Dalles,
Frank Elkins and Depuly Sheriff
John Combs did not offer for sale
Tuesday the attached atock of liq
uors belonging to A. B. Estebenet
of Bend. The decision not to sell,
and thus retain the local option
law inviolate, came from Attorney
General Crawford at Salem, the
matter having been referred to him
hv Dinlrict Attorney Wilson.

the custody of the sheriff in Prine-
ville, and the sheriff's office has
now put the matter op to Van
Hcbuy ver & Co., of Portland, who
attached Estebenet's stock for debt
under foreclosure proceedings.
Although the Portland house has
not yet been heard from, it is pre
sumed tbsy will order the liquors
sent out cf Crook county to some
non-prohibition city, like The
Dalle, Bhaniko or Portland, pro
vided Estebenet is willing, and it is
understoodthat his counsel will
interpose no objection.
Although Attorney General
Crawford did not render a separate
decision in this case, wherein the
circuit court has commanded the
sheriff's office to sell the liquors to
satisfy the plaintiff in the case, yet
a former decision which he has
rendered in a very similar case at
Ontario, Malheur county, was re
erred to and invoked as covering
the Crook county case.
The attorney general, in a letter
to the district attorney, enclosed a
copy of the decision he made for
Malheur county, this decision bar
ing been mailed Sept. 20, 1908 to
J. W. McCulloch, district attorney
at Ontario. Excerpts from this
Malheur decision are as follows:
"Yours of recent date, requesting
opinion upon the question as to
whether a trustee in bankruptcy,
having in bis hands a considerable
quantity of liquor, consisting of a
saloon outfit, etc., belonging to the
estate, can sell the same under or
der of the court, the county having
voted prohibition, and in answer
thereto permit me to say that I
have been unable to find any de
cision squarely upon that question
However, I am of the opinion the
trustee should not sell. Also, that
on foreclosure of mortgage, the liq
uor cannot be sold at execution
sale, or, in fact, sold at all after the
date prohibition becomes effective.
"Our prohibition law, found at
page 41, laws of 1905, provides in
section 1 that the vote may be
taken 'to determine whether the
sale of intoxicating liquors shall be
prohibited in such county, or sub
division of such county, or in such
precinct.' You will notice that it
says 'prohibited' and there is no
reservation made in the act per
mitting judicial sales, or any other
sales, but all sales are prohibited."

Convention Held Wednesday Night at the M.
E Church Property Owners' Ticket
For Mayor D. F. Stewart.
For Conncilmen Jons B. Smrp,
jSfE Yaxcey, Wardwell Cram.
For Recorder C. L. Shatttck.
For Treasurer J. W. Boone.
For Marshal Wade Huston.
Such is the ticket placed in nom
mation Tuesday night for the citj
election of December 21 by the
Property Owners and Business
Men's party. No better qualified
set of men could be found to con
duct the affairs of the city of
Prineville next year than these
citizens.
City affairs have now reached
such a condition, due largely to
the recently enacted local option
aw, that it will require for 1909 a
municipal administration fully
alive to the needs of the city, its
people and its obligations.
The convention, unlike the usual
obbying political caucus, was
called together informally at the
Methodist Episcopal church Tues
day evening, with good attendance.
Such men as V. F. King, John B,
Shipp, Ray V. Constable, Gardner
Perry, L. C. Perry, J. W. Horigan,
Guy Lafollett, Jesse Yancey, D. F,
Stewart. D. P. Adamson, Wade
Huston, C. I. Winnek, Dr. II. P.
Belknap, etc., were in attendance,
and everybody there took an active
part. The ministry and the pres3
were also represented.
The method pursued in making
tne nominations was to place on a
blackboard the names of several
men well qualified for each posi
tion, after which procedure fur

the nominations then closed and
the nominee was selected by ballot.
As evidence that thia is so, a
summary of the several ballots
taken will be of general public
interest. For mayor, Mr. Stewart
received 10 votes and Mr. Shipp 4.
M. R. Elliott's name was suggested
but when it became known that he
could not serve his name was with
drawn.
For councilmen John B. Shipp
received 11 votes, C. I. Winnek 7,
Dr. Edwards 4, W. F. King 9, Jesse
Yancey 7 and Wardwell Cram 4 on
the first ballott; then, in deciding
the tie vole of Winnek and Yancey
the latter was nominated by a vote
of 8 to 6. Mr. King, who was not
present when the first vote was
taken, later withdrew bis name be
cause of too great press of business,
and the north side was represented
on the ticket by substitution of the
name of Mr. Cram, the first ballot
on the substitution being Dr. Ed
wards 8, Cram 8; the last vote re
sulting Cram 10, Edwards 5.
For recorder it seemed difficult
to get the right man. Eventually
C. L. Shattuck agreed to accept the
nomination. -
For treasurer several names were
balloted upon. W. A. Booth got 6,
Frank Foster 6, J. L. McCullock 3.
The second ballot resulted in the
selection of Mr. Booth. As this
gentleman was not present at the
meeting when notified of the selec
tion withdrew. The name of J. W.
Boone was placed upon the ticket.
The nomination of Wade Huston
for marshal was unanimous.
HEISLER STATION DESTROYED BY FIRE
House and Contents at Well Known Stopping Place on Shaniko
Road Burned Last Sunday Forenoon
At the meeting held at the home
of MisB Maiprie Brink last week,
twelve ladies of Prineville organized
a culture club for the purpose of
reading and discussing standard
books. Officers were elected as
follows:
Miss Rose B. Parrott, president.
Miss Marjone isnnK, vice-presi
dent.
Mrs. Ada B. Millican, secretary.
Miss Catharine Conway, treas.
The author chosen for the first
study is George Elliott. The only
requirement made of members is
that each furnish one book of the
author named. The plan is for
each member to read a book and at
the weekly meetings, which will be
held Saturday afternoons, submit
a geneaal review of the book she
has read. The next one reading
the book prepares a paper on the
leading characters and each men
ber subsequently reading the vol
ume is to bring out some other
feature until the subject is exhaust
ed. The plan is to make this
little club, which has not yet been
christened with an official name, a
pleasant social factor as well. The
membership is limited to twelve
charter members.
Fire at 10 o,clock Sunday morn
ing completely destroyed the stage
station at Heisler, and even burned
the adjacent windmill so badly
that an entirely new tower will
have to be erected. Richard F.
Nicholas and family, who had
charge of the station, were rendered
homeless and had to seek shelter
at the home of Willis W. Brown,
on whose property the station stood.
The loss falls on three parties.
Nicholas lost household furniture
and effects, everything he had; the
stage company lost twelve beds,
ranges and stoves, dishes and the
total equipment of the station:
Veazie & Brown, who owned the
building, sustained a total loss on
the dwelling. None of the three

parties carried any insurance so
far as known. J. H. Reams, who
operates the stage line, computes
his loss at $300.
The fire started from an over
heated stove in the second Btory.
When the flames were discovered
the entire top of the building was
ablaze, and notwithstanding the
fact that a number of men were
present hardly anything was saved,
the house burning like tinder. A
single wagon box would hold all
that was carried out, some of the
persons inside even losing their
wearing apparel.
For the prepent there will be no
stage station at Heisler, but the
stage company will put up a tent
for its own needs.
HIGH SCHOOL DEBATING TEAM CHOSEN
Frank LaFollette, Leader; David Ptckett and Wilford Belknap;
Ethel Moore, Alternate These Were Chosen at Tryout.
Friday afternoon the tryout de
bate for places on the inter
scholastic and inter-society teams
was held in the assembly room of
the Crook County High School.

Dunsmore and Mr. Ashby, selected

Inter-scholastic Frank Lafol
lett, leader; David Pickett and
Wilford Belknap; Ethel Moore,
alternate.
Ochoconian society Wilford
Belknap, leader; Irene Barnes and
Agnes Elliott; Emerien Young, al
ternate.
Alpha eoc'e'.y Frank Lafollett,

Cram; Louise Summers, alternate.
1 he question proposed by Shei
man county for the debate with
the Crook County High is: Re
solved, "That the federal govern
ment establish a parcels post in
connection with the postal system."
The time for holding the several
contests has not been decided as
yet, but it is very probable that
the debate with Sherman county
will be sometime late in December
or early in January.
ROLL OF HONOR OF CITY PUBLIC SH00LS
Names of Pupils Neither Absent Nor Tardy During the Past
Two Months of School Good Showing Made.
Pupils in the Prineville graded
classes may well be proud of the
records they have made in the past
two months for promptness and
attendance. Fully 55 per cent of
the pupils have neither been tardy
nor absent since school opened in
September.
All things considered, this is
exceptionally good, though theor
etically no pupil should have been
