Making Room for New Spring Goods
We are going over our stock making inventory and find that it will be necessary for us to
reduce several lines to make room for new spring goods now on the road. 1 oward this
end we are offering these goods at reduced prices and when we lower our regular price
the careful buyers know that it means
ROCK BOTTOM PRICES for DEPENDABLE GOODS
These reductions are all on new, clean, bright goods not shclfwom remnants but we
need the room they fill, and can show you many better values than you can get elsewhere
Twenty-Nine Below
At Prineville
Gee, but its cold! It certainly
has been. The oldest inhabitant
has been knocked clear out of the
box by the record of the past week.
Twenty six and twenty nine
below lero is enough to send the
shivers down one's spinal column.
Yet there is some comfort in read
'ing about the 40 below in Montana
and the exceedingly low tempera
ture prevailing throughout the en
tire eastern states.
With the enow storm and
exceeding cold weather came mani
fold troubles to the stage man. Of
the stage lines running into Prine
ville there have been numerous
difficulties to overcome. Breaking
roads and keeping them open has
been a herculean task.
The Shaniko stage made fairly
good time until Friday when it
arrived at 8:45 p. m. the delay
being partly due to the late
arrival of the train at Shaniko the
previous night. The snow on
Shaniko flat has mantained a
depth of almost two feet and at some
places the drifts have always been
almost twice that depth. The
snow on the flat drifts more or less
each day and every stage over the
road has to break a new road for
a few miles at least. Since Friday
of last week the average time of
arrival of the Shaniko mail has
been 6. p. m. or about eighteen
hours from Shaniko.
From this place to Bend and
from Bend to Rosland has been
the cause of the greatest amount
of worry for the stage men. Dur
ing the storm the usual stage team
was not able to break a road faster
than about two miles per hour,
and several times twelve or more
hours was required to go from here
to Bend.
The Rosland stage missed
connection with the out going mail
several times during the week and
five men and rigs were put on the
road doing the work formerly done
by three. The storm was at its

highest on Monday.the driver from
Silver Lake to Rosland being more
than two da vs and nights behind
schedule.
Every precaution is taken by
the stage company to protect its
drivers and so far but few "frost
bites" have been reported. The
driver arriving from Shaniko San
day night received the most
severe chilling. He had both
hands and feet and hia ears frosted.
Each driver is provided with a
heavy set of robes, and a foot
warmer and sometimes two which
are kept warm all night They
dress iu the best and warmest
clothes obtainable and it is only
by this means that dangerous
freezing is prevented.
The cold is not so hard to cope
with, however, as the mud will be
when the snow melts and everyone
connected with the service is look
ing forward with dread to the
thaw which is sure to come.
The train service into Shan ko
has been very poor for the past
week and but little eastern mail
has been delivered to the stages
for the past eight days.
Tax Levy for 1909.
The county court at its January
term has made the following tax
levy for the year 1909 on the 1908
roll: mills
County and State 9 20
General School 3 00
Road Fund (exclusive of
Prineville) 2.00
High School (exclusive of
School Dist. No. 12) 1.25
Library Fund 0C5
Total tax levy, all purposes. 151
The tax levy was increased a
little this year because of the in
crease in the state tax and for the
further reason that it is question
able whether the I). I. & P. Co. are
obliged to pay taxes on $369,000,
the assessed valuation of their
ditches and canals. The supreme
court will have to pass on the
matter before it can be collected.
Our portion of the state tax allowed
We are now doing business in our
new quarters where we will be
pleased to meet all new as well as
old customers. Thanking you for
past favors and hop'ng to merit
a continuance of the same, we re
main, respectfully,
to the several counties is $H.5?5.
The state must raise for its expenses
during 1909 the sum of l,6S0,M2..
35, of which amount $105,090 will
be derived from indirect sources,
leaving 1275,000 to be raised by
the different counties in accordance
with the fixed rales of proportion
provided by law.
Everyone Must Help
Destroy Bad Weeds
There is a matter which the
county court wishes brought to the
attention of the land owners of
Crook conntv and that is the sub
ject of noxious weeds. The court
is doing and has done all in its
power to stay the destruction of the
pests but without the active
co-operation of all landowners and
citizens generally but little can be
done to eradicate the nuisance. It
is the thocght of the court that if
everybody will help the county
can be cleared of noxious weeds in
a few years but without this help
nothing can stop the onward march
of the destructive plant'. Besidss
the court objects to pacing out
hundreds of dollars every year in
its effort to stay the weeds when
property owners take so little
interest in the matter. It is tiue
there is a remedy at law but this
method is slow and cumbersome
when called into play. The county
court feels that it is entitled to the
co-operation of every citizen who
has the welfare of the county at
heart.
