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 shclfworn remnants but we
need the room they fill, and can show you many better values than you can get elsewhere

Chamberlain
Elected Senator
" George E. Chamberlain was
elected U. S. Senator from Oregon
on the first ballot in the legislature
at Salem last Tuesday. The de
tails of the vote have not been re
ceived in Prineville at the time we
go to press.
After all the great to-do about
the Statement One members break
ing their pledges the opposition to
Chamberlain's election proved
powerless when the test came, and
the result is only in comformity
with what reasonable men might
expect. It would doubtless pleafe
lots of us republicans better to
have a republican senator, but it
might also make us wonder if we
wanted to claim membership in a
party represented by men who
lightly held their ante-election
pledges and refused to come
through in voting for the popular
choice for senator. There are
things that would hurt Oregon
more than to elect Chamberlain
senator, although it's a hard dose
for a republican state.
School Children
Number 2160
According to the school census
for Crook county taken November
25, 190S, there are 2034 children
of school age, with the enumera
tion from two districts missing.
These two districts have a com
bined enumeration of about 7G,
which added to 2084, makes the
total close to 2160.
The total school enumeration
for this county in 1907 was 20S9,
the increase this year showing at
least a healthy growth. County

Trail Followed by
Captain Fremont
Kirk Whited was over from Red

ville he paid the Journal office a
visit in the hope of awakening an
interest in old historic landmarks
of Crook county. Mr. Whited is
in possession of information in re
gard to portions of the so-called
''Fremont Trail," the route fol
lowed by Capt. J. C. Fremont in
the winter of 1843-4 when going
from The Dalles to the California
frontier. Mr. Whitcd thinks that

the
Oregon Geographic Board. Prof
Joseph Schafer of the University
of Oregon, secretary of the board,
writes as follows:
"As one of those who are inter
ested in everything pertaining to
the early history of the Pacific
Northwest, I am very glad to know
your views on that subject. It
seems to me that the marking of
the Fremont trail would be some
thing worth doing, especially if in
the doing of it a large number of
the people of Eastern Oregon could
be induced to participate. May I
ask if you have considered the
feasibility of organizing one or
several local historical societies for
the purpose of getting the work
under way collecting daU from
the oldest pioneers, etc., or could
not the pioneer societies of -the
counties through which the trail
passes take the matter in hand?
If there is anything in which 1 can
be of service to you. or to the jeo
pie of your section of the state, in
furthering the object you have in
mind, please command me. Very
truly yours, Joseph Schakkk,
University of Oregon.
Mr. Whited suggests that inter
ested persons that would like to
aid in the work should write him
at Redmond. He would be glad to
hear from all such at any time.

The Lamb Feed Co. will soon be
handling a full line of field, farm,
grass and clover seeds, and garden
seeds probably also. They have a
shipment of nearly two tons now
on the way and will aim to carry a
complete line. The trade in feed
has been better than was expected
and the same will probably be true
of seeds.

Ten Days Hard
Winter Weather
Winter' worst week, or ten days
of bad weather, extending from the
5th to the 15th of this January, is
now a thing of the past and while
the snow was neither so deep as
once or twice in former years nor
nor

uuu J I 1 I II iiiv UIil' iniidviiniiii
agrees that the winter of I'.KW will I
go down into history as the second
most severe period of weather in
the aunals of ceutral Oregon.
There was more snow in 1870,
some three or four feet on the level
as compared with 22 inches this
time, and it has been colder, down
around 30 and 40 several times at
rare intervals, hut excepting only
tho fearful '"double wintet" of
January, 1 8S., 21 years ago, noth
ing approaching the severity of the
l.Ue cold snap has ever before been
experienced here.
What made the ten-day period
this January so hard to hear was
the coming of the snow and the
extreme cold, 2'J below in Prine
ville, at the same time. Had the
snow come with the temperature
above zvro, or had the mercury
dropped into the bulb without any
snow, the weather would have
been bearable. As it was, nine out
of every ten persons suffered, and
the tenth person was a thousand
miles away.

Gentle showers of rain in the
lower a'titude., with occasional
(lurries of snow in th.d higher

alternated during the pat-t week
with bright sunshine and warm
south and west winds.
