JUNIOR DRAMA
MAKES A HIT
High School Class Puts
on Good Play
SURPRISED PRINEVILLE PEOPLE
Gave the Best Entertainment of
of the Year Cleaned Up
High School Ground.
The Junior claw of the Crook
County High School Bunirlned n all
with the excellence of their enter
tainment hint Friday evening and
furthermore they put on the bet
little drama that ha been preented
to the I'rlnevllle public in many a
day. It seemed that every character
In the play wa exactly milted to the
one who performed It, the Htage set
ting were admirably rorked out,
and everything moved with a certain
poxltlvene that made the whole
performance enjoyable. .
The Btory of the play waa of one
Ephralm MoeUer, who owned a
runcu on the outskirts of Denver
and suddenly made a heap of money
by the disposal of the property In
town lots. He had a wife and a
daughter, and after hi accession to
prosperity he conceived the ambition
of making a match in high society
for his daughter. Trot J. F. Blanch
ard was this father In the play, his
wife was Miss Louise Summers nnd
the daughter was Miss Emerlene
Young. Meanwhile the daughter
had formed an attachment for a
young miner, Dallas Aldrieh, repre
sented by Wllford Belknap and was
engaged to marry him. Aldrieh had
not much to offer In the way of
worldly good or family, and the
father opposed the marriage after he
became wealthy.
The family went east and tried to
break into high society and match
the daughter to some bon-tou.
There they met a family named Ken-
drlcks, father and daughter, which
parts were taken by Roy Lowther
and Miss Agnes Elliott. The futher
was sorely a (11 lc ted with nervous
ness, and the daughter was an up-to-date
club woman, who had no
use for men. She had a suiter, Her
bert Singler, the part being taken by
Clark Morse. In this family there
wus a servant, Jane, this character
being taken by Miss Ethel Moore,
"hexactly". Herbert Singier was
pressing his suit for the hand of
Marlon Kendricks, and .on the ar
rival of the Mosher family, discover
ed that the Denver heiress still loved
Dallas Aldrieh, who turned out to
be his cousin, nnd one of the first
families, having gone West on ac
count of a misunderstanding with
his parents. Singier worked the
Jealousy game on his sweetheart by
paying devoted attention to Miss
Mosher and In the meantime sent for
his cousin In the west,
Dallas Aldrieh had struck it rich in
the "Blooming Daisy" and of course
when the father found out that Al
drich was rich and of the test family
in tne country, ne lounu no excise
for opposing his daughter's mar
riage and everything turned out
lovely.
Betweeu the acts Randolph
Ketchum'snng a solo, Miss Lelia
Garfield gave a reading and Miss Con
way, sang a solo.
: Morgan's orchestra furnished
music, and the house was well filled
with an audience that enjoyed
every moment of the performance!
The piece was put on under the
direction of Miss Rose B. Tarrott, of
the high school, assisted by A. B.
Roller, and everyone who had a
hand In the presentation of the play
is to be congratulated ou the success
of it. The receipts for
were about $00.
the evening
The Journal has been requested to
express a vote of thanks from the
Junior class aud the high school, to
the Prineville band and to Morgan's
orchestra for their gratuitous ser
vices. Friday was "Junior Day" at the
high school. During the morning
hours the school grounds were
cleared and leveled and cleaned up as
neat as a pin. In the afternoou'the
boys had athletic sports and the
girls played tenuis and served re
freshments to all the pupils. The
black and-gold flag, of the class of
1910 floated from the masthead all
day ou the high school building.

One week from next Sunday the Red
mond team will come to Prineville for a
return game.
The prospects are that there will be
some good game in Prineville during
the May race meeting, a purse of $100
being bung np by the association. Red
mond, Bend and probably Lamonta and
Madras will have teams here for the
tournament.
W. F.King Has
Forwarding House
W. F. King spent a portion of last
week at Shaniko looking after business
in connection with his forwarding house
at that place. Mr. King ha had this
branch in operation for over a year al
though the fact has not been generally
known for the reason that he has not
handled much freight outsiJe of his
own. Being nnable to get a satisfactory
service at Shaniko, Mr. King secured a
warehouse there and put a man and
team at work. During the past year
this plan has cost him a little more than
the forwarding of his wares through the
public freight houses did, but be has
had the catisfaction of serving hia trade
without the annoyance of costly errors
being made in forwarding mismatched
parts to machines and implements.
While Mr. King does not intend to
make a business on a large ecale of for
warding for merchants, he would be
glad to handle any small shipment for
his customers, if they desire him to do
so. Any goods shipped to Shaniko in
care of W. F. King will be promptly
handled, and Mr. King' favorably
known business methods will doubtless
be a sufficient guarantee to bring him
all of this kind of business that he
wants. Small shippers will find that
they can get a much more prompt for
warding service in this way.
Farmers Granted
Trackage at Shaniko
At a meeting held in Shaniko last
week Mr. Campbell, representing the
O. R. A N. Company, granted trackage
to representative armers from the Mad
ras and Bakeoven sections, with the
end in view of assisting the farmers in
shipping their wheat crops after the
coming harvest.
The farmer present were delegates
sent by the Farmers' Co-operative as
sociations from Madras and Bakeoven
Last year the farmers hauling grain to
Shaniko did not receive satisfactory
commodation, many hauling to Kent, a
station several miles north of Shaniko
on the Columbia Southern, and by so
doing were able to save thousands of
dollars.
The plan now nnder consideration in
cludes the operation of a warehouse by
the farmers associations at Shaniko,
and another meeting is to be held be
tween their representatives and repre
sentatives of the railroad company to
make final arrangements on May 15.

SUIT TO ANNUL
REFERENDUM
Taxpayers Want Peti
tion Set Aside.
DON'T WANT SPECIAL ELECTION
Claim That "Near Beer" Refer.
endum Waa Not Brought in
in Legal Form.
II. P. Belknap, J. W. Horigan, Gard
ner Perry, J. D. Still and Ray V. Con
stable are named a the plaintiff in a
suit filled in the circuit court by their
attorney, W. A. Bell, against the City of
Prineville, praying for a decree of the
court restraining the Citr of Prineville
from referring the "near beer" ordi
nance to a city election to be held on
December 15 next, and asking that the
referendum petition filed by Attorney
George Bernier, on behalf of the pe
titioners, be declared null and without
effect.
The complaint seta forth that on
March 30th, 1909, one George Bernier
presented to one C. L. Shattnck, then
recorder, a pretended referendum pe
tition endeavoring and attempting by
said petition to refer the ordinance to
the voters of the city at an election to
be held in Prineville on the 15th day of
December, 1909. That the attempted
and pretended referendum petition is
unlawful, illegal and void in the follow
ing particular :
That there is no election in or for said
City of Prineville on Dec. 15, 1909, or
other date except Dec. 20, 1909.
That the petition is written with a
typewriter, pen and ink ; that no por
tion of it is printed.
That the fetition so presented is upon
sheets of paper some 8 and inchea in
width by 13 inches in length, and the
sheets upon which the signatures of the
signers appear are inches in width
by 15 in length, and that none of the
sheet of paper in the petition are 7
inches in width by 10 inches in length.
That the referendum petition con
sists of two seta of petitioner with only
one full and correct copy of the measure
on which the referendum is demanded.
That the referendum petition so pre
sented consists of six sheets of paper four
of which are 8 inches in width by 13L
inches in length and two of which are
8)f inches in width and 15 inches inches
length in a cover securely fastened
together at the top margin with an ad
hesive paste of glue; that on both
sheets on which signatures appear is at
tached thereto by glue a slip of parer.
That said referendum petition was
presented to C. L. Shattuck as recorder,
personally and alone by said G. L. Ber
nier; that the same was not presented
in the presence of said C. L. Shattuck
as recorder, and D. F. Stewart as mayor
of the said defendant city.
ThatC. L. Shattuck, as recorder for '
the city, acted without authority of law
or right in the premises of receiving and
filing the petition. "
That the defendants, the officers of
the city, and each of them, refuse and
neglect to prosecute any violations nn
der the said ordinance, claiming with
out right that the ordinance is suspend
ed by reason of the said pretended refer
endum petition.
That the defendants threaten to and
will, if not restrained, refer said law as
called for by the referendum petition, to
the legal voters of the city at an election
to be called Dec. 15, 1909, and by so do
ing wi'.l cause expense and liabilities to
be incurred and created by reason there
of, such as printing ballots, printing
and binding referendum petition, and
printing and circulating arguments and
pamphlets thereof, thereby injuriously
and irreparably affecting plaintiff pe
cuniary rights as taxpayers, for which
injury, if permitted, plaintiff have no
plain, speedy or adequate remedy at
law.
Wherefore the plaintiffs pray for a
decree forever barring and restraining
the city and its officers from calling .or
holding an election on the referendum
petition.
