Crook county hal such s thorough
honse-clesning at the hands of the grand
jury laat Mar that there is nothing do
ing this fall in the criminal wiy. The
many indictments snd convictions re
sulting last spring has put s qoake in
the hearts of the lawbreakers and this
trm there were oniy three true bills re-
turned by the grand jury. Two of theie
are still in the hands of the offloers , snd
will not .be made public until tbe of
fenders have been apprehended. Tbe
other one was that of Victor H. Traylor
for the larceny of a horse from Herbert
Biduout. Traylor pleaded guilty and
was given sn indeterminate sentence of
from one to ten years In.tlie pen.
The grand Jury failed to indict Fred
Miller on a charg? of the larceny of 45
from Lawrence Hunt at Lower Bridge.
He was baled before tbe conrt yester
day morning snd discharged snd the
nioix y which was found on his person
at the time he was arrested was ordered
returned to him.
Two old indictments, one against J.
II. Tcmpleton and one againet D. U.
Garrett were dismissed on motion of the
district attorney.
The grand jury finished its work in
two days, made report Tuesday evening
and was discharged. Its report follows

Repwt af Cni Jury.
In tbe Circuit Court of the State of
Oregon for the County of Crook.
Prineville, Crook Co. Ore.
Oct. 19, 1909.
To Hon. W. L. Bradehaw, Judge:
We, the grand jsry empanelled at the
October, 1909, term of said court, beg
leave to report ts follows :
We have been in session two days and
have examined every complaint of every
kind in any way brought to our atten
tion and have returned three true bille
and one not a true bill.
We have carefully examinel all pub
lic property and find that the furniture
purchased up to tins time lor tue new
courthouse has been of standard quality
and approved the kind and quality of
the same. We recommend that when
ever the county finances permit and
whenever it becomes imperative that
additional furnishings be purchased
that the same be of the same grade as
that now installed, but we further
recommend and advise that such ad
ditional furniture be not " purchased
until such time as there be a necessary
use for the same and that the county
finances are in condition to justify such
additional expenditure.
We have, as far as was in our power
and ability, examined the offices of tbe
county sheriff, clerk, treaf urer . and
school superintendent and find that in
each of such offices the books and
records are neatly and systematically
kept and the records of the same ap
parently in good condition. Not being
expert bookkeepers and having but a
limited time at our disposal we were un
able to check off the books of any of the
county officers, so do not pass upon
their correction, but approve of the
systems of keeping the books and
records adopted in said offices.
We have also examined the present
ownership books now being prepared in
the office of the county surveyor and ap
prove of the plan in connection there
with and recommend that such present
ownership books be continued and kept
up-to-date as we believe they are of
great value to the county.
Having completed our labors we re
spectfully ask to be discharged.

$300 in favor of plaintiff, this sum ap
pearing to be due for wages.
The jurors were all discharged early

SPLENDID DISPLAY LIVES0CK !i
AND AGRICULTURAL PRODUCTS
Educational Exhibit Is Best Ever Attempted
in Central Oregon. y Av I;
BIG CROWDS ATTEND FAIR EACH DAY
Special Features of Entertainment Furnish Diversion for Sight
Seer All Sections of the County Well Represented -
Weather Does Not Interfere Materially. ;
Crook county's fifth annual fnlr
opened last Tuesday at the grounds
near PrineTllle with a good attend
ance. All of the morning was occu
pied In the arranging of exhibits
and In tbe afternoon the formal
opening took place, State 8upt. of
Instruction J. H. Ackerman making
an appropriate address on the oc
casion. The pavilion exhibits, livestock
nnd racing features thla year are
fullytip to the standard of any former
exhibitions, and In many Instances
far excel those of former years.
This Is notably true In regard to
the educational exhibits from the
different schools In the county. The
Crook County High School's display
Is one of the handsomest of Its kind,
and reflect much credit on the
pupils of that school and upon the
teachers who have directed the effort.
The same can be truly said of tbe
displays prepared by the Bend, Prine
ville public, Kedmond, Mill Creek,
Bear Creek and other districts.
The displays of regetables this
year are far ahead of anything seen
heretofore at the county fairs. The
fanners are learning the how and
why in the growing of prize winning
potatoes, beets, corn, beans, etc.,
and the exhibits In the pavilion
prove conclusively that this Bection
is a premier producer of these pro
ducts and able to match with any of
tbe most favored sections of the
country.
Grains, grosses, alfalfa and other
forage crops are well represented,
not only in Individual displays but
also In the precinct exhibits.
Tillman Reuter ot Madras, has an
exhibit of agricultural products of
which any farmer might well be
proud. While he has not quite as
many different varieties as Heinz's
"57," he runs him a close second
with about 50 specimens, grown on
his dry land farm without Irrigation
southeast of Madrts. . .
The irrigated district about Red
mond and Powell Buttes Is also well
represented, and one viewing these
products can not but wonder what
will be the developments in the Des.
chutes alley within a tew years
along these lines when the world's
markets will open to us and demand
our products on account of their
superior color.shape, size and flavor.
Wm. Boegll of the Cove orchard,
has an apple display in the pavilion
that would make the Hood Elver
and Rogue River valley orchardlsts
sit up and take notice. Other fruits,
too, are well represented in Mr,
Boegli's exhibit, as well as that from
the Campbell orchard near Madras
and that of Mill Creek precinct.
The space allotted to fancy work,
art and cookery are well filled.
Among the most attractive special
exhibits is that of E. H. Smith, the
pioneer saddler, who is showing a
splendid lot of goods in his line. Dr.
J. Shore, eye specialist, has a con
cession in the pavilion and an ex
hibit of sight correcting paraphernalia.
Owing to the fact that but few of
the exhibits are placarded Its a
hard game for anyone to make a
comprehensive mention of the ex
hibits m the avestocK aivision. uu
this account we will not attempt to
Have Your Eyes Tested.
Dr. J. Shore of Portland, tho Eye
sight Specialist and Refrnctiouist,
registered under the state laws of
Oregon, Washington, New York and
Virginia, will be- all week iu the
Pavillou at the fair " grounds. Will
remain at Hotel Prineville Monday
and Tuesday: but will leave Wednes
day noon. He will Introduce the
famous Crystal Tebble Lenses. Bring
your old glasses lor comparison.
All children suffering with weak eyes
must bo accompanied by their
parents.
Charles Bernard of Tho Dalles
passed through Frineville Monday
on his way home from his place on
lieaver creek. Mr. Uernard runs
sheep in southeastern Crook and re-
ports the outlook for this winter as
not very favorable. More rain is
needed out there he says.
tell what each Individual owner has
to show.. Go to the fair and soe
for yourself. All the different breeds
of horses are well represented. The
Judging of the horse division was In
progress yesterday, but rather than
make special mention of the few
awards that have been made, we
will publish the list of prize winners
In full as soon as the association
baa cast up accounts and made final
reports. ,
The Bonny view Farm of J. II.
Gray & Son has its herd of thorough
bred Hereford cattle on exhibition.
Besides the Herefords they are also
showing Poland China hogs. -
M. R. Biggs has bis shorthorns in
this year. .. . '
T. H. Lafollette has a pen of Po
land China bogs. ,
C. M. Elklns Is showing Hampshire
Bheep and Poland China hogs. , , .
G. Springer is here with some of
his prize winning Belgians, and
other breeds of horses. George Pod-
son, Jesse Wlndom, Haystack Live
stock Company, S. A. Prose, J. H.
Gray, , John Scbmeer, ; and many
other prominent stoekralsers of the
county all have some of their finest
animals at the show. ,
Jimmy Cram, Jr., has a fine exhibit
ot Rhode Island Red chickens In the
poultry division, In connection wltn
the Industrial exhibit of the schools.
There are many other show birds
there, but for the want of labels, It
is impossible to locate the owners
and learn . who la making the ex
hibits. Mr. George Gam rule of Portland,
is acting as judge In the award of
prizes oq livestock. .
The Bend band la furnishing music
during the fair. They arrived Mon
day afternoon and on account of the
fact that many of the members were
unable to leave their business for the
week they are "being assisted by
some of the Prineville players. Prof.
E. C. Throne Is the director and he
and his boys are rendering very
good music. . : .
All la all the fair this year is a de-.
cided success. While the unpleasant
weather has made It somewhat less
comfortable to visitors than would
have been desired, this does not seem
to be detering many from attending
and the crowds are seeing the sights
and enjoying themselves to the full
est extent. The town Is overflowing
with visitors, the hotels are crowd
ed and every available room In
private houses is being pressed Into
service to accommodate all who are
here. .- . :.
Selling Lots of Pianos. '
Frank Bell, representing the Hov-enden-Soule
Piano Company of Port
land, haa been in Prineville for the
past ten days, making his head
quarters at W. Frank Petett's jew
elry store, where he has Instruments
on exhibition. Mr. Bell has sold to
Mrs. E. II. Smith one of the mechan
ical player Instruments, one of stand
ard kind to Joe Wagone, and an
other to F. E. Broslus of the Em
porium Theatre. Two more mechan
ical players will be shipped In tho
latter part of the week and anyone
Interested in pianos is invited to call
and Inspect these Instruments. .
