WANTS TO BE COUNTY SEAT Prineville and Bend Left Out the Cold Now Rome Will Howl in A special dispatch from Salem to the Oregonian, dated June 20, says that the lateft initiative peti tion presented for signature in this city is one for the creation of Des (hutes County, out of the noth west quarter of Crook County, with Redmond as the county seat. The proposed county contains 2800 square miles and has a pop ulation of about 1300 people. It includes the towns of Redmond, Laidlaw, Madras, O'N'eil, Crofg K-y, Lamonla and Culver, but does not take in either Prineville or Bend. Its dividing line lies be tween ranges 14 and 15, east of the Willamette meridian, and its south boundary lines between lownsnip to ana ii, soutn. it is certain that the proposed county will meet with bitter opposition not only from Prineville, but also from Bend. The east boundary line of the proposed county passes within six miles of Prineville and embraces some of the richest land in the Crooked river valley, while the couth line passes within five miles of Bend, and takes in many of the irrigated farms under the ditches of the Columbia Southern and Deschutes Irrigation & Power Company. Other proposed counties are Clark, Otis. Orchard, Umpqua, Ne;mith and Williams. Prineville Masons Honored at Portland T. M.

Sixteen lots, aggrcKatlng 700,000 pounds of wool, were sold here today at prices muc in from 13 1-4 cents to IT cents.

Sixteen buyers took part In the day's business. The sale will continue through to morrow. J. ii. Edwards refused 16 cents for his clip ot about 240,000 pounds. Other large owners are holding off until the July sale. About 2,230,000 pounds are In the Moody warehouses here, with 40,000 pounds at the first sale today.

The oath ; was given hy Junice Eakin, of the ', Supremo Court. The elevation of the senate's preyiileut (o the head of the state government was ac complished without ceiemony. A few friends from the city and at taches of the different offices greeted the new governor, who pro ceeded with the business of tlie of fice within a few minutes cf his arrival. His first official act was to affix his signature to the nolarinl con mission of M. K. Fowler of I'or! land. Afur signing a number of paper that were awaiting bis at tention, meeting ol the iloie t land board was called. In the evening, a meeting of the Stale Lind Hoard was held. . While it was the general opinion of attorneys that the oath of office was unnecessary, the Attorney General advised the formality to remove any question that might arise later. Jay Bowerman is the first gov ernor to reach that position in this state by virtue of his position as .resident of the senate. He is 33 years of age and was born in Iowa. His mother lives in this city. After cleaning up a number of routine matters that have accumu lated, Acting (iovernor ltjwerman will go next week to Extern Ore gon, to attend a seseion of court where he has some cases vet fur trial. . Discussing his probable policy in regard to public matters, Acting Governor llowerman said tonight "I did not come down here to start something. I ehnll not fire all the appointive oflicers and p.tr don all the convicts, la the main I think it may be said that I will carry out the po.icies of the lien son administration. However, I shall use my best judgment in all matters that require my attention and decide questions on their merits. The Journal of June 20 has the following concerning the health of Gov. Benson: Master Fish Ward en McAllister returned to Salem June 19 frrxo San Francisco, where he went to talk over the'matter of his resignation with Governor Den son, and he says the governor is in good spirits and ii improving rapidly under the care of the physicians. The governor goes out every afternoon to visit his jhy sicians or to a ball game and ex pects to return to Salem in three or four weeks. McAllieter says (iovernor I? n son expects to return during July and will take up his duties in the executive ollice and rcake a cam paign for reelection as secretary of state. McAllister's resignation from the petition he now holds as master fish warden has been hand ed to (iovernor lienson and will take effect July 1.
