The reports showed that the Prinevillo teachers are pro;rei)sive and rcnli.e thit it is important to imbibe plenty of good, healthy twentieth century ideas and inhale plenty of the educational breeics of 1910. They feel they cannof do their bent work with tho present equipment and are asking at each meeting for supplementary readers, additional material for handwork, sand tublos, maps, globes, etc. Several of the grades received ciu-h prises on their handwork at the recent Connly Fair and will uvo this money for new material along these line. A widc-awako spirit pervades tho work of our teachers and they realize the necessity of being pro gressive and of putting energy, en thusiasm and originality into each and every recitation. An educator has said, "l!u progressive, if you htve conducted a recitation with out learning something new, with out coming to entertain clearer views of the subject in hand, or without discovering sunn manner in which you can improve upon your present 'methods then I re vorbrate in a highly pitched key, that you ought to be luhrled ns an excavation from the ruins of Pom peii." Principal Myers 'has a well or ganized plan of work throughout tho grades and is this year having each teacher put special drill upon tho subjucts of penmanship and phonics. Reports showed a mark ed improvement in both of these subjects. A sot of art books has also boon purchased and each toucher will teach the life and best known productions of the artists best suited to her grado. . After the different reports had been discussed, ''Principal Myers was authorized to purchase set of mpplciin nlary reader for three of the griles, ordtir seat for tho first grade and arrange, for a suitable pinion tul for the BliakcMirriai) hunt which was won by the public school at the Ciook County Fair (or the bent school exhibit. The principal bus planned to make this but mean something to the pupils by having parts of the story of Khakt'Spvaro's life told and suit- a Mo quotations learned in an grades above the second. Our public schools made fine showing at the fair in numbers, t'xurcirc and rxhibits and every parent and citizen owe Principal Myers and his loyal body of teach- er a vote of thanks for the excel luut work they have dont and are still doing In helping their boys and girls develop into useful men and women. Several Cases of Diptheria in. County Crook county has several caes of dyptheria. Two of the Bird- Ming boys wiire quite sick the last of the week, but both are almost well at this time. The o'.dur boy is considered out of all danger, while his ten-year-old brother is improving steadily. The families of Homer Barney and John Demnris were reported exposed from the liirdsong esses, but Drs. lielknsp & Edward who 'i & : r in I. S, ti .ft' I . f J Prinavilla Public S.hool Building. High School in have charge of the cases, say that no new cases will develop. The littlo son of W. T. K. Wil son of Sisters, was suffering from a mild form of dyptheria, but Dr. Coo of liend, who hud charge of the case, has been taking all possi ble precautions, and it is likely that there will be no spread of the (lift-ass from that source. ' Five new cases of dyptheria were reported in Madras on Sun day and the schools have bein cloted there to assist in stamping out this disease which has caused much trouble this fall in that part of the county. Dr. liolknap was called to La monta this morning to attend the sixteen-year-old daughter of T. M. Smith who has dyptheria. An older brother of this girl had dyp theria in Shaniko some time ago and it is presumed that he carried the disease home. Several other members of the family have been exposed but no other cases have yet developed. Who Will Get the Piano? We have been trying to get a line on the matter but the coiitentnuU prefer to fl'lit the matter out to the lust hour without a count so we are strictly "In the dark."

ALSO TWO BASKETBALL GAMES Both High Schools Working Hard for the Contest Hot Came. Football in Prineville Thanks giving. The liend High School has eleven huskies that are anxious to play Prineville and the home learn is willing. This will be the first game ever played in the county and will draw a big crowd. Prof. Evans, who baa charge of the Crook County High School pquad, does not know his line-up just yet, but will be able to an nounre it next wsek. He will have a heavy high school eleven that would be bard to tieat under the old rules, but under the new regulations their more nimble ad versaries may beat them. Bend will also send over a boys' and a girls' bnsket ball team. The defeat of the girls' team last year : ID. : i 5 J --hi f '-!. the di.Unc by Prineville has spurred our neighbor to renewed effort and a hot contest msy be expected Prmsvillo can be relied upon to put up two good, strong teams and liend will have to extend herself to beat them. The football game will be played in the afternoon on the high school grounds and the basketball games will probably take place at the Club ball. . The Crook County High should receive the generous support of our citizens in this undertaking to fur nish good, clean sport for our boys and girls. Bend will send over at least twenty-five young men and women that will be the, guests of their competitors heYe and Prine ville docs not want to act the part of a niggardly host. Our Bend visitors may expect to receive the best in the house. Plenty of Water. There is water and lots of it in the northern part of Crook county and all that is required to get it is to sink a well deep enough.' -Drilling in the big well at Cul ver Junction stopped at midnight Friday night, and Saturday morn ing there was 35 feet of water in the bottom of the well. ThiB water was 6truck at a depth of 750 feet, and the drilling is going on as before. It is the intention of the Culver people to drill until a large How of water is found. At Metolis, the new town a few miles soutn of Madras, an abund ant flow of water has been found at 1000 feet deep. This is a ten inch well, cased to a depth of over 900 feet. Water now stands in the well at the 400 foot mark. The drilling has been stopped as it is considered a sullicient flow by the companies that twn it. Drilling has begun on two other wells which will be owned by the townsite people Official Election tor iftPrnof Howrmn,Olilim ftotinir. riTi .

OFFICIAL VOTE CROOK COUNTY Does Not Materially Change Totals. COUNTY DIVISION DEFEATED Or. Belknap Re-elected to the Legislature 7 Referendum Bills Carry. History repeated itself in the con test for sheriff in Crook county this fall being the Bixth time in the past twenty years that the contest for this office was very close not more than a score of votes deciding the election. Balfour is victorious this time bv nine votes. The first report of the official canvas gave him the office by the fatal three votes, by which number J. II. Gray was one lime winner over M. A. Moore and in two other cases, one of which W. A. Booth was the winner and the other John Combs wss victorious. A later and more careful checking of the totals, however, gave Balfour nine vote3. Frank Elkins was winner over C. Sam Smith four and a half years ago by seven votes. Balfuur was winner over John Edwards in the primary this year by four votes. Regardless of the close contest between the democratio and re publican nominees for sheriff, the socialist candidate, J. B. Nicholas of Laidlaw tor sheriff, received 124 votes, which seems to ind'eate about the strength of that party in the county. Alex Loverem of Gist, the socialist candidate for clerk, re Returns for Crook County. Held ""J w a 1 ail t M- XH 1U M 16 I t! a liH u 1ft; li S s l-.i 51 SSl 5 I Tl 15 .
