He Should . Come
to Prineville
L. II. Weir ot Cincinnati, who is
one of the field secretaries of the
Play-ground Association of Amer
ica, is visiting a large number of
cities and towns along the Pacific
coast for the purpose of creating
more interest in parks and play
grounds. He thinks Portland has
one of the best systems in the
United States, but he thinks more
grounds should be acquired. It
seems Portland realizes this fact
for at a recent Board meeting ad
ditional lots were authorized to be
purchased for the use of play
grounds for the schools.
There are many people in
Prineville who appreciate . the
value of larger play grounds and
just now is the time to get others
interested so that something
definite may be done along this
line before the new school house is
built. If satisfactory arrange
ments could be made whereby the
present school site could be ex
changed for the park it would af
ford ample room for play grounds
and give the city a park nearer
the center of the town. A beauti

Crook County Can Provide
Homes for Thousands
Come and See.
For the first (our days colonists
began to arrive in Oregon the
total number of new population
bas passed the 7000 mark, says the
Telegram.
Regular trains leaving Middle
West gateways are running in two
and three sections and special col
onist trains are being rushed west
ward as rapidly as possible. The
temporary accommodations (or the
new arrivals at the Union Depot
are overtaxed, and efforts are be
ing made by the traveling repre
sentatives of the different lines to
route the bomeseekers to their des
tinations without the necessity of
stopping off at Portland, which is
receiving about 80 per cent o( the
Oregon movement of newcomers.
Instructions are being wired
from here to the Eastern represen
tatives of the railroads to arrange,
if possible, to have all colonists to
go directly to the country where
they expect to make their future
homes in order to facilitate the
handling of the additional traffic,
but there is not much chance that
the movement can be diverted to
any considerable extent, for the
reason that the majority of the
Oregon-bound crowds have long
since selected their routing and
destination.
The movement is keeping np at
a pace that has exceeded every es
timate even of the most optimistic
prophets, and the railroads are up
against the problem of making the
best of the onrush.
From the scattering reports re
ceived from selling points of the
different roads, Oregon will receive
more new colonists this spring
than all the Northwestern and
Coast States combined.
Arrangements have been com
pleted for the organization of two
excursion parties a month, starting
from St. Paul on the first and
tbird Tuesdays. The passenger
list for the train of March 21 is
filled already, and many are sign
ing for the trips beginning April
4, April 18, May 2 and May 16.
From 200 to 250 people will be
carried on every train.
These parties are organized en
tirely independent of the colonist
traffic which the Great Northern
is handling under separate depart
ments. Round-trip tickets are
sold to patrons of these tours at a
very low rate, the price from
Chicago being $57.50, from St.
Paul, Minneapolis, Dululh, Su
perior and common points, 152.50,
and from other towns on the East
ern end of the road, a correspond
ing low figure. These prices are
approximately one fare plus $2 50
for the round trip.
