with your children.
To the citixens of Prineville, let
us say, the high school brings the
best class of young people of the
country to our city. They are an
advantage to us in many ways.
I yet us make them feel at home
during their stay hero. They
must have places to stay and to
hoard while here. We must ojien
our homes to them. Many of
them are working their way
through school and will he glad to
do your chores for you. (iive them
a chance at any odd job you may
have. They will greatly appreci
ate it and you will profit also.
The people cf central Oregon
have always been denied some
privileges that those more favorably
situated have enjoyed. Among
them is the opportunity of bearing
the world's great orators, and
musicians. The High School has
secured talent for a series of five
entertainments, including some of
the leading speakers, musicians
and entertainers of the nation.
It is a rare opportunity fur the
people of Crook county.
It is our determination to make
this the best year in the history of
the school. Hut wo need your

interest in the school. Call more
frequently and get better ac
quainted with the work that is

imual returns will be hud by many of
tho more prn(rreaive farmers, who will
exhibit at the New York anil other big
land shows. The habit of exhibiting at
these big shows is a good one to get it
brings honor and money to the enterpris
ing farmer, lu past years the Northwest
farmers have won many prizes for the
best wheat oats potatoes barley the
finest apples and prize winning corn,
sugar beets, alfalfa and hops are also
raised. Kvery time a Northwest farmer
wins a prize at the big land shows more
settlers come into the Northwest and
many times they move close by the prize
winner's farm. This increases the value
of his land and brings him good, ambi
tious neighliors, who also get the prize

Hunch cup for hops tho l'abst cup for
barley. All these are beautiful cups, alt
worth $1,000, except the l'abst barley cup
that's worth $1,S00. Surely tho North

ilo they raise such potatoes, wheat, bar
ley, oats, etc.!
' $500 for Apples.

cille Kailwny, has offered $500 in gold for

New Bungalow
for G. M. Cornett
Prineville is a city of homes
and can boast of more modern
dwellings than any other town of
its site in the stale. The latest
residence to he added to the list is
(i. M. Cornell's new bungalow.
' The new home is located on the
site of the old one on First street.
The concrete work for the base
ment has already been laid and
the frame work of the super
structure has been commenced.
Tbe old building has been moved
to the west side of the lot.
From the plans prepared by F.
E. Fremont, architect, the Journal
gleans the following information:
There are two front entrances
off a big wide porch. One en
trance leads into a reception hall
with convenient hall seats, paneled
buttressed stairway, and plate
glass mirrors in door entering the
parlor. From tbe reception hall
you enter a large living room
exhibits and where to ship them. A
$ l.oi l prize cup or $1,000 in gold is cer
tainly worth trying for. Send a postal
to him to day.

Other Big Land Shows.
If the Northwest farmer will only get
busy and get his good stulf together he
can exhibit at most all tho hind shows.
The Pittsburg Land Show will be be
tween October 12th and October 28th.
The Omaha Land Show will be between
October IS and 28, Kill. Then comes the
New York Land Show with $11,000 in
prizes; dates November 3rd to Novem
ber 12th. After the New Y'ork Land
Show is the big Chicago Show, starting
Saturday, November 18th, and ending
December 9th.
The Northwest farmers' own show the
Northwestern Land Products Show, at
St. Paul will probably commence De
cember 12th and continue to December
24th, 1911, and so, you see, a farmer or
a community can exhibit at all the shows.
Every good" exhibit at any one of these
shows is going to help bring new settlers
to that place.
The Great Northern Railway is co
operating with the Commercial Clubs in
an effort to get good displays from all
sections.

TAKE TIME TO SEE THE FUK
Grand Ball in the Evening for
the Benefit of the Prine
ville Brass Band.
AH roads lead to Prineville'
Labor Day, Monday, September 4,
1911. Hurrying thousands antici
pating thrills attendant upon the
masquerade ba.eba!l will posh
their way towards town in autoe,
on horseback and even on foot.
Those who arrive early will be
given thrills in advance. They
will see the splendid automobile
parade and bear tbe famous Prine-
ville Harmony Band.
The three events of tbe day, in
some respects similar to tbe cele
bration July 4tb, will consist of:
1 The automobile parade at
2 p. m.
2 Baseball game at 2:30 p. m.
3; Grand bah at 9 p. m.
The parade will start promptly
at 2 p. m., giving those who were
unable to attend the coronation
procession a chance to see some-
of Prineville.
In the afternoon the city's busi
ness will rest. All stores will
close from 2 until 5 p. m.
At 2:30 p. m. eighteen men
groomed to the highest degree of
perfection will open hostilities on
one of the best ball parks in the
state. Professional men, captained
by Lake M. Bechtell, hero of many
hard fought battles in Iowa Uni
versity field, will go into the fight
determined to win. Captain
Splasher Quinn, of tbe business
men, predicts an easy victory for
his stalwart band of ball tossers.
All participants will be in masque
rade costume. If past perform
ances may be taken as a criterion,
the winner will be hard to choose
and a great game will be assured.
Few who have been to former
Prineville dances will recognize
the Club Hall Monday evening.
In addition to the decorations the
management, combined with the
band leader, are sparing no ex
pense in obtaining the best pos
sible music.
Ranger Congleton
Makes Arrest
Ranger Congleton arrested a
sheepherder named John Smith,
August 25, for leaving an unex
tinguished fire south of the Big
Summit in the Ochoco national
forest Smith was brought to
town the first of the week and had
a hearing before U. S. Commis
sioner Duffy Wednesday morning.
He was bound over in the sum of
$500 to appear before the Federal
grand jury at Portland in Novetu
ber. Smith furnished the bonds
and regained his liberty. Ranger
Congleton had no trouble locating
his man. He saw where about
200 sheep had been bedded the
night before and then rustled
around for the band. He found
Smith with the sheep.
The forest officials say they do
not wish to be to too harBh with
campers but must insist on a strict
observance of the rules and regula
tions governing fire. An incipient
blaze is a trifling matter at first
but if not extinguished soon
spreads. The arrest ot Smith
should serve as a warning to
others to be very careful about
putting out the fire.
