Music Lovers'
Club Organized
Some of Prineville'a lovers of
music conceived the idea of organ
ii'mg a music club and accordingly
met at the home of Mrs. Charles S.
Edwards on October 19th to per
fect their plans. Mrs. E. L. Coe
was chosen president and Mrs. Ed
wards, secretary. This club met
again on October SI, and further
perfected their organization.
The president appointed a com
mittee to draw up a constitution
and bylaws. " VI usic Lovers' Club,"
was the name adopted. It was de
cided to meet on the second and
and fourth Tuesdays of each
month. The year's work will be
planned as scon as the books,
which have been sent for, arrive.
The aim of this club is self
improvement along musical lines.
Each member is expected to do
good active work throughout the
year and in this way furnish his
quota of pleasure and profit to the
club.

Editor Journal: In reference
to a letter published in last week's
Crook County Journal it behooves
me to make the following remarks:
In the first place, I do not think
that a person (man or woman) is
competent to pass judgment on
law enforcement in Crook county
or elsewhere who does not even
know the names of the county of
ficers of whom she speaks; I won
der if she knows that there is no
such man in Crook county as
Sheriff Brown? It appears to me
that Mrs. W. A. Ellis of Madras
would have kept the lady informed
in a belter manner than this.
There are certain radically in
clined people who jump at con
clusions without sufficient investi
gation of the facts, and these
women belong to such a set. They
remind me of the Pharisee men
tioned in the Bible who cast his
eyes toward heaven, folded his
hands and exclaimed "Lord, I
thank thee that I am not like
other men."
In making any statement to the
public through the medium of the
press one should inform themselves
of the facts, delve into the depths
for correct information and not
take a cursory glance at, nor a
superficial view of the situation; a
good many people are very prone
to believe reports and do not take
the trouble to substantiate such rt
ports. They are always ready to
discover a mote in their neighbor's
eye, whereas if tbey want to cast
the beam out of their own eyes
they want to see more clearly to
cast out the aforesaid mote. The
letter mentioned at the beginning
of this communication, attacks
District Attorney Fred V. Wilson
of The Dalles, saying that repeat
ed appeals were made to him with
out avail, which statement is abso
lutely falae, while the sheriff of
Crook county would not give aid,
which is another false statement.
Another accusation on which I
will touch is that Sheriff (Brown?)
as she calls that officer, is in
sympathy with the disreputable
element. I know that statement
is untrue for the reason that I am
the man referred to, although my
name is not Brown. I have lived
in this county 29 years, and taking
them on an average they are, as a
rule, the most wholesouled, friend
ly and intelligent ret of people I
ever associated with and I am proud
of being the sheriff of such a county,
notwithstanding the slurring re
marks made by outside interloper'.
She says that (iovernor Weet ad
dressed a letter to the sheriff in
structing him to take the neces
sary steps to investigate con
ditions. This statement makes
me smile for I had attended to this
"beam," and had forgotten about
it long before I received (iovernor
West's letter. They were not
quick enough.
In regard to the law enforcement
in incorporated towns, there has
been three successive grand juries
reported that they ought to take
care of their own business where it
is carried on inside of the incorpor-j
ation, and justly so. What are
our municipal ollicers (or if they j
cannot clean up the filth which is j
bound to creep in, however careful '
they may be? I will add, in con-
elusion, that I have striven to do
my duty in all things, that I have!
adopted a course which I consider;
is right, and in spite of the back-)
biters from the outside and the in
fatuated knockers from the inside.
I will be indorsed by the reason
able people of the county, but if
the reverse is the case, I will have
the satisfation of knowing, that ac
cording to my views I have done
what is right. I do not write this
as a personal defense, but as a
duty which I am called on to per
form to the county at large as well
as to possible settlers who aim to
make their future home here. I
am not only in favor of law en
forcement regarding the unlawful
sale of liquor and also every other
vice that comes under my juris
diction, but I believe in the en
forcement of the pure food law, in
cluding the adulteration of milk,
Yours respectfully.

Sheriff of Crook County.

Call Issued
to Sheepmen
To members and all others in the
wool and sheep industry:
Cull is hereby made for the 14th
Annual Convention of the Oregon
Wool Growers' Association to be
held at Baker City, Oregon, on
Tuesday and Wednesday, November
14th and 15th, 1911.
The O.-W. R. & X. Co. ha ve
granted a 1 1 -3 fare for ticket re
turning. Never in the history of this allo
cation have we been confronted
with more serious problems. The
special session of Congress at
tempted to slaughter the tariff on
wool. There is no question but a
similar attempt will be made by
Congress this coming winter to re
duce the duty on wool to a mini
mum or place it on the free list We
must vigorously conduct the hard
est fight ever made in order to edu
cate and convince Congress and
the American people that our in
dustry is entitled to the same meas
ure of protection as is given the
product of any other kind of labor.
We must insist before Congress
that the wool grower is entitled to
a tariff on wool that he may re
alize from his business the actual
expense of operation, plus a reason
able profit, in order that he may
live and not be forced into bank
ruptcy. President Taft vetoed all
wool tariff legislation until the
Tariff Board reports in December.
We must get ready for the soon
coming struggle which will mean
the prosperity or ruin of the sheep
business.
Some of the questions before the
Convention will be:
Wool Tariff Railroad Rates on
Sheep and Wool Railway Service
on Livestock Quarantine and
Control of Contagious Diseases
Forest Reserve Grievances Scalp
Bounty Law Wool Sales and
Wool Markets Mutton Markets
Sheep Killing Outrages.

Lake and Klamath
Cattle Quarantine
Klamath Fulls. Dr. J. Morrell,
State Vetinury. of Portland, and
Dr. II. E. Pinkerton. of the Fed
era) Bureau of Animal Industry,
with headquarters at Pendleton,
were here to confer with County
Judge Worden relative to the
cuttle quarantine of Lake and
Klamath counties, which bus
been imposed owing to tho prev
alence of scab among the herds.
They have been through Lake
county, investigating conditions,
and will tour this county before
returning.
Judge Worden, realizing what
an effect an order to dip all cut
tle would have on cuttle men who
have always fed their stock and
procure their winter feud in this
valley, took tho matter up wit h
tho representatives of the state
and government and their visit
here was to give assurance that
it wus not intended to forco feed
ers to dip beef cattle, save those
infected with scab.
Boef cattlo being fed for tho
market can be brought to the
feeding grounds in the Klamath
Basin for the winter feed and
will not be subjected to dipping
But all stock allowed to rim on
tho range with other herds will
have to bo dipped, and tanks for
this purpose have been built at
Puisley and .Silver Lake, and one
is being built at Ely. Dr. Mor
rell says tho only effect of tho
quarantine will be to cause cat
tlo to bo inspected before being
shipped out of Lake and Klam
ath counties.
This " is a protection to cattle
men and an assurance to pur
chasers that tho cattle are not in
fected. Dr. Morrell says the
raising of the quarantine rests
with tho cattle men, as if orders
for dipping are properly observ
ed and care taken to rid the ani
mals of the troublesome affection
the quarantino can be removed
in the spring. Another inspec
tion by the otllciais will be made
between January and March.
