A fine sample of rye, seven feet
high, was sent to President David
son of the Oregon & Western Colo
nization Company at St. Paul the
other day. Mr. Davidson replied
with an urgent request for more
samples. "If such magnificent rye
can be grown in Crook county the
same soil ought to produce prize
winning wheat."
The agent of the company here,
Mr. Stinson, was requested to get
all samples possible. Not only of
grain, but all kinds of stuff. The
J wtmples will be collected by him
and taken to the big expositions
this fall. They will have his perso
nal care. Each owner will have a
tag showing his name, where grown,
and under what conditions. Thi9
information will be a most effective
advertisement for the grower as
well as county.
Mr. Stinson feels confident , that
Crook county can walk away with
the big $5,000 wheat prize offered.
It is worth a trial, anyhow, he says
This contest for a 15,000 prize

near the home of Thos. Sharp Jr. .
Mr. McCall had shipped his furniture
and personal effects to Redmond
and they were loaded on the King
wagons ready to be taken to the
H ! ranch Tuesday morning. The
wagons were put in the tarn for
the night. Everything was con
sumed, including silverware, cut
glass and other costly belongings.
The McCall stuff was insured for
$22,500 while in transit but as soon
as it left the car the insurance was
non-effective. . Many valuable heir-
j looms were burned. These cannot
be replaced but it is understood the
wealthy Bostonian will soon have
more furniture on the way.
2 00 and district 48 Slayton district, will
I compete for a prize of $20, to be awarded
1 00 for the best Industrial ami Educational
1 00 exhibit, to be judged from general ef
1 00 feet. This prize is given by Geo. Rus

1 00 ', Any boy or girl may also compete in
1 00 the general fair exhibit by entering In
1 00 both the school and general exhibit in
j the industrial department.
2 50 1 No prize will be awarded an exhibit
2 50 that is unworthy even though it should
2 go have no competition.
2 so The Central Oregon Fair Association,
j through its board of directors, have de
cided to give to every pupil of the pub-
teacher, a season ticket to the fair.
This, with the 'prizes offered, should
be an incentive for the teachers and
pupils to do their best to make this
year's school fair the best of all. Be
gin now with the work. The teacher
can do a great deal by supervising the
work even though her school has closed.
Respectfully,
