Exactly how the accident hap pened will never be known. Graves and George Hobbs started for Bend, both loaded with grain. Graves was in the lead about 150 yards and everything seemed all right until the fork of the Pickett Island Bend road.

To The Editor: I have been asked a number of times recently about the aviation feature of our coming district fair, whether the aeroplane (lights would be a real performance or is just advertised to secure pat ronage to the fair. I am confident in assuring the people of Central Oregon that the performance will be genuine; . that the aeroplane flights can be de pended upon as surely aa any fea ture of the fuir. The management has engaged the services of Mr spared to make it up-to-date in all gilaa ChriBtofTerson, the most noted modern requirements. As a memi ber of the American Trotting As sociation stringent regulations had to be met and overcome. The Prineville track is right up to the minute. The pavilion has been doubled in size by the addition of two wings. It is now in tho shape of a Maltese cross, with the cupalo in the center, ' which greatly improves its appear ance. , The poultry exhibit house is a circular building with a beautiful Japanese roof extending four feet over the wall. It contains 100 coops that will hold three fowls each. The outside is covered with wire netting. This building has been' passed upon by competent critics as one1 of the most conven aviator on the coast, and the people of Crook county may depend upon seeing this birdman in his wonder ful flights at Prineville, October 16-19. . .

The "Bridal Couple" by Mrs. Carey Foster and brother, was clever. They baffled all efforts to penetrate their dis guise. The "Suffragettes" won votes by their modesty and good be havior. The coons and Indians could not be mistaken for the real article. Mrs. Claude Smith enjoyed every minute and furnished no end of fun for the spectators. The en tertainment was well planned end well carried out. With the largest enrollment in its history Paulina public school opened last week.
