To the Editor of the Journal:
For the information of those in
terested in the proposed railroad
from Prineville to Metolius, I wish to
state briefly that the enterprise
seems now well under way, agree
ment for a permanent survey and
detailed description of right-of-way
r having been entered into between
Mr. Scheel and the committee rep
resenting the subscribers to the pro
motion fund.
Late advices from Mr. Pcheel as
sures us that the surveyors will be
on the ground within' a few days,
and that shortly thereafter, or as
soon as circumstances will permit, a
permanent line of survey over the
most practicable and feasible route
will be established. When this is
determined, the question involved
in securing the right-of-way must
first be settled before the main con
tract providing for the construction
work is entered into.'

nnd three years as manager of their
creamery at North Yakima, Wash.
ince coming to Prineville Mr.
Cooper has been a consistent booster
for the dairy business as one of the
best mentis of developing and build
ing up the country. He hns not
antagonized the great beef cuttle
and sheep industries, but has sought
to show that the irrigated alfalfa
ra iches, especially in Crooked Kiver
Valley, constitute a great dairy re
gion. Now that other purls of the
county are coming under water, he
predicts that Crook will become one
. of the great dairy counties of the
state.
Mr. Cooper has tried to interest
tla'rymen especially young men on
the farms to come into the cream
ery nnd learn to tost their own
cream witti the. isudcock tester.
Now that the Prineville High School
will have an agricultural course he
will probably devote a day each
week and have a course of cream
testing by the pupils. He expects
in this way to be able to start farm
ers doing their own testing, which
he very much desires them to do,
as he believes it promotes confl
. denee between creamery and dairy
men. Mr. Cooper's pride in his busi-

& Trust Co., the financial institution
that is back of the Deschutes Power
Company.
The gentlemen expressed them
selves as greatly pleased over the
looks of things and the promising
outlook for the future. Their com
pany depended entirely upon the
business judgment of Messrs. Simp
son and Sivyer for investments in
electric property and in every in
stance their faith had not been mis
placed. "We are not in the pro

Adolph Gallard. Our own money

decide to issue bonds to local people
here so that they may become inter
ested with us, but it will not be
done until the plant is on a paying
basis. We are willing to take all
the chances.
"We have been over to Redmond,
Bend, Metolius nnd other places and
like the looks of the country. We
are also pleased at the alacrity with
which farmers discard their gas en
gines to put in electricity. We an
ticipate an ever increasing demand
for the use of current on the farm.
You have a great country and its
bound to get better as development
increases."
Interesting Debate
Tomorrow Night
Tomorrow, Friday, evening the
Prineville Club Hall will be the
scene of a very interesting contest,
when the Freshmen class of the
Crook County High School will de
bate the Eighth Grade of the Prine
villa Public School on the question,
"Resolved, That Mexico should be
annexed to the Uuited States." The
Women Must Get
an Angle License
Portland, April 12th, 1913.
Mr. Warren Brown,. County Clerk,
Prineville, Oregon.
Dear Sir: Replying to your in
quiry of the 9th inst., relative to
the new law requiring women to
have a license to angle, will state
that such is the case. This law be
comes effective June 3rd, and after
enterprise thus far manifested,
there is more than a reasonable as
surance that it will not fail and that
a railroad to Prinevilla is more than -a
dream.
The committee has spared no
effort to bring about a successful
issue of the questions involved and
from the support and encourage
ment given them from all interested
sources, feel justified in offering
assurances that the way is open for
the ultimate completion of the work,
T. M. Baldwin.
For the committee.
Swapped Ranches
Jesse Windom of Culver, has sold
his place to Ira Black of Creswell,
Oregon, and Saturday last left for
his new home. It was a sort of a
j swap between the gentlemen. Mr.
Windom took nothing with him nut
some silverware nnd bedding. Mr.
Black likewise. "We niggared
down to toothpicks and organs,"
said Mr. Windom. "All I have to
do at Creswell is to go in and start
the fire in the kitchen stove. That's
about all the trouble Mr. Black will
hayo at my place at Culver." The
i trade involved about $11,000.00
worth of property. Mr. Windom
has lived in Crook county about
thirty years and leaves with the
best wishes of the people of this
community.

over the age of 14 years will be re
quired to have a'license to hunt or
angle off of their own lands.
The old laws under which we are
now governed, does not require that
women should have a license to an
gle, but does require they shall have
a license to hunt. Under the new
game code boys under the age of 14
years will not be allowed to have
fire arms off the premises of their
parents or guardians. Yours very

League Convention
Held at Redmond
Carey Foster got home Tuesday
night from his trip to Portland
where he took five carloads of beef
cattle. It was an off day Mr.
Foster fays, but he got the highest
price paid. He had four carloads
that averaged 1300 pounds that
sold for 8c. He had prime stuff
that was favorably commented up
on by the buyers. It was equal to
the best offered at the Union Stock
Yards and helped to enhance the
already envious reputation of Prine
ville cattle.

The fourth annual convention of
the sub-district Epworth League
met at Redmond on Saturday and
Sunday, April 5 and 6. There was
a rousing league rally which showed
something of the work and enthu
siasm of the several leagues of the
county. There were 45 delegates
present 24 from Madras; 12 from
Prineville; 7 from Metolius and 2
from Bend. All were royally enter
tained by the friends of the league
in Redmond. The officers elected
for tlie ensuing year were:
President, D. H. Williams, Mad
ras; first vice-president, Miss Ruth
Caldwell, Bend; second vice-presi
dent, George Kleinbach, Metolius;
third vice-president, Miss Myrtle

Salem, Or. The announcement
is made by J. E. Morson, presi
dent of the Deschutes Land
Compauy, who is just back from.
Washington, that his application
for a right of way to Crescent
Lake has been grauted by the In
terior Department, and that work
on the project will be resumed.
The application has been held
up because of charges preferred
with the department against the
company by Governor West. An
investigation prosecuted by the
Government special agents found
these to be groundless, however,
and last week the department
granted the application. The
project is dependent on the lake
for its water supply, and be
cause of the suspension of the
application for a right of way
across Government lands to
the lake work has been closed
down for over a year.
