The bachelors are divided into two
classes the favorites and the field.
The favorites are all bridlewise and ,

The "Flying Squad"
Visits Prineville
Hanged Himself
in the Cook House
The "flying squad" of the Port
land commercial club arrived in
Prineville Monday in time for din
ner, after which a mass meetina
was held at Commercial Club Hall.
The purpose of the visit was to
arouse enthusiasm for the conven
tion of the Central Oregon Devel
opment League, which meets at
Klamath Falls, August 19 to 21.
This convention will be the scene
of the first demonstration of the
extension work of the Oregon Agri
cultural College in On travelin co-
oirative work in dairying, irriga
tion farming, dry farming and do
mestic science. There will K- ,J
eral programs in progress during
the three days of the meeting, so
that farmers, farmers' wives, busi
ness men and visitors win
entertainment and meetings of a
character to delight, interest and
instruct. It is proposed to hear
from experienced farmers or home
steaders from every section of Cen
tral Oregon, telling what they" have
done, describing conditions and in.
j dicating the needs of each section.
Many of these experiences will be
an inspiration to those who are
gathered there and will help them
located with the least expense.
At the close of his remarks Mr.
Bates unfurled a very handsome
flag 5x10 feet, given by Mrs. C. C
Chapman of Portland to the boy or
girl making the best industrial ex
hibit this fall at the Crook County
Fair.
Prof. Cardley, of the Aorieulhiral
College, gave a short talk on th
work of the demonstration farms
and their relation to the community
in which they were located. He
was followed by R. H. Crozier, as
sistant general passenger agent of
the Hill lines, who spoke on "Trans-'
portation, its needs and benefits to
a community."
L. M. Foss, of the O.-W. R. & N.
Co., spoke on "Co-operation." J. C.
Leedy, of the Burns high school,
told of the benefits of a high school
agricultural course to a.growing
community. He was glad'to know.

Madras Harnessmaker
Frightfully Burned
Dan Williams, the harness maker
at Madras was so badly burned last
evening that his injuries may cost
him his life.
It was at the close of a day's
work when Mr. Williams started to
fill the tank of his gasoline torch
used to keep the wax hot. He
turned out the light, as he thought,
and took a quart measure and filled
it with gasoline so that evervthino-
would be in readiness in the morn
ing. He failed to turn the litrht
entirely out and when he went to
pour the gasoline in it caught fire
and quickly spread to his hands and
wrists and right arm to the shoul
der. He was fearfullv humeri
Dr. Edwards, who was sum
moned by Dr. Haille of Madras to
assist with the case, says that if
Williams lives he will be a cripple
for life. The muscles of the hands
and wrists will be drawn all out of
shape. Williams was hurried to
The Dalles Hospital on the night
train.

Big Crop of Wheat
on Poverty Flat
six
Thomas Creamer, who lives
miles northwest of Prineville in the
section locally known as Poverty
Flat, called at the Journal office
Monday and incidentally mentioned
that his big crop of winter wheat
would be ready to cut in about ten
days. This field of wheat stands
more than 'waist high, is thick 'on
the ground, and is remarkably well
headed out with full plump grains.
Mr. Creamer has already received
offers from buyers for this cron of
wheat, but intends to harvest and
hold it for seed, for mhiv. r..
, - TT..1,,1 JJUl-
pose it will be very desirable as
is free from weeds and the small
amount of volunteer rye will be cut
out before the weat is harvested-
This bumper crop certainly con.
tradicts the name of the
which produces it, and is added
proof of the productiveness of Crook
county soil when treated to nroner
cultivation.
