The bottom of the base has one

Greetings
Another year has closed. The
Heavenly Father has been good to
all of us. Our church has been
fairly prosperous during the year.
This has been made so by the co
operation of the membership and
our many friends.
I wish to thank heartily all the
friends who have so generously
helped us by words of appreciation
and financial aid. We like l'rine
ville and her excellent people and
shall be delighted to serve them
another year.
During my residence among you
I have tried to be of real service!
to all. And if returned for another
year, I shall labor even harder to
serve the church, the town and the
people. Very truly,
John E. Williams.

Who Pays Taxes
To Keep This
Town Going?
By HOLLAND.
W II ION new bridge Is
needed, a rond must lie
repaired, a courthouse Is to
be built, where does the mon
ey come from? Io the mall
order bouses pay It? Hardly.
They will not even send
contribution to help buy a
bell for the new church or
to help a Fourth of July cele
bratlou. They pay no tuxes
tu this town, and they are
not coucerued In Its prosier
ity. This town must be support
ed by Its residents and those
who live la the Immediate
vicinity. If they Insist on
sending their money away
then they are helping to kill
tliclr town, and they are mak
ing It harder fur them to pay
the tuxes necessary to main
tain local government and to
make locnl Improvements.
You owe something to your
self, and you owe something
to your neighbors. You can
help yourself by helping your
neighbors. You can't Injure
your neighbors without Injur
ing yourself. When you send
uionoy to nmll order houses
you are hurting your town,
your neighbors and yourself.

THE DECLARATION.
Upon the whole, this (the Dec
laration of Independence) Is the
most commanding and the most
pathetic utteruuee In any age. In
any language of national griev
ances and of national purposes,
having a Demosthenic momen
tum of thought and a fervor of
emotional appeal such as Tyrtae
ns might have put into his war
songs. Indeed, the Declaration
of Independence is a kind of
war song. It is a stately and
passionate chant of human free
dom. It Is a prose lyric of civil
ond military heroism. We may
be altogether sure that no gen
uine development of literary
tnste among the American peo
ple In any period of our future
history can result In serious mis
fortune to this particular speci

The Powell Buttes
a Great Country
The finest field of potatoes the
writer ever saw Is that of Geo. Sho
Iwrt, planted on sumtuerfallow.
Mr. Shobert Is a good farmer. His
farm Is free from weeds and he raises
good crops. And, by tbe way.
while we are writing of his farm let
us not overlook Mrs. Shobert 's part
of It. Every year she baa tbe best
garden tn the country and ber yard
is full of beautiful flowers. Mr. and
Mrs. Shobert have worked bard
since coming here but are now reap
ing the fruits of their labor. They
reeeit'y purchased a new carriage
and are enjoying life.
Another refreshing shower Mon
day. A few light showers will do
no harm but an the second cutting
of alfalfa la now ready and tbe hum
of the thresher Is heard lu the land
a little will be plenty.
Mrs. Eugene Long of Prineville
was a visitor at Miss Charlton's
"Homestead on the Hillside" re
cently. The grain ts nearly all cut and
some stacking Is done. A bountiful
harvest Is given tbe people of tbe
Powell Butte country this year.
The dry farmers are ail happy. The
writer heard one dry farmer remark
not long since that he would not
trade bis 160 acres of dry land for
any piece of ditch land be ever saw
for grain raising.
Mrs. J. E. Warner has certainly
demonstrated that this Is a good
country for turkeys. She baa raised
nearly 150 and if she can successfully
save them from the raids of coyotes
will realize a nice sum when she mar
kets them.
Green Beard has brought bis
thresher over from Bend. He will
doubtless get a large amount of
threshing as there Is plenty of work
for two threshers.
Mr. and Mrs. Speer have returned
to their homestead on the butte
alter quite a visit with Mrs. Speer'a
parents at Bend. X Y Z.
