this year in having secured such an
excellent corps of teachers. Each

for the hall was only completed

It can be stated, however, on the
authority of County Suierintendent
Myers, that everything possible will
be done for the young ladies to
make them comfortable. Each stu

work. Board and room may be
had at actual cost. Mr. Myers
says that parents need not hesitate
for a moment to entrust their
daughters to - the care of the dorm
itory. The Journal would suggest that
an organized effort be made to help
the boys through school. This year
there are ten boys for every job
and unless something is done many
will have to go back home- 'Phone
your wants for help to the high
school and they will receive prompt
attention. These boys will cut
your weeds and thus save trouble
for the city authorities. Make an
extra effort to help them get an
education.
You have seven days to get rid of
weeds. After that time the council
has instructed City Attorney Duffy
to proceed against all violators of
the ordinance, and he intends to do
so. It's going to cost you some
thing if you neglect this tip.

general election for judge of the
Supreme Court, which leaves the
question of bonding optional with
the county court, i. e., whether it
shall be submitted to the voters or
not; the other petition requires 25
per rent of the same vote but then
the question of submitting the
proposition becomes mandatory on
the county court. The petition pre
sented had many times more than
enough signers to make the request
mandatory. This, coupled with the
fact that a large proportion of the
signers were among the heaviest
taxpayers in the county assures the
successful passage of this measure.
The only serious opposition to
the question that developed while
signatures to the petition were be
ing obtained, was from those living
in the eastern side of the county in
districts that have waited a long
time for needed road improvements 1
which they failed to obtain. The
present county court, recognizing
this condition, has stated that iU
policy during the coming season
will be to spend a large per cent of
the direct road tax money in the
districts on the east side of the
county and that part of the west
side of the Deschutes river which is
in need of road improvements and
will not be directly helped by th. .
expenditure of the bonding road
money, thus equalizing the benefits
of road expenditures this cominjj
year. This action on the part of
the county court will almost elim
inate opposition to the bonding of
the county for road work.
It is with pride that the Journal
notes that old Crook county is
among the first of the counties of
the state to take steps to help the
farming and stockraising interests
get their products to market at a
minimum of cost, as well as to
make traveling between the differ
ent communities at all times of the
year much easier and pleasanter.
