Andrew Noble Sells
Paulina Property
A. J. Noble has wild to K. K.
Ijiughlin all of his land interests in
the Paulina country. It wax not
without feeling of keen regret that
he st vorcd financial relations with a
country so closely associated with
his early life.
Mr Noble is an old-timer. Not
an old If measured in years as in
exeriencp, He has had all the
thrills of a pioneer. He came to
this country 42 years ago and set
tled on Heaver creek in what was
then Grant county, He lived there
continuously for ;t'J years where he
accumulated a fortune in the cattle
business.
His life was not without its ad
ventures .On two different occa
sions he was run out by the Indians.
On one of them the Modoc came
very close to getting hia scalp. He
has promised to give detaila later.
In those days they had to haul
supplies from The Dalles, nearly
2(H) mile away. There was no
river road then as now and every
thing was freighted over the old
Horsehcaven road- In the winter
there was no mail from November
to April. He passed through all
the hardships of the ea'rly settler in
Central Oregon.
A few years ago Mr. Noble
moved his family to Prineville to
get the benefit of the schools.
Since then he has purchased a fine
ranch one mile from town, where
he now resides.
The Belgian Hare
Menace to Country
Editor Journal But few people
know or stop to think that the
Belgian hare is the same animal
that became a pest in Australia,
and that there is danger that it
may over run this region in a like
manner and become as destructive
as its first cousin, the jackrabbit.
The Belgian hare is only a domesti
cated form of the hare of England
and Europe and its natural habits
are very similar to our jacks and
cotton-tail, which are also proper
hares. The climate of Central Ore
gon is very similar to Australia and
would be an ideal home fur the
scamps. Don't pet and protect
him but shoot him on sight and
give her young to the cats. K. W.

MILLINERY PARLORS
Prineville, Ore.
voters of the county of Crook, state
of Oregon, the question of bonding
the said county for the sum of two
hundred thousand (f-'OO.OOO) dollars,
to lie expended In the construction,
under the supervision of the State
Highway Commissioner of the state
of Oregon, of a permanent road; and
Whereas, It satisfactorily appears
therefrom that said petition bear
the, signatures of 3f3 registered
voters of the said county of Crook,
said number being more than one
fourth of the greatest numlier of
vote cast at the next preceding
general election In said county for
the candidate for Judge of the
Supreme court, making It niandn
tory upon this court to call a
special election for the purposes
therein set forth; aud
Whereas, It I the sense of thl
court that should said bond issue be
approve! by the people and all or
nearly all of the direct road tax
should be expended on the Improve
ment ot east and west roads lu the
county, and that I hereby declared
to be the policy of thl court for the
coming season should aald bond
Issue be approved ; and
Whereas, we have good reason to
believe that the state of Oregon will
adopt the permanent road herein
after described and upon which the
aid bond Issue Is based as a state
road, assuring it excellence aa well
as Its permanent maintenance.
