The Last of Dickinson-
Hall Shooting Scrape
James B. Dickinson, the Hampton
Butte homesteader who was shot by
Alec Hall on the night of the 14th
of November, is now thought to be
out of all danger. Nothing further
has been heard of Hall.
While Sheriff ETkins was at Bend
the other day Dickinson requested
him to drop all proceedings against
Hall, When be get well Dickinson
informed the eheriff that he in
tended to leave the country. He
will return to his old home at Elma,
Wash. -
Good Road to Old
r River Bed-Keep On
Road Supervisor Glenn Hend rick
son was ordered by the county
court to pick the rocks out of the
road from the foot of the west aide
grade to the old river grade. Heavy
traffic made this work im
perative. Ed Hodaon, In order to
help the work along, placed an
automobile at the disposal of the
road supervisor. !
The good work shouid not stop at
the river bed. The road should be
cleaned right into Redmond. With
the rocks removed and the surface
leveled the heavy traffic would be
greatly benefitted and its cost very
much reduced. Freighters and
automobile owners are willing to do
the hauling free of charge which is
no small item vhere a crew of men
are moved from place to place-
Road Supervisor Hendrickson claim
ed that the Hndson car saved about
half time in moving his crew to and
from work and from place to place.
Redmond will no doubt take up
the work at that end of the road
and see that it is made passable for
the winter.
City Election Dec. 15
Lively Time Anticipated
The city election Is right on our
heels again. A mayor, three coun
cilmen, a recorder, treasurer and
marshal are to be chosen December
15.
The retiring councllmen are
Messrs. Gray, Shipp and Cooper, all
good men and true that have labor
ed faithfully In the interest of
Prinevilie. The holdovers are
Councllmen Ward, Lafollette and
Zevely.
Mayor Clifton seems to have no
opposition for a second term.
From the way things look be will
simply have to serve again.
Quite a number are mentioned
for the alder manic job. The friends
of the retiring counciimen want
them to stand for re-election. W.
F. King is prominently mentioned,
so is W. A. Booth. G. W. Noble,
Dale Jones and Wm. Pancake. The
only man who has registered for
the job is A. W. White.
Recorder Bowman seems to have
no opposition.
Not so for the office of city
treasurer. At this writing .there is
good prospect of a hot three-corner
fight for the job of handling the
city cash. Joe Gerardo is the pres
ent incumbent and his friends think
he is entitled to at least a full term.
Mrs. Prince Glaze has shied her
bonnet into the ring and will make
things lively until after the ballots
are counted. Attorney Bechtel tias
many young friends that are going
to work for bim so the race for the
money bags is full of uncertainty.
Tom Coon and ex-Sheriff Balfour
are the only ones mentioned so far
for city marshal. Of course its a
little early and there may be some
surprises in the course of a week or
two.
Another matter that voters will
have to decide December 15 is
whether or not it will be possible
for the city to issue bonds op to
within 10 per cent of the assessed
valuation of property. At present
the city can issue only to 6 per cent.
If we ever have a sewer system it
will be necessary to raise the
amount from 6 to 10 per cent
Ashwood Wants to Know a
Few Things About County Roads
Additional Members
of Honorary List
Last week we omitted the names
of Horigan & Reinke, C. W. Elkins,
Mrs. McDowell and A. H. Lippman
from the list of those that either
furnished cars or made contribu
tions to the work of fixing the
grade on the Prineville-Lakeview
inter-state highway. This was a
public spirited act on the part of
all 'concerned and deserves the
gratitude of the entire community.
Sunday School Convention
The County Sunday School Con
vention will be held at Madras, De
cember 13 and 14. A good attend
ance Is requested. ll-27-2t
Ashwood's vote on the bond issue
was almost unanimous against it
In fact, the vote stood 40 to 1.
Are the people of the Trout creek
hills non-believers in the much-talked-of
good roads movement?
No, most assuredly hot, but they
would like to see some of the good
roads come their way. Most resi
dents of Crook county hardly know
where Ashwood is and in fact the
dwellers in that fertile and hilly
little district are nearly as isolated
from the rest of the county as was
poor old Robinson Crusoe from his
fellow men.
hy looking at a county map you
will see lines .drawn to represent
two county roads into Ashwood.
They look good on the map, nice
level, straight roads. One running
almost due north from Prinevilie
crosses over a spur of the Blue
mountains, but has lost all appear
ance of being a road before it
reaches these mountains. If one is
handy in the woods and can follow
a blazed trail, he can possibly find
his way across the mountains but
even at that he must cut and lift a
few logs from across the road and
drive around many others on the
McKay side,' as whoever is road
supervisor on that side believes only
in building road as far as his own
home.
I spoke of two roads the other
is from Haycreek and is just about
as bad, except that it has no tree
blazes to follow and has a dozen or
more barbed gates to be opened
and closed.
These are county roads, or at
least are called such. These are the
only roads some two hundred
families have to travel over. Be- -cause
of this, much settlement is
being held back, development by
present settlers retarded, and many
of the necessities of civilization are
wanting. With good roads we
would soon have rural free-delivery
and more postoffices, more tele
phones, more merchants to sell and
more people to buy. -
A county road has been surveyed
from the Axe Handle country to
