Business Building
Burns in Bend
Bend, Ore., January 12. The
building on Wall street occupied by
the Vienna Cafe and Shuey's gro
cery was destroyed by fire Monday
morning, but a portion of the gro
cery stock was saved- The blaze
started about 2 o'clock in the res
taurant and spread rapidly under
the influence of a strong wind.
Plate glass in windows across the
street was broken by the intense
heat, and only the fact that the ad
joining building was of brick saved
the town. This building belonging
to E. A. Sather, was only slightly
damaged.
Shuey's loss is about $3,000, fully
insured. The Vienna Cafe had only
about $500 insurance, and lost
everything. The building was
owned by W. F. Farris, of Port
land, who it is understood, carried
about $2,000 insurance.

Commercial Club Meet
ings Full of Interest
At the meeting: of the Business
Men's Club of the Prineville Com
mercial Club Monday night a num
ber of matters of particular inter
est to Prineville were discussed.
One was that of getting- the county
court to spend twenty-five thousand
dollars on roads in the vicinity of
Prineville and eastern Crook county
and the appointment of a competent
man to have charge of the expendi
ture of that money. Mr. King re
ported that a delegation had called
on the court and while nothing
definite was done, it was under
stood that this amount of money
would be appropriated for the
roads of eastern Crook county and
that D. F. Stewart would likely be
the man who would have charge of
the expenditure of the funds.
The irrigation committee, consist
ing of Messrs. Pollard, Bell and
Peoples, explained tha proposition
of the Central Oregon Irrigation
Company to turn over the North
Canal Project to the state for the
sum of $300,000, there having been
something over that amount spent
on actual construction to date.
This project includes about 34,000
acres of irrigable land, a consider
able portion of it tributary to Prine
ville, and Mr- Redfield, the Irriga
tion Company's engineer, and the
state engineer practically agree in
their estimate of $24.50 per acre
for the completion of the project
for a total of $500,000 above the
$300,000 to be paid the Irrigation
Company. The land of this North
Canal Project lies between the Cen-
Report of County
Fruit Inspector
Report of county fruit Inspector
for December, 1913.
To the honorable county court of
crook county :
During the month of December I
Inspected approximately 2000 fruit
trees In the county orchards and a
part of the Inspection was made In
company with Mr. R. H. Weber of
The Dalles who Is commissioner for
the Fourth Horticultural district of
which this county Is a part.
The greater part of the trees In
spected were free from disease, but
In many of the old orchards apple
trees were found to be Infected with
anthracnose which Is perhaps the
most dangerous disease to apple
culture that Is to be found In this
part ot the state. Two orchards
were tound that are Infected with
fire blight. San Jose scale was
found In but one Instance while red
spider and numerous deposits of
aphis larvae and other minor pests
were more abundant.
The spread of anthracnose and
fire blight Is so rapid and hard to
control that It will necessitate rapid
and thorough pruning and spraying
to destroy these diseases and hearty
co-operation on the part ot the
growers only will prevent the
spread ol these diseases that will If
unmolested, wipe out every orchard
In this part of the state. The prun
lngs from the Infested trees must be
burned to prevent the Infection of
growing trees In the community.
The growers seem to appreciate
the effort that Is being made by the
county to protect the fruit Industry
and have Indicated a willingness to
assist In every way to eradicate the
different pests.
The original source of these In
fections Is shipments Into the county
of winter-apples and nursery stock
from Infested districts. The state
law protects every community alike,
and shipments of diseased or In
fected fruits are absolutely forbidden,
yet up to the time of the creation of
the office ot county fruit inspector,
this county was made the dumping
ground for some of the well known
apple growing sections of the state.
The dealers throughout the county
realize this condition better than
VOL. XVIII NO. 8
tral Oregon canal and the Pilot
Butte canal to the north and west
of Powell Butte.
The club recommended that aa
large a delegation as possible be
sent to Redmond the 17th of this
month to urge upon Governor West
and the state land board the taking
over of this project by either the
state reclamation service or by both
in conjunction.
Efforts are also being made by the
club in behalf of the passage of the
bill now before congress providing
for the free delivery of mail in
towns of 1,000 population and, over.
Mr. Jordan and Mr Brink, as
members of the educational com
mittee, reported that every effort is
being made to get the Oregon Agri
cultural College to hold a farmers'
short course in Prineville from Feb
ruary 23d to 28th. They had not
received a definite reply from the
college at that time, but expected a
definite answer within the next
week.
A number of interesting discus
sions were listened to during the
evening, among them, "Land Values
in Central Oregon," by Judge Brink,
"Dairying," by S- R. Cooper, "Roads
and Their Improvement," by Judge
Springer, "Prineville, Today and To
morrow," by W. F. King, and
"Water Rights in Crook County" by
Waterm aster Brewster. .. ...
The business meetings are held
every Monday night and are snappy
and enthusiastic, and should be of
interest to every business man and
farmer in the community.
the people themselves, and all are
pleased that there Is a way now to
absolutely prevent the shipment ot
this quality of fruit Into the county.
Apples In storage In Prlnevllle,
Bend, Redmond, Deschutes and
Laldlaw have been Inspected by me
during the month and many boxes
of badly Infested apples have been
condemned.
A special request was made by
Gov. West to Inspect the apples la
Laldlaw which I found to contain,
enough Infection to eventually
destroy every tree In that commun
ity. The objectlonal fruit was con
demned and the matter adjusted.
The largest quantity of bad fruit .
was found In Bend where a car ot
apples had 1 Just been received, a
great many boxes ot which were In
fected almost beyond belief, and In
whole boxes less than a half dozen
salable apples were to be tound.
I have not as yet been over enough,
of the county to make any state
ment as to the general conditions In,
the orchards but at this time It is
sufficient to state that fruit trees
are subjected to the same pests here
as m other localities, and the same
vigilant pruning and spraying will
be necessary to produce first quality
fruit as In other communities. The
best fruit tound during the Inspec
tions I have made was grown on
Crook county orchards.

the Association
In order to create a greater inter
est in the Parent-Teacher Associa
tions throughout the state, Superin
tendent Churchill has mailed pamph
lets giving suggestions for organiz
ing these associations to all parts of
the state. Prineville organized her
Parent-Teachers' Association last
spring and it is now In good work
ing order. This organization meets
in the public school assembly room
on the second Friday of each month
at 3 p. m. While these meetings
have been wetl attende4 there are
many parents who have not yet be
come members and it is hoped they
will attend and help in this good
work.
