Colombia Semi-Malleable Range
In the Columbia Range, we believe we are offering one of the very best and most
attractive ranges made. Its a sanitary range. No place for dirt and scrubbing water to lodge
year after year until the dirtiest place in the house is under the kitchen range, as is the case with
,all ranges running to the floor. It is a handy range, top. The polished top makes it easy to
clean. The lift-up plate in front makes it handy to empty trash, etc. The damper handle in
front is always cool. We are selling these ranges at a very low figure considering quality and
will put them out on the easy payment plan.

Club Meeting
Tim weekly IiuHiru-BS Men's meet
ing of the i'rinoville Comnicrciul
Club hultl Momliiy niirht wan at
tended by over thirty of the bum
new men of rrineville, und a lively
interebt wan taken in the various
mibjecU diMeuiwed.
Dr. KdwardH wan chairman of the
evening and after routine ltUHinesw
was transacted, J. H. Hell, a mem
ber of the club committee, ap
pointed to attend Gov. West's irrl
Kation meeting at Hedmond, wua
called upon to give an account of
this gathering.
Mr. Hull stated that the meeting
was attended by a large crowd, in
fact, it was difficult to hear the
Heakers because of the number of
people present Gov. West's pro.
posal in connection with the state's
assumption of the North canal was
a business-like, a fair proposition
and was well received by those in
terested. C. 0. Pollard, another member of
the committee, addressed the irri
gation meeting at Iiend in an inter
esting manner.-
On motion, a committee of fi"e
was appointed, or rather, is to be
appointed, when it is ascertained
who will be able to attend, to rep
resent this viefnity at the Oregon
State Irrigation Congress, which
meets In Portland on February 13
and 14. The f 5 entrance fee was
raised by a collection during the
meeting.
D. F. Stewart then addressed the
meeting on the subject of Grain.
Wheat would be more nearly cor
rect for the major part of Mr.
Stewart's talk was about that
cereal, and It is one that he has
made a thorough study of and Is
well qualified to speak about. He
described the various kinds of wheat
with reference to their adaptability
to Crook county; richness in glutin
and other desirable elements.
Homer Ross, forest supervisor,
was called upon next, and in an in
teresting manner Bpoke on "The
Ochoco National Forest, Its admin.
iatralion, resources and relation to
the surrounding country."
Mr. Robs discussed itn resources
under five headings as follows
First Timln-r.
Second Watershed protection,
stream flow, regulation and effect
on precipitation.
ThirdGrazing.
Fourth Fishing, hunting, camp
ing and general recreation grounds.
Fifth Mining.
He stated that Ochoco Forest em
braced a net area of 'about 700,000
acres, and contained approximately
7,K75,000,0K) board feet of lumber,
of which 00 jht cent was estimated
to be mature and ready for cutting;
10 per cent over mature and the
balance of 30 jht cent is young and
thrifty growing trees.
This timlK-r, Mr. Ross said, has a
total value of over 111,800,000 and
a sustained annual yield of 78,000,-
000 board feet, which means that
this amount could be cut from our
forest each year without diminish
ing the supply. This will eventu
ally mean a great ieal to Crook
county since one-half of the Ochoco
Forest is located within ita boun
daries and 25 per cent of the gross
earnings of National forests is re
turned to the counties for road and
school purposes. He further stated
that the forest service is particular
ly interested in protecting water
sheds from which water is obtained
for municipal purposes, to see that
towns secure a permanent supply of
pure water.

Prineville, Ore.
A good delegation from Prine
villa went over to th Hub City to
greet Governor West last Satur
day. Much interest was shown in
the governor's plan (or Btate and
government control of the Central
Oregon Irrigation Company's pro
ject at the meeting held in Red
mond. After the governor had
explain ed his plan compre
hensivoly to the sevraA huudred
settlers who crowded into the
small hall in the Ehret building,
there seemed to be no opposition,
the- only misgiving expressed was
the fear that the oflicers of the
present company would not apply
the funds they would derive out of
the plan faithfully to the complo
tion of the units now under con
struction.
It is the idea of the governor to
apply the fundi to be derived
from the liens on the Tumalo
project at orce toward the con
struction of the North Canal unit
of the Central Oregon Irrigation
Company's project. It does not
mean an additional appropriation
by the legislature but merely the
authority to apply to a new pro
ject the funds that will be re
turned to the treasury from the
Tumalo project. The governor
feola that this money can be
handled through the state land
board as the school fund is now
being handled and turned over
every few years toward the com
pletion of a new project in Central
or Eastern Oaegon. The details
of the financing have not yet been
worked out but the plan in gener
al is deemed to be a practical one.
The utate land board will collect
the liens which will be the actual
cost of putting the water on the
land..
Prinoville is not so vitally in
terested in the matter as the towns
of Rodmond and Iiend which lie
in the midst of the irrigated dis
tricts, but Prineville will reap the
benefit to be derived from ad
ditional population and additional
productiveness that will be the
realization of following the gov
ernor a luea. Alter trie iorm
Canal unit hag been completed
the governor intimated that the
state would then be in a position
to start on the Renham Falls unit
which will bring the waters of the
Deschutes river to the edge of the
rim rock 800 or 400 feet above
Prineville and up to ita very door.
No opposition to the plan can
be expecttd from the legislature
for it is not a scheme to appropri
ate more money, but "imply to ap
ply to a further use money al
ready appropriated for the pur
pose. The governor stated that
when the legislature shall have
witnessed the progress and class
of work accomplished by the state
on the Tumalo project and that
nearly all the funds appropriated
had been retumi to the state or
that notes secured by first mort
gages on productive alfalfa fields
were deposited with the state
treasurer covering the actual cost
of putting the water upon tbe
Und, no opposition would be
found to the plan from any source.
