Live Wire Talks
to Club Members
C. H. Moore, district superin
tendent of the Pacific Telephone &
Telegraph Company, with head
quarters at Portland, spent several
days in Crook county the past week.
He met the directors of the Pioneer
Telephone & Telegraph Company,
at Bend Sunday where some im
provements have just been com
pleted in the local office. In com
pany with W. F. King, George
Noble and Andrew Noble, Mr.
Moore came to Prineville Monday
evening by automobile, coming in
by way of Laidlaw, Cline Falls and
Redmond. The meeting of the
Commercial Club was attended
Monday night and in response to
request to say a few words, the
gentleman from Portland said
"What you people in Prineville
heed is the spirit of pulling to
gether. Don't wait for the other
fellow to do the public work; do
your share and your neighbor will
soon see the error of his way and
pitch in and assist. I dislike very
much the word, booster. Change
that word to worker and it will
sound better to the newcomer,
I think the thing which has done
this county more harm than any
other one thing is the booster, and
the ieilow who has Dut slight re
gard for the truth. The truth
about this country is plenty good
enough, and the sooner everybody
realizes that just so much quicker
will the real substantial settler who
is willing to put in some good hard
work developing the country will
begin to come. Then you can
figure your real progress has be
gun. You have all the natural re
sources in Crook county to make
the richest and most populous one
in the state. All you need to do is
to see that the railroads, the real
estate dealer, the immigration
agent and everyone else tells the
truth and does not try to make the
prospective settler believe he
coming to a country where all he
has to do is to plant a dollar, sit on
the front porch, smoke his pipe and
watch it grow into a ten dollar gold
piece the first six months. Truth
in advertising pays, not because
is good policy, but because it
good business."
Asked about the telephone busi
ness, Mr. Moore said the Pacific
Company expects to provide Cen
tral Oregon with a much improved
long distance service by the early
summer, making it possible to talk
with Portland or other Northwest
cities with the same ease as talking
between your local towns.
