Organized Effort for
Better & Cheaper Roads
The Good Roads department of
the Prineville Commercial Club is
making a determined effort to or
ganize good' roads clubs in different
parts of Crook county for the pur
pose of co-operating in a movement
to secure good permanent roads for
less money than they have cost here
tofore. Oregon has spent $18,000,000 in
the last ten years on its roads and
what has the state to show for it.
This is $24,000 per mile for what
tourists call "hog trails."
It is to stop this great waste of
time and money by co-operative
effort on the part of people living
in each road district that these
clubs are formed.
Crook county needs just such
clubs. When road supervisors
neglect their wook or squander the
road money foolishly the matter is
reported to the club at Prineville
and from there the matter is taken
before the county court. In this
way it is hoped to save money to
the taxpayer, secure more and
better roads than what it is now
costing the county. Drop a line to
Wm. Pancake, Prineville, for
further details of this new move
ment. '

Has Nothing to do with
Recall Movement
Prineville, Ore.. March 2Gth 1914.
Ed. Journal, Dear Sit A false
report is in circulation that I am
taking an active part in a so-called
recall movement; that I have jnade
trips in the country with Judge
Springer for the purpose of circu
lating recall petitions, and that I
also have a petition in our store for
the purpose of securing signatures.
I wish to state to your readers

origin, and will pay the sum of

Prineville Ladies Mak
ing War on Flies
" ' 1 " ' "
Now is the time to commence
war on the pestiferous fly. " Swat it
early and often. This Is the edict
that has gone forth from the Civic
Improvement Department of the
Ladies' Annex and Prineville is
getting right in line.
It is no longer considered a fad
to swat the fly for medical experts
are proving each year that much
sickness and many deaths are
caused by these filthy insects which
carry disease germs from place to
place and deposit them in milk and
other foods.
Since dirt of any kind serves as a
breeding spot for flies and other
vermin it is time right now that
everybody in Prineville should got
busy and aee that all old rubbish,
manure piles and outbuildings are
cleaned up at once.
It is not pleasant to know that
the fly you have brushed from your
bread and butter has just come
from an old outbuilding where it
has been feeding anil covered with
the-worst imaginable filth and
disease it proceeds to scatter it
over your food; but such is the un
varnished truth in many cases.
While all suffer from such filth,
it is the children who are effected
most seriously for a great majority
of the deaths of the young, par
ticularly during summer, are due to
infection by bacteria. In order for
these great enemies of mankind to
thrive, there must be the means for
their growth and dirt is the culture
field or breeding place. The worst
disease germs which enter milk and
other foods are deposited in the
majority of cases by flies.
To "swat the fly" is a good thing
but to destroy its breeding places
is better, for a single female fly
and her offspring, if unharmed,
will produce from April 15 to Sep
tember 10. 5.598.720,000,000. These
figures seem impossible but they
are given by the U. S. government
expert. Dr. L. O Howard.
The Civic Improvement Depart
ment of the Ladies' Annex has
taken up this anti-fly campaign and
no doubt they will wage war on
this dangerous insect. Let every
one who reads this article begin a
crusade today against its breeding
places and then begin swatting it
with a vengeance.
