Farmers' Exchange Proves a Success Will Develop Crook County Land C. C. Heisen, of Chicago, who sold a block in the Windy City for f 3.- 500.000 to the Oregon & Western Colonization Co., has now identified himself with the Deople of Crook county.

Mr. Heisen has organized the C entral Oregon Land Co. with offices in the First National Bank building. Good Roads Day April 25 Get in Line The Farmers' Exchange or Cen tral Claring Agency, as it is called, started some time ago by Prof. Pratt, agriculturist of the Crook County High bchool, has proven itself to be a success. Within two weeks after it was started it se cured the sale of over 200 bushels of seed potatoes, and also a lot of seed oats. The plan is very simple, so simple indeed, that it is surprising that it has not been started somewhere else before this. If you have anything which you wish to buy or sell, write Prof. Pratt at Prineville and he will, without any cost to you, en deavor to put you in touch with someone with whom you can do business. Among the things now listed for sale are seed oats, wheat, barley and potatoes, eggs for hatching from the following breeds Rhode!

The work for Good Roads Day Saturday, April 25th has been thoroughly organized in this part of Crook county. Frank Foster and Tom Sharp, Jr., with, the able assist ance of Walter Hyde, will work on the lower Crooked River road. Homer Ross and George Russell will look after the Ochoco road and Fred Hoelscher the Shaniko road. The business houses of Prineville will be closed on this day, not only because the owners themselves, as well as their employees, have ex pressed a desire to give vent to their feelings on the business end of a shovel, but for the further reason that there will be no farmers in town on this day as every single one of them will be on the road with his men and teams. Every mud hole and rocky place in the roads that have been dealing misery to the travelers during the past will receive such a course of treatment as they never did before. The men who have been placed in charge have been busily engaged during the past week in organizing the work and getting tools together for the vast army of enthusiastic men who will be ready to literally eat alive the "thank-you-mams" and and mud holes on our public high ways. The Huff-Noble garage and the Jourdon truck will haul men to and from work on the lower Crook ed river road, while the Prineville garage will furnish one car for use on the Ochoco road and one on the Dry Creek road. The interest that has been shown by the public in Good Roads Day surpasses by far any movement of this kind that was ever undertaken, and the men in charge of the work are flooded with applications by men who are bubbling over with eagerness to fight the chuck holes instead of the Mexicans. If you have not already made ar rangements, decide at once on which road you will spend the day and notify tlie foreman in charge in order that he may figure on you. By all means get in line for Good Roads Day Saturday, April 25th.

Teachers and pupils are working hard to give a good account of themselves and the people of Prine ville are urged to turn out and en courage the school by their presence. The business houses are asked to close long enough on Friday, May 1, to see what has been accom plished by the Prineville schools during the school year drawing to a close. You owe this to your town, the schools, the teachers and to yourselves. Enjoy a few hours with the children. The monthly spelling contest of the Prineville school which closed shows a big improve ment over the month previous. The different classes seem to be getting their stride and promise to make things lively for the business men on Thursday evening, April 30, at Club Hall. The eighth grade, Mr. Lewark, teacher, had an average of 09 1-17 for the month. The fifth grade, Miss Hubbard, teacher, averaged 95 17-29.

Tho sixth grade, Miss Cassidy, teacher, averaged 90' 16-27, The second grade, Miss Evans, teacher, made an average of This grade is at a disadvantage in this contest for the reason that the words are put on the board by the teacher for the month which in a way limits review work.

Cram a franchise to instatall and operate in this- city a waterworks plant for supplying pure water for all public and private uses together with fire protection. On the previous day the mayor and members of the council visited the springs on Mr. Cram's place from which it is intended to pipe the water to the city. The report of the engineers em ployed by Mr. Cram shows these springs to be twenty in number and their aggregate flow as 2,300,000 gallons in twenty-four hours, which amount will be sufficient for a city of 23,000. The quality of water is of the best as it comes out from the stratified rock beneath the basalt, signifying great depth. This water has sufficient lime in solution to ren der it wholesome without making it hard, and it also contains iron with out alkali. The purpose of the new jompany is to construct a 300,000 gallon res ervoir on the Cram place within easy piping distance of all the springs and having an altitude of 207 feet above the street corner of A and Third streets. This reservoir to be connected at the center of dis tribution by a 12-inch high pressure pipe. Such a pipe under the given head will deliver 927 gallons per minute with a pressure of 83 pounds per square inch. This supply will make it possible to maintain four 1-inch fire streams" simultaneously which will deliver a total of 816 gallons of water per minute and project it horizontally a distance of 155 feet or vertically 131 feet through 100 feet of 2 j inch hose for each stream. If a 500 foot hose line is laid to a fire in the residence section and a inch nozzle used, 192 gallons will be delivered per minute in a stream 46 feet high. All water for fire purposes, includ ing that to be used at fire drills, also the use of 250,000 gallons for irrigation at the city park during each summer season, is to be given to the city free of charge. The same charges for water service, will prevail as heretofore. After a very careful and thorough discussion of the bill the same was enacted by a unanimous vote of the council. Mr. Cram's associates assured the council that immediate steps would; be taken to effect the necessary organization and prepare for the work of installing the plant. While . one and a half years are allowed for itsmompletiotyt is not contemplated that such tXne will be -require4foii , construction.
