Good Club Meeting
Monday Night
There was a good lively meeting
of the Commercial club Monday
night.
L. M. Simpson of the Deschutes
Power Co. presented a communica
tion from the Redmond Chamber of
Commerce touching upon the build
ing of a railway from the Hub City
to Prineville. Mr. Simpson also
stated that if we had any plan to
submit his people would consider it.
Messrs. Bowman, DuiTy and Shat
tuck were appointed a committee to
go with Mr- Simpson to the Prine
ville Railway Committee and find
out where we stood in railroad de
velopment. A communication was received
from Raymond S. Goff of Grizzly
asking assistance of the Prineville
Commercial Club to bring the
State Grange Convention to Prine
ville in 1015. The Grange expects
to do considerable extension work
in Crook county next year and a
little effort at the Monmouth con
vention May 17, this year, would
land it for Prineville in 1013. The
proposition found favor with the
club and Mr. Goff was appointed a
delegate to Monmouth to represent
the Prineville Commercial Club next
month. He is to use his best
efforts to bring the convention to
this city.
A communication was received
from the Paulina Commercial Club
asking for information. It was
thought that the present six-day a

down to thrice-a-week after July

tain the old service.

Public School Plays
to Crowded House
Dist Friday evening the club hull
was filled to overflowing to witness
"The Magic Boll'"' which was pre
sented by the pupils of the public
school. Every seat was taken long
before the curtain rose and every
available chair from the building
was quickly pressed into service.
It was then found necessary to con
struct a number of temporary seats
with boards, but all could not be
seated.
That the large crowd was highly
entertained was shown by their fre
quent and hearty applause and their
most favorable comments, many
stating that it was the best enter
tainment ever given by the public
school.
The play was new and interest
ing from start to finish and every
character was well chosen. The
little fairies with their light green
dresses and silver wings, together
with the elves in their ' brownie
suits were always welcome and
everyone was glad when the fairy
princess rang her bell calling for
these little people.
Each and every character de
serves special mention but particu
larly Dessel Johnson as "Countess
of Broomstick;" the character of
"Angela," a poor girl, whs well
taken by Ledosia Jacobs, so also
was "Rosa," her sister, by Hazel
Yancey. "Miranda." the fairy
princess, was well conceived. Wal
lace Cadle as "Lothar," King of
Burgundy, acted the part. "Dr.
Fontanelli," by Lynn Cram, was
well done.
The musical specialties under the
direction of -Miss Hubbard and Mrs.
Lewark were especially good.
Much credit is due to Mrs.
Gitchel-Morse, under whose direc
tion the play was given, and every
pupil and teacher who helped in the
work.
The school took in fHO.23 which
they expect to use for books and
some necessary furnishings which
they have already purchased.
