City Council Meeting
Concrete Walks Ordered on
East Third Fourth to be
Improved.
The regular monthly meeting of
the city council was held Tuesday
evening. Present Mayor Clifton,
Councilmen Lafollette, Zevely,
Ward and Foster, Recorder Hyde,
Marshal Coon and Nightwatch
Huston.
Minutes of previous regular and
8pecial meetings read and approved.
Mrs. Dillon appeared before the
council to see if the order to put in
a new sidewalk along her property
could not be modified a little. She
had a bam that stood four feet into
the street and the new walk would
necessitate moving it back or cut
ting off the four feet She wanted
to avoid either alternative by cut
ting off four feet up to first floor
but the councilmen were stony
hearted and could not see their way
clear to make any exception in her
favor.
Jack Summers is the avowed
champion of the little folks and
bearded the council in its den to the
extent of wanting the street be
tween the city park and courthouse
vacated so that the land could be
used as a play ground for the chil
dren. ' He stood ready to do his
part toward providing sand piles
and other things that delight the
youngsters but his appeal fell on
deaf ears. In the first place the
street, if vacated, would not furnish
half enough room, soliloquized one
councilman. "No, and another
thing, if allowed to use it for play
purposes it would net be long until
the children would be climbing
fences and playing hob with our
efforts to build up the park,"
said another. This settled the
matter so far as the coun
cil was concerned. Every in
dividual member wanted the chil
dren to have plenty of play room
but the ground petitioned for, in
their judgment, was not half big
enough. Mr. Summers has not ac
cepted the decision as final.
J. H. Gray asked the council for
permission to have a little water
talk. He wanted to know if he
could use the city water if it could
be done without expense to the city.
He convinced them that the water
could be so controlled that for his
purpose and that of a few others no
uaiimKc wouiu resun 10 me Cliy.
He was granted permission with the
proviso that if the water were al
lowed to flood the streets or other
wise damage property it must te
shut off.
Chairman Lafollette of the Health
and Police Committee reported that
complaints had been made about
herding stock in the streets. Some
people thought they had a right to
do it and he wanted the marshal to
inform then differently.
Chairman Ward of the Streets
and Public Improvement Committee
informed the council that, he had
completed the work on the city
park and would turn the water on
right away. He also called the at
tention of the council for the
steenth time to the condition of
certain sidewalks, also to the cover
ing on the first Crooked river bridge
west of town. It needed a plank
covering and needed it right away.
Before he got through he was given
full power to have the bridge re
paired. The marshal was instructed
to repair the broken sidewalks.
The Fire and Water Committee
reported the arrival of two new
hose carts but the hose had not ar
rived. City Engineer Kelley sub
mitted plans for two new hose
houses to be placed on skids so that
they could be moved from place to
place if so desired. Houses costing
$78.50 each were selected by the
council.
The reports of the marshal, night
watch and recorder were read and

The Burns Boys
Had a Good Time
The return games of the Burns
baseball boys have not altered the
relative position of the teams. The
Crook County High is easily in the
lead. The first game here was a
16-8 victory for the home team, but
the second was a dandy 5 to 4 and
it took 14 innings to decide it.
Saturday's game went to Burns by
a score of 8 to 4. Weigand and
Tetherow were loaned to Burns to
help out on the last game.
The Burns team was shown a
good time. A reception was given
them at the high school Friday
evening and Saturday afternoon
Mrs. Belknap tendered the boys a
lawn party.

spring. An applicant must reside
within the territory to be supplied
by such postoffice.
Every one goes to see "My
Brother's Keeper," given by the
Juniors Thursday, May 14.
Great Work of Fiction
Not as many attended the re
view of "Les Miserables" by Mrs.
Wigle at the Presbyterian church
Monday evening as the importance
of the subject justified. This was
Victor's Hugo's masterpiece The
Unfortunates. It portrays the
tragedy and comedy of life at its
best and at its worst. Competent
critics concede that it is the greatest
epic and dramatic work of fiction
ever created or conceived. The
struggles of a soul transfigured and
redeemed, purified by heroism and
glorified through suffering.

School Children Too
Much for Business Men
Club Hall was the scone of
much activity last Thursday evert
ing when big, little, old and young
gathered to see the business men
defeat the pupils of the seventh and
eighth grades of the Prineville pub
lic school.
Friends of the school began to
get a bit shaky when they saw the
long line of business men that ex
tended from one end of the hall to
the other. The youngsters, most
of whom were in knee pants and
short dresses, extended about two-
thirds the distance. Prof. Lewark
pronounced the words and Supt.
Myers acted as referee.
The contest started off with a
flourish.
Dr. Rosenberg was the first to
take his seat. He tripjied up on
"beginning." The doctor left out
a "n." He was presented with a
lemon, the booby prize.
Ralph Jordan got mixed up on
"freight," a most perplexing prob
lem to Prineville merchants. At
torney Wirtz sat down on "accom
modate." He wanted to narrow it
down to one "m," which would be
all right for a single man. City
Engineer Kelley is a noyice at poli
tics. He couldn't even spell "candi
date."
Ross Robinson, who was born in
Illinois, didn't know very much
about the anti-slavery question.
He flunked on "abolition." County
Clerk Brown strangled on "as
phyxia." C. W. Elkins couldn't
control his feelings and went down
on "bereaved." T. M. Baldwin, M.
R. Elliott and many others stood up
manfully for a long time but finally
succumbed to the onslaughts of the
youngsters until only Supt. Baugh
man and M. E. Brink were left
The schoolman fell by the wayside
leaving only Mr. Brink on one side
and Frank Rice and Goldie Goff on
the other. The attorney was
eventually forced to strike his
colors and acknowledge the school
pupils the winners.
The purse collected by Attorney
Wallace was divided between the
winners. Frank Rice receiving
12.50 and a like sum going to
Goldie Goff.
The contest proved to be a great
incentive to the children. The
eighth graders finished the year's
work with a very high average
while the seventh grade is one year
ahead in the work. Instead of
drudgery the work became a
pleasure. Keep it up.
Some Work Being
Done atOchoco Mines
A number of people from Prine
ville visited the Ochoco mines Sun
day. Under the direction of W. H.
Crow the party was taken to the
big stamp mill and then into the
tunnel. Not much work is being
done at the present time A few
men are employed and the ore
shipped to Salt Lake- When Prine
ville puts in a railroad you may
look for things doing at Howard.
Some placer-mining is going on
all the time up there. Dan Put
nam made the biggest clean-up.
He got $85 worth of free gold for
10 davs' work.
Mr. McGuire who has the proper
ty bonded, is expected in any day
