Railroad Men Very
Favorably Impressed
Messrs. C. W. Wilkes and W. R.
' Skey, the railroad men who were
here last week looking up the ton
nage and the lay of the land gen
erally in this neighborhood, finished
their labors last night. The gentle
men are now prepared to make an
exhaustive report to their respec
tive companies. Both were very
favorably impressed with Prineville
and its tributary country. Stock
raising, hogs and dairying should
make this country famous, they
think.
Mr. Wilkes stated that they had
seen more of this country in the
past ten days than many of the
old-timers. Members of the Com
mercial Club placed their cars at
the disposal of the railroad men.
Mr. Baldwin, who has lived here
36 years, saw more new country in
taking the gentlemen around than
he ever dreamed of before.
Rains Not Very
Evenly Distributed
Heavy showers are reported from
the Willow creek country the first
of the week. So heavy, indeed,
that in some localities they
amounted to washouts.
Lots of rain is reported from the
Powell Butte section of the county.
Strange as it may seem Lamonta
got none of the heavy rains. North
west of Prineville the rain seemed
to fall in half-mile streaks. One
farmer would get too much while
his neighbor would get none at all.
Such are the vagaries of the
weather man.
Madras Bad Check
Man Out on Bonds
John Benson, who has been
boarding with Sheriff Elkins since
last April, regained his liberty Mon
day. A sister, living at Corvallis,
stood good for him in the sum of
$ 500 until the September term of
couri. Benson was sent over from j
Madras on a charge of obtaining
money llnder false pretences. He
got money on bad checks.
Condart Sells
Mortgaged Car
Chas. F. Condart of Prineville
closed a deal with C. R. Powelson
on Monday transferring a two
passenger auto 10 the latter and re
ceiving a substantial check in pay
ment. After the deal had been
closed and Condart was on his way
to Redmond, Mr. Powelson dis
covered that the car was mortgaged
for many times what it is worth
and also that there are a number of
liens for labor and other obligations
against it that make the car one of
the most valuable and popular in
the county. Payment was stopped
on the check, which soon leaked out
and the creditors got busy trying to
gain possession- Sisters Herald.

Seven New Members

to "Our Visitors," which was ably
responded to by Mr. Minor, worthy

"Learners," gathering some valu
able lesson each day from the
school of life.
Mrs. C.I. Wlnnek told "Why I
Would Not Be a Mason" and Oscar
Hyde gave his reasons "Why
Women Should Not Be Masons."
Mrs. J. H. Wigle complimented
"Our Men" in an original poem
which met with the hearty ap
proval of all the gentlemen.
L. M. Bechtell declared that it
was a difficult matter to live with
"Our Women" but , much more
difficult to live without them.
After a few pleasant and ap
propriate remarks from the toast
master the banquet ended. Car
nation Chapter then bade her guests
good-night, hoping that many such
happy visits might be exchanged
between Bend and Carnation
Chapters.

Dry Creekers Feel Good
Over Water Supply
Dry Creekers are jubilant over
the fact that R. R. Rimpler struck a
good flow of water at 228 feet. He
has 65 feet of excellent water.
Everyone of the 35 families in that
section was interested in the well,
not financially, of course, but
whether or not water could be ob
tained at a reasonable depth. This
well settles the question, at least for
domestic use. Heretofore shallow
springs furnished the water supply.
A co-operative effort will be made
this summer to build a ditch to take
water out of Dry creek during the
months of January, February, March
and April, to cover most of the 10,
000 acres available for agricultural
purposes. Community effort is what
counts. Carry out the same idea in
marketing your products and you
have made a good start on the road
to independence.
