Serious Accusations Continued from Bret paga. philanthropic disposition. There is always a motive behind the movement" Now will the News please state the motives that are behind the Madras business men? Does Mad ras want to be a county seat? Would some Madras people like to hold office? Why not? If Jeffer son county is cut off Madras is the logical county seat and naturally she is willing to work for it. But why impugn the motives of "four or five business men of Prine- ville who are working so hard against the indicated wish of the majority of the county that it shall be divided?" According to the News way of thinking our citizens have not public spirit enough, or honesty of purpose, to go out and work for that which seems best to them. To the mind of the News editor there is an ulterior purpose to accomplish. We would like to ask if the busi ness men of Prineville have not the same right to work for their town as either Madras or Bend? Again the News goes-on to say "Some of these men are in a busl iicsa mat win necessitate the es tablishment of other offices in the new counties if they cover the same field of operation as now. Others of the opposition have received con siderable county business which is all right from their business stand point. The division of the county means the breaking up of the sup port of certain political alliances which might result in some of the county business falling into other hands. These men, from a selfish business standpoint, are justified in opposing county division." The implication of the above paragraph does a great injustice to the standing and integrity of some of our public spirited citizens. To insinuate that the division of the county means the breaking up of the support of certain political alliances which might result in some of the county business falling into other hands, requires, in justice to the county court and merchants indicated, that the News publish the facts upon which such an ac cusation is based. Let us have the names of the guilty ones and state II -- , 1 specuicauy uieir onense. uive us facts instead of insinuations. cut are ALL the people of Crook county to suffer, as they have during the past few years," innocently asks the News, "just be cause a re-arrangement of affairs, according to the wish of the people, might blight the POLITICAL aspira tions of one small community, or, because it may open the county business according to law, or, be cause it may interfere with indi vidual political plans of three or four persons?". More facts are needed here. Show ua where all this Buttering is. Tell us about the political aspirations of one small community. Amplify your state ments with concrete "facts" that jou talk so much about. Give us "facts." What do you mean by the state ment, "it may open the county business according to law, or, be cause it may interfere with indi vidual political plans of three or four persons?" Here are insinua tions that snould be cleared up. The dissimination of such idiotic drivel should not be allowed to go on unchallenged. Produce your "facts," Mr. Editor of the News, so that this community may pass judgment upon you. Some of the business members thereof have done so in the following resolutions: To the people of Crook county in general and to the people and business men of Redmond in particular: Whereas, It has come to our at tention that a rumor has been cir culated that the business men of Prineville have threatened to divert trade and change their shipping point from Redmond, unless the people of that town "Lined up for county division,'' and Whereas, The Prineville News of October 16th strongly insinuated that "Only four or five" business men of Prineville were opposed to and working against county division Now, Therefore, we, the under signed, resent and denounce, un qualifiedly, the said rumors, and the said insinuations and statements in the News as lies, pure and simple and, moreover, we believe them to have been circulated with malicious intent.

Why You Should Vote for BOOTH Republican Candidate for United States Senator Are you bettei off now than you were under a Republican adminis tration? Are yon satisfed? If yon believe in the principles of the Republican party, if jou are convinced that these principles are best for the country, then prove it by voting for your standard bearer, Robert A. Booth, Republi can candidate for the United States Senate. You know that under Republi can presidents the people of the United States have good times. You know that under Democrat ic presidents you have Democratic times. Remember the prosperity under McKinley, Roosevelt and Taft. Kemember the conditions under Cleveland and Wilson. The issue in this campaign is not one of personality. It is not one of non-partisanship. It is a question of whefher you prefer prosperity under Republican adj ministration. Do you have enough work? Are your wages good? Is your business what you want U to be? If you are satisfied with present conditions, well and good. If jou believe that the present situation is better than under McKinley, KooseveU and Taft, you know what to do. The way to bring prosperity is to help elect a Republican Senate The Republican candidate in Ore gon is R. A. Booth. This is a Republican year. Vote the ticket straight. Uam adv.

Hunting them may be good exercise, but displays poor Judgment Life for most of ns is made up of lit tle things, so don't despise the oppor tunities for small enjoyments. t Monte Carlo made a profit of ovet $4,000,000 last year, notwithstanding the men with sure systems to beat it. Borne French scientist bas figured It out that in 2,000,000 years the earth will be frozen by the cooling of the sun. printed forms and warrants, etc. They allow only $2500 for all ol these items. Now any one can see at a glance that this amount would not properly tit up at leant eight offices, pay for one year's supplies in a manner that any taxpayer would demand, as we all want the records of our lands to be secure and afe. We want our prisoners secure and we should not undertake to have a countv until we can afford to pay for the necessary items. Why, the sheriff's office with jail would cent the $2500 by itself. We feel safe in stating that it would cott at leant $15,000, and look at the difference between that amount and $2500. Jefferson budget has allowed but $300 for her poor. Crook has paid $6350 in eight months, esti mate for 12 months would be $1)525. Jefferson's one-third would be $3175, or if they should only be slotted one-fourth it would be $2381 25, another underestimate. They have omitted entirely juvenile court, fruit inspector, stock inspector, sealer of weights and measures, insurance and library which are small taken sep arately but counted together they amount to quite a sum. The larger omissions are bounties, county lairs, miscellaneous ac count (in Crook it amounts to about $4000 annually), water master and fire patrol. They advanced the argument that with their own county they would have their own representa tive in the state legislature to help them out on irrigation matters and other matters of importance. They did not seem to know that under the Oregon Law we are epresented in the state legislature by a joint representative, who represents four counties Crook, Lake, Klamath and Grant and it will be some time before this condition changes, yet these men undertake to divide up Crook county and tell the people bow much better they can do things than our present county officers. Do you think they have the ability to do so? We are informed that it is the opinion of our circuit judge that if Crook is divided into three coun ties and they were to be added to the present work of our circuit judge it would take fourt en months to do the work that should be done in twelve months. This would mean another circuit judge at an ncrease of expense on all the counties in the circuit.

Finding herself In the water some distance from the boat, she grabbed for the nearest thing In reach. It proved to be her umbrella, floating with the handle down In tho water. She threw both arms frantically around the open um brella. To her surprise and to that of her comrades, she did not sink.
