Delightful Concert
Last Monday Evening
Prineville enjoyed a Treat musical
treat Monday evening when that
wonderful contralto, Mrs. Lulu
Dahl Miller, appeared at the Lyric
under the auspices of the Ladies'
Glee Club. Mrs. Miller's program
was delightfully varied so that
everyone must have been satisfied,
ranging, as it did, from the weirdly
dramatic songs of old "Omar," the
Persian poet of long ago "I Some
times Think that Never Blows so
Red the Rose," and "The Worldly
Hopes Men Set Their Hearts Upon,"
down to the most deliciously little
lilting "Fairy Love Song" which
caused many to sway in time to its
gay little rhythm.
The intervening numbers were as
follows: "Yesterday and Today,"
wherein one glimpsed the beauty of
the singer's lower tones, "Irish Love
Song," a little lullaby effectually
"bringing out the crowning qualities
of her voice. "Tonight" and "Sac
rament" were especially enjoyed.
The former being full of impassion
ed tenderness, while the latter, per
haps, best portrayed her perfect
legato. "0 Don Patale," an aria,
brought forth the most enthusiastic
applause which was deeply appreci
ated by Mrs. Miller as she had been
a little fearful of its reception.
"A Heart From Kerry" proved
to be a curiously tender little yearn
ing of one far away from home and
Ireland, so wondrous is Mrs. Miller's

power of actually visualizing heri
songs.
Although the program was
lengthy, Mrs. Miller, with great
graciousness, accorded two encores,
"A Child's Prayer" and the ever
welcome "Rosary," which were
hugely enjoyed.
A pretty moment was when a
beautiful bouquet of flowers, the
gift of the Glee Club, was handed
across the footlights. Genuine joy
and pleasure animated the face of
the singer as she bowed her happy
thanks.
A tribute must be paid to Miss
Blanche Williams and the ladies of
the Glee Club for the delightful
- . . VJ V, . v,. J X
Roses," "The Night Has a Thousand
Eyes" and that well known little
"Cradle Song" of Kate Vannah's.
Perfect communion twixt di
rector and club was very evident
and each singer displayed clear con
ception and ability. Prineville has
every right to be very proud of the
Glee Club and its charming di
rector, Miss Blanche Williams-
The difficult task of accompanist
to a vocalist of such marked tem
perament as possessed by Mrs.
Miller was most ably achieved by
Mrs. Lake M. Bechtell, and this is
to be particularly appreciated when
one remembers the very brief time
for preparation.
Altogether the evening was in
deed a notable one.

Jefferson County
Held Up by Injunction
In the circuit court of the state
of Oregon for Crook county, Ore
gon. E T. Slayton, H. S. Cram and F.
F. Hoelscher, plaintiffs, vs. Warren
Brown, county clerk of Crook coun
ty, Oregon, defendant.
The complaint sets forth, among
other things, that on the 2d day of
September, 1914, there was filed in
the office of the county clerk a pe
tition praying for an order sub
mitting to the electors of Crook
county to be held on the 3rd day
of November, 1914, the question of
the formation of a new county en
tirely from the territory embraced
within the boundaries of Crook
county; that the county court of
Crook county never convened, held
no session, or made any order sub
mitting the question of said pro
posed new county to the electors of
Crook county at said election; that
said court never convened after the
date of filing said petition prior to
the date of said election.
That the county clerk of Crook
county notwithstanding the failure
of the county court to conyene or
to make an order submitting the
question of the formation of said
proposed new county to the electors
of Crook county, placed the new
county upon the ballot for the gen
eral election to be held Nov. 3, and
a great many of the electors voted
thereon and the measure carried;
that the defendant, Warren Brown,
is threatening to, unless restrained,
will certify the abstract of said
vote upon the said question to the
secretary of state of Oregon who
will canvass said vote for and
against said question, and the
governor of the state of Oregon
will thereupon issue hia proclama
tion declaring said new county
created; that the county treasurer
of Crook county will thereby be
compelled to and will disburse and
pay to the county treasurer of said
proposed Jefferson county large
sums of money collected from the
taxpayers-of Crook county for the
maintenance of Crook county; that
a large amount of the revenues of
Crook county will thus bo diverted
for nn Illegal purpose.
That prior to the placing of the
question of tho formation of said
new county of Jefferson upon tho
ballot by the county clerk of Crook
county, the county judge and two
commissioners, as individuals, und
when not in session, and not at a
term of said court, made a memor
andum order, or pretended order,
for the submission of the question
to the electors of the county.
Wherefore, plaintiffs pray for a
temporary Injunction restraining
defendant from certifying the ab
stract of said vote to the secretary
of state, until such time aa this
cause can be heard in this court,
and at the trial 'hat said Injunction
be made perpetual upon the ques
tion of the formation of said Jeffer
son county.

Idle Money
Wrongs the Community
Money lying idle is economic waste. It is like
a well-trained man who has not found him
self. It has the capacity but lacks the oppor
tunity. The amount you may have hidden
away or in a safe-deposit box has a power
for good. Money is the lifeblood of trade
and should be in circulation. You don't
need to spend it to put it in circulation. Bank
it preferably with us, or some other good
bank and thereby help the community.
We pay four per cent interest on savings.
