A Statement
In assuming: the ownership and
ublication of the Journal I am
alizing an ambition that I have
irried for years that of the puli
ation of a good country paper in
good town-
1 feel that the Journal is a good
aper and do not hesitate to say as
uch and also that Prineville is a
wd town. Both will be better
id the growth of the one will
cessarily be controlled by the
rowth of the other.
It is, no doubt, expected at this
me mat a stacemenr, De maae as
the future policy of the paper.
he prime object of the Journal
ill be to advocate and stand for
le best interests of Prineville and
rook county and the irrigation and
evelopment of all parts of Interior
regon.
Many things are badly needed by
rineville. For example, the irri
ation of the 30,000 acres of land
djoining the town on the north;
(evelopment of better sanitary con
itions within the city limits and
many other things.
At the same time the interests of
he . people living in the great
ountry to the south and east of us
ill not be overlooked. I feel that
development of the country is of far
more importance than municipal
mprovements and the interests of
he farmers and stockmen are of
Erst importance to the development
if this town.
Politically the paper will continue
o be independent. The commer
cial and industrial development of
the community will be the ambition
f the Journal and it will not be a
biouthpiece for any party or politi
tal faction.
To Prineville and the Central Ore
ton country the future of the paper
s dedicated and of Prineyille and
his grand and growing country the

is at once the most awful and the
most wonderful example of organ
ization the world has yet seen.
Harmonious action by Prineville
business men, first in determning
the needs of the city, and a unan
imity of purpose by the business
people and the stockmen and the
farmers, would go far to get for
Prineville and the Prineville coun
try that which it needs and to
which it is entitled.
There is a lack of understanding
between merchant and buyer as to
prices and values of merchandise.
The facts are that many, if not
most of the shipments of merchan
dise received by local buyers from
other towns could be had cheaper
from Prineville merchants, cost of
shipment, quality and other
features considered. This shows
one of the greatest needs for
mutual understanding. It is a
case of a house divided against
itself, and buyer and merchant both
suffer to the general detriment of
the community.
Pull together. Work together.
Help your neighbor so that he may
be able to help you.
Boost, don't knock. Boost the
town and the community. Think it
over and compare Prineville with
other towns. It will stand the
comparison.
Get in the harness, organize, help
and you will find that before
another New Year that Prineville
will take the place that is really
hers at the head of the procession
of Central Oregon towns.

The protection of the resources
and the inhabitants of the state
from rabies is receiving general
discussion. There has besn a rapid
spread of this disease which was not
known in Oregon until a few years
ago, and. although it is a hot
weather disease there has been a
general and rapid spread during
the last fev months-
In Crook county alone there has
been several thousand dollars worth
of all kinds of stock infected during
the winter and Lake, Harney and
Malheur, and, in fact, all the
counties to the south and east re
port the same spread of the disease.
During the past few months the
bounty has been removed from
coyotes which are almost entirely
responsible for the trouble.
Prompt action by the legislature is
needed. An appropriation to pro
vide for the extermination of these
pests before warm weather comes
is imperative for the protection of
the livestock industry which is one
of the most important in the state.
Much has been said by Portland
papers about the large shipments of
livestock from Central and Eastern
Oregon. The industry is badly in
need of protection and to the
Multnomah delegation an opportun
ity presents itself to demonstrate
just how strong that feeling
actually is.
There is another phase to the
question that immediately concerns
Prineville. Despite the efforts of
the council and the marshal during
the past year there are a great
number of loose dogs running
about the street of this town.
One man and a boy have been
bitten in this vicinity and many
others have had narrow escapes.
d animals haye been killed on
thf 6ides of the city only a short
distance out and at least four
crazed animals have been killed
within the limits of the city. It
seems that tnmediate and drastic
action should be taken by the
council to rid th cjty 0f the dogs
or require that they should be
muzzled, as in other towns where
the risk is no greater tin here.
In Portland when a caae of rabies
was reported every canity jn the
city was muzzled for months. In
Baker and other Eastern Oregon
towns every loose dog is shot on
sight-. In Harney county many ot
the country schools have been
closed to prevent the exposure of
the pupils from mad dogs and
coyotes.
