his hearty greetings for he knows

pioneer residents of the county.
Speaking of the fact that this is

district for the reason that there
has been too much business for one
court in this district for a number
of years, yet I shall miss these trips
to Prineville, for I like this country
and its people."

INTERSTATE BRIDGE BEGUN
The Crook County Court
The county court has devised a
system of auditing claims that
promises to put the business of the
county in better shape than it has
ever been-
In the future it will be necessary
before any article is sold to the
county for any purpose to have a
signed order or requisition from an
authorized official for the article or
service. The system which is to be
used is one which has been worked
out by Commissioner Overturf, and
it was readily agreed by the entire
court that the system is a good one.
A copy of the original order will
be kept and turned in to the court
at their regular meetings and these
together with the original order
which must go to the court attached
to the bill for merchandise or ser
vice will provide a complete check
ing svstem which will no doubt
save the county thousands of dollars.
