Good Roads Move
W. F. King and F. F. I lolscher re
turned Tuesday noon from Maryhill,
Washington. They have completed
the task of erecting signs at every
crossroad from that point to Prine
ville, along what is Samuel Hill's fa
vorite road between his home town
and California points.
This road was selected by Mr.
Hill la,nt year, when the route from
Prineville lo Lake county was work
ed by Prineville men, and signs put
up along that road.
The work inst connected rcnuircd
four large signs and 48 small ones
and the lettering put on evenly with
stencil. On each of them there is a
black arrow and a red star pointing ,
Another Slant at the
Mail Order House
The following story is taken from
the Chehalis, Wash., Advocate, and
is applicable to almost every Uiwn:
Every now and then there comes
to the office of every country news
paper a merchant of thc town in
which the paper is published, the
merchant bearing some article some
times short, but more often long,
i setting forth arguments in favor of
patronizing home merchants rather
than :r.:.i! order houses. The quest
of the home merchant for argu
I nienU in his favor is a legitimate
Jon.' and, so far as resource permits,
j il i.4 the office of the home news
! paper to print such articles, Put
; dot s the merchant stop to think that
1 every time a paper prints-an article
such as that it costs the newspaper
1 something?
Very often, much more often than
should lie the merchant who brintrs

such articles to the newspaper on ee

quicker than any other route.
The work of erecting these signs
will no dubt bring great results to
Prineville, for all of which the
people are indebted to F. F. Hols
cher and W. F. King who have
taken the matter in hand.
Samuel Hill and Major Bowlby
met thc local men here and the
eMire party went on south yester
day where they will investigate the
matter of making a cutoff that will

point and the Sacramento Valley.
They will return to Prineville to-
day.
round of the business houses. The
merchant doesn't stop to think that
the home newspaper gives its support
without remuneration to every move
that is for the better interests of
the city, county and state, that gives
columns of space to every celebra
tion that is held, that it writes up
the home talent play before hand,
and does a hundred and one other
things of a public nature, all of
which costs the paper money.
The fact of the matter is that some
merchants do not realize the value of
advertising when it applies particu
larly to their own store, but they do
realize that the- mail order houses,
bj; advertising, are cutting into the
business of the home town merch
ants. In their desire to head this
off, they do not consider that by ad
vertising their own business in a
straight forward manner through
their home newspapers they can
counteract the advertising done by
the mail order houses, and the only
' way they see to keep business at
home is to play upon the charity of
the home paper for free space to
knock the mail order houses.
If the home merchants, by adver
tising patronage, do not help to sup
port the local newspaper, they can
not blame the newspaper for cater
ing to the advertising of the mail
order houses and running it when-
i ever they get it.

BASE BALL
SEASON OPEN
Prineville Won in a Close
Contest Sunday
Another Game the 20th
Antelope Champions Are Com
ing with Re-inforcements to
Get Our Sheep
The opening ball game of the
season was played in this city Sun
day. The game was called with pro
per ceremony, and proved to be an
interesting one.
Mayor Chas. S. Edwards and Dr.
Rosenburg officiated in the formal
ities and Dr. Davis acted as umpire
for the game.
The visitors, who played as a
Culver team, but had men from
different locations in Jefferson coun
ty, started the score by one run in
the second anb -another in the first
half of the forth inning up to
which time Prineville had no tallies
to her credit. In the last half of
the fourth however, the home team
threw a scare into the visitors and
brought home three men, which lead
Culver ndver overcame. In the fifth
the home team tallied two more
and one each in the sixth and seven
th, which completed their total of
seven. .s
In the eighth the visitors rallied
and Prineville went to pieces to the
extent that four runs were made by
the Jeffersonians. They were not
able to do any business in the ninth
however, and the game closed going
to Prineville six to seven.
Batteries for the day were:
Culver; Mitchell, Boring and Wei
gand; Prineville, Fleming, Tethe
row and Neal.
Manager Michel of the ball team
announces that Antelope and Prine
ville will play on the local grounds
next Sunday.
Prineville News
Gets Scorched
The fire department was called
out Friday morning at 4 o'clock to a
fire in the plant of the Prineville
News. Before the firemen arrived,
the building was a mass of flame in
the interior and every door and win
dow was pouring forth a large
volume of smoke.
Being located but a block from
the house of Hose Company Number
1, there were two streams of water
playing on the bulding and contents
in short order and as a result much
of the contents were saved from
total destruction. .
There is no positive information
as to the origin of the fire, but as
Bro. Pollard was working until very
late the evening before, and had a
fire in the stove, it is thought that ,
the fire caught from the stoye. He
was sleeping in the front office on a
cot when the falling of broken glass
from the window awoke him just in
time to escape the flames.
The publication of the paper will
be resumed just as soon as the place
can be overhauled and stocked up
Mr. Pollard says.
