Several Automobile Loads
Who Participated
A purty of some twenty-five hutti
Den mm of thin city visited tho Mite
hell country Saturday, making the
trip in ears furnished by O. N. Clif
tun, I). F. Stewart, Hmcr Rom, E,
S. holilm, Gardner IVrry, ami J. W.
Curiam.
Tin1 road from Prnieville to Mite
lift!, which is about 52 miles in leng
th, is in excellent condition ami run
I' covered by an automuhilc with
out much cITort.
leaving Pinevillo at 9 o'clock the
car driven by I). F. Stewart arriv
t'd at the ranker tttation 25.11 miles
up the Ochoco from thin point just
one hour and ten minute later. The
summit of the Hlue Mountains was
reached on very easy grade in one
hour and lifty minuk-s. There is
located at this point which is 32 miles
from Prineville, Crystal Spings.from
which flows the coldest water that
one can wish for on a hot day.
Five miles farther is found the
Heaver range station which is on the
headwaters of West Branch, which
point was reached- in two hours and
twenty minutes from Prineville,
From this point to Mitchell com
suined one hour and ten minute ,
making just three and one half hours
from Primnrilleto Mitchell, The last
fifteen miles of the road are the slow
est ones by far because of the fact
that the road is about as crooked as
can be made, duo to Uie unevenness
of the country, and lack of efforts to
straighten them by Wheeler county.
The return trip was made starting
at 5 o'clock and arriving at Prine
ville at just 9. More stops were made
on the return however, and the road
up the other side of the mountain is
not as good as on this side.
One of the most noticeable things
in the Mitchell country just at pres
ent is the large crop of cherries of
every variety, including Royal Ann,
Bing, Lambert, Black Republican
and many of the less favored kinds.
It may be well stated that the Prine
ville purty took occasion to sample all
of them.

Attending the Fairs
A Habit With All
The Crook County fair will beheld
in Prineville this year on October C,
7, 8, and 9. Smaller local fairs will
take place in Redmond, Sisters, and
at Tumulo, all at an earlier date than
the county fair. The matter of pre
paring exhbita' and attending these
fairs is a habit, one that should be
acquired by everyone, not for the
small gain that may be had from the
amount of the premium, which by
the way Is something of an object,
but because of the good that it does
you and your neighbors to associate
with them and compete with them
with your best prodcts.
This fair habit and Others of this
kind are what make life worth while
The fair comes after the season is
over, after the crops are harvested,
and at a time when everyone should
take time off from the regular work
to compare the fruits of their labor
with that of their neighbors and find
wherein they may improve for the
coming years.
I And don't forget the sports. The
I county fair will have a number of
I new features this year, things that
will be worth your while, and are
real thrillers. Help yourself by help
ing these fairs. Attend your local
fair if you have one, and furnish the
season right by attending the county
fair, October 6, 7, 8, and 9 and you
will feel better toward yourself and
the world at large, be in a better
shape to go into the winter.

Five Garages Take
Place of Five Barns
Where there were at one time five
thriving livery and feed barns in
Prineville, the combined business of
those remaining today would not
equal that of the least of the five
in the old days. In their stead there
are five automobile shops which house
a total of thiry-five cars eace night
on an average besides the many pri
vate garages, etc., Truly times are
changing.

Bend Properly Cared
For Last Sunday
We have met the enemy, and they
are ours, again. Never was a more
decisive game played on the local dia
mond than that of last Sunday, when
Bend came to our fair city full of
confidence, and returned to the Mill
City full of wisdom and experience.
Result Prineville 11, Bend 0.
The visitors were not in the same
class with the local nine, never at any
point in the game did they show a
bility to care for their end of the
contest properly.
In the first inning, Bend got a man
onto Becond, and he was put out be
fore he reached the third bag, which
was nearer a tally than they were
able to make at any other time during
the game.
Of the runs made, three are to be
credited to Estes, three to Ellis, and
one each to Michel, W. Belknap, Mc
Call, Bechtell, and L. Belknap.
The game was too one sided to be
interesting, the locals hitting Spring
er of Bend at will, and Clow was but
little better. The visitors failed to
solve the mystery of Tetherow'sfast
ones, and don't know yet how they
practically all slipped by without be
ing seen.
Batteries for the game were; Bend,
Springer, Clow and O'Donnnell;
Prineville, Tethcrow and R. Lister.
If there remains any doubt with
the Bend team as to where the champ
ionship honors belong we will be
pleased to hear from them farther.
The boys were good loosers however,
and were supported by a half dozen
car loads of boosters from their town.
The facts in the case were that they
were just out classed and decidedly
so.
IN THE LAND
WY Wjjy Wk HtXRESS OR A J
Band
and Powell Butte station and return
to Prineville in the evening.
Concerts will be given in all the
above towns, Sisters will be the
point where lunch will be taken, and
slightly longer stop than the ordin
ary will be made at Tumalo, where
the fair will be in progress on the
above date. The trip will be 140 miles
and by starting promptly, and keep
ing on the move can be made nicely
in one day. Friday, October 1, don't
forget the date.

W. S. Ayers has A
Lahor Saver
W. S. Ayers has installed a milk
ing machine that works wonders in
the dairy business he says. The
machine has two units, milks two
cows at a time, and can total 25
cows in an hour. Each of the units
looks like a bucket with some gar
den hose attached, and acts like a
calf that has forgotten how to step
on your toe, sits peacefully between
two cows, and draws milk from each
of the four teats at a time, and as
soon as one cow is milked dry, you
just transfer the "suckers" to the
other cow, and the operation is re
peated. ' It keeps the milk clean,
handles easily, and never complains
about getting up at four o'clock,
and when one milks 38 cows as Mr.
Ayers does, this helps some. He
figures it saves him about $40 per
month and will pay for itself in less
than a year.
Inland Auto Co.
Garage A Beauty
The Inland Auto company's new
garage is completed and is a neat
and up to date institution. It is as
near fire proof as such buildiings can
be made, having a concrete floor and
metal sides and roof, and has been
given two coats of battleship grey
paint which makes it look real neat
and attractive.
A washing rack is provided at the
rear of the shop and a red gasoline
pump stands in front of the building
where all tired cars may quench
their thirst at 25 cents per.
Large Crowd Hears
Mrs. King Lecture
A canning demonstration given at
the Commercial Club yesterday
afternoon by Mrs. M. E. King, under
the management of the O-W railway,
was attended by some fifty women
who report a very instructive
lecture. This is the forty first
lecture given by this lady for the
railway people commencing on June
7 of this year.
There is a move on foot by printers
in this state to secure the printing
of text books to be used in our pub
lic schools in Oregon. The work
could be clone as well and as cheaply
in our own state, and there is no rea
son why it should not be done here.
The christian endeavor will meet
at the Presbyterian church next
Sunday evening a 7:15. As the B.
Y. P.U are meeting with the Pres
byterians for the summer, Miss Ilda
Cohrs will be the leader. The sub
ject will be, "Little Every Day
Kindnesses."
STORE ROBBED
AT TERREBONE
Some $450 was Taken Be
sides Checks and Notes
An est s Will Be Made
Safe Blown Without Attracting;
Attention Robbers Make
Clean Get-Away
McCoy & Son's general store at
Terrebonne was robbed Saturday
morning between midnight and
three oclock and about $450 in money
and a quantity of notes and checks
were taken from the safe after it
was successfully blown by the thieves
From the appearance of the job,
nitro glycerine was used in blowing
the safe, which was found with the
door torn open and the contents re
moved on Saturday morning.
About $75 in small coins and sil
ver were in an outer compartment
of the safe, and this sack was blown
open by the explosion and the con
tents scattered over the floor. Most
of this was gathered up by the ma
ruders and a strong box which con
tained the most of the coin was pried
out of its position and taken away
before it was opened.
The work was evidently done by
someone who was acquainted with
the local conditions, and Sheriff
ICnox, who is working on the case.
says that arrests Wlli probably be
made during the next few days.
James B. Gunn
Struct by Hayfork
James 6. Gunn who was stacking
hay at Marion Taylor's ranch near
Post was injured by being struck
with a Jackson fork on Friday.
The tine of the fork entered the
right side, to a depth of about four
inches, The point struck a rib and
slid along the side of the rib instead
of going between the ribs. This pro
bably saved Mr. Gunn's life.
While the injury is painful it is not
considered dangerous.
