Brewster as water master for this district was received and accepted and the vacancy was at once filled by the appointment of H. G. Kennard to that position. It is said that Brewster will be come the manager of the Squaw J Creek Irriagtion company with head quarters at Sisters. Kennard has been employed ns assistant water muster on the east side of the country for the present season, and for two years previous had been employed at Tumalo, a part of that time on the Tumalo Project. The resignation of Brewster will no doubt be of political importance, for about him there has been con siderable contention in court house circes for some months past. There is no explanation offered for this action at this time. Agents for AJAX TIRES 5000 MILES GUARANTEED In new location overJMcFarland Bros.

He has one idea especially that ap peals to one who likes order ami precision in all tilings, and that is a straight line road from the top of I-one Pine Can. to Prineville.
