BOOZE AND GASOLINE Crook County has been subjected lo the ordeal of having all the grue some details of a typical joy ride, in which gasoline, booze and fictici ous names on the hotel registers played an equally prominent part. That these events actually occur in ur midst, that the character and future of young girls is considered af as little value and on equal part with the booze; only for the amuse ments and use of the people who ice fit to take part in these debauches and drunken escepades, is one of ihe blots on our civilaztion. The central figure in the case lhat has been in our court for t' e past ten days is a man wh j has all the natural qulifications and gifts of a gentleman and the learnings and experience of a physician and sur jcon. Men of this type should be ly law, forbidden the practice of medicine and given to understand m a positive and prompt manner, lhat there are no places for them to fill in the present day and age. That his fifteen year old victim is a girl of weak character and a clouded record in the past only adds to this man's guilt, for the people tf the community naturally look up tin a man of his learning to protect and help to reform such characters lather than to drag them down and idd to their shame and disgrace. "NOTICED IN SEATTLE TOO From a recent issue of the Seattle Times we copy the following article, which is run under the head, "Cour tesy in Highway Legends" Prineville, Ore., on its main thoroughfare at the entrance to the fity has a sign reading, "Welcome. Please alow down to fifteen miles an itotir" At the other end of the bighwy where the tourist makes his departure is the legend, "Good lye. Come again" Yet thirty year ago Prineville was n the edge of the cow-country with Uanket Indians and lively visitors sot always adverse to shooting up the town. The Colt's 45 was a piece f hardware universally esteemed for its offensive and defensive pos iibilities. The transition to the "Welcome" gn is almost a miracle. It shows a most kindly spirit quite regardless of the fact that if a real speed de mon enters the thoroughfare he will o so fast that the word "please" will not be visible to him. Fortunately the vast majority of lutomobilists are human and there fore responsive to courtesy. Prine ville has taken- an advanced step in requesting automobiles to "slow down." That policy is maeh more effective than a system of speed tops who are in the business princi pally for revenue. New Fall Hats The Latest Styles at rs. Estes' Millinery Parlors PRINEVILLE.
