Bondimen Asked For Release
From $5,000 Bond and
Request i Granted
Dr. E. Rca Norris, the Bend
physieian who was found guilty in
the eircuit court In this city last
week on a statutory charge and was
wntcncfd to a term of from one to
twenty years, was taken in custody
aguin on Monday on a warrant issu'
d in the circuit court at The Dalles
and it is understood that he will be

Monday night and held here Tues
day, and later was taken to The
Dalles and put in the Wasco county
bastile.
The charge under which he is be
ing tried is a part of the same mat
ter for which he was tried here, and
will admit of practically the same
evidence. Many of the same wit
nesses who appeared here have been
subpoenaed for appearance at once
before the court there, the deeds
for which he will he tried were com-'
rnitted in that county which makes
procedure from that court the
proper step by the officials.
Considerable feeling 1ms grown
about this case, and it is not prob
able that the defendant will be
shown much sympathy in this trial.
The attorneys who defended him
here will not appear for him in The
Dalles. Just who the defending
counsel will be has not yet been an
nounced. John Collins and Mrs. Howell are

Only six days until the Crook
County fair.
PL ANS ALL READY FOR
THE BIG COUNTY FAIR
One week from today the annual
Crook County fair will be in pro
gress in this city. We have told you
a number of times that this fair
will eclipse all the past events of
this nature in Central Oregon, and
to prove this contention we will give
a brief outline of what the visitors
to the fair will see this year
THE BEGINNING
Starting eleven years ago this Oc
tober, when a temporary board shed
was erected on the old race track
where the' high school now stands,
this fair has grown to be one of the
best county fairs in Oregon. '
At the beginning the people of
the country predicted utter failure.
ThiB prediction always comes with
every new venture, and the board
had a hard fight over a period of
a half dozen years, to keep the in
stitution alive. The racehorse was
the dominant factor, and the far
mer and his "pumpkins" were given
a hard tussle for recognition.
BUSY EVERY MINUTE
From this start the growth of
the fair idea has been constant until
it has reached a point where it will
be satisfactory to everyone this year.
The management have recognized
the fact that the people are entitled
to entertainment of the highest order
and to this end a program has been
arranged for this year that will
keep those who visit tho fair' Ji,er
tained every minute of the entire
four days.
A number of free attractions have
been added, and the tiresome delays
that have been noticeable at other
fairs will not bother at this one.
HA LOON DAY AND NIGHT
While a baloon act always fur
nishes a thrill for old and young
alike, the developments in aerial
navigation during the past year has
made possible things that would
have been deemed suicide a year
ago. The well known McClellan
Aviation company of Spokane has
contracted with too management of
the fair to put on feats that have
never been seen before this year.
"AND CME FOR
"orfen tV n ff -?m h
They will send up an aviator, who
after reaching a height of 2000 feet
or more, will drop from a balloon,
and after the parachute opens he
will make a second drop, and later
a third dive toward the earth. These
spectacular flirts with death in the
clouds will be made daily during
the fair.
At night, ascensions will be made
in the city, and after reaching a
sensational height in the dark, a
beautiful display of fire works will
be discharged in midair. These feats
alone will be worth coming many
miles to see.
MANY NEW STUNTS
Automobile races, motorcycle
races, buckaroos night shirt races,
potato races on horseback, stage
coach races, stage coach holdup
hitching race, slow mule race,
novelty races, and many other fea
tures besides the usual running
races will make every day a day
that you cannot afford to miss.
The management is proceeding
on the theory that it is better to
please than to dissappoint, and will
guarantee that every visitor is well
satisfied with the show made. here.
MARVELOUS ROXALEZ WILL
APPEAR
Each afternon there will be a
free act in front of the grandstand,
and on some of the days two or
three acts, by a man who calls him
self the Marvelous Roxalez. This
man is playing at many of the fairs
in the northwest this year, and is
at the Hippodrome Theatre in Spo
kane this week.
He has a combination of acts that
cannot be excelled, and will furnish
a half hour of clean amusement
each day in front of the grand stand.
LOTS OF GOOD MUSIC
The music this year will be fur
nished by a Crook County band,
Ashley Forrest of Bend leading.
They will have a 20-piece band, and
will give concerts, both on the street
during the day and in the evening.
Ifyou like good music, and lots of
contniued no page 7.
YOU, JOHN."
Harding in Brooklyn Eayl.
Governor Will Be
Pioperly Entertained
Plans for the enterainment of the
Governor and his party on Saturday
at the fair are Well under way.
The reception committee with a
number of cars, will meet the train
at Metolius at 5:21 in the morning,
and the party will be in- Prineville
before the train reaches Redmond.
Breakfast wili be served at the Hotel
Prineville at 7 o'clock. Besides the
reception committee there will be
the members 'of the fair board, com
mercial bodies and other prominent
men present. ,
At 12 a luncheon will be served
on the fair grounds where every
one will be given an opportunity to
meet the Governor and hear him
speak.
L
Latest Model Big Job Press
Now in Operation
The Journal this week added a
new series Chandler and Price print
ng press of the largest size to its
office equipment.
The new pressis a 14J x 22 of the
latest pattern, is new and up to
date in every respect and represents
the last word in the job press line.
It will print a hand bill or poster
the size of a page of this paper, or
will print one line on a calling card
with equal ease. - - .
The press which weighs 3100
pounds, was shipped from the Spc-

is no
I thing in the printing line that can
inot be turned out from the Journal
shop, with the equipment which
j we now have in operation. The in
creased demand for high class work,
and the variety of demands, has
made the installation of this new
press a good business proposition.
! The support of the business houses
j of the community, and the people
j of the county has made the installa

ble and necessary, and for this sup
port and patronage we are duly

the future as in the past months, to
add further equipments just as fast
as the business will warrant it, and
a bettor nancr. and bett t work will
be our aim at all times. A power
folder is now being considered which
wiil fold the'newspapers and smaller
work as well.
In the nine months in which the
Journal has been in control of the
present managment we have made a
number of important improvements,
in the way of new machinery and
much new type of the various kinds,
and there are now at all times four
people on the regular staff, and an
other will perhaps be added shortly,
and all are busy all the time.
We stated in our introductory an
nouncement that we believe in Prine
ville and the future, and we feel
that our acts have been in accord
with those statements. We think
that there are great things
in store for the Prineville country
during the coming months, and
shall do all that is possible to assist
in these developments.
