Many Good Things Would
Be Possible
Community organization in this
county for the purpose of eradica
tion of Jack Rabbits as a pest was
recommeded in an article written
for the local papers last week. No
movement on or intimation that the
suggestions made were acceptable
or even considered by farmers and
others have been received. The value
of organization for the farmers was
very concisely put forth by D.'. Mac
phcrson while in the County in Sep
tember. I am a firm believer in the
needB of the Farmers' Organizations
for Improving our farm conditions.
I am sure that aerial results can be
accomplished in an organized effort
to eradicate the rabbits as a pest.
This is only one good reason for or
ganized effort. Every rural com
munity should have an association
or club organization for three def
inite purposes; these purposes are
as follows: Better Farming, Better
Business, and Better Living.
.All of our farm operations, our
business and social dealings can be
handled under such a club or associa
tion. No dues or expenses are neces
sary. The meetings can be held at
the school house. Any work for the
good of the community can be under
taken by the organizations.
The success of any organization
depends upon the ability and activity
of the people to be benefited thereby.
Associations or clubs br tfiuiized by
promoters from the outside are
bound to be failures unless the peo
ple themselves are interested and
take an active part in supporting
such organizations.
THOUSANDS PASS
THROUGH GATES .
OF THE BIG FAIR
The eleventh annual Crook Coilnty
fair opened yesterday morning with
the most favorable weather condi
tions, and a promise of the best fair
by at least fifty fercent, ever held
in its history.
As early as Saturday the stock
commenced to arriw, and by Mon
day evening the barns were well
crowded. Tuesdaay night space in
the pens as well as in the pavilion
and other exibit room, was at a
premium. Never before has the
quantity of the stuff on display
been more than one half the amount
at this year's fair, and never was
the quality any better.
The display in the school section
of the pavijion is of higher quality
ii such is possible, than the displays
of previous years, and in many ways
reflects the advancement of the edu
cational world.
The quantity of the work shown
there also is such that it seems larger
quarters will be an absolute neces
sity next year.
The country schools are well re
presented, and the work shown by
them is of the same quality in most
instances, as that of the citjf schools.
The arrangement hs been changed
in the art division, and the new plan
is a tcrcat improvement over former
years.
While many individual exhibits
merit special mention, the largest

exhibit from an outside seource is
the Tumalo display which is in charge
of Fred N. Wallace and Mr. Gerking
of that place.
The greatest improvement in the
fair this.year is the management of
the amusements in such a manner
that there are no delays. The free
attractions are especially good, and
the arrangement of them on the,
program is also good.
Taken in its entirety, the fair is
even more than the management and
the Journal have promised the peo
ple, and the attendance is surely all
that could be expected and wished
for;
Those who have not already at
tended should not fail to attend the
remaining days, for they will exceed
all previous fairs. j
The races yesterday were close
and the time fast, considering the
condition of the track.
The half mile dash was won by
Novelty, Cotton second, time 56.
The quarter in which six horses
were entered five got away from
the start in a bunch and it was a
close contest to the finish.
In this Brandy took first and
Wa-stella second, time 2G.
The Ferris wheel was put into
opration yesterday afternoon and
the merry-go-round will be running
today. It was delayed by an accident
to the engine which delayed its ar
rival. to second position among the candi

Tonight at 7tharp, we will award
the second prize, which is a ladies

and wererved quietly and efficient

of Bend, Judge Springer, Superin

of the domstic science department,
and the class of girls who served so
many good things.
A display of the work of the
school, which is on display on the
second floor of the same building
was visited by many of those in at
tendance. The quality of the meal and the
manner in which it was served be-
speaks well of this class and its able
instructor.

PRINEVILLE BOOSTERS
M ME TRIP
Large Party Visits Tumalo
Fair and Other Towns
About sixty of the live wires from
Prineville made a tour of Crook and
Jefferson counties Friday and im
pressed upon the minds of a large
number of people in all the towns
practially of the two counties, that
Prineville is on the map, and that
the county fair is to be a good one,
and that they are all welcome and
urged to attend.
; The start was advertised for seven
o'clock, but the hour was nearer
eight before the first car left Prine
ville. At Lamonta the first stop was
made, and after a stop of a few min
utes which allowed the cars' behind
to catch up with the bunch, a few
selections by a twelve piece band
were played, advertising literature
distributed, and the party moved
on to Madras, arriving there after
a forty minute run.
The process was repeated at
Madras, with the addition of a
speech by commissioner Blanchard,
and a little exictement when R. L.
Schee caught a team of run away
mules in the crowd.
At both of these points the crowds
that were out to greet the boosters
were represenatives.
At Metolius the school was dis
missed for the occasion, a group of
more than fifty children came to
hear the music.
At Culver which was the next stop
there was a good Crowd out also and
after a short stop the party hastened
on to Terrebonne.
At this point preparation had
been made for the Prineville people,
an arch built ad-oss the street and a
good crowd were out to hear tho
music and visit with the boosters.
The Hub city turned out well and
a .slightly longer stop was me.de
there for gasoline and a few repairs
