the matter of a community Christ
mas tree last Thursday evening it
was decided by a vote of those pre
sent to celebrate Christmas this year
in Prineville In the true community
style, and have one immense tree In
the open where everyone will be In
vited to come and participate In the
festivities. , 1
There were some 25 delegates pre
sent, representing practically every
organization of importance In the
city, and a committee was appoint
ed to decide upon the details of the
affairs and report at the Commer
cial Club rooms tonight. Chairman
of this committee is Geo, H. Ram
sey of the Christian church who has
the matter well in hand.
It was the opinion of those pre

to combine the effort of the va
rious Sunday Schools and churches
and have a grand time in which
evreyone will be included, instead
of having a dozen rival trees, on the
same evening. It is the season of all
the year when the feeling or unity
should prevail. Boost!

The present storm, which is of
great bem.fit to all parts of central
Oregon, is general and seems to be
the heaviest that has occured for
some time.
The first of the week snow was
reported in varying depths of from
four inches to fourteen in the
mountains to the northeast and
south of this city and Monday night
an additional snowfall was reported

foot or more. .
Rain on the low lands is making
the loads muddy, and changing the
dust holes that have been so trouble
some durirg the summer to small
!akes and mudholes.
The stockmen say that it will bene
fit the ranches some, even at this
late date; the farmers are jubilant
over the prospects for some fall
sown grain, and the public in gen
eral is highly pleased.
"Your irrigation project, lumber
industries and other resources must
be developed and the building of
railroads will be easily accomplish
ed," said Robert E. Strahorn at the
meeting of the Central Oregon De
velopment league at Bend last night.
"Small beginnings in these enter
prizes can spell success. In fact some
if not the most of the great west

perhaps in a much more humble
way than the lines which I have de
cided today to build with'your as

The unusual case of two brothers
never having met before became
known a few weeks ago, when Jos.
Rivertof Kellogg.Ida., arrived at the
farm home of his brother, Gilbert
Rivet, five miles east of Sisters. Tho
brother were born at Juliet, Cana
da. Joseph on September 9, 1836.
and Gilbert on April 23, 1855. Jos
eph left home at the age of 19, six
months before Gilbert was born,
and, although they lived as near as
300 miles of each other, the oppor
tunity had never presented itself
for them to meet until the arrival
of the older brother on his recent
visit. Although Joseph Rivet is now
79 years of age, ' he is hale and
hearty and has the appearance of
being much younger.
