The game which was hotly ontested from beginning to end resulted in a clean victory of 7 to 0 for Prineville. The first quarter found Prine ville forced to a defensive game bjUt Bnnius proved equal to the occasion and his long punts kept the game out of the danger zone. , In the second quarter Prineville took the offensive and in a succession of lino plunges and end runs advanc ed the ball to Bend's two yard line only to lose it on downs. Bend promptly kicked to safety. The end f tha half found the ball once more in Bend's territory. The kick off beginning the second half spelled the beginning of the end for the mill city. Brosius kicked high allowing plenty of time for the team to go down on under the ball. The runner was downed on the 10 yard line. Prineville held for 3 downs, forcing Bend to punt. The punt was a poor offering, Wei jrand running it back to Bend's 20 yard line. Lawson and Lister ad vanced the ball to the 7 yard line on series of plunges and off tackle runs, Lawson carrying it the last seven yards for a touchdown. Brosius kicked goal, making the score 7 to 0. After the touchdown Bend came back str6ng, but found the Prineville defense impregnable. The fourth quarter passed with Bend vainly attempting to get with in striking distance of the Prineville goal. The final whistle found the iall in the center of the field and in Bond's possession. The game was replete throughout with thrills. Gains on both sides were frequent and large. Lawson and Bob Lister staring for the home eleven and Stover and Erskine for the mill city. In one department of the game, only, was the Prineville eleven out classed and that was in tackling, where their lack of prac tice showed up plainly.

This was decided upon by the court this afternoon during their regular December meeting, the most important busi ness of which is arranging the tax business for the county. Four mills of the total levy which will amount to some $33,000.00 will be paid to the state as the county's share of that tax. One of the features that should be considered in connection with this levy is the faet that while the county debt was estimated nt some $100,000.00 last year, it was found by the new court that the actual amount of the debt was about $130, 000.00 That debt has been reduced by the present court to about $60, 000.00 and the plan is to eliminate it entirely during the coming year. The work of the court will proba bly be completed for the term to morrow.

Hi MEETING AT REDMOM) Program Being Prepared for State Meeting VITAL ISSUES ARE CONSIDERED Secretary Wallace Issues Call For Central Oregon Large Attendance Wanted The fifth annual meeting of the Oregon Irrigation Congress will be held at the Imperial Hotel in Port land on December 28, 29 and 30. and at this session many matters of importance will arise that will be of special interest to Crook and Jefferson counties. The three days that the Congrew will be in session will be largely taken up with gener al matters and local interests are liable to not get the careful atten tion that they deserve. In order to eliminate this, so far as possible, it has been deemed best to call a meet ing of the commercial and irriga tion organizations of Crook and Jefferson counties, prior to the meeting, of the Congress, in order that all matters can be gone over and a general plan outlined. Upon the request of several or ganizations it has been decided to call a meeting to be held at Red mond on Saturday, December 11, at two o'clock p. m. .Each, organiza tion is entitled to a representative of five delegates to this meeting and it is earnestly hoped that the full delegation will be present., COMMUNITYCHRISTMAS The interest in the Community Christmas has spread and grown beyond our fondest hopes.
