ALL-STARS WIN THANKSGIVING
Bend U Coming to Prineville
Sunday for Revenge Help
the Buy Win
Thankhgiving, Bund football fans
fur tlio third time this season saw
their hopes of victory over Prine
ville, go glimmering, when their
much touted all star eleven went
down to defeat before the local ag
gregation. 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.

CROOK COUNTY LEVY
IS26MILLS FOR 1916
This Amount Set by County
Court this Afternoon
TWO KILLS HIGHER THAN 1915
Debt of County has Been Re
duced $70,000 by the
Present Court
Crook county will pay taxes next
year on a levy of 26 mills which is
two mills higher than the levy of
ths current year. 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. Dramatics at Club

Than $700 in Value Can
didates Are Busy
Just three weeks remain in which
to assist your favorite candidate in
winnng her share of the $700 worth
of prizes which the Journal will
award on Christmas eve.
While the candidates and their
friends have been unusually busy
during the week, there is but little
change in the standing of the vari
ous contestants for the reason that
it is said that many are holding out
votes to be used during the final
rush of the campaign
Various rumors have been circu
lated during the week but little
credit should be given any of them
for'the reason that they are often
intended to discourage those who
are working in the contest.
There is not a moment to lose
in the work of securing new sub
scribers now, for it looks like a
close finish for at least five or six of
the candidates,
Standing of the candidates today

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. It has
reached Culver and a member of
their committee has visited Prine
ville to secure information and
methods of proceedure for carrying
out a community Christmas in our
neighboring county seat town. Cul
ver, we wish you success.
The committees in our own town
are at work and will be ready to
make partial reports at our meeting
of the representative delegates of all
the organizations in Prineville.
This meeting is to be held this week,
on Friday evenin, at 7.30 p. m., at
the Club Hall. Don't fail to be
there. We need your cooperation
and your support. Give the com
munity idea a boost whenever you
can. We are getting favorable re
potts from some of the organiza
tions, especially lodges. You will
want to be in this when the time
comes. Act now, and be ready then
to enjoy the best Chistmas that
Prineville ever had.
