Again hiui Bend been taught the lewon that Prineville can do things on the gridiron, and the game that resulted in the above wore was per haps the greatest surprize that they have yet received at the hands of the local men. The closing .quarter of the 'Ihanka- giving game at Bend left the im pression that PrineviUe's light team, mx-.t of which were from the regu lar high school eleven, had broken down, and they figured that with strengthening and practice Prineville would be an easy victim at the re turn game. Anin they failed to reckon with PrineviUe's spirit of winning and the ability of Coach Lawson. While the local lineup was composed of high school -boys with a few excep tions the team work was even better tian in previous games, and a liumb T of new plays and combina tions were tried out on the clevm from the mill city that were too much for them to comprehend un til after it was too late. The game started with a rush, but after the first two or three minutes it was evident that it would be evenly contested for the greater part of the game at least. The first half showed no result, Prineville having somewhat the better of the battle if any odds were shown. The plays were again switched by Lawson in the third quarter, and this visibly worried Bend. Early In this period Prine viUe's liirht team repeatedly com menced a combination of line-buck' ing that shoved Bend s ton or men back down the field from one to four yards at a time. The last ten rrinutes of the game came, without a score, but Bend was fightlnr a desperato defensive battle, and losing ground every minute. By a combination of plays, and cool headwork Prineville neared the goal in good, hard, Btraight drives. The crowd grew frantic, and catch ing the spirit the local eleven, with one concerted effort demoralized Bend's defense for a moment, and Lawson delivered a safe touchdown Brosius kicked a safe goal. The time was growing short and Prineville was determined to repeat the performance just to show the visitors that it was possible. Bend fought hard but every gain was made by Prineville, who battering agaist time, made a second touch down, shoving Robert Lister through a hole in the line at what was considered by Bend as being its strongest point juBt as the judges called time. Kick failed because of gathering dusk. In every football game the people have learned to look for one or more stars. This game was no ex ception. The stars were there, eleven of them but above ail could be seen the master hand of the coach, the spirit of Lawson, who controlled that eleven with the ac curacy and precission of a genius. The Bend men were good loscn, -and were free to admit that they Last Thursday evening, fifteenth anniversary of the mar riage of Mr. and Mrs. F, A.Kowell of this city, more than thirty mem bers anil friends of the Christian Church remembered them in a sur prise party. The guests were walk ing in upon the happy family before they were aware of callers. Follow ing a short program of recitations and music the guesti entertained with poetry written especially for the occasion some of which display ed a real poetic ability. Then each member of the company recited the first piece ever given in school or in public. This proved very interest ing and amusing. At a late hour the crowd unwill ingly sough their own homes and left the two to their thoughts, new wedding presents of crystal, and honeymoon. . . &onc to ?3e ismng at tlje j Coiumunttp (Efjrfetmas tSTree Mails and Road, ME IN COURTHOUSE bet Consideration; Familiurize yourself with the words.

The Prlneville-Redmond road is receiving attention from the county court, the citizens of both towns j and the people living along the road. Under the supervision of com missioner Blanchard the road is be ing straightened and graded up, and the expense is being met one half by the county and the other by the people along the road and in the towns. , This road, as has been in these columns before, is the most used and perhaps the most important In the county, and can b" put into condition at a very nominal expense. Everyone should help muke it the best road in the county. Silent Night! Holy night!

The city treasurer will receive but $100 per year in the future instead of the $25 per month as at present. An ordinance, No. 229, to the above effect was passed at the regu lar meeting of the city council Tuesday evening, and will go into effect the first of the year. The council ordered the marshal to notify property owners in Noble Addition that they would be given just one week in which to repair sidewalks, and all who failed to comply during that time will be ar rested.

A badcheck artist, Bert Gilmore or Harry Hardly by name, invaded I'rineville Thursday evening last week, and succeeded in getting away with about $61 on checks forged on the account of C. A. Field of Post! Gilmore had been working for Field, and came to Claypool & Co., and Stewart & Co., stores; purchas ed a bill of groceries at each palce, and presented a check for each which ho indorsed as Harry Hardly and received his change on the checks. He left saying that he would call the next day for the groceries. When he never called the merchants became Buspicious and investigated. Their man had proceeded to Red mond and bought a ticket for Port land before Sheriff Knox was noti fied. Deputies boarded the train when it arrived in Portland only to find that the man they wanted was too wise, and had dropped off at some other station and apparently made a clean escape.
