Cool, Hard Work Get ReiulU
for Prineville, Winning Over
Heavier Team.
Prineville 13, Itend 0.
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.

JtCame Wpon tljf Jtlibnfgbt ,
It came upon the midnight clear
That glorious song of old
From Bngi-ls bending near the earth,
To touch their harps of gold,
"1'cucnon the enrth, good will to men,
From heaven's all-gracious king,"
The world in solemn stillness lay
To hoar the angels sing.
Still thru the cloven skies they came,
With pesceful wings unfurled
And still their heavenly muiic floats
O'er all the weary world,
A hofe its sad snu lowly plains
They bend on hovering wing,
And ever o'er its iiabel sounds,
The blessed angels sing.
For lo! the days are hastening on
liy prophet brands foretold.
When with the ever circling years
Comes round the age of gold.
When peace shall o'er ail the esrth
Its ancient splendors fling.
And the world send back the song,
Which now the angels sing.

There's a song in the air!
There's a song in the sky!
There's a mother's deep prayer
And a baby's low cry!
And the star rains its Are
While the beautiul sing.
For the manger of Bethlehem
Cradles a king.
There's a tumult of joy
O'er the wonderful birth,
ror the Virgin a sweet boy
Is the Lord of the earth.
Ay! the star rains the fire
lile the beautiful sing
For the manger of Bethlehem
Cradles a king.
We rejoice in the light,
And we echo the song
That comes down through the night
rrom the heavenly throng.
Ay! we shout to the lovely,
Evangel they bring
And we greet in his cradle
Our Saviour and king.
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.

Gilmore had been working for
Field, and came to Claypool & Co.,

ed a bill of groceries at each palce,
and presented a check for each
