THE JOURNAL ADDS
The Journal plant has this week
added an Omaha improved
folding machine. It is made for,
is attached to, and becomes a part
of the large Potter press which is
used in printing the papers, and
folds and delivers them in neat and
regular bunches just as fast as they
are printed, and with the same
operation.
This machine is the latest and
best thing made in its class, and
makes the work of issuing the largo
numbers of papers much lighter,
and eliminates mistakes which are
sure too occur when ' folding by
hand is practiced. , t

PRINEVILLE TEAM
Lamonta, Second in Interior,
Not on a Par with Locals
TEAK WORK WINS FOR C. C . H. Si
Score of 17-13 Resulted After i
Series of Hard Plays by which '
Visitors Were Defeated
Lamonta's basketball team in
spick-and-span uniforms of maroon
and gold, gave the C. C. H. S. boys
the hardest tussel for victory that
they have had this se. son. The score,
17-13 indicates just how uncertain
the outcome wsa, and this phase
of the contest contributed to the
intense enjoyment of a large and
excited audience.
The game started with a rush
and the spirit of both teams lent to
the rougher element. The guards '
smothered their men so thoroughly
that shots were tried repeatedly and
of these, Yancey, playing for La
monta. secured some beauties.
By a series of rushes Lamonta
tied the score in the last half but
was unable to advance further
igainst the wall of defense behind
which the locals flashed the winning
baskets. Brosius scored the greatest
number of points for the High
School.
All churches and all Granges of
the State are being notified of the
coming convention of the Laymen's
Missionary Movement, to be held at
the White Temple in Portland, . Feb

NOW 1STHE TIME TO
EXTERMINATE RABBITS
Thousands Are Being Killed
While Snowbound
HARNEY CO. IS PAYING BOUNTY
Stockmen Find that They Can
Kill More Rabbits Now than
V Any Other Season ,
Now is the farmer's opportunity
to get action on the jackrabbit pest.
An hour spent each day now will
mean many dollars next summer in
the crops and ranges for the stock,
and in the Bear Creek country, and
in fact many parts of the county
the people have already discovered
the ease with which the bunnies
may be exterminated.
They collect around the feedlots
and stackyards by the hundreds
and a rabbit tight fence about the
haystacks fixed with one or more
openings which can be quickly
closed, or a small V shaped opening
through which they can crowd from
the outside only will, serve to collect
them in large quantities and they
can be disposed of at will.
Harney county has been paying
a bounty on rabbits during the past
year, and as the matter is timely
in Crook County, and the discussion
is started here we reproduce an
article which appeared in the Burns
paper last week. It seems that the
matter of a bounty is one that
shoud be seriously considered by
the court, and that should a bounty
be ordered in the court, the non
resident land owner would be forced
tp stand a part of tie losses and cost
of developing the land, which is but
right. ,

your paper of January 8, regarding

Support for Hatchery
in Central Oregon
The State Fish and Game Com
mission recently voted 1400 for im
provements at the Bend Fish hatch-
ery on recommendation of Superin
tendent of Hatcheries. Clanton
Tlii? amount will be used in enlarg
ing the ditch bringing water from
the r'ver to the ponds and the en
largement of the ponds themselves.
Last year they proved very inade
quate and an unsatisfactory record
was made. With assurance of high
water this summer and with better
ponds for feeding the trout afte
hatching, the commission feels that
excellent results can be obtained.
The eggs used at Bend will be
brought from the Odell station.
Operation of the hatchery to its full
capacity is assured.
city dads Take :
DRASTIC ACTION
If you live in Prineville and if
you have a dog, you will be requir
ed to pay the regulation dog tax
during the current month, or ex
plain the reason why, to Recorder
Hyde. .
Such were the instructions of the
council to the Marshal at the regu
lar Monday evening meeting. This!
ordinance has been ignored until itj
is considered an honor to slip by
and not pay the city. The council
decided that such should not be the
case, and no doubt they mean what '
they say' ' l '
The meeting was . a very quiet
one, a barequomrn being present.
Councilman Sftipp' acted as mayor'
in the adsence of Mayor Steward,
Councilmen Wallarce, Reams, and
Foster being the remaining members
present. ,
The Christian church was granted
permission - to hold some
of their Sunday school classes in
the city chambers, the church being
too small to accomodate their grow
ing classes.
Bills allowed at this time were:
W .F. King Co., ' $61.00
Journal, 4.80
Stratira Biggs, 30.0Q
W.J.Smith. 380
E. O. Hyde, 1Q,Q

The rabbit war goes merrily on.
The Club now has a membership
of twenty-three members and a
fund of $123.00 to carry on the
light. The territory covered by this
Club represents one fourth of the
taxable property in the precinct,
yet the .money raised in a few
minutes by the few members of the
Club amounts to as much as a levy
of one and one tenth mills on the
assessed valuation of the whole pre
cinct. A levy of one and one tenth
mills on the assessed valuation of
the County would raise $12,722.00,
which if expended for bounty . at
five cents each would accomplish
the destruction of 254,000 rabbits.
If it costs as much to feed 150
raouits per year as it does to feed
one cow, and who will doubt it,
then the feed that this 254,000
rabbits consume would keep 1,600
head ol cattle. Which will pay the
best, the rabbits or the cattle? '

Race for Representative Will Be

Out for Coroner
The political pot has commenced
to boil in a manner that indicates
a lively political campaign, with an
abundance of material for the voter
to choose from.
While the candidates that are
known to be in the field have not
all announced themselves, there are
a goodly number in the running
and a large quota that are known
to be in a receptive mood.
The increased voting strength of
Bend is putting a new look on the '
situation. Just how strong this
vote will be, and just what it will
decide to do is a question in the
minds of the county politicians and
the rumor, which seems to be well
formed and is no doubt true, that "
Bend will have a complete ticket
which will receive solid support
from that community, is surely
worth the consideration of the
wisest of them.
" The matter of county division
which has been in , the minds of
these people for years, will no, doubt
be a factor in the campaign, and -a
big one. Men of prominence
from all the various parts of the
county are said to be in favor of

REVIVAL MEETINGS
TO CLOSE SUNDAY
The great Revival Meetings at the
Christian Chuch continue with un
abated interest. More than fifty
people responded to the invitation ,
last week. On Sunday, twenty-three
answered the call of their Savior.
The total number responding to the
Invitation has reached 114. So great
was the interest manifested on the
part of men and women who were
not members of the Church that the
Evangelists decided to continue an- '
other week. This is proving to be
no mistake for on Monday evening
about 250 people listened intently
to the Gospel message.
The meetings can not be de
scribed. You will have to attend
to know anything about it. Mr.
Kellems has been kind, earnest and
convincing. You simply cannot
afford to miss this last week of the
series. Every night, closing Sunday.
Another great men's meeting
will be held in the Lyric Theatre
next Sunday afternoon at three
o'clock. This time we expect the
men to beat the women in crowd.
It will have to be a crowded house
to do it.

first of the week for Portland.
