ice cream and cake was served and
while the guests were at refresh

the petal age of which a word was
found written on a slip of paper.
These words, when gathered and
put into verse by Miss Goldie
Wagner, another bride-elect, read
as follows:
Some time soon,
Perhaps in May,
Alta will be married
And so will Ray.

PRINEVILLE MAIL
Thirteen Trips per Week the
Department Decides
WILL BE EFFECTIVE AT ONCE
Contractor Hunsaker Will Carry
Mail Twice Each Way Daily
Over River Road
I'rincvillle has been allotted two
mails daily each way from the rail
road, by the postolTice department,
according to a long telegram re
ceived by the Journal, direct from
Washington.
This service has been delayed
somewhat because of the effort of
the department and the committee
to have the mails routed in such a
manner as to give the best service
to the greatest possible number of
patrons, between this point and
Redmond.
There are yet some details to be
arranged and for the present the
trips will all be made over what is
commonly called the river road,
but a little later, a part of them
will be over one of the other roads
between these points.
The new service will be supplied
by Contractor Hunsaker, and will
consist of thirteen trips each way
weekly or twice each day excepting
Sunday, -
FATAL TRAINWRECK ON
i. W. Stimpson. brakeman , and
Lew Raster, fireman, were killed in
a wreck on the O-W. R. & N.
Shaniko branch Thursday night.
Alfred Williamson, engineer, was
horribly burned, but will recover.
The wreck w as caused by a derail
ment of an extra freighr. two and
one half miles east of the station of
Biggs. Fireman Kaster was so bad
ly injured that he died immediately
after the victims had reached the
station. Dr. Covert, who attended
the injured men said Engineer
Williamson, though painfully scald
ed, would recover.
Brakeman Stimpson died instant
ly, being crushed under the engine.
Brakeman A. B. Strong was slightly
injured, though his injuries did not
incapacitate him from assisting in
the rescue work.
No reason for the derailment has
yet been assigned. The track was
badly torn up and evidences of the
cause are, therefore, difficult to
ascertain.
Rev, J. D. Springston of Port
land, will hold a Sunday school
institute at the Baptist church
beginning Friday afternoon and
lasting over Sunday, March 17, 18
and 19. Rev. Springston is sent
out by the American Baptist Publi
cation Society and has something
good for all who will attend these
services.

PRINEVILLE CHAUTAU-
JULY 3 TO 8
The date for the Prineville
Chautauqua has been set for July
3 to 8 inclusive. This will be an
excellent substitute for the old time
celebration, and at tne same time
provide a week of entertainment
and educational feature of the first
order. Commence now to plan
your affairs so that you can take a
week off and see every one of these
first class numbers. It is a treat that
has never been offered in Prineville
before, one that puts this city on a
par with the best communities in
the United States so far as 'educa
tion and entertainment features are
concerned.
It is the best and absolutely the
only way that such talent can be
presented to the people in any rural
community, and the people of the
Prineville country will appreciate
the fact without question.
AT
More than 100 men attended the
monthly smoker at the Commercial
Club last night. Besides the usual
games and various forms of amuse
ments there were several boxing
matches that were greatly enjoyed
by those present.
The principal event of the even
ing was a match between John
Dobry and H. Hamilton, which went
for four rounds, and resulted in a
draw.
Other bouts that were even faster
and almost as interesting as this one
were matches between Lister and
Skein, Jones and Wright, and Still
and Claypool.
There are some surprises in store
for members at the next monthly
smoker.
Services as usual at theMethodiot

BOY SCOUTS HOLD
T ANNUAL MELT
GuesU Are Mayor, Council
men and Citizens
MEET IN THE COUNCIL ROOMS
Visitor Are Given Entertain
ment of Various Kinds
and Refreshments
The Boy Scouts of America cele
brated the first anniversary of their
organization in Prineville last Tues
day evening. ' The program and all
the invitations were looked after
by the boys. They had a program
of various stunts, barrel tilting,
boxing,' wrestling, badger pulling,
addresses, funny stories, and in
teresting talks of the work and value
of the Boy Scout movement. Among
the guests invited were the parents
of the boys, the City Council, and
friends and relatives. The boys
served sandwiches, cake and cocoa.
A vote of thanks was extended to
the members of the Council present
for their hearty cooperation and
presence. This was responded to by
remarks from Mayor Stewart, and
two members of the council, Mr.
Foster and Mr. Shipp, commending
the boys and pledging continued
and increased interest for their
work the coming year. One of the
amusing features of the evening
was a boxing match between Mr.
Ramsey, Scoutmaster of the Troop,
and Dr. Gove, the Assistant Scout
master. Referee R. W. Zevely pro
nounced the bout a draw. At a late
hour the company sang "America,"
and went home with the hiss and
boom of the Skyrocket yell ringing
in their ears.
HOW IS YOUR LIVER
OR DOYOU KNOW
Harry P. Wilson of Redmond, the
man who made such a hit in an
amateur play which was presented
under his direction a short time ago
at the opera house here, will appear
tonight with a cast of Redmond
people in what will perhaps be tbe
best play that has y et been presented
in this city this year.
The play was given at Redmond
recently, and a number of Prine
ville people who attended, vouch
for the fact that it is a scream from
start to finish.jThe title itself, "How
Is Your liver or Do You Know,"
suggests something of the play and
the fact that Mr. Wilson is present
ing the play, supported by the peo
ple who accompany him here is suffi
cient to guarantee its absolute
success.
The prices, 25, 35 and 50 cents,
are within reach of every one and
that the house will be packed to
the doors goes without saying.
A new surface has been placed
on the bowling alleys at the Com
mercial Club, which greatly inv
proves their appearance and value.
