Clean Up and Paint Up it
Plan to Be Followed
PART Of NATIONAL MOVEMENT
Business Men, Paint Dealer,
Commercial Club and
Other Will Help
Prineville is to have a clean-up
campaign thnt will miikc the town
shine like a 1916 dollar.
The matter was submitted in a
ti native form to the members of
the Commercial Club who attended
the luncheon on Friday, and a com
mittee of which W. F. King is
chairman, was apMinted to take
the matter up ami devise plans for
the campaign.
A meeting of those most interest
ed was held Monday evening, and
plans for the campaign were dis
cussed. It is a well known and notorious
fact that many of the buildings in
the city have not been pairfted for
many years, and as Prineville is the
oldest town in this part of the state
the fact is even more noticeable by
those who are residents of, or fre
quent v'sitors in the newer towns.
But this is to be all changed.
Prineville Is to be painted from
the Commercial Club building on
down the line to the smallest re.si-1
dencc. None are to escape the del
uge. Although the prices of painting
materials are somewhat higher thnn!hH!i ,..t.n a warm one, ami meetings
the normal, indications are that;
they will go much higher yet. and !
may be far above the present prices j
for ears.
The stocks of the local dealers
were purchased before the maxi
mum raises came, and by prompt
action new supplies can be had for
the coming campaign before the
sharp advances which are .predict
ed by all who know the situation,
Jake effect.
A committee has already been
appointed by the Chautauqua as
sociation and others will be ap
pointed from the various bodies of
tho town to assist in the campaign,
which will be one of clean-up,
paint-up and repair, planned to
make the city much more present
able for the Chautauqua and the
fair which will be held during the
summer and fall.
While the plans have not been
fully developed, they will be pre
sented to the Journal readers next
week, and it is thought the cam
paign will be well under way early
next month.
Dancing Party Last Night
The card and dancing party given
by tho Ladies Annex at the Club
last night was well attended and
was seemly as much enjoyed by the
older as well as the younger guests.
Cards were played in the Annex
but the lure of the music up-stairs
Boon had everyone there enjoying a
vory pleasant social evening.

The new hall is 23x72 feet, and

the bills, and a large number of
people will no doubt be present.

fully discussed at the meeting to
morrow, which will be held at Mrs.

CIRCUIT JUDGE DUFFY
Judge Duffy held his second term
of Circuit Court here last week and
dispatched business in a way that
was most satisfactory to the tax
payers of the county. The total
cost of this term of court was but
$733.20 and there was paid into the
court in fines, the sum" of $225,
leaving the actual cost of the en
tire term at $508.20.
This not only speaks well for the
citizenship of the county, but also
shows that the judge knows how to
dispatch business at least expense
to the county. Judge Duffy has
made a number of trips to Culver
prior to the convening of court so
that all cases might be put at issue
and no time lost during the term.
His action in this particular was
largely responsible for the low cost
of the term. Deschutes Valley

Large Crowd Attended the
Opening Game
PRINEVILLE BATTERY IS GOOD
Return Game Will Be Played at
Bend Sunday Prineville
Team Confident
Prineville 8, Bend 6.
' This is the story, briefly told, of
the opening game which was played
on Davidson field Sunday.
Taken altogether the game was a
better exhibition of the national
sport than Bend has been able to
give in the past, which fact was
due to Tetherow being in the box
for the visitors.
The game started with Bend
plainly in the advantage, Tetherow
pitching faultless ball, and the
Prineville men fanning as fast
onto third in the first two innings.
and in the third two scores were
made by the visitors.
At the close of the fourth no
other results had been obtained,
and it seemed that Bend might eas -
ily win. In the fifth however,
something happened. Many things'
happened in fact, and happened so
quick that before the visitors re -
that a general merry - go -
had been started, five men

plate for Prineville. and two others,
weie caught near that point. Score :
2-5. In the next half the visitors !
rallied and made three runs. Their j
spirit was broken however, and it '
was clearly Prineville's game, they
adding three to their score in the
last half of the sixth.
Bend made another score in the
seventh, but there were no results
obtained by either team after that
inning.
Batteries for Prineville were
Burdon and Albee; for Bend, Teth
erow and O'Donnell.
Burdon pitched faultless ball and
Albee's work was excellent. The
remainder of the team supported
the batteries ably, although the
game was far from being free from
errors, due to lack of practice.
The game was umpired ably by
Dr. Davis, assisted by Chas. Erskine
Ion bases.
Ji return game will be played at j
Bend, Sunday next.
PRINEVILLE DEFEATED
BEND ON ALLEYS, TOO
The inevitable hapjened Satur
day evening. The bowlers of the
local Club defeated the Bend team
in every department of the series,
allowing not a single game, to be
won by the visitors. The singles
were won by Jake Johnson who also
made the high score of 218 for the
evening. Osborn and Rosenberg
captured the doubles and after the
five-man team had finished over
600 pins was the margin of victory.

Only About 3300 Voter
Register for Primaries.
G. 0. P. LEADING BY TWO TO ONE
Western Half of County Strongly
RepublicanRatio About 3
io 4 in East Half.
There are only about 3336 voter3
registered Jforthe primaries which
will be held next month. The ex
act figure is not available because
of the heavy volume of work that
is being cared for in the office of
the County Clerk at this time, but
unofficially the number is a few
less than the figure mentioned
above.
Approximately 2200 of the num
ber are republicans, and 1050 are
'democrats, while more than 100
people registered as members of the
smaller parties.
At least two-thirds of the voters
are men, the ratio being nearer
even in the towns than in the
country districts. Registiation of
the feminine population of Bend
was very light however.
More voters receive their mail at
Bend than any other point. The
registration gives 1073 for Bend,
752 for Prineville, 337 for Red
mond and the remainder of the
county but 8(59, which means that
more voters reside in or near Bend
than in all the remainder of the
county combined excepting the
other two towns mentioned, also
that Bend will poll as many votes
as both Prineville and Redmond
combined, or about one third of
the total vote.
At Prineville there are 432 re
publicans, 306 democrats and 32
miscellaneous, 496,of the number
being men and 274 women voters.
Mrs. Collins Elkins
Has Arm Fractured
The Club was the scene of a very
painful accident last night, when
Mrs. Cojlins Elkins fractured her
arm, by a bad fall on the bowling
alley. Mrs. Elkins was engaged in
a bowling contest with several
ladies and just after throwing a
ball, slipped and fell with her
weight upon the right arm which
was broken a few inches above the
wrist. Physicians were' hurriedly
called and the patient removed to
her home, where anaesthetics were
administered and the broken limb
set. At last reports Mrs. Elkins
was recovering as well as could be
expected.
