f RANCHES IN ALL THE PRINCIPAL CITIES
RIGHT AGAIN.
A number of very important
Ups eonce-ning Prineville's rail-
rj.id were Uken at the council
meeting Tuesday evening and
throughout the meeting the spirit
of harmony and co-operation pre
vailed The council agrees to a man upon
the important issues involved and
the greatest measure of progress is
the result. And what is even more
to the point, the people a-e sup
porting the council as one unit.
All of which demonstrates the fact
that all things are worth while.
Last December it appeared that
there would be little if any import
ant business for the council to per
form during the year, and good
men were induced to run for these
offices with some difficulty. In
faet there was some doubt whether
a full ticket would be in the field
until the last moment almost.
That the people made no mistake
in their selections is now evident.
ENCOURAGING BIRD LIFE.
One of the most worthy move
ments in the United States today is
that one tending to promote an
awakening among children of the
fceauty and preservation of bird
and other wild life.
In a neighboring city an enter
prising business firm recently con
ducted a contest for boys in which
sh prizes were awarded for the
building of bird houses.. Even the
promoters were surprised at the
number of boys entering the con
test, and, every visitor to that
place when the contest was ended
was more than surprised at the
workmanship resulting from the
boys' efforts. The promoters, after
the contest had closed and the
prizes were awarded, offered the
houses for sale and netted a sum
equal or greater than the aggregate
turn offered as prizes.
Needless to say, that city will
this summer have hundreds of well
luilt and ornamental bird houses
that it never would have had only
for the contest put on by that one
enterprising business firm.
Any boy can build a bird house,
.-and every yard in our city should
fcave one or more of them. Water
ing places, too, can be provided,
and when these simple inducements
are offered the birds will come.
Some of us may think that we do
not care whether there is a bird in
the city, but if we have none, we
should miss them just as we miss
many things when they are gone
and cannot be recalled.
DOLLAR WEEK TOO.
Chautauqua week and Dollar
week will be celebrated simultan
eously m Prineville this year, July
3 to 8. Extensive plans are being
jriade by practically every business
rjuse in the city for these events.
Everybody help.

The office of Circuit judge, for
Crook and Jefferson Counties, was
created in 1915, and T. E. J.Duffy,
was apfointed by Governor Withy
combe to fill the position. Although
Judge Duffy register? as a demo
crat it may be noted, that his ap
pointment was made by a republi
can governor, who among a great
! number of people regards such office
1 as nonpartisan. Judge Duffy, en
', tered upon the discharge of the
j duties of such office, giving up hit
private practice of law, to devuts
all of his time to it, and it can be
safely said that he has administeree
such office fairly, impartially and
: in a business like manner. It would
therefore s eem no more than rightd
in view of his record, that he be
nominated and elected to succeed
himself for a further term. Paid

and utilities and that tin? business,
for which they were chartered, be
conducted honestly, without dis
crimination and at reasonable rates.
Rates are higher in Oregon than
those charged on the first railroad
operated by steam and opened to
public traffic.
All merchandise L. C. L. ship
ments on the primitive railroad for
a 25 mile haul was $1.25, on the
O.-W. R. & N. it is $8.13 and on
the Sumpter Valley railroad it is
$13.23. ,
Rates today are the highest in
railroad history, while the cost of
produce, the "ton mile" (the unit
of transportation) is the lowest.
This shows the need of regulation.
Robert Service has had five years
experience as an expert accountant,
16 years of wholesale shipping
business and eight years in the
study and practice of law, almost
exclusively on the subject of "Rail
road Rate Regulation" as shown
by his record.
He stands high in his community
and is considered xjne of the best
qualified men in the state to fill
this position.
X vote tor mm is a vote for the
best interests of the common peo
ple and he would like to serve the
masses one term. His slogan on
the ballot is "Regulate, give a fair
return on honest capital, nothing
on watered stock." Paid Advertisement.
