THIS PAPER REPRESENTED FOR FOREIGN ADVERTISING BY THE GENERAL OFFICES NEW YORK AND CHICAGO 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.

L 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.

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. 1 ) J.
