Written Opinion Submitted
to Mayor Stewart. .
CHOOSE PARTS OFTWO SURVEYS
Recommend that Road Be Built
on North Side of River to
Barnes Ranch.
The opinion (if engineers W. E.
Iturklialtcr and II. J. Huberts, Llie
former of the S. P. & S. Railway
.system ami the latter of the O.-W.
R. It. & N. Company is that the
vnt feasible route fur the con
struction of Prineville's railroad is
on the north side of ("rooked Hiver
to a point near the Thott. Harnes
place where the river should La
bridged und the Burvey followed
down the south side to the main
linen.
In their written opinion which
-was received by Mayor Stewart,
these jfentlemen nay:
"In aceordancu with your request
we have made investigation in
company with yourself and your
city engineer, of the two surveys
that have been made for a railroad
between the town of Prineville and
to a connection with the joint Ore
Kon Trunk and O.-W. R. R. & N.
Co. railroad for the purpose of
assisting you to choose one of the
rouU-a for construction.
. As a result of our investigation
we have agreed that the most feasi
ble and practicable line is one that
would follow the survey along the
south side of Crooked River from
the connection with the railroad
south of Terrebonne to a point east
of the west boundary line of Section
2:), Twp. 14-S.. Range 15-E. and
below tne mouth of the Ochoco
River, where a crossing should be
made of the Crooked River; thence
following in general way the sur
vey along the north side ' of the
Crooked River to Prineville.
We attach hurewith maD illus
trating the two surveys, and we
have shown by means of full red
line, where it appeared to us was
the most. 1 feasible location for the
Crooked River crossing. Tho ex
act location, however, was to be
further investigated by your engi
neer. Mr. Kelley.
Our decision as to tho proper
route was made without the know
ledge ot what arrangements, if any,
had been made for right of way,
maintenance, or operation of the
line after it was constructed and
was based only upon inspection of
the ground, profiles, and maps.
Furthermore, it is in accordance
with what we would have reported
to our Chief Engineers if it had
been contemplated that cither or
both of tho Railroad' Companies
which we represent was to con
struct the line at their expense
and without any outside assistance.
In accordance with your request
we have left out of consideration
for the present, the question as to
whether the connections with the
xisting railroad as now surveyed
were made at the proper point."
A flag presentation ceremony,
conducted by Sons of the American
Revolution was held today when a
flag was presented to Circuit Judge
Duffy, to be used in the naturaliz
ation ceremonies in his court.
The LadieB Aid will meet Juno

PRINEVILLE AT BAT
The hoodoo sign seemed to have
worked overtime on Manager Jor
dan's ball chasers last week for they
lost a 3-1 game to the Paulina
bushers. The team went to Paul
ina the morning of election day
and the altitude, hard ride, or
perhaps the manager being anxious
about election returns.'accounts for
their defeat. Clark pitched an ex
cellent game for Prineville but his
support was nil, each run against
him being on errors. Paulina
scored their runs in the first and
eighth innings, while the local team
had to stage a rally in the ninth to
save a shutout. Ellis hit, Burdon
doubled and Ellis scored later on
an error. With two out and the
bases full Burdon was caught try
ing to steal home. The cold
weather has put a ban on practice
during the last week and these de
feats need not waver the fan's con
fidence in their ability.
The team will play at Culver
next Sunday and the two days fol
lowing a nine from The Dalles will
comprise an invading force. We
predict that the boys will show the
old time pep and give the visitors
a thorough trimming.

'Your Source of Supply Wa
Not Legitimate or You
Would Tell' '-Wirtz.
Because he refuses to give the
officers information regarding the
source of his liquor supply, Frank
McManus of Bend, is in the county
jail. McManus is the first person
who has been held in Crook county
on such a charge since the dry law
went into effect January 1. All
other persons who have been ar
rested ith "contraband" in their
possession and where there has
been no record as to where it came
from have given the stereotyped
answer that "it was left over from
the first of the year." Such re
plies, say the authorities, are much
over worked, especially since "the
first of the year" is getting more
remote hourly.
District Attorney Wirtz says that
McManus is the "go-between" for
others who are directing a system
atic campaign of bootlegging in
Bend, which has been conducted
only on a small scale to-date but
which has shown symptoms of
growth. McManus - fs the " -first
strangle-hold that the officers have
been able to get on the situation,
and since he will not inform, must
take the consequences of the situ
ation. McManus was arrested by Officers
Nixon and Kulp of Bend on elec
tion day. He had a quart of whis
key in his possession, which the
officers say he was about to deliver
to J. W. Hamilton a colored man
of Bend.
District Attorney Wirtz has also
placed a charge against him of
soliciting, taking and receiving
orders for intoxicating liquors and
he will be tried on that charge
this afternoon before a jury in the
local justice's court.
REDMOND IS FIRST
IN FIELDDAY EVENTS
The Fifth Annual Field Day, for
county schools, held at Redmond
Saturday, May 20. was won by the
Redmond High School with a three
point margin over the C. C. H. S.
Redmond 52, Prineville 49 and
Bend 82. The meet itself was the
best managed, largest attended and
more closely contested than any
presented in the county to-date.
In speaking of Redmond's victory,
they won in an uphill contest
against heavy competition and de
serve all credit for the first defeat
of the C. C. H. S. The fact of this
defeat will instill greater interest
and better preparation for next
year's events. The boys of the local
school lost through lack of training
because past meets were easily won.
Frank Brosius was the individual
star of the meet and his gameness
and ability was the one redeeming
feature of Prineville's defeat. He
won five firsts, two ' seconds and
the medal for highest number of
points, making 28, or over half of
his school's total.
The C. C. H. S. had led to the
last event when Redmond by win
