the reply that is received from Car
ran.u who has a number of Ameri
can soldiers as prisoners. It is
naii hy sonic that hi ha.i already
refused to release these men and
slmuld he du no, war will of course

While the reply from the Mexi
can lender in awaited, troop train
arc being rushed to the border,
Jinvintt right of way over all rail
way line, where all regular trains
arc being sidetracked for Uncle
Sum's men to pass.
A number of trains have lift
Oregon's camp at Clackamas al
ready, other arc leaving today and
by the last of the week, all the
companies of the 0. N. G. will be
rolling toward the border.
Oregon troop are first to be
muttered in this time a in the
Spanish American War, were first
to start to the front, a in the
former war.
So far as we are able to learn,
more men signed for service a
United State volunteer in Prine
ville in the same length of time
than in any community of several
times its size, Hi having been
signed here in about three hours.
A strict censorship is being main
tained by the United States govern
ment as to the numbers of troops,
but it is estimated that no less than
100,000 men will be on the border
by the end of the week.
Engagements are reported at
different points along the border,
dispatches today stating that a tcr
riflie battle took place on Mexican
soil just recently.
Two new Buiek automobiles were
stolen from the Inland Auto
Company recently and have, in all
probability, been taken into Cana
da or at least some state that is a
long way from Oregon.
Two sheepmen, Frank and Ralph
Jamison, came to the Inland garage
and bought a new ear each, one a
seven passenger machine, the other
a five, paid a reasonable payment
on them, and signed contracts to
the effect that they would pay the
remaining $2100 or more when
they sold their wool which they
said would be in a few days.
The investigation of their affairs
reveals the fact that the wool was
heavily mortgaged and has since
been taken over by parties who
held the lein, the Inland people
state also, the sheep and other pro
perty. Other facta lead to a furth
er Inquiry. This took time which
gave tho Jamisons coniderable of a
'. start before it was realized that
they were gone. . '-
Several hundred circulars have
"been mailed to officers of the law
, throughout the northwest and they
will no doubt - be apprehended. A
reward of (100 is offered for their
arrest Or .for the recovery of the
cars.

defeating the locals.
All players who are members of
visiting teams will be admitted to

Less Than Half Day Required
to Raise Half a Company.
JAY H. UPTON CAPTAIN OF CO.
Thos. Sharp, Jr., Second Lieu
tenant Company Probably
Be Complete this Week.
When the United States calls for
volunteers to go into Mexico, which
it will perhaps do within ten days
unless some change develops, a
regimftit of men will be made up
in Oregon, one company of which
will go from Prineville. The regi
ment, is being signed as rapidly as
possible through companies in
many parts of the state, and Colo
nel C. U. Gaptenbein who will com
mand, .Lopes to have it up to war
strength by the time the call comes.
The Prineville company, which
will be composed Of not less than
80 men with the maximum limit at
145, will be commanded by Captain
Jay H. Upton, who like Colonel
Gantenbein, is a' veteran of the
Spanish-American War, and Second
Lieutenant of the company will be
Thomas Sharp, Jr., who has also
seen service.
Ten men had signed the books
before they had been open an hour
yesterday afternoon, and from the
number of inquiries that are being
received, it is apparent that the
company will reach its maximum
strength soon.
Men from all parts of Crook and
Jefferson counties, as well as Lake
and Grant are invited to join this
company.
These men will not be called into
active service until a call is isued,
which from recent developments
looks to be in the near future.
Married men arc discouraged by
the officers, yet none' will be re
fused a place if they wish to go.
The only questions that most of
the men ask are about how soon
they can get started to Mexico. All
expenses of travel and equipment
will be paid by the government' in
cluding fare to Portland when the
call issues.
Men should be under 35 years of
age and in good health. They will
be required to pass a medical ex
amination. 'It is quite probable that the vol
unteers will see service before the
companies of the Oregon National
Guard, which are already on their
way to the border.
The names of Prineville men who
have signed for service are:
Jay H. Upton, J. G. Malech,
C. C. Hyde. C. O. Pollard, John
Dobry, Walter Manion, F. E. Can
trell, P. Harris, R. L. Reynolds,

DOLLAR WEEK SET FOR"
JULY 3 TO 8, TOO
Thirty Business. Houses Of
fer Specialties.
ALL GOODS ARE THE BEST
Everything You Want May Be
Bought at Prices Unequaled
Anywhere.
One of the strongest attractions
that any town can offer its custom
ers is a dollar week.
The custom has been followed
for some time in various parts of
the country, but Prineville is the
first town in interior Oregon to
take up the plan and as is charac
teristic of Prineville merchants it
has been worked' out in detail. i
Every business place in the city
has special inducements for the
week. These include staple articles
of all kinds. Flour, lard, soap,
groceries of all kinds, clothing
specials and everything in the cata
log in fact, will be sold according
to the plans worked out by the
merchants, and a price that repre
sents as little as fifty per cent of
actual values.
All of the goods are standard,
many of the merchants having
bought ,new stocks for use during
the sale.
Every business house will have
its Dollar . Week specials on display
Monday morning . and anyone who
contemplates purchasing a bill of
goods soon will make money by
looking these specials over.
Don't forget however that the
stores and shops will all close from
2:15 until after the afternoon pro
gram at the Chautauqua tent. That
program is a good one every day,
and as the business men brought it
here, they of course wish to attend
them all. Open until 7:15- each
evening.
RRIGATION AT RIGHT
TIME BRINGS RESULTS
The necessity for irrigation
water is often not fully appreciated
even by those who already own
creek water rights. A water right
which assures a supply of irrigation
water only until about June first,
in average years, is apt to be a
good deal of an aggravation be
cause it enables its owner to raise
only part of a crop, and sometimes
even that is burned up before it
properly mftures.
Tiie trouble is not due to the
small quantity of water put on the
land under the present rights,' but
to the fact that such as is put on
must all go on before the creek
supply dies out about June first. A
water right to be of greatest value,
should enable its owner to get
water in proper quantity at any
time during the growing season.
This he cannot do when only the
seasonal flow of tle various creeks
is used.
In other words the man who
owns a creek water right, under
present conditions only receives the
benefits from a very small part of a
real water right., j ,,
By the construction of ' the
storage reservoirs contemplated by
the Ochoco District, these, creek
water, rights will in a sense, be
finally v perfected in as much as a
majority of the ; owpers thereof
will, foK the first time, receive the
