THE COUNTY SEAT. The fight for the removal of the county seat from Prineville to Bend is on. The facts that lead up to this condition of affairs are many, and it is the popular thinr just now to lay the blame on the other fel low. It seems that everyone is try injar to use thi condition to the ad vantage of his favorite candidate, and the conditions seem to warrant the prediction that the public will have none of this kind of business, and the fellow who attempts to make partisan politics out of a con dition where a community is effect ed, will be crushed in the melee. This is no time for quibbling and petty politics. Prineville as a com-1 iminity faces an organized town ! and community, and its success or failure rests on united and undivitl-j ed action. J The Journal is in a position to j have some ideas as to what caused the present state of affairs, ye edi-1 tor having been an envoy to the j city of the enemy, under sealed orders, as it were, from the com-; mittee which held the fate of Prineville in their grasp, for which i he bas been both praised and cussed heartily and in this connection we j will add, that the matter on which . he was instructed was the only one; considered in talkirig with the. Bend committee, amr that the in-1 terests or the name of no candidate were mentioned at this time or at any other time in connection with this all-important subject, and further that anyone who states the Journal or its editor is placing any thing or any candidate ahead of the all-important county seat removal matter at this time, is either woe fully ignorant of facts and condi tions, or a malicious liar. What might have been done, what could have been done and what we consider the best settle ment of these matters is not to be considered or as much as mentioned ! now. There are plainly two issues in this election. The one is the selec tion of county candidates. This is a matter of the choice of the voters vherever they may be. The other is the county seat matter and j on that every voter in this part of! the county, and everyone in any other part with a spirit of fairness! in his heart will vote as a solid ! unit. . ! The success of la.it week's Chau-, tauqua shows the wisdom and strength of unity. If you arc a resident of Prineville, lineup, r' get out and give room for a good j man who will. The man who yelis the loudest and makes the mo.st fuss, is often tiie man who does the lea.it for the community. We nave heard a lot of good talk recently about getting together, and this is the best time in the world to do it. Victor Murdock said after he left Prineville, "Those people have a most wonderful community, a vei bright future and they don't know it." In this statement Mr, Murdock is only partly right. There is no question about the merits of the community and the city itself, and we do know and realize this and the result of this campaign will be a concerted move that will mean one of the first steps in Prineville's real march of progress. m m if!

Of the musical numbers there was a wide range to select from, all good however. The Gullotta trio was excellent. There is no questioning the art of this master, and he was ably sup ported by the other members of his group. Witepskie's Hungarians Sins on "Home Town Prepared ness" was very good. A communi ty that could not get an inspiration from this man is ready for a visit from the undertaker. That leave us Arthur A. Krun. ke, Dr. Boy I and Dr. Fisher. The former delivered a lecture that was ! a true classic, a masterpiece. The EAbT were excellent also ami tne tenniost difficult subject in the lot to members of this company are able i hun,!!,. ihi. .nuRkor ilommmimt,..! that his subject, "The Bible," was to prove that they are musicians, every one oi tnem. ine Hawaiian capable of the deepest thought and quintet showed wonderful ability j whit; tho mml difficult, yet tin am! secured applause readily for j munnpP in wnit.h j. was handled. held the interest of the audit nee LOOKING BACKWARD. If the audiences that attended the Chautauqua last week were ask ed to vote on the very best number there would be a great variety of the reason that they were heart and soul in their music, all the time, and as musicians they surely stand in a group bv themselves. The Jonians were good, although their program was injured by their late arrival on Monday, The Boston Operatic company staged some good musical numbers, some grand opera and a variety of selec tions that lent a spice to the pro gram. Two illustrated lectures, one on "America Before the World", by Dr. Fisher and the other, "Isles of Peace" were both of merit, the former especially so. Standing away off by himself, and without a peer, without a com- j parison on the program is that royal entertainer, S. Piatt Jones. ! Jones is one of those few individ-! uals whose sole duty in life is to i make other people laugh. He can fickle the funny bone of the worst old grouch in the township. There , were individuals in the audience Monday night who had not smiled for ten years by the stop watch, , who became hilarious and ' their1 friends feared for their safety. There is but one thing that can be j said against his appearance in j Prineville, and that is almost one ; half of the program was left off be- j cause of the lateness of the hour. Now the lectures. Women and j children first! All right, we will say that Mrs. Roberson had a real message, especially for the wives and mothers, also the hubands artd fathers. And she delivered it too. Mrs. Gill, harpist and lecturer, was good. Her harp work was good but her impersonations were better, and now after it is all com pleted, it is impossible to tell if anything else had any more telling effect on the audience than the little work of' Mrs. Gill's, "The War Bride". And here is the real difficulty. Which was the best lecture? First we are going to take the liberty to say that Victor Murdock did not deliver a lecture in the true sense. He gave a vivid description of things as they are in Europe, and portrayed what may be the con dition in America. His talk was instructive and heartily enjoyed. and if it went over the heads of many of them they were slow to admit it. We cannot say whether Dr. Fisher or Dr. Boy I should be r!aced first. Many will claim first honors for each of these men and they can not be wrong at that, for they were both the best. The latter was more of an inspirational lecture for the youth of the land, while Dr. Fisher appealed to all classes. The work of Miss Harmon with the little fellows was remarkable, considering the length of time she was here. For new and old HtomRch trouble une Adamson's Diget eze.
