35S Favor Bond Issue in the
Sum of $100,000.00
BY THEIR VOTE PEOPLE SHOW
CONFIDENCE IN THE COUNCIL
Council is Ready to Act Plans
For Immediate Survey and
Construction Are Made
With a volo of 358 for and one
against tho $100,000 railroad bond
issue the citizens of Prineville for
the second time onv Monday made
known to the world that they are
in favor of tho bond i'bkuo and
the plan by which the city is to
have a road.
While it was certain that the
vote would be favorable, and the
council had made plans for the
immediate construction of the
road, it seemed that a unanimous
Vote of this nature would be almost
impossible to get. ,
There were three more votes cast
than in the former election, which
was held on March 28, one vote in
each case being against the ksue
and one ballot cot counted In botkl
elections because of error. j
The day was ideal and a larger
vote would have been polled but
for the reason that the polls closed
at 5 o'clock which is e.rlier.than
in a general election.
Action was taken immediately
by the council to get things under
way for tho construction of the
road.
A band concert on the streets
Monday evening and general cele
bration was indulged in by a
number of those who had been
most active in the election. As
the' various legal steps taken by
the city in connection with this
election have all been advised by
the firm of Keehler Bros., of Den
ver, who specialize in this class of
legal work, there is no possibility
of a delay in tho financing of the
road, councilmcn say.
Prineville not only wants the
road, but by this vote has ex
pressed a willingness to pay for it
and has the resources with' which
to justify the investment.

DEFEATED

Come Back.
WIN SIX OUT OF SEVEN CMS
Final Contest on Sunday on
Davidson Field Visitors
Coming for Revenge.
Once again the Prineville base
ball team defeated Hend on the
latt'.-r's diamond last Sunday, score
4-1.
Tho game was between Prine
ville, the regular Bend team, Sliev-lin-IIixon
players and what other
strength Bend was able to summon
and as one final effort to defeat
Prineville by tho Bend supporters.
Bend succeeded, in getting
Morton borne' in the first inning
and it looked for a moment like
Prineville might suffer defeat,
but their strength all faded away
before the team work of the Prine
ville men, and after the third inning
it was a walkover.
The Bend team succeeded in get
ting but one man to third after the
first inning. Burden's pitching and
the Prineville team-work proving
too much for them.
, Manager , Jordan says that the
Baby Beavers will bo easy money
and that his team is getting strong
er every day. They ra truly
above " anything") they have ' met
during the year and Bend is en
titled to the medal for real bone
head baseball, much additional
proof being added to their oiaim
for this title in Sunday's game.
Tho last game of the season with
Bend will be played at Davidson
field ' Sunday. The , Benders are
coming with all the strength they
can get and are seeking revenge.

ENGINEERING
CONTRACT TO
BE MADE SOON
Bond Election Ratified by
Council Last Night
REAL CONSTRUCTION WORK
TO START IN NEAR FUTURE
Ordinance is Passed and Procla
mation Issued by Mayor;
Harmory Prevails
A contract will be signed soon,
perhaps on or before Tuesday even
ing of next week, for the engineer
ing work on the city's railroad.
This will be a contract that will
provide for the permanent location
of the line, all engineering work
and the supervision of the construc
tion work as well, it is said.
Because of the fact that the
council desires to rush the work as
rapidly as possible, plans are being
completed that will make this pos
sible. A meeting of the council was
held last evening at which the re
quired ordinances were passed, the
proclamation of the mayor issued,
the results of the election canvassed
and ratified and much work that is
necessary at this time completed.
Funds are available f jr the com
mencement of the work it was an
nounced and everything that was
possible to do up to this time has
been done.
The road will be constructed by
the city, from a point within the
city to the main line of the Oregon
Trunk at a point either between
Redmond and Terrebonne or at one
of the towns. The exact location
of the western terminus will be de
cided by the council and their en
gineer as soon as possible.
The work of construction will be
done with local help as much as
possible, and it is thought that
grading can commence at a very
early date.
GILKEY STORE AND
The general merchandise store of
Gilkey & Son near Paulina was de
stroyed by fire about eight o'clock
Sunday evenintr, causing a loss to
the owners of about $18,000.
The building, which was more
than a mile from Paulina and about
a quarter of a mile from the Gilkey
residence, was seen to be afire, but
as there was no one at the build
ing at the time, the interior was
filled with flame before people ar
rived from Paulina.
ihe owners of the store had gone
to the home of Andrew Bernard
several miles away to deliver some
goods and the store had been left
alone for some time.
Besides the, loss of the building
which was about 40xG0 feet in size,
and its contents of merchandise of
all kinds, a motor truck which
stood in an adjoining shed was also
consumed .
No one can give any information
as to the origin of the fire, and the
amount of insurance carried is not
known.
The owners have made no an
nouncement as to whether the store
will be rebuilt or not.
