SIM ALL SET FOR
BIGGEST FAIR YET
Seven car loads of fat cattle,
scores of dairv rattle. numrn:m
horses, sheep and swine will com
bine to mnko the livestock show at
the fair this year.
j It was said by those who attend
ed the 1915 fair that the livestock
was of as high quality as that at
the state fair, or at San Francisco.
I The same quality will prevail
j this year, the condition of some of
I the individuals will be better,
and there will be a slight increase
in numbers.
I Practically all the pen space has
i been allotted, and extra pens and
tents are being' erected on the
i grounds for the overflow. No one
I will be turned away, and manager
Schee says' that everyone will be
given the test of care.
More than 100 head of cattle
t will be on the grounds by Sunday
nignt. It is a show that is worth
1 coming miles to see. Don't miss it."
port that it has received.
The loyal .support of the people
on the " farms and stockranches
throughout the county has enabled
the Journal to reach practically
every home in the eastern half of
the county, and a large percentage
of them in all other parts as well.
To stimulate this condition, and
keep at least one jump ahead of
this prospering and growing town
ana community, as every live paper
should do, is the purpose ot this
campaign.
For the generous support given
the Journal during the almpst
twenty years that it has lived and
battled for development and pro
gress in the Prineville country, we
thank you heartily.
There are linger and better days
ahead for this community, and in
their realization, the Journal will
in the future as in the past, play a
leading part. . ,
SURVEY COMPLETED
Election Will Be Called in
About 30 Days.
COST OF PROJECT $42.83 ACRE
Meeting Will Be Called Soon
To Submit Flans to the
Voters.
The total cost of the Ochoco Irri
gation District project, according
to the estimates t nd the findings
of the survey which is now prac
tically completed, will be $40.49
per aero should the board decide to
construct a dam of the earth fill
hydraulic type, and $ 12.83 per acre
should the earth and rock fill type
be used.
The estimates of all items are
high, and I"roject Engineer It. W.
Rea says that the cost will not be
more than the above figures and
may be less.
Mr. Rea recommends that to this"
amount, enough be added to pay
the interest on the bonds for the
firit three years, and this will be
submitted by the board to he
people of the district along with a
number of other important matters,
it is said, soon.
The board plans to call a meeting
at which the bond issue will be
submitted to the voters in about
a month from this date. Engineer
Rea left today for Salem where he
will submit the plans and report
of he survey to State Enginei-r
Lewis for his approval, and the
date for the election will he de
cided upon at a ma-ting which will
be held immediately after his re
turn. The figures on construction are
materially lower than were those
of the government survev, and the
information obtained is such that
actual construction of the project
can be taken up at once and rushed
to completion.

OF
C. Sam Smith returned from the
Camp Creek ci.untry ort Friday
where he has been buying steers
for feeders.
He succeeded in getting about
150 head from five different parties

the fall and enrly winter on this
ranch, and when in condition, ship

While the consid-ration is not
made public, it is said that the
steers were sold at a high figure,
but that they were of excellent
quality and in good condition.
This is the first bunch of feeders
that has been delivered in this
part of the county this fall, but as
the ride progresses, other deliveries
will follow shortly.

LONG, BUSY TERM
Geo. L. Dalton Entered Plea
of Guilty.
Ml IN DONN CASE DISAGREE
Gilliam Trial Yet to Come-
Some Case Continued
Over.
A mistrial resulted in the case
being prosecuted in the circuit
court last week against David R.
Dunn for horse stealing upon the
jury being discharged late Sunday
evening by Judge Duffy. Accord
ing to reports the jury stood 6 to
6 from the first to the last ballot
and was out from Saturday evening
until late Sunday evening.
The case has been put over to
the next term for retrial because of
the prospective length of the pres
ent term and for the reason that
a special venire would be required
to retry the case at this time, while
at the regular January term, the
case may be tried with a regular
panel of jurors.
Geo. L. Dalton of Bend, who was
indicted for mixing alcohol with
water and giving it to a minor,
plead guilty to giving intoxicating
liquors to a minor and was sen
tenced to pay a , fine of $50 last
Thursday by Judge Duffy. Dalton
was also indicted for perjury in
connection with the purchase of the
alcohol at a drug store in Bend,
but the indictment was continued
for the term.
The case against George McVay,
accused of a statutory offense also
went over for the term upon the
petition of the prosecutrix.
E. W. Gillam, accused of con
tributing to the delinquency of a
minor child, will no doubt be tried
at the end of the present docket,
although Gillam is seeking to get
a continuance. The continuance
is being vigorously opposed by the
district attorney.
Mrs. Mary L. Culver was given
a verdict for damages in 'the sum
of $300 against the city of Prine
ville last evening by a jury after
deliberations lasting about 8 hours.
Mrs. Culver was suing for more
than $0000 damages for injuries al
leged to have been received when
she fell on a defective sidewalk
adjoining the Elkins store last -January.
,
The two cases against M. J. Mc
Grath, appealed from the justice
court, were dismissed by Judge
Duffy. This makes the fines and
costs, which total about $400, due
and payable at once to the county.
aitSfaTsteer
to bejiyen away
A fine fat steer will be given
away at the fair this year, to the
person guessing nearest to its cor
rect weight. This is a feature
that caused considerable interest
last year, the animal being won by
D. J. Finn of the Ten Bar ranch
who made only one guess that cost
him ten cents. This was a fat
cow, which was sold by Mr. Finn
for $65, to W. T. Davenport.
The cow weighed 1413, and there
were just 1,000 guesses that were
Incorrect. About 90 percent of
these were less than the ..actual
weight of the cow. '
Look for the little tent, and see
if you can tell the weight of an
animal by looking at it.

L
HILL LUMBER HERE
P. C. Garrison, Central Oregon
representative of the Rogers-Yow-man
Lumber company, passed
through Prineville on Monday en
route to the company holdings in
the Summit Prairie country.
Mr. Garrison has been busy for
the past year preparing for the
blocking of the company holdings
in the Blue Mountains, and expects
to soon have these lands so ar
ranged that milling of the timber
can start at a comparatively early
date. ,
''We realize that this timber is
ripe and should be cut," Mr. Gar
rison said, "and the building of the
railroad to Prineville will nf course
be a spur to our activities in the
preparation for these ' operations.
"The timber will be cut into
lumber either on the Ochoco or at
Prineville." he continued, "and the
idea that the logs would be hauled
a greater distance than to Prine
ville is absurd."
Mr. Garrison said further that
while there is no announcement of
immediate activity from his com
pany, the work of grouping the
holdings is progressing very satis
factorily and that the day is ap
proaching when such announcement
will be made.
BEFORE
' OCTOBER 7; SURE
The following communication re
ceived from Secretary of State Ben
W. Olcott is self-explanatory:
It might be of interest to you to
know that the registrations so far
! for 1916 are about 50,000 short of
jthe total registrations for 1914.
Registration books close on October
7th. In view of the very short
time remaining in which registra
j tions may be made for the ensuing
general election and the apparent
fact that a great many voters of
the State have so far neglected to
register, may I request that you
call the attention of your readers
thereto, reminding them of the
necessity of being registered if they
expect to receive copies of the laws
upen which they are to vote at the
forthcoming election. ,'
Rev. Reid Feted.
Rev. E. T. Reid returned Tuesday
from Lewiston, Idaho, where he
attended the Columbia .; River Con
ference of the M. E. church. At
that conference Mr. Reid was ap
pointed to the pastorate of the
Methodist church in Prineville,
Ore.
At the hands of the conference
Mr. Reid has received quite a nice
promotion. He has been sent to
the largest and strongest church in
Central Oregon in the most import
ant and influential center of that
part of the state. The church
itself is well organized, has a finj
building and is well forward in
every church activity. Some of
the best men of the Columbia River
Conference have been pastors there.

AUTO
RACES
ARE BOOKED
FOR THE FAIR
Speed Machines Will Battle
In Five-Mile Event.
FWE CARS WILL ENTER RACES
DRIVEN Blf PRINEVILLE HEN
National, Buick, Studebakerand
Hudson Cars Will Race in
Big Fair Feature
Automobile races between five of
the fastest cars in this part of the
state are to be staged during the
fair next week.
The management has planned for
some time to have these events.
but the final arrangements were
not made until this week, and to
say that the principal race will be
a real speed event, is cuttinsr it
mild indeed.
There will be five cars in the
start unless some changes are made
in the plan.
They are: Buick. Homer Ross.
owner, Geo. Eiler, driver; National,
W. E. Mead, owner and driver-
Hudson. R. P. Scheurer. owner and
driver; Studebaker, R. V. Randall,
owner and driver; Buick. F. E. Al-
bee, owner.
This race will be a five mile
event, which will be ten laps on
the track, and it will be an excit
ing evert t from the start.
The best and biggest county fair
in Oregon will be held in Prine
ville next week, commencing on
Wednesday and continuing the re
mainder of the week.
The Crook County Fair long ago
graduated from a, mere racing
event, and is far. more than the
pumpkin show of the ordinary
western county.
It is a air in every sense of the
word. Racing of course, and
pumpkins too, but all of those other
things that go to make up a real
fair. And more than that. Man
ager Schee is a man who makes
these events his business, and he is
constantly alert for any new feature
that will add to the fair.
He toid us last year that the fair
would be far ahead of anything
that Central Oregon ,iad ever seen,
and it was. He says this year that
his events will make last year's fair
look small, and it will by com
parison, regardless of the fact that
the l1915 fair was the best in the
state up to that time.
At 12:45 the championship games
between the Baby Beavers and the
Prineville team will be called each
day and these will be followed by
the main events at the fair grounds.
Flights in the aeroplane by
Herbert A. Munter each day will
give a timely demonstration of the
advance in navigation in the air.
Track events in which horses,
both harness and saddle events, and
motors, on two and four wheels
will compete for attention with
wild west stunts of many kinds
which will follow without a pause
in the afternoons. '
The program will be new each
day, and there will be no delays.
In the evening there will be the
street attractions, indoor functions,
Merry-Go-Round and Ferris Wheel,
dances and other events.
On Saturday evening a boxing
and wrestling event will be staged
by the Club management in an open
air arena that is being built for
the purpose on the site of the new
Elkins building.
The music is to be furnished by
Parson's band of Portland, one of
the best bands on the coast.
There will be several things do
ing every minute, and you can't
afford to miss it. Remember it is
the biggest thing outside of the
state fair.
Watch for The Journal's free
program each day.
