dress, the product ot our latest im
provement, a standard mourn o
Linotype.
The people have demonstrated
their faith in The Journal by com
bining in the largest list of paid
subscribers any paper has ever had
in this part of the state, and we in
return have installed the latest im
proved and best equipped machine
made by the Mergenthaler Lino
type Company, which by the way is
the same machine in use in the
best plants ot the large city dailies,
to assist us in keeping The Journal
at the bead of the list of country
papers in the state.
The machine itself, is a model of
mechanical perfection. The various
working parts are protected by a
list ot 69 patents, and composed of
more than IS, 000 individual pieces.
The machine cost about $3000.00.
In addition to the wide range of
type faces that it will cast, a variety
of other things, including an ever
changing series ot advertising, bor-j
drs, 8lugt'd rules thatjfe the
printer's delight, are easrij and
quickly made in any quantity to
suit the occasion.
The Model 5 Linotype is a quick
change single-magazine machine,
adjustable from 5 to 14 point body,
and up to 30 ems measure. This is
the present standard singTe-maga-zine
machine manufactured by the
Mergenthaler Linotype Company.
The Journal's machine is equip
ped with three mneazines and with
6, 8 and 12 point two-letter mat
rices which gives us six distinct
type faces. In addition to these we
have 18 and 24 point advertising
figures which will permit of a very
wide range of work.
The power for running this won
deiful piece of machinery is furnish
. ed by gear, drive 1-8 H. P. electric
motor. One ot the most up-to-date
features about the machine is the
electric linotype pot, the advantages
- of which are absolute accuracy of
temperature control, no soot, smoke
dirt, oxide or other products of
combustion, conservation of metal
by preventing over-hating, better
quality of slugs and increased production.
The automatic sorts stacker is an
attachment, simple in construction
which permits the convenient use
of any number of special characters
in addition to those shown on the
- keyboard. It is especially valuable
in handling the advertising figures
An endless number of special char
acters can be used in addition to the
180 in a single-magazine machine.
The linotype is so perfectly con
structed that when any of the var
ious parts are not properly adjusted
the machine will stop until the op
erator remedies the cause ot the
trouble. The speed of the machine
is really limited only by the oper
ator's ability to manipulate the
keyboard. One distinct advantage
is that it permits The Journal to ap
pear in a new dress each week and
we feel confident the new equip
ment will be appreciated by our
large circle ot readers.
The Journal was especially for
tunate in having this machine in
stalled by Chester L. Adams, who
is one of the best mechanics that
ever worked in the great Mergen
thaler plant.
We are again fortunate in secur
ing an expert operator In the per
son of F. F. Nash, who will be per
manently in charge of the machine.
Mr. Nash has had a wide experience
in this particular line, and is a
A total eclipse of the moon was

The second of the lyceum num

Misses Lyndon and Gordon present

comfortably filled house at the Club

These charming young ladies pre

and impersonations that were ot
the class that makeB you forget
your troubles, and see the brighter
side of life.
A liberal sprinkling of children
was noticeable in the audience, and
the little folks enoyed themselves
immensely, as did their elders.
At the : meeting - of the county
court last week, all bills for labor
and services performed in what is
now Deschutes county were paid up
to the date of the proclamation of
the governor, which was December
13, and those originating after that
date were refused, or referred to

success of all legitimate irrigation
districts within the state, of which
the Ochoco District is said to be
the most gilt-edged.
Briefly these resolutions provide:
that the board of directors ot a dis
trict shall be authorized to issue
short time bonds tor the payment
of the first dye v.rs ot interest,
that the dam, reiujfvoir and othei
head works of tuiev system be in
eluded in the bond issue, that the
old water rights included under the
district may be rebated for instead
of Issuing the full amount ot the
bonds for every acre, and paying for
the water rights, and to change the
laws making this kind of bonds el
igible to purchase by insurance
companies and others ,who demand
'rst class security under state supervision.
It is considered that the district
law will be amended in this manner,
and if this is done, the sale ot the
bonds for the district - will be easy.
