ABSOLUTE KXTRAVAGANCE
It Is not the practice of large met
ropolitan hotels to enter into a pol
icy that would seem to invite utter
-financial disaster, yet such appears
to be the case In the Instance of
a well known Institution that claims
to be, and we believe Justly, the
home of eastern and central Oregon
stockmen and farmers while in Port
land. The Journal was favored with a
tall from the publicity manager of
that institution recently, which call
we are sorry to say was made while
the editor of this paper was absent.
A polite request was left however
for such publicity as we could see
fit to "give" this magnificent hotel,
and two objects of real value were
left on the desk, presumably in pay
ment for such publicity.
One was a beautiful penny post
card, showing the picture, in bright
colore too, of the hostelry, a long
banner bearing the name of the In
stitution flying in the breeze, and
automobiles, (filled we presume
with central Oregon stockmen) lin
ing the curb, denoting unbounded
prosperity.
On the revnrso side of the card is
the usual place for artless, also
space to write a message to your
friend requesting that he to make
this hotel his Portland headquar
ters, also the place for a stamp, but
the stamp Itself was overlooked in
the haste of the publicity manager
to depart. ,
The other article, representing
even more value, was a red apple.
Not a big Veil, apple, but just a red
apple, about imedlum size. It was
wrapped in tissue -aper, and the
paper was overlooked and left right
around the apple. ",
Wo are pleased about the tissue
pauer being left however, for we
v,wt til take thlsl aniile to the
above hotel, on our lull trip to this
lively cuy, aim oner umu uie iimn
agenient In payment for such ac
commodations as thoj see fit to
"give" us. Meanwhile It is locked
securely in the olllce safe.
THK, IjADIKS AUAIX
Of course no one is foolish
enough to suppose that a commun
ity could run without Its ladles hut
it has been repeatedly demonstrated
In Prineville that the ladles are no
longer an auxiliary to thu real
workings of the community, but
nothing less than the main motive
power itself.
ThiB was demonstrated most
forcibly last Saturday evening when
the second number of the excellent
lyceum courao was given at the
Commercial Club in this city.
The first number, ail excellent
mulo quartet, was played to n
scanty house and the Commercial
Club which had signed for the en
tire course, foresaw immediate fi
nancial disaster.
The matter was turned over to
the Ladies Annex with a guarantee
that If the venture proved a finan
cial failure, the Commercial Club
would lose, if there was a profit, the
ladies should have it.
The result was a comfortably fill
ed house, regardless of the fact that
the laides had less than two days
in which to sell tickets.
The success of the course is se
cured, and we predict a capacity
house for the next number, which
is tomorrow night.
If ' you" are a mere ' man, and
have not already secured tickets for
the remaining numbers, buy a
couple yet and be a sport.
THK IRRIGATION CONGRESS
The irrigation congress, timed as
it was to meet just prior to the
opening of the legislature, did a
multitude of good work for a cause
that is of first importance to this
part of Oregon.
The recommendations to the leg
islature will not be forgotten, and
we will hope that a large amount of
good will come from legislation
along the lines suggested.
This congress has become one of
the most important meetings in the
state, and as should be, Prineville
and Central Oragon men were every
where evident, and the direct re
sults that will be realized from this
meeting will mean much for this
part of the state.
