The county court has been h tar
get for every grand jury for some
time, ami criticism has been free
concornliiK the condition of the
county jail, which we are Informed i
la not the moat sanitary place
imaginable. !
The Bland Juries insist that,
these conditions must bo corrected,
ami the court takes the position
that if a man docs not like the
place he can stay out of it. which I
is not a had idea either. j
We believe the better anil more j
profitable solution of the problem'
would be to correct the condition
of the jail, and work the prisoners,
n the roads as they have been for
the past month. This would cause
the next grand jury to look for
something else to make the text of
their report next term at leust.

Prices that are being offered for
the 191" wheat crop, .which Is yet
to grow are above $1. Wool Is be
ing freely contracted at prices that
seem to justify the claim that a
sheop is worth more than the cow
brute of 1890. and all kinds of
produce at the high water mark can
but mean another big year for the
people of this part of the state.
Most of the mortgages and old
accounts were paid the past year
and another year of the same kind
will mean many new buildings,
new automobiles and much improvement.

TO TIIK WHAT 1 1 Kit MAX
With a committee of business men
from the commercial club accepting
the city council's ofTer in furnish
ing; the guarantee, the last delay Is
removed and only the weather will
set the date for construction work
along practically the entire line of
railway, from Prineville to the
Oregon Trunk conection.
The greater part of the distance
is shallow surface grading, and
freezing and thawing would make
this much more expensive.
This is ideal weather for other
work, which is to be started at
once however.

From the start already made, it
seems that the Oregon legislature
is planning to redeem itself in the
eyes of the people this year.
Organization was effected with
out delay, committee appointments
disposed of in a commendable man
ner, and bills already introduced
provide some badly needed legisla
tion in the way of reforms, econo
mies, both in the administration of
the affairs of the state and in lesser
ways, and some badly needed so
cial reforms as well.
From the rush that is being made
for 6 40 acre homesteads it seems a
safe prediction that the day of
"free range" and the range war Is
over and that a few months at most
will eliminate the Government domain.
The manner in which the rail
way right-of-way guarantee was
signed up on Friday would indicate
that Prineville people are yet in
favor of their railroad.
BEND ITEMS
Damage sustained by the O'Kane
building as the result of Sunday
night fire, will total $865, accord
ing to the report of the adjuster,
A. B. Everts, who has been at work
here since yesterday morning. The
loss sustained by the Martin &
Cashman store, mostly the result of
smoke and water, is being computed
today. Bulletin.
Frank Henderson, son of J. W.
Henderson, found a dynamite cap
while playing on the east side of
the track recently and on the dare
of his fellow playmates held it in
his left hand while he touched a
lighted match to it to see what
would happen. The explosion
which followed blew three fingers
and the thumb off the hand. Un
less complications arise, Frank will
be around in a few days. Dyna
mite caps make poor playthings.
Men careless enough to leave them
around should be prosecuted.
