THAT ROAD TO PRINEVILLE
It has been suggested to us by
one of the heavy tax payers of
Wheeler County that the people of
Mitchell and Prineville get together
on the road proposition and have
the s road from Prineville through
Mitchell and on to Dayvllle built,
or at leaBt to lay our laim before
the board. Prineville will soon
have a railroad, and our neoDle
here want to get closer to the Prine
ville people, as much of our freight
will surely come through that way.
People what do you think of it?
The columns of the Sentinel are
open to you for discussing the mat
ter. Let us hear from vou. Mitch

I of the entire county is canvassed j
and made public.
j. t,. Koberts, of Roberts, Is one
of the leading Crook County ranch-j
era who feels the time has come to
I build permanent roads along pertna
. nent grades so that the money once
spent will not be wasted. He be-
: lleves that the time for travelling
over cow trails and across mountain
I tops Is a thing of the oaat and that
j the county should be bonded to
i build main trunk lines along water
I grades. The county can be bonded
for only 2 per cent of Its assessed
i valuation and this would raise about
1 174,000.00 his year. By the time
that amount Is judiciously expended
'the assessed valuation would be In-
. creased - and ... further bond issues
could be voted until there would.be
a good water level road from Beaver
Creek down Crooked River to Prlne
ville, from the Camp Creek country
down Bear Creek to a junction with
the Crooked River road and a road
from John Day through Summit
Prairie, down the Ochoco.
Homer Norton, of Post, has ex
pressed himself In no uncertain

PASTURE MIXTURES
Permanent Pasture to be Sown by
'' Stockmen This Year"'' ' "
In the Irrigated section of Crook
and Deschutes Counties there Is a
demand for some kind of pasture
that will hold as many cattle per
acre as possible during the growing
season. Due to the lack of range
in the country or where the range
Is possible, the poor quality it af
fords, the farmer of Irrigated lands
finds the permanent pasture almost
indispensible to his operations.
The County Agricultural Council,
through its committee on crops, has
arranged for several demonstrations
this year on a pasture mixture. C.
D. Jarrett, chairman of the commit
tee together with County Agent
Blanchard have finished arrange
ments to provMe at least four good
demonstrations over the two coun
ties. These pastures will be sown
this spring and it is hoped it will
; serve as a demonstration to others.
iTwo mixtures are being used. For
land .that has rather poor drainage
the following will be sown:' Red
Top 8 lbs., Timothy 8 lbs., Meadow
Fescue 6 lbs., Alsike Clover 4 lbs.
This is sown at the rate of about
26 lbs. per acre on well prepared
land that has settled for a week or
two befor planting, and harrowed
in.
The land of average drainage the
following mixture is being sown:
Kentucky Blue Grass 8 lbs., Orchard
Grass 5 lbs., Brome Grass 5 lbs.,
Meadow Fescue 4 lbs., Timothy 4
lbs., White Clover 2 lbs. ThiB
should be sown at the rate of about
28 lbs. per acre. Some people ob
ject to' the clover but the amount
used is not enough to be important.
Farmers over the two counties
will do well to try these mixtures
on their places. They have been
used In Idaho with excellent success,
holding as high as 2 cows per acre
tor the season.

CHURCH FEELS NEED
IN THE LIFE OF
Man -is essentially a spiritual be
ing. No argument has ever success
fully disproved this fact. A man is
as incomplete without the develop
ment of the spiritual as he would
be with an undeveloped mind or
body. The romance of two worlds
hangs over him. While in the one,
he must develop and prepare tor the
other.
The Church alone stands as the
schoolmaster instructing for the
spiritual life. Substitutes have been
tried' but none have ever success
fully taken Its place. The absent
treatment is a failure. Compare
the-' tnan. wh-er aiiaiuU . church.
with the constant attendant and the
sincere worshipper. What hope has
the former of meeting the departed
friends of long ago? ' What will he
do when the eternal bedtime comes?
The Christian Church of Prine
ville stands for the spiritual uplift
of every man, woman and child.
We ask the cooperation of every
right thinking and right loving per
son In Prinvllle.
If you have been neglecting
church, will you not change the rule
and visit us at the services next
Sunday?

The basketball game at the Com
mercial Club Hall on Wednesday
night ended in a victory for the
Alumni team over the C. C. H. S
team by the score of 25 to 11. The
High School was at its best and
played the scrappiest and best game
of the season. Although the game
was ' a little one-sided in the last
half, the first half ended with a
score of 12 to 10 in favor of the
Alumni. Estes and Brosius threw
most of the baskets for the Alumni
team. After the showing made by
the C. C. H. S. team in this game
a good game can be expected when
they meet Redmond High.
Billy George, northwest middle
weight ' champion, won a clean-cut
decision from Farmer Burns, ot
Echo, Monday night at the Hippo
drome in Bend. Before the bout
Billy George was presented with a
belt as Northwest champion by his
Bend admirers. Money was thrown
in the ring freely with which to pay
for this belt. ' The preliminary be
tween Schoal, who knocked Speck
Woods out in Prineville some time
ago, and Gilbert, of Bend, ended in
a draw. A very small crowd went
over from Prineville owing to a
dance being given here by Parsons'
