Homer Ross, Forest Supervisor,
explained to the meeting In a few
words the Shackleford bill aa It waa
recently passed by Congress and
what It meant to the people of
Crook County In the way of financial
aid In tho construction of our roads.
He stated that be felt that there
was nothing better In the world that
the Forest Service could do in the
way of a public service for the com
munity than to assist In the Im
provement of the roads, and ho
hoped that the County would bond
Itself for nt least $74,000 In order
that they might have funds to match
funds which would be available un
der the Shnckleford bill.
Ho stated that both the Crooked
River and Hear Creek roads very
properly enmo under the heading of
Rural Post. Roads and that It would
be possible; to secure Federal aid In
their construction If the matter
were properly handled. Ho explain
ed that 75 million dollars of Federal
money would be available for ex
penditure on Rural Post Roads .dur
ing the next five years and that an
additional 10 million dollars would
be available for expenditure during
the next ton years at the rate of one
million dollars per annum and that
If the Crook County people did not
avail themselves of the opportunity
of getting some of this money for
our roads, there was no one to
blame but ourselves.
He urged the construction of well
laid out trunk line roads which
would serve the local residents as
well as the through travel and from
which lateral or secondary roads
could be constructed later on.

LAMB SPOKE LAST NIGHT
Professor Lamb, from Corvallis,
delivered a very instructive lecture
on poultry raising last night at the
Commercial Club rooms under the
auspices of the Prineville Poultry
Association.
Several cars of hay iave recently
been shlpcd to the farmers of Tilla
mook county, from Redmond,
through the medium of the County
Agents of the two counties, and
since using some of the superior
Central Oregon product, the farm
ers there have decided they can use
1000 tons for fall delivery.
The Tillamook dairymen have de
cided that if they can buy all the
hay they need from the farmers
over here that they will use all their
land for pasture, green crops and
silage, and they are anxious to
know what can be done In the mat
ter so they may plan their cropping
system under the new conditions.
It begins to look as if Central
Oregon farmers are not going to
have to worry about a market for
their crops. Quality and quantity
count when It comes to getting be
fore the bigger markets and that Is
what the farmers of these two coun-1
ties are learning to produce.
PARADE AND RALLY
HELD LAST SATURDAY
A patriotic parade and demonstra
tion was held in Prlneville Saturday j

School cadets in uniform, led by the tne organization of the Ladles Am
military band of that organization, nex and later mei at tne home of
and each of the cadets bearing aMrs- M- E- Brink and organized with
musket of regulation army pattern.! membership of about twenty. Mrs.
Citizens, veterans from other wars
and school children united to make
the parade several blocks long, the
machine guns and anti-air craft
guns bringing up the rear.
A meeting was held at the Com
mercial Club Hall which was pre
sided over by T. M. Baldwin. Rev.
Reid gave the invocation and Rev.
Van Nuys was principal speaker.
Jay H. -Upton delivered a few re
marks. EASTER AND WAR
At this season of the year we
stand within the shadow of the
cross and wait for the light of the
resurrection morning to dispel its
gloom. The darkness has been
deepened by the war cloud that
hovers over our nation.
Poor agonized Europe sinks help
less in the vortex cf the bloody
maelstrom. The fast running cur
rent of events seems to draw our
nation into the whirl of death. In
this awful hour the victory of Jesus
Christ over the grave should mean
more to men than ever before.
If the crime and curse of war
should demand of us its staggering
toll, through all the confused noises
of earth we still may hear the Christ
declare, "I am the resurrection and
the life." The Resurrection proves
his claim, though the War God
stalks forth gathering his harvest of
death. Christ still declares, "He
that believeth in me, though he
were dead, yet shall he live."
It is alone in Him we can hope
and have the victory of Life over
death. He alone can close the fur-
rows of war, and forever extinguish
the last vestige of hatred and hor
rors among men. The Christian
Church is the result of the Restora
tion movement. An effort on the
part of the twentieth century Dis
ciples ta establish the faith ONCE
delivered to the saints, of the first
century. Through the centuries the
false and spurious have crept in re
quiring corrections and reformations
again and again, until the only solu
tion to the problem of the pure
teachings of Christ, has been a res
toration of those teachings untouch
ed and untainted by the hands of
men.
If you wish to be SURE of your
hope of immortality study the plan
of salvation as laid down by Christ
and his disciples. If you will spend
an hour with us each Sunday morn
ing or evening, we will seek to teach
you the faith of the early disciples.
CRAWFORDS COMING AGAIN

I Irving of Madras, O. C. Pierce of

four team league including the two
Bend teams, Prineville and a team
from Jefferson county. This team
will divide its games between Mad
ras and Culver as it sees fit. Madras
and Culver were both represented
at the meeting prepared to enter a
team in the league but bs it was
impossible for Redmond to enter it

four teams. The following officers
were elected for the year: M. R.
Cashman, of Bend, president;. L. H.
Irving of Madras, vice president; O.
C. Pierce of Culver, secretary; and
Edgar Albee, treasurer. A very
satisfactory adjustment of the gate

which will go to the league, the re
maining 90 per cent to be divided
60-50. The league will start about
May 1st, ending August 1st, playing
only on Sundays. It was decided to
let each team use the holiday dates
as it saw fit thus enabling them to
get outside teams on these dates.
The schedule and rules will be
drawn up at a meeting called for
Friday at 2 o'clock in Culver,
An honorary board was chosen
consisting of T M. Baldwin, C. S.
Hudson, O. A. Pearce, E. J. Kings
