The Hpni tal road bond election,
which will bo held throughout the
state on June 4 of this year, has
seven measures healdes the mad
bond issue for consideration.
The people will be SRkcd to vote
on a tax of $400,000 for building a
new penitentiary at Salem, and to
vote on the matter of Increasing the
nay of the leglalators and limiting
the number of bills to he introduced.
A number of other matters of less
Importance will ho voted upon at
the same time,
Consideration of the arguments
ottered by the affirmative and the
negative, it seems that tho Issue of
road bonds should carry without
question.
The matter of paying the bonds
Is plainly specified, and It Is cited
that tho taxes would he no higher
than at present. Tho funds accru
ing from tho automobile license
each year would be used. In the pay
ment of tho bonds, together with
other funds.
There la no argument against
good roads, and it seems that those
who submit the argument In the
affirmative have all the better of It.

FEDERAL FARM LOANS
On his visit to this city this week.
Watson I". Davidson, president of
the Oregon & Western Colonization
Company has decided to encourage
all who have contracts from him for
lands, to secure federal loans for as
much as the lands will meet the ap
proval of the loan board.
To do this It is necesBitry to deed
the lands to parties holding the con
tracts, and In turn the company will
be given a second mortgage to se
cure the remaining payments.
This will get the title to the
lands Into the hands of the people
and will also make the payments
much easier than should the con
tracts remain as at present.

A pool of 6,000 bushels of wheat,

chett, W. F. Mason, N. F. McColn,
Price Coshow and Josiah Williams
was sold in Redmond on Monday by
Mr. Turner at $2.00 per bushel.
This Is the highest price that has
been paid for wheat in the interior,
and on Tuesday the market had
dropped 13 cents. B. F. Parsons
bought the wheat, most of which
was Marquis, for tho Northwest
Grain Company.
This is the second sale made by
this same group of men, the first
lot of 6000 bushels being sold last
September at $1.40 which was also
above the market at that date.
To say that these men are elated
over the fact that they pooled the
grain and held it is putting it mildly.

OX MONDAY
PRINEVILLE SENDS 16 CARS
Total From Central Oregon Kightee
In Number Two From
Redmond
Prineville cattle broke all records
in the market at North Portias
Monday when sales were made a
high as $10.25 for car lots, and
other car loads sold at $10.00 and
$10.15.
The highesttprice received was by
I George Dixon who sold at the rec-
t nrrt fifrnre Rftor CI W SlavtAn half
received $10 and others of the ship
pers got $10.15.
Those who shipped in the Prine
ville cattle special were. Geo. Dixon,
5 loads; E. T. Slay ton, 4 loads; S.
S. Stearns, 3 loads; and Morgan
Allen and G. W. Slayton two loads
each.
C. H. Miller and H. A. Harris ot
Redmond each shipped a car, mak
ing a total of IS cars that went
Into the yards from Central Oregon,
which comprised about seventy-live
per cent of the total run on Monday.
The Prineville stuff was In ex
cellent condition, and was snapped
up at the advanced prices. The dif
ference in prices paid for stock in
the very best condition, and that
which is but little more than halt
fat, demonstrates the fact that it
pays to put the stuff into the best
possible shape before putting it
onto the market.
Several loads of cattle will go
into the market from this point for
the market next Monday and more
fancy prices are expected.
EVERY BOY AND GIRL
LD PLANT GARDEN
At a meeting of the Commercial
Club an executive committee con
sisting of J. E. Myers, R. A. Blanch
ard, Guy Latollette and A. M. Byrd,
was appointed. This committee will
respectfully ask the Parent-Teachers'
. committee consisting ot J. B.
Shipp, Mrs. H. P. Belknap and Mrs.
Oliver Powell, to take charge of the
boys' and girls' garden work tor
this committee, to secure the ground
for all the children of the town, and
take general charge of the ways and
means side of the project.
The committee has also selected
the ministers of tho different
churches to be the leaders of the
various squads, into which the city
will be divided, and to have general
supervision of the planting and cul
tivation. It is proposed that the
leaders of these various squads ap
point a day or part of a day each
week for the work to be done, and
that all the boys and girls work at
the appointed hour so that it will
be possible for these leaders to visit
them with the idea of supervision.
However, this will not prevent the
children from working their bit of
ground at any other time during the
week.
Since the time is at hand when
we should either plant or begin to
get the ground ready for planting a
division of the workers into squads
and the appointment of these lead
ers will be made at once.
Mr. Blanchard, our county agri
culturist, has prepared the following
list of vegetables which he thinks
would be the most appropriate for
this altitude. Possibly more im
portance should be placed on select
ing the proper Beeds, and especially
that the seed should be strong, than
any other thing in connection with
the proposition. For instance, you
can't expect to have good results if
you plant poor seeds.
