OPENING GAME 0-1;
PRINEVILLE FREEZEOUT
The opening game of the season
was played on the Prlneville dia
mond Sunday and resulted In a vic
tory for the Jefferson county team
by score of 1-0.
The day was bitter cold tor the
season, and the crowd was much
better than would be expected under
the conditions.
The Prlneville team showed the
loss of players who have enlisted In
the army and navy, and but for the
usual high grade work of Becbtell,
Tethnrow and a few of the other old
reliables the game would have been
more of a defeat for the locals.
Jefforson county has a strong
team, and will make a good record
In the race for the Central Oregon
League pennant.

FAVORS ROAD PLANS
Senator Chamberlain recently ex
pressed his hearty approval of the
proposal to build hard-surfaced
modern roads in Oregon paralleling
the Pacific Coast. He declared that
such roads through all the Pacific
Coast states would be of the great
est military importance.
"While not familiar with the de
tails of the Oregon road plan" said
Senator Chamberlain, "as I under
stand it, that plan will provide roads
which, from a military standpoint
are most necessary. But, as a mat
ter of fact, we Should have such
roads paralleling the Coast line from
Canada to Mexico. First-class hard
surfaced roads would afford ready
facility for transporting both troops
and- supplies up and down the Pa
cific Coast In the event of military
activity on that Coast and would
greatly augment the railroad.
"Roads such as these would have
the highest strategic value and
ought to be built, but I do not be
lieve the Federal Government at
this time has the money to build
them."

1Y EVER COUNTY
SHOULD VOTE BONDS
There is an excellent reason why
every voter in every county in the
State outside of Multnomah County
should vote for the $6,000,000 road
bond bill. Here it Is:
Multnomah County has paved her
roads. The $6,000,000 paving fund
will all be expended outside of Mult
nomah County. Multnomah County
pays 40 per cent of the automobile
license and the quarter-mill state
road tax, which means she pays 40
of the $6,000,000 bonds. Her con
tribution to the other counties for
roads will be $2,400,000.
Our county will get more back
from these bonds than it will con
tribute. Six years ago the people of Cali
fornia voted $18,000,000 bonds for
good roads. The measure received
only a small majority. Last Novem
ber they voted an additional $15,
000,000 of bonds for further road
work. The vote at the second
election was 4 to 1 tor the bonds.
There's a reason. Californlans were
satisfied with their first investment.
Road construction in California has
yielded satisfactory dividends to the
people of that State.
Owners of automobiles will be re
quired to pay the increased license
fee whether the road bond bill
passes or not. On the other hand,
it the road bonds are voted at the
June election, a real start will be
assured in giving to the State a sys
tem of permanent highways con
structed from automobile license
fees and without increasing the gen
eral tax.

BRIDGE SETTLEMENT SOON

Puzzles Attorneys
An order was made at the last
regular meeting of the city council
to the effect that all bills against
the Ochoco bridge for labor, supplies
or of any nature, must be sworn to,
filed in duplicate with the Recorder
and the County Clerk. After they
are examined by those in charge of
the work, the city proposes to pay
one-half of them, if the county pays
the other half.
The contract is one that was en
tered into by the city and the county
with F. W. McCaffery as contractor
The work was sublet to W. D. Pugh
and there are more bills against the
work than the unpaid part of the
contract will cover, which proves
quite a puzzle for the attorneys.

SOLD FIVE HORSES FOR $1625
Five head of the Belgian mares
recently purchased ,. from Judge
Springer were sold yesterday by J,
F. Blanchard for the total sum of
$1625.
One team brought $550, another
span $525 and one well bred in
dividual $650.
WILL TAKE EFFECT AT PLEAS
URE OF CO-WORKERS
CONGLETON MAY BE SUCCESSOR
Resignation Will Be P.ffective Not
Later Than July 7 County
Judge Now Living Here
J. F. Blanchard tendered his res
ignation to the county court yester
day morning as county commission
er, to take effect not later than
July 7, or as soon as the other
members of the court see fit. He
stated that his home is now in Jef
ferson county, and that his work of
developing the large ranch recently
purchased from Judge Springer
would occupy all of his time.
Because of the fact that Mr.
Blanchard has assisted in the settle
ment with Deschutes county and has
that matter well in hand, It is quite
probable that the other members of
the court will insist on his complet
ing the settlement before be leaves
his office.
The selection of a man to fill the
vacancy caused by Mr. Blanchard's
resignation will be left until the
next term of county court for the
reason that Commissioner Luthy is
on a business trip to Eugene and
will not return for several days.
The Judge and Mr. Luthy insist
that Mr. Blanchard select his owa
successor, while - Mr. Blanchard
maintains that this is a duty for the
other members alone. It is quite
probable that they will agree on the
man however, and from present in
dications it would seem a safe guesa
that W. C." Congleton, of Paulina,
will perhaps be the man.
Judge Springer has moved all his
personal effects to this city and is
residing here.
Since the above was written a
long petition which is being gener
ally signed, Is being circulated ask
ing the court to appoint H. J. Lister.
of Paulina, to the position.
