PRINEVILLE AND BEND TIE FOR LOW PUCE A bitter contest Is being waged, apparently, between Prlnevlllo and llend baseball teams for low place In the Central Oregon League. Whether the Prinevllle team Is Mulling, and will get a pace and ad vance to first place as has been their custom for years or not remains to be seen, but results thus tar show them to be almimt as poor as the Bend team, than which there are no poorer baseball players In captivity.

Prinevllle has no apologies to cf'r, tfi-j' r.-ent over to win. The official score shows Tetherow allowed 20 hits with 4 errors be hind htm, but there was plenty of opportunity to convert some of these hit Into putoutB, had Prinevllle' fielding been up to usual standard. Bonehead plays coupled with loose fielding helped to lose the game as much as Tetherow having an off day. Staplcton played a game that was classA. Albee worked well at short, Merchant made the Bend slahster respect him, Bowman and Ellis tried a come-back and they came back to Prlnevlllo. With dally practice this week, look out Jefferson. The scoring started In the third, Merchant waited out, stole second, Albee walking, Bowman's hit scor ing Merchant and placing Albee on third, Albee scoring on an error by Davis. Prinevllle tied the score in the ninth 7 to 7, Erickson getting a two-bagger, reaching third on Sta pleton's hit and scoring on an error. Prinevllle in their half of the tenth, had what should have been a safe lead of three runs, but Bend held a swatfest and annexed tour runs. Springer started the parade getting a double, Stover singled and Springer scored on a bone-head by ErickBon. Merrill scored Stover with a three-base hit but was put out on an assist Albee-Stapleton.

T ARE LEGAL KNGINKKK'H ESTIMATES ARK APPROVED WORK HAY START IN 60 DAYS Work HecniR Hure During This Year Contract Made Willi Hood ing Houhc At an all day Besslon of the Board of Director of the Ochoco Irriga tion District on last Saturday, the affair of the district reached a cul mination which will make it possi ble to know within the next sixty days whether the district will be able to complete its plans, or wheth er the war situation will mean an Indefinite delay. The first good news received was an opiniou from Messrs. Teal, Minor and Wlnfree, attorneys, who are the recognized bond lawyers of the nnithwtflrt, that all the legal steps leading up to and including the election for the formation of the district and the bond election were legal and that the proposed bonds have been legally authorized. The next was a careful and thor ough report from the engineer who represent the bond house of Clark Kendall & Co., approving in nearly all respects the plans and estimator of Project Engineer Rea. Thin, engineer was A. J. Wiley, a Wan wno ha had as much or more ex perlence as any other man In the United States In the actual construc tion of irrigation projects. The difference in cost between the proj ect engineer and Mr. Wiley was very slight. Mr. Wiley in his report recommended that the district buy its power locally Instead of Install ing a power plant at the dam and that one pumping station for rais ing water to certain lands In Dry Creek be eliminated and this recom mendation the board has determined to follow. The Board also entered Into a contract with Clark Kendall ft Co.. which will make it possible for them to place the bonds, If condi tions on account ot the war do not prevent the sale ot this class of municipal bonds. The contract in effect provides: That Clark, Kendall & Co., shall employ a contractor who shall be satisfactory to the board who shall construct the main dam and the first 15 miles of main canal for Continued on page tototo 8 L An association of alumni and friends of the University of Oregon from the counties of Crook and Des chutes was effected at the Pilot Butte Inn at Bend on Saturday, May 19, by Mrs. Millican, appointed by the Governor as chairman of the above counties.

A FINAL WORD ON ROAD BOND BILL ROVIDES FOR IMMEDIATE COX. HTKl'l TIOS OK HIGHWAYS AUTO OWNERS WILL PAY BILL Fund In Already Voted and Muxt lie I'ulil by Car Owners and Itoad Tax Much has been said In opposition to the good roads bond bill that has no bearing whatever on the measure and which could be designed only to poison and prejudice the voters against it. That being the case, the following pertinent facts are sub mitted for the information and thoughtful consideration of the Im partial voter on the eve of the spe cial election June 4th: This road bond bill proposes the issuance ot ' $,000,000 twenty-five year four per cent bonds for the construction of a system of state wide hard-surfaced highways. The roads to be Improved are designated In the bill and include the main traveled roads throughout the state. Adequate revenue has been pro vided by statute for paying both in terest and principal and retire the bonds at maturity without increas ing taxes. The money derived from j the increased automobile licenses i and the existing quarter-mill state road tax will pay the interest and retire the bonds and leave a sub stantial balance for the construction of other roads not enumerated In the bond bill. The increased automobile license and the state road tax are provided by statutes now In effect and will have to be paid regardless of whether or not the road bonds are voted at the special election June 4. The automobile owner is willing to pay the increased license. All that he asks is that the license money, which has to be paid any way, be expended In constructing the roads proposed in the bond bill. The automobile owner will provide all of the money necessary to meet the Interest charges and retire the bonds. He fails to see why there should be any opposition to the ex penditure of the money so provided in the construction of good roads, in , view of the fact that it is his money that will pay for the im provements. All ot the money raised from the bonds will be expended under the direction of the State Highway Com mission, appointed by Governor Withycombe. The Commission has announced that in expending the fund all sections of the state will be considered Impartially. A dollar's Worth of road construction for every dollar expended is guaranteed by the Commissioners who have de clared that they will purchase one or more paving plants and lay pav ing unless satisfactory bids are sub mitted by paving contractors. Or dinary common-sense business prin ciple will also govern the Commis sioners In their work of road build ing. Scarcity Of labor and the reasonableness of war-time prices tor materials will determine the time for inaugurating work and the scope of actual road construction. Road building will not be under taken by the Commission unless con ditions are favorable. Approval of the road bond bill June 4th, will be an Indorsement of a plan that insures for the state the construction of a system of hard surfaced roads with funds already provided by law and without in creasing other taxes.

War census marshals, or regis trars, have been appointed by Sher iff Knox, one in each voting precinct in the county. ' Each marshal, or registrar, has appointed, or there has been ap pointed for him, a number of dep uty registrars or marshals, to assist him in the , work of registration when the census day comes. ' Places for registration in- each precinct have been, or are being chosen, the plan so far as possible being to use the regular precinct voting place. No compensation 1s to be paid the registrars or their , deputies for their services, nor is any charge to be made for the use of the polling place where on private property, citizens named for the work being expected to give their services for the day without remuneration as a patriotic duty. On the census day, Tuesday, June 5, all male citizens between the ages of 21 and 30, inclusive, are to present themselves at the place of registration in the precinct of their residence and give the information called for by the registration offi cers. This will be recorded by the officers on cards. All persons of the designated agea who are too sick to go to the place of. registration may send their cards, properly filled out, . by a friend. All present in a precinct, whose home precinct is elsewhere, may fill out the cards at the office of the county clerk in the precinct where they are, and mail them to the sheriff of their home county.
