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.

The Prinevllle ball team Journey
ed to Bend Sunday and wits defeated
In a game that went ten innings by
a score of 11 to 10. 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,

Prinevllle tied the score in the
ninth 7 to 7, Erickson getting a

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

Contract Made Willi Hood

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

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.
Vote 314 X Yes.

ALL MEN 21 TO 30
Because of the fact that there la
some misunderstanding on the mat
ter of the war census, we are giving
here a summary of the points cover
ed by the new law, and if you read
and follow these instructions yon -will
make no mistakes.
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.
