BOND ISSUE CARRIED
The sale of $6,000,000.00 worth
of bonds for road purposes in Ore
gon was authorized at the special
election held on Monday by a safe
margin.
Many of the counties voted heavy
for the bonds, the greatest plurality
being in Multnomah which gave a
majority for the issue of 15,000
votes.
Crook County gave a small major
ity for the Issue as indicated by in
complete returns.
The measure Increasing he pay
for members of the legislature was
defeated, as was the authorization
of a new penitentiary.
Interest was very slight in the
election, only about 40 per cent of
the registered vote being polled.

The Prlncvlllii Red Cross has been

and women.
The local chapter has for Its field
all of Crook County, and will do Its
part in the great national move

of our wounded In the world war.
The allotment of amounts to be
raised by the different .branches has
been made and $5,000.00 will be
expected from the Prlnevllle Chap

doubt.
$fi00,000.00 Is the amount that
the state is called upon to raise at
this time, $400,000.00 of which will
come from Portland alone. ,
The Red Cross is a very necessary
part of the great war machine, and
must be liberally supported.
DR. GERVIN GOES TO
Dr. J. II. Gervin, who came to
this city about four months ago to
take the pastorate of the First
Christian church, will leave for
Chicago next Monday where he will
begin a series of lectures on an
Eaatern Chautauqua circuit which
will take him through Illinois, In
diana, Ohio and Michigan and will
keep him engaged until the latter
part of August when he will return
to Prineville to take up his pastoral
work.
Dr. Gervin Is a lecturer of con
siderable repute in the East and
Middle West. Press and other
comments on the work done by Dr.
Gervin, printed on heralds recently
received here, go as strong as to
say: "Dr. Gervin's lecture was one
hundred per cent plus and the best
on the program." He is considered
among the first as an inspirational
lecturer and orator on the Chautau
qua platform and Prineville is for
tunate in having such a man as pas
tor of one of her churches.

Game at Metoliu featured by Fire1
Works lu Fourth
The game at Metollus last Sun
day was a well earned victory for
Prlnevllie. Even without the dis
astrous fourth inning which netted
ua four runs, Prineville would have
won 2 to 1. In this now famous
fourth, Merchant started the fire
works with a pretty two-bagger over
third, but after some hesitation the
umpire called it a foul. Stapleton
and McCall protested loudly without
avail and that game little player had !
to come back. This time with two
and two on bim he ctouted safely
over second and landed smiling at
first. Then followed quickly walks
for C. Blair and Paul filling the
bases. Steel's hit sent Merchant
over the plate and Tetherow'a poke!
to Boring caught Blair at home for
the first out. McCall landed on
first on an error by Marion and
with the bases still full, Clark drove
in two runs with a hit over second,
and the inning ended by Stapleton'a
fly to Kalama and Erickson's strike
out, leaving two to die on bases.
After this Boring tightened up
and pitched good ball. Prineville
made its other two runs in the first
on a walk, a steal and a hit, and in
the seventh on a hit, a steal and an
error.
Jefferson's onlv score came in the
third on au error, a sacrifice and a ! age war Price" nl material scarci
