RALPH PORFILY HOI
BURNED EARLY TODAY
The little cottage of Ralph Porflly
on the east end of Second street,
was destroyed by fire about seven
o'clock this morning.
The blase originated apparently
from an overheated stove pipe flue,
and was well under way before be
ing discovered by the Inmates of
the dwelling. ,

no water mains to this .district as
yet, but little could be done toward
extinguishing the flames. The build
ing was a total loss, but most of
the contents were saved.
A bucket brigade was unable to
do much good for the reason that
no water could be had at a conven
lent diRtance.
The dwelling was recently pur-
chatted by Mr. Porflly from Mrs. M
L. Everett.

BREEDERS FORM LIVE
STOCK ASSOCIATION
The Central Oregon Pure Bred
Live Stock Association was organ
ized In this city recently.
Such organizations while iew in
the Central Oregon couptry, have
long been well established in those
middle western states noted tor the
production of pure bred live stock.
It was such an organization that
was instf umental In bringing the
representatives of the Brazilian
government to Waukesha, Wiscon
sin, to buy bulls. A similar organi
zation which is proving the success
of the, idea was formed in Union
County, Oregon, this spring and
their breeders' directory is now at
tracting the attention of buyers and
the live stock world in general, to
the merits of the animals owned in
Union County.
The objects of the organization
as defined at the Prineville meeting
were as follows:
(1) To establish a reputation
for the Central Oregon country as
a breeding center.
(2) To promote, encourage and
improve the production of pure bred
live stock. ,
(3) To advertise the opportuni
ties of the country for pure bred
live stock growing and to advertise
the breeders and their stock.
(4) To issue annually a direct
ory ot the Central Oregon Pure Bred
Live Stock Association containing a
list ot the members and the breeds
of registered stock bred by each as
well as to furnish space ; for ads,
cuts, etc.
That there is ample need for such
an association and such a directory
Was well recognized by those who
saw the live stock exhibits at the
Oregon Inter-State Fair. Attention
was particularly directed to the
Shorthorns exhibited by M. R.
Biggs, the Angus by Warren, Dick
son & McDowell, and the . splendid
Delaine Merinos and Rambouillets
shown by the Baldwin Sheep Com
pany. , Such animals are worthy ot
prominence in the show rings and
live stock circles throughout the
entire northwest, and In fact any
where. The Central Oregon Pure
Bred Live Stock Asociation by
means ot its directory will be of
assistance in bringing this about,
The officers and directors of the
Association are as follows:. Presi
dent, M. R. Biggs, Shorthorn cattle
Prineville; Vice-President, Henry
McCall, Jersey and Holstein cattle,
Prineville; Secretary-Treasurer, R,
A. Ward, county agricultural agent,
Redmond. Directors: S. S. Stearns
Hereford cattle, Prineville; G. H.
Berkley, Rambouillets and Delaine
Merino sheep, Hay Creek; John
Kemling, Jersey cattle, Prineville;
E. C. Park, Jersey cattle, Redmond;
Sam Woods, Jersey cattle, Redmond
and C. M. Elkins, Pure Bred sheep
Prineville.
A director's meeting will be held
in the very near future to adopt a
constitution and by-laws and to
arrange for the publication of the
directory.

part that our young men were sacri
ficing their lives and that when
they go to the front they must hare
the warmest clothing and the beat
food that is possible to give them.
To . make this possible he urged .
everyone to stand back of the gov
ernment and buy Liberty Loaa
Bonds. , "We will not he satisfled"
said Mr. Stevenson, "until the Sam
mies march into the city pt Berlin
singing, There'll be a hot time in

man, president of the S. P. & S. Ry.

bonds as he possibly could.
