of that stream will be checked to
day barring accidents, and from this
time forward the flow of the stream
will be controlled, first until the
reservoir has filled to the point
where water will run through the
conduit and spillway back into the
stream, and after the main dam is
comploted, the gates will be closed
which will allow the reservoir to fill.
Excellent material for the dam la
being found on the south bank of
the stream, and the base Is going In
In the best of condition.
Clay and other material, with a
large amount of rock, is being
washed In large quantities every
day, the rock material forming much
of the contents of the dam near the
face, and the finer material toward
the down stream side.
gome of the large boulders are
being broken up with powder, so
that they will be small enough to go
through the pipe that carries the
material to the dam.
' The giants are operated contin
uously, and move much material in
a very short time.

wilt not delay this work, although
it will be more uncomfortable for

DER COVERIXO DRAFT
CROOK S QUOTA WILL BE SMALL
Next Cull May Not Take Any From
This County Kays Board
Mem Iter
From the order Issued on Friday
by General Crowder, It seems that
the men listed In class one will be
first called to do military duty for
the nation. y
This does not signify that the
other' classes will not be subject to
call, for the demand for mechanics
and special classes of labor for mil
itary purposes may take men from
some of them soon, but it does sig
nify that the first class will perhaps
be exhausted before the next is
called upon to any great extent.
The quota for Crook County for
the next call, which will not be
made tor a month or more. Is almost
If not quite filled according to
Sheriff Knox of the local exemption
board. He thinks that the men In
class one will be sufficient to fill all
needs tor a long time to come, es
pecially as there seems to be a plan
to admit all men becoming of age
during the year to class one, which
will add about 700,000 to the avail
able supply each year.
The list from this county has
been kept full to this time with vol
unteers,' and it seems that if any
are needed for the next draft, , It
will be but few.

SCHOOL LA in US REDEEMED
Judge Duffy Confirmed by Supreme
Court
The state supreme court handed
down a decision Tuesday which con
firmed the decision of Circuit Judge
T. E. J. Duffy, and restored to the
state school fund 3890.31 acres of
land In this county and lands in
other counties, a total of 9130
acres.

CITY OFFICIAL PAPER FOR CITY OF PRINEVILLE
CONGRESSMAN JOHNSON
Congressman Royal C. Johnson of
Aberdeen, 8. D., who has enlisted as a
private in the regular army.
WAR VETERANS HERE
ON FEBRUARY FIRST
On the afternoon of February 1,
unless some accident occurs to dis
arrange the schedule they have pre
pared, three men from the front in
France, all Canadian officers,, will
speak In this city.
The men are: Lieutenant Colonel
J. M. Macmillan, Major F. B. Ed
wards and Captain E. J. Gook.'
' Lieutenant Colonel Macmillan
served with the Seventh Battalion,
First British Columbia Regiment,
enlisting on Asgust 4,1914, the date
of the declaration of war. He went
overseas with the first Canadian di
vision. Among the great engage
ments in which he participated are
Neuve Chapelle, the second battle of
Ypres, Festubert, Givenchy, the op
erations before Messines and the
Somme.
Major Edwards Wounded
He was recalled to England as
assistant director of transport, and
promoted to Major, later receiving
appointments as assistant director
of supply and transport, overseas
Canadians, with the rank of Lieu
tenant Colonel. He is now on fur
lough. Major Edwards was a Lieutenant
in the Canadian militia regiment,
30th British Columbia Horse, at the
outbreak of war. When the regi
ment arrived in Flanders it went
Into the trenches in the Ploegsteert
sector, then the Dickebusch sector,
followed by service at Hill 63.
When the regiment was reorgan
ized to an infantry battalion, it was
transferred to the Ypres salient.
Major Edwards, then a Captain, was
wounded for the first time during
the Sanctuary Wood action, being
shot in the hip. Upon his return to
hia regiment it was moved to the
Somme. At Reglna trench, the gal
lant officer was wounded for the last
; time and permanently retired from
active service. The price he paid
was the loss of both arms, torn off
by high explosives.
He has now been returned to
Canada for duty at Resthaven Mili
tary Convalescent Hospital. He was
j recommended for the military cross
in October, 1916, and received
! special mention in dispatches by Sir
j Douglas Haig.
j Captain E. J. Gook, the huge Ir
' repressive boy of the party, entered
service with the Western Canadian
Cavalry, enlisting in August, 1914.
Ypres, the Somme and Festubert
are but three of the many engage
ments through which he passed.
At Festubert, in an assault on
German third-line trenches, Captain
Gook stopped two soft-nosed ' ma
chine gun bullets, which entered the
rigt side and traversed the stom-
ach. Contrary to all the predic
j tions, he recovered. It was also his
fortune to be "gassed" at the sec
ond battle of Ypres. The full com
plement of his wounds Includes one
in the left elbow.
Following recovery from his
wounds Captain Gook served as an
Instructor in military training
schools in France and England. He
was also Provost-Marshal in London
for some months, and air raids are
j by
no means novelties to him.
