- Dr. Doans put a wagbnload of bees
Into his orchard, where pollenlxers
had been Disced two years ago, and
this season he secured 50 tons .of
cherries from an orchard which never
before had produced over 15 tons.
Under the head Of industrjal club
work the report reviews the success
ful work done by the canning teams,
the calf, sheep and pig clubs. . Ii is
estimated that the actual cash value
of pigs raised and owned by Wssco
county pig club members this yeaf is
at least $5,000, or sufficient to feed
all of the Wasco county soldiers jfor
a month. The Dalles Chronicle, ;
Edwards Bros, have been solicited
by the Oregon Agricultural College
management of the boys' cattle clubs
for prices on ten head of bull calves
and ten head ot heifers. This offer
comes, no doubt, from the publicity
given these stock growers when-they
purchased the grand champion Here
ford bull at the Pacific International
Live Stock Show and sales held re
cently in Portland.
: I. L. Stelwer last week bought ,
three full blood Durham heifers from;
T. B. Hoover, the purchase price be- j
ing $900. .Mr.. Hoover bid them in at
the sale of full blood Durhams held j
at Portland, during the recent live-.
stock show. These splendid animals
have been placed upon the Steiwer
Stock Farm, a mile and a half below
town, and will add to the value ef
the already well graded stock on this
ranch. v
The ioldiay season just closed was
one of, many, pleasant surprises to
local merchants., Every one who pre
pared In any way to meet the demand
for Christmas goods was well pleased
with the large volume of business
done, a business that -was better than
for years and showed the change in
the public since -the war was closed.
: The crowds - that thronged the
stores from early morning to clos
ing time seemed to select the better
classes of merchandise,, and '. were
pleased to make liberal purchases of
the goods offered, . '
Prospects for the current year are"
bright in all lines, brighter than to
many years past, and with the trend
of conditions toward the normal,
Prineville will' feel the benefits of
rail transportation and the Irrigation
of its nearby lands all business men
are looking forward to an epoch of
unusually good business conditions.
Several changes In location have
been made during the week. W. J.
Hushes has moved his harness and
saddle business to the Morris building
In the block just north of his former
location, where he is prepared to
care for automobile top work Indoors.
' W. 8. Hyde has moved his barber
shop and pool hall Into the Elkins
building, which was recently vacated
by the hardware stock being sold to
H. R. Lakin. Mr. Elkins is closing
up his books In the office of the Och
oco Creamery, where he has desk
room., ' ' 1 ' ' -
Geo. Stevens has moved his sec
ond hand businesu into the Claypool
building, first door north of the Ross--
Douglas Motor -Company garage, - t
- Cornett ft Co. are announcing their
first. anniversary sale, ia which they
offer a $35,000 stock of dry goods at
a twenty per cent, discount. The
move is being made to reduce stocks
ot heavy dry goods preparatory to
invoicing and clearing the shelves
for spring goods.
While all other merchants in the
city -are reporting a fast return to
normal conditions,, no other sale of
merchandise at special prices is an
nounced at this time,
w. a. a.-
That the. early completion of the
Ochoco Irrlation District dam, which
is being constructed by his firm la
not only possible, but most desirable
Is the expression of James Twohy,
who arrived in this city today" from
Portland fo attend a meeting of the
board ot directors of the dotrlct
Mr. Twohy Says that whatever dif
ferences of opinion there may have
been regarding the work are due to
lack of understanding hetwten the
contractor and the district Interests,
and that a thorough discnssloa of
these conditions, many of them due
to war times, will make progness In
a much more rapid manner possible.
Mr. Twohy says that miration pro
jects where he has worked -as con
tractor at other times, have had their
difficulties also, and that in imany
other instances they cost more than
the local project will per acre;
While the difficult problems rela
tive to construction are being worked
out, land owners under the project
should keep in mind the tact that an
abundance ot water is already a3sur
ed for three months in the spring,
and that this properly handled will
prdouce good grain and hay crops.
What available storage water comes
to each farmer will add to this supply.-
' ' : v '. -, -i
i The individual land' owner cannot
benefit from this early water without
canals and other means ot handling
it and these problems are sufficient
to keep anyone who faces them busy
until the water is available which will
be sooner than many suppose.
