rights of all persons now filing
Income Tax returns are amply
protected by provisions for

"Every person can be sure of

termined solely by the amount
and nature of his net Income for
1018, as denned In the law.

BEND CLAIMS CHAMPIONSHIP
Agreement Waa Two Game To Re
Played IWwnen Each Hchool
Ilend Failed On Return Game
Tho baaketball situation In Central
Oregon seem at a atandatlll because
of the fact that Bend High refuses to
play the return game with C. C. H. S.
as per their agreement.
Bend II. 8. cornea up with the argu
ment that as neither the Redmond or
Madras floors are regulation floors
they ahould both be barred from the
aioioclatlon, and as she won from C.
C. H. B. on her own floor, therefore
aha haswon thn championship of Cen
tral Oregon. That Is Just as clear as
mud. What we cannot understand is
why Ilend did not make thla object
ion at the beginning ot the season. If
she had done so she would not have
had to play a game to win the cham
pionship. Just eliminate all the con
testants and then declare herself the
champion. ' '
The standing of the Central Oregon
teams Is as follows: C. C. 11. S, Has
won 3 games and lost 2; Hend"H. 8.
has won 2 games and lost 3; Mudrns
11, 8. has won 3 and lost 2; and Reu
m ond Is out of the race.
C. C II, B, has played one game
with Ilend II S. on the Ilend floor, the
game being won by Bend. They were
to play a return game here February
28, as their agrnment which follows
will show;
COPY
"January 18, 1(19,
"Mr. Eugene Miller,
"Prlnevllle, Oregon,
"Dear Blr Yours of Jan. 14 at
hand, and dates tor games etc. are
entirely satisfactory.
"We shall expect you February 7,
and our team will go to Prlnevllle
February 28.
'Very truly yours.
B(lnged) RALPH C. JOHNSON,
"Principal of Schools."
But after stalling around as long
as possible they refuse to come to
Prineville for the reasons above stat
ed, which are exactly no reasons at
all. We wonder it the recent game
between C. C. H. 8. aud Madras II. 8.
did not trlghtn them somewhat. How
ever, they have shown very poor
sportsmanship and It is up to them
to come through or forfeit the cliam
Dlonshln.
It C. C. H. S. should win the said
game, which was to be played here
with Bund, then the final game ofi
the championship series would have
been played with Madras on the Bend
floor, to decide which team should
represent Central Oregon at Eugene.
The following letter was sent to
the principal ot the Bend H. 8.:
"March 4, 1919
"Mr. It. C. Johnson, Principal,
"Bond High 8chool,
"Bend, Oregon,
"Dear Sir Referring to phone con
versation of even date with your
coach, T. D, Sexton, In which he puts
forth a claim of the basketball cham
ploshlp of the association for your
team, we submit the following reply:
"It was agreed that two games
should be played between the two
teams, 'as per copy herewith. By
this agreement there Is still one game
due us, which we have stood ready to
play at the times agreed upon, and
claim our right to have such game
played before the time for the state
games at Eugene.
"We do not approve of the stand
taken by Mr. Sexton, that, owing to
the alleged fact that the floor at Red
mond Is not a regulation floor, that
games played thereon are not bind
ing. This ruling would serve to de
bar Redmond from ruture participa
tion In the games of the association
on their floor, making all their games
obligatory upon a neutral floor, either
that at Prlnevllle or at Bend.
"Further, by the same contention,
Madras- would be debarred In a like
manner, as their floor Is even less
true to regulation type than that ot
Redmond.
"If you Insist upon your stand, we
submit the fact that, barring the
games of this season played upon the
Redmond and the Madras floors, the
score shows that Bend team has won
two games and lost one game upon
the floors at Prlnevllle and Bend;
and this is also the record of the
Prlnevllle team. This constitutes a
tie, and we Insist upon our right of
playing off this tie In time to com
pete at Eugene, should we be the suc
cessful contestant In the local asso
ciation, whose champion must be de
cided by the game yet to be played
between the teams ot Bend and Prine
ville high schools. ,
"We shall claim the championship
by forfeit, if you fall to make satiB
factory arrangements for, the playing
of the game in ample time to permit
the winner to take part In the con
tests at Eugene,
"A very prompt reply is essential
as the time Is short. Awaiting your
word In the matter, we remain,
"Yours truly,
"E. E. EVANS, Prin. C. C. H, S."

I'AHKEH AWAY AT HIH HOME
AT 8:43 MARCH THIRD
HIS DEATH IS A GREAT SHOCK
Death Is Ascribed To A General
.. Breakdown In Health Begin
' ' nlng Several Months Ago
Salem, Ore., March 4. Governor
James Wlthycombe, Oregon's 16th
Chief Executive, died suddenly at his
Salem home at 8:45 o'clock last
night. The summons came at the
end of a day which the governor had
given to the study ot a large number
of bills passed by the recent legisla
ture, several ot which he approved
and one of which he vetoed during
the day. Ben Alcott, secretary ot
state, succeeded immediately to the
governorship.
Chester A. Moores, private secre
tary of the late Governor Withy
combe, said today that arrangements
for the funeral of the governor can
not be made until the arrival of the
governor's son, Robert Wlthycombe,
from Eastern Oregon. He is expect
ed today and the funeral arrange
ments may be made and announced
late this afternoon.
While Governor Wlthycombe had
been in broken physical condition for
months, which many of his friends
feared was 'grave, the end was not
believed to be so near, and those who
have been closest to him in the re
cent strenuous weeks were surprised
and shocked at the sudden announce
ment of his death. With him, at his
passing were Mrs. Wlthycombe, Miss
Mabel Wlthycombe, his daughter,
Earl Wlthyoombe, his youngest son,
and Mrs. Harry Wlthycombe a daughter-in-law.
His son, Harry Withy
combe, is on his way to Salem from
Havre. Mont., and another son. Rob
ert Wlthycombe, Is comimj from Un-
ion, Oregon.
The governor's death Is not ascrib-
ed to any particular cause, but to a
general breaking down in health
which began several months ago,
More noticeably, the governor hud
been failine for the last, two weeks.
The tasks that confronted Governor!
Withycombe during a large part of
his term of office, due to war condi
tions, were more difficult than those
faced by any previous governor. This
and the strenuousness of his last po -
litical campaign, and mftiiy months of

life be served as director of the Ore-

station, and for a number ot years he
was state veterinarian. Doubtless the
primary ideal that he set in his pub
lic life was to see Oregon become the
leading agricultural state of the un
ion. Farming in a general way and par
ticularly development of the dairy
ing industry and the culture of clover
took much of his attention He was
instrumental in increasing the dairy

OOOannually, when he became direct
or of the experiment station, to $20,
000,000 annually when he quit that
office. It has been estimated that
while serving as director and travel
