A BIGGER ERA
The sale of Crook County bonds
last week at a large margin abore par,
the expenditure of that money on a
cooperative basis which will mean
three dollars worth of highway for
every dollar invested by the county,
the reception giTen the Improvement
bonds at Tuesdays' election, all fore
cast an era of development that will
eclipse anything ever seen In the west
--d will bring Crook county and
Prineville from the remote position it
so long held in the state, to the center
of activity before the change is real
ised by the old settlers.
The changes will make necessary
the production of better grades of
livestock, the greater care for those
produced, and more careful handling
of farm lands and other resources of
the community.
More people, more prosperity and
general improvement of conditions
will follow the road and other de
velopment, and surely a bigger and
better community, county and state.
