TOURIST TRAVEL HEAVY
The mads In this vicinity are kept
hot these days by the great numbers
of tourists passing through. Most ot
them are from California and Wash
ington, but a great many are from
. the East. According to reports from
all over the country, this is destined
to be the greatest touring year yet
experienced In our history and accord-.
Ing to our ohanrvatlon In this vicinity
we are of the same opinion.
The closing of Europe to travel
and the prosperity and freedom felt
over our entire country due to the
closing of the war are given as the
main reasons for the great desire of
the people to get better acquainted
with the wonders cl America.

SPECIAL MEETING OF COUNCIL
Last night the city council met In
special session to consider certain
petitions of property owners affected
by the opening ot South Main street.
These petition were brought about by
the fact that the city desires the pro
posed extension of said street to be
come part of the State Highway. In
ordor to get this accomplished, the
city had to pay for the right-of-way
through the property affected and re
lieve the property owners of any ex
pense connected with the construct
ion or maintenance of said road. This
gives the State Highway Commission
a clear title to this part of the high
way. w. a.

HKHHIOX CROOK COUNTY COURT
The County Court mot yesterday In
special session at which time matters
of a general nature were diacuaaed.
The most Important topic for -con
sideration was the matter ot the Ocho
co road, of which there were aeveral
details needing the attention of the
Court.
w. a. a.
RIGHT OK WAY It KINO SECURED
The securing of the right-of-way
for the highway up Crooked river is
being rushed. MobI of those damag
ed by the road are readily giving the
right-of-way. Among these are Har
old Baldwin, 8. 8. Stearns, F. S. Hoff
man and L. T. Cox.
C, W. Foster, Mary L McDonald
and Grant Mays retusod to grant a
right-of-way and were promptly sued
by the county, district Attorney W.
II. Wlrtz preparing and serving the
papers. The cases will be tried in
the October term of Court. This In
no way halts the State Highway work
tor they have the privilege ot going
through regardloss of oppqsltlon. The
Court in the case of a suit simply sets
the price to be paid tor the land.
And this Is as it should be. The- day
is past when private enterprise ot any
kind can stand in the path of public
need.

Inslead of Setting The Pace Marion County is
Putting The Brakes on Progress
The general feeling of indignation against the action of Manon county
n the spec lal election took shape In a resolution adopted at a meeting of
the Pnneyilie Commercial Club held In this city last Friday the thirteenth.
The Interests of the two halves of the Bute are opposite in many re
spects and since the State was organized, Marlon county nas fought the
adoption of coyote and rabbit bounty laws which are so vital to this part of
the commonwealth. Marlon county refused to sanction the widows pension
law until forced to do so. In later years It Is agricultural and irrigation
development and livestock laws that are opposed by the Marion county
delegation at the State capltol, but with the good assistance of Multnomah
county, which has awakened to the needs of this part of the State, the
Salem Hog" has been less able to block the wheels of progress than waa
formerly the case.

ple can be somewhat foretold by the folowlng resolution-

Within the past two weeks approxi
mately 18,000 pounds ot American
Glidden barbed wir-a has b'ien receiv
ed in Prineville for ths White Butte
and West Branch Cattle Associations.
This material has all been transport
ed to near the summit of the moun
tain between Priuevlllu and Mitchell
near which place the fences are be
ing built.
Grazing examiner Ingram left on
June 14 th for Baker, where he will
spend two weeks on the Whitman
Forest together with other Grazing
Examiners in making an intensive
reconnaissance of one or two of the
main range units on that Forest. Tha
principal object of this work is to give
j each grazing examiner the benefit
of the other fellows' experience and
i to systematize this line of work.
So great has become .the demand
for trained grazing men that the Civil'
Service Commission has decided to
I give an examination on June 25 and
i 26. This examination will be held at
Bend.
In cooperation with the Forest Ser
j vice, the Silver Creek Cattle Associ
ation have constructed about fifteen
I or twenty salt logs within the past
: three weeks and have a man engaged
in distributing the salt on the range.
This asociation has purchased and'
will distribute salt to the extent ot
ten pounds per head during the time
that stock are on the Forest Range.
Three men are now at work clean
ing logs and brush from roads in the
Snow Mountain country. It will be
the policy of the Forest Service to
extend our road system Just as fast
as posible and it is hoped that with
in two or three years it will be pos
sible to drive an automobile onto al
most any section of the Forest.
In order to stimulate water devel
opment work on the National Forest,
Ranger J. O. F. Anderson will install
two up-to-date watering troughs on
the' Maury range within the next two
or three weeks. It has been demon
strated that seeps which appear in
sufficient for any practical use can
be developed and made to supply
water for a great number of stock if
all the water can be conserved by the
installation of a proper piping system. ,
J. D. Taylor is now at vork for the
Maury Cattle Association building
salt logs, etc.. The Maury Association
has just received through J. F.. Stew
art & Co., about ten tons of compress
ed sulphur salt for use on their range
during the coming season. Mr. Tay
lor will distribute this on the range
at places agreed upon between the
association and the forest service.
