AN URGENT PUBLIC
The need for a public garbage dump
ground, easily accoasable and within
the city llmlta haa become more and
more pronounced as the vacant land
In the Ochoco Irrigation Project Is
being cleared up. On any road lead
ing to town, small and large piles ot
rubbish placed carefully close to the
road so that all may aee them, are
growing In number every day. Be
sides being against State laws, it la
gainst the laws ot common decency
and ahould be stopped Immediately.
Any slough near the city could be
filled with this refuse and made prof
itable property, besides atfordlng a
plAce to put the stuff. Let's see the
Improvement Club get behind this In
their effort to dress up the city and
its environs.

SPECIAL NOTICE I
There is a rumor going around In
Prlnevllle that the farmers of the
Powell Butte section held a meeting
and agreed not to sell this year's
rop of hay for leas tuqn !,'0 per ton.
At a meeting held Monday night I
was instructed to refute this as be
ing entirely false. There has been
no meeting to discuss the price of hay
and no concerted action to hold tor
330 or any other price. The farmers
of this section only desire fair prices;
what Is paid in other sections near
by, and have no desire In any way to
hold up the stockmen.

FARMERS OF POWELL
BUTTE DENY CHARGE
Powell Butte farmers held a meet
ing at their Community Hall one
nlsht recently, and In true Powell
Butte fashion, which is a good, thor
ough manner ot doing things, issued
a statement refuting the rumor that
has recently been current, to the ef
fect that hay growers there were in
a combination to keep the bay prices
up to $30 per ton this year.
They realise that the stockmen are
to be protected against ruinous
prices and do not wish more for their
product than is current in other lo
calities. Powell Butte has, become an im
portant feeding center and does not
wish to lose that position, or Injure
their reputation with livestock men.

The hay crop In the Camp creek
