on Thursday for the manufacture and
sale of intoxicating liquor, which was
it Is allegod, made and sold at Jone's
sawmill on the Ochoco.

and costs amounting to about $50
and given CO days in Jail.
The case was appealed and will be
tried In the circuit court, pending
which Loudon is at liborty on a bond
of $500.
Sheriff Combs made the arrest and
produced evidence that proved in the
minds of the Jury at least, that Lon
don was guilty of manufacturing a
brand of "white mule" that had all
the kick of its namesake.
He said that a small quantity of
the stuff was poured out onto a log
set on fire and burned with a blue
flame that looked like it might be
pure alcohol.

Mr. Ross Is not yet ready to pos

It can be said, however, that the
other members of tho firm, Chas.

business during the past few years,
handling Buiek, Overland, Chandler,

DID YOU EVER RIDE IN
AN AEROPLANE?
Hore is your chnce. Don't forget
that Prineville Is to have a late mod
el aeroplane here doing all kinds of
stunts In both, plain and fancy flying
during the Oregon Inter-State Fair
The Ace Aircraft Corporation of Port
land is furnishing the machine which
will arrive under its own power sev
eral days before the opening of the
fair. Passengers will be carried for
a nominal fee so that anyone desiring
may have a real Joy-ride. Remember
the dates, October 1, 2, 3, 4.
NEW BONDS COULD BE ISSUED
Sentiment Seemn to Favor Construc
tion That Will Ijwt For All
Time 4'ommlNaion And
Court Planning
A proposition to issue additional
county road bonda In the sum of $12-
000.00 may be submitted to the vot
ers of this county at some early date,
for the construction of a system of
highways In cooperation with the
State and Federal government that
will serve every section of the county.
The Increased cost of construction
throughout the State has made It
necessary for the highway commission
to reconsider many of the projects
before starting construction, the sys
tem In this county being one of the
number.
The commission is now conslderlg
plans whereby the Crooked River
Powell Butte road may be construct
ed within the limit before figured.
which would make It possible to pro
ceed wltnout additional funds from
the county, but should they not be
able to do this. It wilt be necessary
for the county to vote more bonds In
order to get the construction started.
It seems to the court that a pro
gram taking rare of the entire county,
Including Crooked River, Bear Creek,
Ochoco, McKay, Powell Butte Paulina
and all other parts of the county
could be Included In the project, and
that bonds could be isaued only at
such times as the cooperative efort
on the part of the State and Nation
would make them do the moat good.
Sentiment seems to favor a plan of
tbis kind, and the court Invitee sug
gestions from the taxpayers in the
mfttter.
The plaa was submitted to the men
present at last Friday's luncheon and
all present expressed themselves In
favor of the move, ahould the court
and commission deem It wise to take
the step.
PREPARING EXHIBITS
1IEGIN NOW TO PLAN FOB
THIS YEAR'S CONTEST
HEARTY COOPERATION NEEDED
There Is No Place Where Farmers
(Jet Together And Compare
Method and KenultH So Well
Tho requirements for grain exhib
its at the Oregon Inter-Slate Fair
j hero October 1-5 call for a bundle at
! lenat six Inches In diameter at the
band. Some fairs require these bun
Idles to be only five inches at the
I band, but by meeting the require-
i """ i inmr-oiitiB iair, me ex-
section should be shown at all the
fairs. All of the people in this part
of the State Bhould be Interested in
what those in every other section are
doing and at no place can the farmers
and others get together and show
what they can raise better that at the
Agricultural Fairs. Write to R. L.
Schee, Prineville, Oregon, secretary
of the Oregon Inter-State Fair, for a
prize list and any other information
that you may desire.
Grain exhibits should' be gathered
before they are dead ripe. Gather as
carefully as possible, tie in a bun
dle or sheaf, dip buts in salt water
and hang In a cool shady place with
the heads down. As soon as well
cured take bundle down, strip oft
the leaves and make a neat bundle
not less than six inches in diameter at
the bond, with heads straight and
even and the straw cut off square at
tho butts. Grasses must be gather
ed at the time they show best, should
be tied at once into bundles of the
required size and hung in a cool, dry
placo with heads down. Vegetables
must bo left in the ground or on the
vine unm ripe, exepinig lommous,
which may be gathered Just as they
are turning In color and allowed to
rlpon in a cool, shady place. AH ex
hibits requiring more than one speci
men should be uniform in size and
shape and of the size which the mar
ket requires, excopting where prize
Is offered for largest specimen or
other requirements are to be met. If
vegetables or fruits must be gathered
a considerable time before the fair,
it will be best to wrap each specimen
separately in paper or cloth and place
them all in a cool, dry place.
If you have not already begun sav
ing or making exhibits for the fair,
begin now, and let us all work togeth
er to make the Oregon Inter-State
iKatr bigger and better than ever before.

PENDLETON XEW8PAPEB
OWNER IN PRINEVTJ I.E
L. D. Drake, one of the owners of
The East Oregonlan at Pendleton,
with a party of friends spent Tuesday
night In Prineville. The party la on
ita way to the big Elk convention at
Klamath Falls, making the trip by
auto. With Mr. Drake were Geo. D.
Fell and Robert Simpson.
Mn Drake is an enthusiastic and
inveterate booster for the Eastern
Oregon metropolis and while making
a call on the Journal he assured us
that anyone not taking in the Round
up this year would miss the biggest
thing ever pulled off in the world, of
Its kind. Mr. Drake is probably the
founder of the Pendleton Round-up,
having named the affair and given it
the slogan that has become known
almost all over the world.
He la at present tne Exalted Ruler
of the Pendleton lodge of Elks and
is representing that body at the con
vention. He stopped his Round-up
propaganda long enough to say that
thia was the finest country, outside
of Pendleton that he had seen and
praised the progressive spirit of the
citizens for their railroad and Irri
gation project.
