H. S. GIRLS' ACTION
At a meeting of the Shumla Club
Saturday afternoon, a resolution was
passed, commending the action of the
high school girls in adopting the rec
ommendation of their principal for
the wearing of plain dresses at the
annual reception.
This affair had promised to develop
into something of a dress parade, and
it was suggested by Principal E. E.
Evans that more modest apparel on
the part of the young- ladies would be
more appropriate, which suggestion
was very wisely accepted by them.
The reception was pronounced one
of the most successful in the history
of the school.
L. A. Newell, the Chevrolet dealer,
returned Tuesday from a business trip
to Portland.
Eddie McFarland of Paulina is at
tending to business matters in Prine-
vllle this week.
i No class of business waa more ef
fected by the war than the men's fur
nishing stores, for these firms depend
for a large part of their trade upon
men of fighting age. ,
The fact that all men who did not
go to the front were urged to conserve
both materials and resource caused
a decided slump in their buying.
Since fighting ceased, and the boys
have returned, they are all buying
one or more suits of clothing, and
those men who did not serve In the
army or navy, having worn out, such
clothing as they had on band, are
buying new.
Prineville's men's shop is owned by
Robinson & Clifton, and they are busy
these days, fitting out the fellows
who did not or could not buy during
the tew years Just passed.
The proprietors of this store have
had many years' experience in dry
goods lines and have specialized in
men's wear for much of that time.
Every known article for men 1b in
cluded in the stock of this store, and
frequent shipments arriving from the
various centers brings the most up-to-date
articles as soon as they are to be
had in any large city in the land.
Just at present they have a large
fall line of suits, new hats and shoes
for the trade, and one of the best as
sorted displays of ties a man could
find anywhere.
The fact that customers never men
tioned mail order houses, while a few
years ago the prices and other feat
ures of the business leads Mr. Robin
son to believe that the people have
either become more loyal to their
home town or the experiences they
have had in mail order buying has
been such as to cause it to fall to a
minimum in volume. -A
look through the various lines of
clean, new clothing, is sufficient to
convince anyone that the difference
in buying from such a stock that can
be readily examined and in buying
by mail is enough to eliminate the
latter trade entirely.
The Bear Creek Irrigation District
was organized at an election held on
Wednesday, by the unanimous vote of
the land owners represented In the
district
The board of directors was chosen
at the same election and is composed
of C. C. Dunlap, E. A. Parker, and
Henry Carlin.
These men have already held their
first meeting, hired Rhea Luper, who
is considered one of the best irriga
tion engineers In the State, as their
project engineer, and hope to have
water for the coming crop season.
Work of locating permanent lines
for canals, and starting construction
for the reservoir, which will perhaps
be a rock and earth fill structure,
will be started by Engineer Luper
about October 1, and will be carried
forward with all speed.
Among the prominent men who are
property holders in the district, are
Henry Carlin, E. A. Parker, C. C.
Dunham, E. T. Luthy, Smith Land A
Cattle Co., C. J. Johnson, and A. J.
Rickman.
The entire Bear Creek Valley will
be included in this district, making a
total of about 2,000 acres
