MOItK THAN THIRTV KXJOY SIGHTS FROM TIIK CXOUDS fllC IS WONDERFUL SPORTiTOTAL ATTENDANCE NOW 149 Field lleftt Encountered In State Hay M. Itofh Air Found To He Humpy And Light For the first time in the history of the city, many of the leading cit izens of Prineville were actually "up In the air" during the paBt week. The ,Ace Aircraft Corporation plane, ably piloted by Lieutenant Roth, did a rushing business from the velvet green field of M. R. Biggs at Wlllowdalo Meadows, which pro vided tho most perfect field he has found this year, during the days of the Oregon Inter-State Fair, and ov er Sunday and Monday. 4 Lieutenant Roth did no passenger carrying In the afternoons on fair days, for then did he do exhibition flights, tail spins, the I mm el man turn, loop the loop, nose dive and a few other hair rslslng stunts for the edification of the thousands at tending the fair. The plane came Into Prlnevllle'i view from the east shortly before noon last Thursday flying like an eagle, almost a mile above the Och oro valley, above the dam, and cir cling the city, returned to the land ing field, previously locsted by the advance man. The altitude was rap Idly lost In a series of swoops and turns that resembled the manouvers of a huge dragon fly and came to the desire three-point landing with, the grace and ease of a true bird of the air. ; From Summit to Prineville, banks of snow clouds were encountered and the air was very cold, but the day was perfect here, and the mam moth "T" stamped on the green meadow was visible many miles sway to the flyers. The air, generally-speaking was bumpy, the aviators said, snd full of air pockets, which were more not iceable because of the fact that the altitude Is greater than that in many of the places In the state where they have been, and the plane Is heavv and low powered for such light air. A rushing business was waiting the flyers on Sunday, and although passengers were charged at the rate of f 1 .00 per minute for their fun, there was a waiting list throughout the day. When one considers that the gas consumption of the plane Is more thsn fifteen cents a minute, the eight large cylinders having a good appetite, It Is readily seen that the Income Is not all profit, even in the business of flying. "Flving is a wlnderful sensation," said M. R. Elliott, well known attor ney, "I have long promised myself this experience the first opportunity that offered, and as this was the first chance, I accepted It. While there Is, of course, an element of danger In It, there Is danger In al most anything we do these days. I would not have missed the exper ience for considerable." Arthur Michel, of the Michel Grocery Co., said that he did not realize that he was in the air until he saw telephone lines and fences rushing beneath him and the land ing was so easy that he could not feel the contact when It was ac tually made. Mrs. R. W. Rea described the sen sation as wonderful, and says that the air route is the only real way to travel these days. ' Mrs. Hal Cosgray described the flight by saying that it was more en joyable than spending all your time on the ground. R. S. Dixon, who spends his quiet moments on the deck of bad horses, nnd hns a weakness for eight cylin der cars, expressed his pleasure by handing the pilot a "tip" of a $10 bill, after he had landed, saying it was well worth thn price. Lieutenant Roth and his assist ant, Dan Greco, received a message from their field man, Tom Sketchley who was at Shnniko, that a lighting field had been located for them on Tuesday afternoon, and they took to the azure blue nnd startd on their Journey that so many Central Ore gon people have made under such hardships, expecting to make the flight in about one hour, being the first leg of their journey to the Sher man county fair at Moro, where they are making flights this week. Among those who were passen gers on the plane here were the fol lowing: Master Linton Newell, the first passenger from this point, who circled the city and dropped cards of the Newell Motor Company, of which his father Is principal owner, Alice ITnelscher, the first Prineville lady to make a flight.

TRACT IS LET FOR MASONIC BLOCK Pt'GH A XEI-SOX WILL BUILD HANDSOME STRICTURE $20,000.00 CONTRACT PRICE Work Already Undvr Way Preparing For New Building To Be Com. plettMl iu Four Months Contracts were let Tuesday for the construction of the new Masonic block, which is to be constructed on the location of the present building, by the local Masonic lodge. Pugh & Nelson of this city were the successful bidders, securing the con tract for a trifle less than $20,000 for the new building, the wrecking of the old structure and the removal of material. Two other bids were made at a somewhat higher figure. Work has already started on the razing of the old building, and the new building will be ready for occu pancy in the next four months. Pugh & Nelson have the contract for remodeling the First National Bank building in this city and are building the First National Bank building at Redmond at the present time. The new Masonic temple when com pleted will cost with fittings about $30,000 and will be the most mod ern and beautiful building of its kind in this part of the State. The first floor will he divided in to three store rooms, each 26x75 feet, with plate glass, marble and tiled front, and beautiful show win dows. The second floor, entrance to which will be from the Third Btreet side, will be the home of the lodge. The entire floor will be of polished oak, and will be convenient as well as beautifully divided into various rooms for the use of the lodge and the ladies' branch, the Eastern Star. The lodge room will be 35x65 ft., the library 25x30 ft., with a large rustic fire place and other home like fittings, a dining room 30x30 feet, equipped with kitchens, pan tries, closets and like conveniences.

M. Baldwin. The building at present under construction marks the opening of a campaign that, from present in dications, will be the greatest that Prineville has ever seen; and one which promises big things for the future of the town and community. ing, Wister Rosenberg, Geo.

Attendance On Friday Equalled That Of Entire Week In 1914 ALL RECORDS BROKEN THE LAST TWO DAYS Preparations Being Made For Biggest Event Ever in 1920 Whatever grudge the weather man may have against the Oregon Inter State Fair as manifested on the op ening day was forgotten during the remaining days of the event, and no mofe beautiful days could have been ordered to greet the thousands who crowded every capacity of the grounds and city on Thursday, Friday and Saturday. The Friday attendance was the largest !n the history of the institu tion, and while unfortunately there are no turnstyles to tabulate accur ately the exact numbers, all grand stand and bleacher seats were sold, standing room could not be had, and many hundreds occupied other van tage points to witness the program, which wms a good one. The racing program was snappy, and what was pronounced one of the best strings of running horses ever seen here, where there have been many good ones, produced hard fought contests, fast time and close finishes, that brought the crowds to their feet repeatedly. The thrill of the program was the daring stunts of Lt. Roth in the bi plane, who performed all the tricks OAKS CAFE UXDER XEW MGR. Earl A. Boogie in Charge At The New Eating House Earl A.

We have the following announce ment from the State Elks Associa tion, which is self explanatory: "Oregon faces a deficit in the War Savings Certificate campaign aggre gating six millions of dollars. Firm retrenchment of expenditures ordered by the Treasury Department has made it impossible for the War Loan Or ganization of Oregon to maintain forces of such proportions as to in sure the successful raising of this def icit. "The Oregon State Elks Associa tion, under authority given by reso lutions passed at the Grand Lodge session in Atlantic City last July, has assumed responsibility for the raising of Oregon's quota in this last federal financial flrlva. "Publicity is the most effective means of carrying on a campaign of this kind and we earnestly ask that you give the Elks of Oregon your sup port in this campaign. It is the only federal drive now being conducted. The people are not requested to give their funds, but simply to invest their savings in a gilt edge security bear ing 4 per cent interest? compounded. "Five thousand limit memberships, is the slogan of our campaign, and with that goal attained, success ris virtually assured. This state has led in enlistments and government fi nancing throughout the War and surely will not be satisfied to mar such a record by failing to subscribe the quota assigned to her in this cam paign for the year 1919. "Thanking you in advance for any assistance that you may give us, 1 am very sincerely yours. . "JAS. D. OLSON, "Secretary Oregon State "Elks Association, Chair- MITCHELL MAX BUYS STEERS "Bob" Cannon Takes 25 Head Two Year Olds From Calavan Bob Cannon of Mitchell purchased 25 head of steers from Raymond Cal avan the last of the week. The steers bought were two-year-olds and the consideration " was $77.50 per head. Mr. Cannon is in the market for 100 head more of the same age. HOME HOSPITAL IN NEW HANDS The Home Hospital has heen leas ed for a four year period by Mrs. J. F. Short and daughter, who have al ready taken possession. known to aviators with great ease and at various altitudes. Automobile and Ford races were features on the last two days, and were also featured on the Sunday program. The quantity of exhibits In the ag ricultural and livestock department were disappointing, although some of the best exhibits to be seen anywhere were features of the show. To remedy this condition steps are already being taken by prominent stockmen to prepare and bring out the largest livestock show ever seen next year, yhile agricultural interests, especially farmers on the Ochoco Project, are now planning to have an agricultural exhibit that will excell the Powell Butte shows that have been made in the past, at the 1920 fair. From the momentum already at tained it will be quite easy to make the Oregon Inter-State fair one of the very largest and best attended shows in the State and there seem no doubt that support will now be forthcoming that will make the 1920 event a real hummer. OLD LAND MARK IS BEI5G REMOVED Masonic Hall Being Razed For New Structure By Contractors Today the march of progress is obliterating one of the land mark that has seen much of the activities of Prineville in past decades. Workmen are starting to wreck the old Masonic Hall, at the corner of Third and West B streets. In this building Prineville' post office was housed for years when the growth was made from a very small office to one of the most im portant in the state. The first telephone central was lo cated in this building, "Wes." Al dridge operated his Ochoco Review in the building, and other historic things have transpired there, to say nothing of the activities of the lodge on the second floor. During the war the first floor was given over to Red Cross and other war work activities.

BOXING FAXS WITXESS REAL KNOCKOUT SATURDAY I Those who attended the Sailor Han ; son-Ray McCarroll bout at Davidson : grounds Saturday evening saw some I very classy sport as well as some not so scientific, i The main event resulted in a knock , out for Hanson in the sixth round. His superior skill more than offset the heavy difference against him in weight, and although McCarroll did his best the better science caught him i napping at the opening of the sixth i and Hanson delivered a punch to the i jaw that put him down. He came back, however, before the count was finished, only to receive the blow that 1 knocked him out. I McCarroll succeeded in throwing I three men after a short rest, being a better man on the mat than in the ring. I JOSIAH WILLIAMS HAS A GX)I WHEAT CROP Tlireshed 42M: Bushels Per Acre On Land Under Ochoco Project Josiah Wiliams Completed his har vest this week, and threshed 1405 bushels of wheat of the first quality from a field which, drill measure, contained Just 33 acres. The wheat was blue stem and was sown late in May of this year. In addition to the wheat, a stand of alfalfa was secured on the same land. Mr. Williams' attributes the success of the crop to storage water from the ' Ochoco dam, applied in July.
