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. James Fellows,

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.
Cloak and dressing rooms for
ladies and men will also be a feat
ure. The Masonic lodge is the mother
lodgo of this part of the State.
Organized under a charter dated
June 16, 1880, or 39 years ago, it
has at present over 90 active mem
bers and has had the honor of sup
plying one Grand Master for the
grand lodge of Oregon in the person
of the late T. 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.

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

ELKS GET BEHIND
CAMPAIGN IN STATE
. 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.

"Bob" Cannon Takes 25 Head Two

Bob Cannon of Mitchell purchased
25 head of steers from Raymond Cal

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.
