Bowman, the duly elected, qualified and acting treasurer ot Crook County, Oregon, do hereby certify that the entire sum of $96,000 voted for 'permanent road improvement by the electors of Crook County, In June, 1918, and to procure which the bonds of Crook County, Oregon, were authorized to be sold, and were sold a tew mouths ago, is now lying In the banks at Prlnevllle to the credit of the county treasurer, and no part of the said sum of $95,000 or the prem ium of $4,537.20 paid by the successful bidders tor said bonds, have been expended for surveys, right-of-ways or other expense in connect ion with locating or building highways. IN TESTIMONY WHEREOF, I have hereunto affixed my band this 24th day of October, 1919. . (Signed) A. R. BOWMAN, County Treasurer In connection with the proposed bond Issue to be voted upon Novem ber 7, It should ba borne In mind that the $220,000 proposed to be author ized is supplemental to the $95,000 Issue approved by the people June 4, 1918. It should be borne in mind further that It is necessary to add the $220,000 to the $95,000 in order to make any sort of progress toward road Improvement iq Crook county. No part ot the $95,000 approved by the people in June, 1918, bsa been spent for any purpose whatsoever, as appears from the certificate ot the county treasurer above. The survey ing and location expense already In curred, has been paid by the State Highway Commission and Crook county has paid no part of it, nor Is the county liable to pay any ot it. This expense is borne purely by the highway commission out of funds provided by the state. The $95,000 realized from the sale of the bonds, which was made last May May 29, 1918 now lies in the banks at Prlnevllle, invested in U. S. Treasury certificates, redeemable at the pleasure of the county, which cer tificates draw interest at the rate of 4 per cent per annum. The bonds draw 5V4 per cent. T IS A SUCCESS The smoker held Tuesday night at the Club Hall was a success from ev ery angle. The crowd, though not large, was given a good show for the money and the contests were snappy and exciting. Roy Anderson gained a clean de sclslon over Jack Larry In the wrest ling match, throwing his opponent the first fall In 27 minutes and the second In 15 minutes. In the prncipal boxing event Young Wolgast received a clean desctsion over his man in the third round. There were a number of good prelim inaries and the evening was well en Joyed by the fans. The mayor has appointed the fol lowing citizens as a boxtng commis sion: Dr. Rosnberg, Sheriff Combs, and Marshal Price. Frank Johnson is the official matchmaker and the athletic fans of Prlnevllle are now assured of some real contests, every thing connected with the bouts will be on the square. The smokers will be held at frequent Interval from this time on, the next one being a match between Anderson and Tangen of Bend, for a $200 purse on Novem ber 15. I. O. O. F. GRAND OFFICER COMING TO PRINEVILLE Grand Secretary E. E. Sharron and District Deputy M. R. Biggs are mak ing a tour of inspection of the I. O. O. F, lodges in this part of the state and will be In Prineville for the reg ular meeting next Tuesday evening. All Odd Fellows are requested to be present. WORLD'S GREATEST DAY come to town. At the sale, the county received a premium from the successful bidders amounting to $4,537.20. On Octo ber 1, the first semi-annual interest date, the county paid from this sum of $4,537.20, interest for six months on the $95,000, or the sum of $2, 612.60. This Is the exact status of the $95,000 issue. So long as the county is not using the money realized from the sale ot the first bond issue, it is losing but 1 per cent per annum and has a fund of $4,637.20 from which to pay It. At that rate it would take a con siderable time to use up the premium received for the bonds. It is the deBire of the county court to use this sum to the best interests of the county, and that can only be done by adding to it another issue of $220,000, owing to the rapid in crease in the cost of construction work. Otherwise the $95,000, when expended alone would not do any ap preciable amount of permanent road work at present prices, and there is no liklihood of an early dropping of the cost estimates. There Is only one solution of the problem, and that is to vote the bonds and thereby tell the highway commis sion to proceed with the work. BEND BUNCH ARE POOR A number of cars loaded with boosters for the local football teams journeyed to Bend Saturday and wit nessed the games played there be tween the high schools and the pub lic schools. The high school game resulted in a decision for the host city of 12 to 13, while the latter closed with a tie score, both games being hard fought and the players in good form. The most noteworthy feature of the games was the absolute rowdy ism and lack ot true sportsmanship of others than the players. School girls and others In the crowd at the suggestion of those in authority in the Bend schools, so we are informed, rushed far inside the lines and blocked the Prineville team on occasions when it seemed a touch down was to be made by the visitors, not once, but several times, in an ap parent hope ot assisting the Bend teams to hold the visitors. If this was the only offense it would not have been so noticeable to the visitors, but the conduct ot the young ladies, both before and after the games, was anything but what would be expected of pupils in a host school on such an occasion. A letter of apology has been re ceived from school officials, who attempted to disclaim any responsi bility for the misconduct of the stu dents ot the Bend schools. It is to be hoped that Prineville young people will not so far forget their sportsman instincts, or disre gard' the fact that they are and should conduct themselves as young men and women and stoop to such T AGAINST CITY CONTRACTOR WINS IN SUIT TO RECOVER DAMAGES JUDGMENT IS FOR 14,245.72 New Suit lit Filed For Further Sum of $8,418.87 Award Made on Classification A judgment against the city of Prlnevllle in th sum of $14,245.72, plus $100 costs, was awarded in the circuit court to E. T. and M. H. Johnson, contractors on the construc tion of the City of Prineville Ry last week. The suit was filed shortly after the completion of the road by the con tractors, claiming a difference in classification, and was returned by Judge Campbell, who tried the case here some months ago. An additional gum of $8,418.87 is asked in another suit filed since the return of the first verdict by B. O. Skulason and W. E. Critchlow, attor neys for the Johnsons. Attorneys for the city do not con sider that the contractor has any case In this action, however, while in the first instance they always con ceded that there was room for a dif ference of opinion. WILL GO ON THE MAT FOR 2O0 Anderson To Meet Tangen of Bend In This City Novmber IS Prineville fans who enjoy a close ly contested match on the mat will be given such a treat on November 15 when Roy Anderson, former champ Ion in the middle weight class in the United States, will meet Paul Tangen ot Bend for a $200 side purse. - The meeting was arranged follow ing the smoker Tuesday evening, and will be held at the Commercial Club hall. THREE DEER AND FOOT OF SNOW Hunters Have Good Luck But Are Noncommittal As To Who Got j The Deer Gardner Perry, Geo. Roberts and L. C. Perry of this city returned the first of the week from a ten days' trip into the Blue mountains. Three deer were bagged by the party, who report hunting not so bad but a foot of snow makes camping somewhat unpleasant. The young er members of the party recommend that anyone wanting to know all about the trip should consult L. C. Perr for a full account ot just what occurred. FAREWELL.

REGULAR MEETING OF LEGION The regular meeting of the local post American Legion, will be held Monday evening at the Spanish War Veteran's room at the court house. All members and former service men are urged to be present. tactics when the visitors come to this city in the future. The fact that students In the Bend schools are rowdies, or some of them at least, should not make our students wish to copy rfter them. We know that many of the resi dents of Bend would not countenance such conduct on the part of their students if they knew and realized the corcumstances. The condition is to be regretted for the reason that the schools ot Prine ville and Bend "are the strongest scvhools in this part ot the state, and should mingle together in athletics on many occasions, which will be hin dered rather than encouraged by in decent tactics on the part of either of the schools.
