HONEY FROM $85,000 ISSUE
STILL IN BANK TO COUNTY'S CREDIT
8TATE OF OREGON
ss.
COUNTY OF CROOK
I, A. R. 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

of $8,418.87 Award Made on
Classification
A judgment against the city of

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.

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.

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.
