the schools did come directly from
this source.

ANNOUNCE CONTEST
FOR INFLUENZA
The mate board of health, at a spe
cial meeting held Jan. 24, 1920.,
In Portland, passed emergency rules
and regulations which are deemed
adequate to cope with the epidemic of
so-tailed Spanish Influenza. These
regulations are, briefly, to the effect
that all persons occupying a position
to which other persona are subordin
ate, and under their control, shall re
port all cases of Influenza occurring
among their subordinates and all per
sons who have suspicious symptoms
to the health officer having Jurisdic
tion, and shall refuse to permit such
persons to remain at their work so
long as such suspicious conditions ex
ist, being responsible for those un
der their control pending action by
the health officer, or other physician.
All persona, whether physicians,
practitioners, healers, owners or
keepers of rooming houses, hotels,
restaura-its, boarding houses, dairv
j farms, superintendents or managers
J of private or public hospitals or san
j itoria, visiting nurses, heads of
j schools, teachers !n"common and Sun
idf Thoola, and heads of households
are i,-".ulred to placard premises and
I Immediately quarantine all cases of
; so-called Spanish Influenze, and re-
I port to the health officer all clrcum-
stances which would reasonably
cause one to suppose that a case of
! Spanish Influenza might be develop
ing, careruuy lnrorming the health
ot;;oer having Jurisdiction over the
habitation or place of employment,
or residence of the person Infected.
Quarantine. In every case, to be
strictly maintained until raised by the
health officer.
Health officers are required to fur
nish placards and detailed Instruct
ions to all other persons within their
Jurisdiction when quarantine is es
tablished by Buch other persons.
There Is no known preventive In
oculation against the so-called Span
ish Influenza. The adequate enforce
ment of these regulations will be the
best known method of preventing the
irsad of the epidemic, and the
health officers their respective Juris
dictions are charged with the strict
enforcement of these measures.
While the policy of the state board of
health is against closures of churches,
schools, theaters, and other places
where public gatherings are held, It
does earnestly request the coopera
tion of the general public In the mat
ter of voluntarily avoiding unneces
sary exposures.

To the Clerk of the Board of School
Directors:
Wre desire to call your attention to
the provisions of Section 27, chapter
264, General Laws of Oregon for
1919, and to subdivision of Section
25 of the Rules and Regulations of
the Oregon State Board of xHealth,
copies of which are herewith enclos
ed. Owing to the unusual prevalence of
smallpox in the State of Oregon, it
is the intention of the State Board of
Health to rigidly enforce the provis
ions of the Sections above referred
to, and to insist that every child, In
any community where smallpox exists
shall be vaccinated or prohibited
from atending school unless such
child furnishes to the school author
ities the certificates of the Jurisdic
tional health officer, or some other
regularly licensed physician, to the '
effect that such ch'ld has been sue-i
cessfully vaccinated within seven !
years or has had smallpox. j
Section 2 of the Chapter above re-:
ferred to provides that "The State
Board of Health shall have direct
supervision of all matters relating to
the preservation of life and health
of the people of the State" and pro
vides, further, that "the Board shall
have full power in the control of all
communicable diseases." ,
It is not the desire of the State
Board of Health to close any school
in the State of Oregon and thereby
handicap the children in the attain
ment of their education, but the ep
idemic.whlch threatens to involve ev
ery part of the State, must be gotten
under control.
We advise that you seek coopera
tion with your eo-workers and all
teachers and children under your
supervision, In the matter of imme
diately securing vaccination. All
children desiring to attend school
and who have not. obtained a certifi
cate, ns above provided, should sub

OCHOCO FARMERS MEETING
A good sized crowd of Ochoco far
mers atended the meeting of their
association at Grimes Chapel Monday
evening. Chairman Hoelseher report
ed on the recent purchase of elfalfa
seed and said that any ot'uers who
wished seed should communicate with
Ben Sordnl not later than Saturday
night of this week stating the top
limit of price he is willing to pay.
Many matters of Interest were dis
cussed and the question of hiring a
county agriculturist was unanimously
endorsed by the meeting, a commit
tee being appointed to circulate a pe
tition to present to the county court.
To he Commercial Club, Prineville,
I wish to enter your Good Roads
of the quarter-mile of road I inten d
7. There will be three prizes:
First, Second and Third, with a guar
anteed First of $100 cash.; Second
$50 cash and Third $25 caah.
In addition to the above $175 to be
awarded, it Is expected and under
stood that aditional cash and mer
chandise will be donated toward the
contest and It is quite safe to say
that before the contest closes the to
tal prizes offered In cash and useful
merchandise will reach close to $500.
The additional prizes will be publish
ed from time to time In the local pa
pers. 8. The contest closes October 8,
1920, and the awards will be made
from the Judges stand during the Inter-State
Fair on that date.
9. The Judges of the contest will
be Harold Baldwin, E. J. Wilson and
Judge Wallace.
The location of the quarter-mile of
road to be Improved will be selected
by the contestant, but must not be
more than 12 miles from Prlnevllle.
The reason for limiting the contest
to a radius of 12 miles from Prlne
vllle is that It will be impossible for
the Judges to visit the remote sections
of the county at this time of the year.
It Is expected, however, next season
to hold a similar contest taking in
that part of the county extending
from the 12-mile radius to the county
boundary.
Already more than twenty have as
sured the club they will enter and It
is hoped th's number will be more
than doubled before the contest clos
es. Don't wait, but fill out the blank
below and mail to R. L. Schee, Sec
Comercial Club, Prinevllle. Oregon.
If you don't win one of the prizes
you are sure to have a quarer mile
of good road along your place.

Outlook For Project Water
Rising Steadily
Good progress is again being made
on the Ochoco dam after some delays
because of bad weather during the
past sixty days.
Although considerable yardage was
washed into place during January the
progress was hampered because of
low temperature.
The warm weather of the past week
has made progress much more rapid
and a good run is being made every
shift now.
The material supply is better now
than at any time since the work be
gan, an exeelent pit of first class ma
terial having been opened very near
the south end of the structure.
A. , J. Wiley, consulting engineer
for the U. S. Reclamation Service,
and for the bond house of Clark,
Kendall & Co., visited the works yes
terday and was well pleased with the
work that is heing done there.
Mr. Wiley Is optimistic over the
outlook for the project and considers
the structure one of the best in the
country.
Water is rising steadily and in
a week or less at the present rate,
will pass the high mark for storage
for last winter. 1

dam is about four times as great as
it was last spring when filled with
water.
