JAY VITOX ANNOUNCES CANDIDACY FOR SENATOR Jay Upton of Prlneville, who has Just retired after two terms as Presi dent of the Oregon Irrigation Con gress has announced that he will be a candidate at the primaries for the Re publican nomination for State Sena tor from the district comprising Kla math, Lake, Deschutes, Jefferson and Crook counties. "My reason for making the an nouncement at this time," he said, is to set at rest rumors that I might be a candidate for other offices that have been mentioned. I do not in tend to make any active campaign. I think that my efforts during the past five years to secure the Irrigation of the vast arid areas In Central Ore gon and my efforts as a Good Roads Booster have enabled the people of this district to determine whether or not I will make them a satisfactory senator and If they want me to repre sent them in that capacity, I am at their disposal. I have not prepared a platform but I will do so when the time for filing arrives. I can say, however, that I am against the Rad icals and Reds of all kinds. I am a Spanish War Veteran and my entire sympathies are with the American Legion in their fight for 100 per cent Americanism. We need moro and bettor roads in this district and we need more irrigation development. I will do my utmost, to bring these about. The great lumbering interests in Klamath and Deschutes counties nre entitled to better transportation facilities. The isolated country schools need more assistance. This Senatorial district which comprises nearly one-fourth the area of the State of Oregon, is entitled to more representation in the State legisla ture, both in the Senate and In the house, and it will be my purpose to try to secure a proper increase, so that each county may have a proper representattion in the legislature." CHRISTIAN CHURCH The Sunday school if this church is maintained for the purpose of giv ing instruction in God's Word: It is for you to come and become a mem ber of the school.

Joe Wilson, James Ivy and Mrs. Snodderly were arrested here, and the plant brought to the Jail to be used as evidence. Following this raid, R. S.

MADRAS FRIDAY Friday night the Madras High School team will come to Prineville for a return game with the Prineville team. Thus far Madras is the only undefeated team in Central Oregon, and it lies with Prineville to show whether or not they are to be the champions for 1920, as Prineville Is the only team in this part of the state that stands any show of defeating them. A large crowd of Prineville rooters will be needed to back up the local team and spur them on to victory. If Prineville wins this game, the basket ball championship will lie between Prineville and Madras. The percen tages for the teams at present is as follows: Madras, won all 1.000 Prineville, w. 2 lost 1 0. 666 2-3 Redmond, lost all 0.000 TRINEVILLE TOWN WINS The Redmond town team stood no show for a victory over the local team with "Shorty Foster" picking all of their passes out of the air. While the visitors showed excellent team work, they were outclassed from the begin ning by the Prineville team, both in team work and accuracy in basket shooting. From the playing which the local ouintet exhibited, it is unfn to prophesy that they will bring home the bacon in any encounter they may have with other teams thla voar.
