we have no way of telling thorn of the
wonderful opportunities to be found
hy coming here. Our Idea Is that
some concerted effort should he put
forth at once to check this flow of
people to other parts, and bring them
here.
Goodness knows we have one of
the greatest excuses tor advertising
the people to come here and settle In
our fertile valley, and we want to
say here and now, that unless some
thing radical is done at ouce, that
there is little liklihood ot the Great
Ocboco Project doing this section the
good that was expected ot It wheu
first started.
We wonder it this new automobile
driver license law will not cause some
belated citisen to hang a "license ap
plied tor" sign around bis neck, in
order to keep on the safe side ot the
law.

WHY NOT BOOST?
We believe that it is about time
that the citizenship ot Prineville
hould wake up to the fact that ev
ery other town, outside of our own,
is making every effort possible to ad
Tertise the advantages of their par
ticular section and thereby interest
outsiders to the extent of their join-
. ing mem ana becoming co-workers.
Prineville has not had any hand in
this get-a-citizen campaign, and has
no literature to send out to the many
who make inquiry by mail in regard
to Crook County or the Ochoco Pro
ject. There is scarcely a mail comes
Into Prineville but what contains
uch letters of inquiry, and unless
the Commercial Club or the business
men see to it that this lack of publi
city is taken care of, there is very
little likelihood of any increase in
population. We have a greater rea
son to expect to interest outsiders
than any other town in Eastern Ore
gron, and still we lie dormant and al
low the less favored towns to gather
In the substantial citizens from other
parts of the country, simply "because
ribiot on Rsconnition.

Peculiar Will Upheld.
An elderly frenchman was fount;
dead in his house at Doumely In th
Ardennes. A search among his pa
pers failed to reveal any will until
under his bed, a piece of sheetlron h
discovered, with these words written
en It in white chulk: "I hequentli ui:
my property to the borough of Ar
dennes on condition thut the mayor
gives 12 to the local fire brigade tor
a beanfest. (Signed) ." The rel
atives disputed this queer and very
brief will, but the local court decided
that It was valid.
Trail Pointer.
Ton can't make your face. Perhaps.
If you could, you would make It dif
ferent; perhaps not Bnt you can
n ke your voice. You can make It
pestle or harsh, you can make It pleas
ant or quarrelsome, you can make It
common or refined, you can make It
appealing or repelling. Many a Job
has been refused because of an un
pleasant voice, many a friendship re
buffed because of tones that grate
harshly on the ear. A "common" voice
slams tight shut the door of many so
cial and business opportunities. In

' The Cape canary is the only native
bird of Africa that Is well known for
his sweet and continuous song. He Is

War and Peace.
The difference between war and
peace Is, In war a people are united
against a common enemy; In peace,
each man has blood in his eye and hits
anybody within reach. Houston Post.
