It is but fitting that I give an ac counting of my conduct and trust, covering the exactly five and a halt years of my expiring term as editor Of this publication. In the issue of the Journal dated January 7, 1915, the following ed itorial was run: "The prime object of the Jour nal will be to advocate and stand for the best interests of Prineville and Crook County and ' the irriga tion and development of all parts of interior Oregon. "Many things are badly needed by Prineville. For example the ir rigation ot the 30,000 acres of land adjoining the town on the North, etc., "At the same time the Intera-its of the people living in the great country to the south and east of us will not be overloked. I feel that the development of the country Is f tar more importance than munici pal improvements and the Interests of the farmers and stockmen are of first Importance in the development of this town." As to Just bow well the paper has fought tor the things mentioned above it is tor you to Judge. The tacts are that the irrigation ot the lands mentioned is now ac ccmplished. Prineville has Its 6w railroad which is a great success, business of all kinds is adding mo mentum every day. Just what part, if any, the Journal has played in these things it is not our duty to estimate or mmition. In this connection we wish to add however that we are extremely grat ified at the existing conditions. In tUe future months at least my lime will be divided between the dvelopment of irrigated land In the district m,nlined above, and lh' publication of the Western Stock (rower, which I expect to edit and with which I h' pe to make the live stock center of the Northwest at Prineville where It should be log ically located. In passing the management and editorial destinies ot the paper to new hands, I feel that no better tal ent could be found anywhere than that included in the concern which is formulating for that purpose, and that your Journal will be a better paper in the future, because of more people being interested in its pub lication, and their ability to do the work at hand. Finally 1 wish to thank the people who have assisted in the widening of the scope of this publication, which has grown from, a small shop to one where seven or more people re employed at times, all busy in the affairs of the plant. There is almost no limit to the re sources and possibilities ot this com munity, and I believe now as I have always believed, the best factor for bringing about the most desirable conditions in the entire community is a strong, vigorous newspaper, and you have that in the Journal. The destiny of the paper lies large ly with the people ot the community and the future of the community it self is even more dependent on lis newspapers. GUY LAFOLLETTE. electrio Oven.

No proposal has been made to the United States by the allies for the cancellation ot their debts to this government or suggesting that their payment be made contingent up on the payment to them ot reparations by Oermany. This was reiterated by treasury officials in commenting on cabled reports Indicating that the sub ject had been under discussion at allied conferences. Regardless of what the views of ad ministration officials might be, con gressional action would be required for any action of this nature. The secretary of the treasury in de ferring the Interest payments on cer tain of the allied debts, Is acting with in limitations under the loan acts of congress beyond which the administra tion cannot go, whether lt so desires or not WOMEN'S HATS NECESSITIES Our News Section Edited at Home GROCERIES ' Our close study of the grocery business enables us to offer you a better as sortment of stock at Prices that Are'Right.
