JUST BETWEEN US
A second time in the past dozen
years, it becomes necessary for me
to tell my many good friends adieu,
in my editorial capacity on this pub
lication. 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.

Washington. No proposal has been
made to the United States by the
allies for the cancellation ot their debts

Regardless of what the views of ad
ministration officials might be, con
gressional action would be required for
any action of this nature.
