TO BEGIN WITH "The deYelopment of Crook County, and may God pity the man who don't stand hitched." We have nailed the above motto to the flag pole and this week take full con trol ot the editorial management ot the Crook County Journal. As an nounced last week, the plant has been purchased by a corporation and the undersigned will control a mi rity of the stock, at least for the present. In taking over the paper we have not been unmindful ot the responsibilities, nor the amount ot aara work necessary. to conduct the paper to the satisfaction of the com munity, and to lend that assistance expected and required in the devel opment of the county as a whole. The poucy of the paper is fully set torth in the above quotation, and it shall be our purpose and expectation to carry it out to the letter. If we can lend a helping hand, in whatever capacity it may be, to the big things in store for this community during the next three or five years, we will have fulfilled our ambition. It is iiot a new deal for us, and we know mat the success of the business fi nancially and the Influence for good. If any, in the affairs of the whole community depend to a great extent upon tne support given by the gen kibi yuDiic. mis support we are asking so long as the policy of the paper and its business management merit that support. The editor is a democrat, reserving to ourselves me right to define the word, but it hall not be our purpose to dabble !n partisan politics, and we fully res et ve the right to support such men and such measures as we believe In our humble judgment, to be to the best interests of Crook Countv especially and to the Central Oregon section. Mr. W. B. Russell will continue In charge of the mechanical department assisted by Mr. Edwin A. Abbott, and Zeke E. Hendrickson will remain in charge of the general business af fairs. These men all control more or less of the stock of the company ' and will be at the service of the pat rons at all times in whatever can or may be done to help the business long. Lot C. Pearce will continue as Linotype man. We insist that the advertising and job patrons of iu piaiu ieei tree to call upon them ccmes direct from the convention at San FranciBco where he fought one (if the mpmnrahln haltlna v. . i at any time.

The chief ot police of that good city In formed the blatherskite that hustled him off to jail when he re fused to desist. It is said that the audience, composed chiefly of tor eign born residents, set up a great howl when they saw their idol in the tuinons of the law. Many ot them were wearing red ribbons and agents were present selling a book entitled the "Centralia Conspiracy." Change the Declaration ot Inde pendence, forsooth! This from man who has spent and Is spending tne lite ot a leach, taking money from the moat ignorant of our pop ulation. Thia from a man who spends his time In defense of those whose avowed purpose is the over throw of American institutions and who do not stop at cowardly mur der to carry out their designs. This irom a man who will laud the I. W W, and other kindred screeds and prate about the "philosophy" of their creeds. Yes. change the grand old Declaration of Independence, if you dare, out change so that no man may have the protection ot Araerl can freedom who is not wiling to give and does not give in return a full measure of loyalty. Change it, it you will, but change It so that such cattle as Vanderveer and his cohorts win be forced, in the face of firing squad if need be. to pay the full pen alty tor their sins committed against this government and its people. No man can claim the protection of lib eral laws unless he is willing (hat others, also, may share with him the blessings of life, liberty and the pur suit of happiness. This man is an outlaw, has been convicted time and again of offenses against criminal Laws of his country. Those repre sented by him have boasted the "hon or" of having been sentenced, along with Bill Haywood, by the higher courts of this land, to wear the pris on stripes for years for having been disloyal to this government in times oi great stress. When the Declare tion of Independence was written it was expected that this government would rorever protect its people from the influx of this lawless band, and no provision has ever been made for tneir adequate punishment. Great Fishhooks! A Portland di vorced father and mother are en gaged in a lawsuit over the body of their son who recently died in the service of his country. The young man died at Mare Island while in the service of the navy; the father had the body shipped to him and buried in his burying ground; the mother haa brought suit to recover the body. When people become so out of tune with each other and the Impulses of common decency, as this Irdicatej, they should be chloroformed. The liquor Interests can obtain very little encouragement out ot the fact that both big parties have seem ingly ignored the wet and dry Issue There Is no such thing as a wet or dry Issue, since by their silence both parties have In fact endorsed the present law, and both have declared for strict enforcement. It might have been more constant had the nit. n.ima apoiien out on tne question, but they both mean the same thing. Prineville people are beainnlna t realise what the free camn tmnnH is worth In dollars and cents. We have one of the best appointed camp grounds In the country and there is not a day passes that it la not visited by from two to tea auto mobiles filled with tourists. Dur ing the celebration and the Chautau qua the grounds accommodated a great number of people daily. Now is a mlahtv rood tlma rv.r the farmers to take a look over their crops and begin to make selections for the farm exhibit at thn fui- .hi. fall. Some splendid exhibits were overiooKeo last year because people did not begin in time. Make sure that we do not repeat this mistake. mans efficiency and the results he obtains. In the smaller cities where every one knows everyone else, this is not worked out every day. But In the larger cities It Is demonstrated daily, For example, you may go anion strangers.

WILLIAM JENNINGS BRYAN Mr. Bryan is one of the ereatest political philosophers of this age. We may not agree wifh him mlit- ically; we may not agree with him ou Pending Problems, but we do know that he is a big hearted, sin cere American in every sense of the wora. rot as a partisan, but as nn of the leading American statesmen, rrinevnie welcomes him tomorrow The Elison-White people bring him to us tnis year among other exeat entertainers on Its program as an ad ded attraction. They are doing this in making good their promise last year to give us the very strongest program to be obtained. Mr. Bryan do not believe at this time that the neld is ripe for this extra expense u ume ana -material, and by com bining all advertising and news mat ter in one issue, we feel that we can better serve the public, especially our advertisers and subscribers. The size of our paper will be made to fit the occassion, the more advertising the larger will be the number of pages. Pledging ourselves to at all times labor for Oiose higher and better things for the community -m ..b for the paper the same loyal sup port it has commanded in the past N. G. WALLACE. THE CHAUTAUQUA ASSOCIATION This year Prineville has paid too much for its whistle. Not that we did not get a good, nice, entertain ing whistle, but it The point we are trying to make is that the community should not be called upon to finance more that one ween of this kind of entertain ment, with this thought in mind there bas been organized a Crook County Co-operative Chautauqua Association, the object of which is to make contracts and finance this great ana highly entertaining attrac tion in the future. The nln call for a membership fee of one dollar per annum and the dues will be fix ed at a sum that will equal the guar antee necessary to back up the fu ture contracts, it is also expected that the other towns in this section Bend, Redmond and Madras, will have like associations and that they will co-operate with us in bringing the best talent obtainable and at the same time attempt to have the en tertainment come at a time when the people on the ranches are not so bufey with their haying. This can be done with proper effort on the part of the four towns. Articles of associa tion have been prepared and filed with the corporation department at Salem, a number of people have Signed the articles, and now It is up to those who realize ih honpiia irom tnese entertainments to put """ uauie on me dotted line and become members. You will be given an opportunity to do it this week. it you have not already done so, and it is a matter that should not be put off from day to day as heretofore. U . l . . J Hare umu successiui in everything there, may have gone down to defeat in some respects as he has been de- leaiea in days agone, but no man cau help admiring bis sturdiness and tenacity in every instance where real in iuuipie was at siaae. Prineville is honored in having as its guest a man who has risen from obscurity in 1896 to the most talked of man in America today, the one man who puts his stamp on every single na tional policy. He may not always control, in fact seldom does, but his muuence is to be seen everywhere. Coming as he does direct from the late seat of war in his partv. he will, without any question, bring to the people a most interesting and in structive message. His lecture will be a treat our people cannot afford to miss. If the two great political nrii. will only use the bricks thev have accumulated for each other In erecting something constructive something really worth while, they may yet retain each a great place In American history. Prineville did Itself fnmnua with the celebration and from tha ,.v the crowds were hanging around on "may ana Monday every fellow no attended nad a good time and as satisfied with what he f. his money. The man or boy who will spend his time Idling on the streets when his oeip iB so mucn needed by the ranch era at a big wage, is not a good cit iiten. Every man has a right to be crazy about some one- thing, but no man has a right to be crazy about everything. Harding of Ohio; Cox of Ohio; platforms satisfactory to neither party as a whole. A most interest ing political situation. If you heard Burns last Tueudav night, you know now that the breed of real men is not altogether extinct in this country. Have you Joined the Chautauqua Association? The action of Circuit Judge Tucker of Portland in upholding Governor Olcott when he fired Nelson of As toria from the state pilot commis sion last September, is just another notice to the world that the fellow who refused to stand hitched to the American vehicle during the war will sooner Or later get it in the neck. Kelson was summarily fired by the governor when hs insisted on re taining in a responsible position an alien slacltpr and refusing to give the Job to a returned service man. CROOK COUNTY LAGGING The drive for membership in the vregon mate chamber of Commerce in Crook County Js lagging badly. This is not the Crook County spirit. This work is one of the most import ant we have, been called upon to perform since the war days. The State Chamber is a state institution; it has for its purpose the develnn. ment of the entire state: it haa ho. hind it some of the most progressive and public spirited men In the whole state; these men are giving of their time ana money, without compensa tion to carry on the work outlined by representatives from everv ennntv in the state. We can make this or ganization worth thousands of dol lars to urook county if we will only use it. It has never failed; us when we have gone to them with anv nr.-i. i'Biuon oi merit, and will not do so. we nave some big things to do in this section in the next three tilings which must be done, and if we are in position to do so and win call upon the State Chamber, there is no more potent factor at our com mand to assist in these big things Membership costs five dollars ner auuuui aim personal and community i'huo uiuiaies to us that we should fill the quota of this county at once aim ciear tne record of Crook county for carrying its end of all the work ior tne wnoie state.

The fellow who will use dynamit" and spears to take fish from the lakes and streams of the State is pretty badly lop-sided. In addition to that he is engaged in pretty dan gerous business. The State Game Commission have a standing reward of one hundred dollars for the ar rest and conviction of anyone using dynamite and fifty dollars reward tor the arrest and conviction of any one using a spear. The fellow who cannot take all the fish he needs with a rod and fly should make up hit! mind that he has no business! bothering those who can do so Occasionally you will hear some I'oor misused citizen remark that American independence is a thing of the past.

APPRAISED O.V CLOTHES Clothes don't make th e man fa n trite expression. True, they don't make the man, but they help make him. Of course, the nrinclnlna whi.h go into human life are the imnnrt. and things. The heart and brain and hand are important , things. Yet people do react to clothes, uress a man or woman in w.n out clothes of good quality and the man or woman unconsciously refWio ih clothes in their manner.

A COMMUNITY WATER 8Y8TE.il For years past, the city, the county the High School and the publl: school have been paying large sums of money to the local light and water people for water. This expense has grown until it has become una nf thn heaviest burdens to be met by the citizens. Kew people have realized what It costs in dollars and cents to ktp green lawns at the Court bouse the two school buildings and the city park. Then should be taken into consideration the matter of water for street sprinkling, and this item alone has been real heavy and will keep mounting. The city bas paid out thousands of dollars for the park and for sprinkling; the high school iiu me puouc scnooi have both been paying large sums each year for water during school terms and much more during the summer months for the lawns; the county has paid from forty to sixty dollars each month curing the summer for water alone It is conservative to sav that the ! combined cost of water for the four I properties and the buildings has been rrom one humlsed fifty dollars to two I hundred dollars each month during1 -u Dill llinilllK IKflHIl . - l finm ..... been claimed that this sum waB cx-! i nut u is a fact that it has been a fearful burden to the people who pay the bills. ..I'll6 ."f 'nteresl together and decided to each bear one-fourth of the cost of a system that will sup ply ample water for all purposes for the city, county and the two schools.
