M- l V I f AAllTrAT THE HRST SALE OF THOROUGHBREDS rUWCLL bUMt W WNNtKd UT HUAU UUN 1 15 1 George Well and Charles Parrlsh, both of Powell Butte, were 4ecldod winners of the quarter mile road im provement contest under the auspic es of the Prlnevllle Commercial Club which cloaed October 8th. In announcing tbe awards at tbe Club luncheon Tuesday noon, Har old Baldwin stated that the Judges had visited each entry made In tbe contest since It was opened In Jan uary, and that the road Improved by Mr. Wells and Mr. Parrlsh Is far su perior to all other quarter-mile stret ches In the contest. He stated that when the contest began the roads might be mentioned as perhaps be ing nothing much more than trails, and since that time they have been enlarged to regulation width, grad ed, and otherwise improved to make them specimens of which any com munity might be proud. As it was absolutely impossible to judge be tween tbe two pieces, the $100 prize was dlvldud equally between, them : The entry of Dave Grimes receiv ed special mention, and the Improve ment by Guy La Toilette on bis quarter-mile piece, and the work of Roy Stewart on the Henry Howard road entry also received notice as being very comendable. The judges were Harold Baldwin. Judge N. G. Wallace and E. J. Wil son. Sometime in . the near future the Comercial Club -will stage a smoker to which all Interested in the wel fare of Prlnevllle and the Club will be invited, the event to have the na ture of a reorganization meeting. At that time the dues question will be discussed, together with other sub jects of vital Interest to the club and to the community. A secretary will be elected to have charge of the books, minutes , and collection of dues. Ray Schee, manager of tbe club, will thereby be relieved of this part of the work, and be will be free tor the more Important issues in connection with the work of the club. Ray Schee, Dr. H. Q. Davis and Arthur Michel will arrange the details. ' Rev. Gafiaher was appointed as chairman of a commute to arrange for a community Thanksgiving ser vice In one of the churches on Nov. 25, he to select his assistants on the committee. It was pointed out that Thanksgiving Day was created from the very essence of American ism, of such importance that the President proclaims it a holiday, and every citizen should realize the ne ceslaty of reverencing and celebrat ing the day. The importance of further civic clean-up, and the desirability of an Xmas tree were also discussed at the meeting. RECEIVE HELP The Pioneer Employment Com pany of Portland has been very suc cessful in supplying Crook county with labor. This company is the oldest in the state, and makes a spe cialty of furm help, handling a big percent of that business going out of Portland. If it had not been for the promptness with which this com pany handled calls tor men this pasc year, the help situation in Crook county might have been much worse. This year the company furnished men for E. T. Slayton, the Lafollet ts, Dickson & McDowell, C .W. Fos ter and several other farmers and stockmen. ' ' QUILTS ARE MADE FOR BABY HOME The plea for little quilts for the Albertina Kerr nursery home in last week's issue of tbe Journal met with a ready response. In the neighbor hood of 65 quilts, dainty as well as practical, have been made by 'the warm-hearted ladies of Prlnevllle. and turned over to Mrs. Robt. Doug las, who this week sent them on to the baby home. Tbe welfare of tbe little homeless babies Is very near to the hearts of the Prlnevllle people, aa their prompt attention to this matter evi dences. MATRON VISITS Ida M. Umbach, Grand Worthy Matron of tbe Eastern Star of Ore gon, visited Carnation Chapter at a special meeting Thursday evening. The degree staff exemplified the work of the order for the visitor, Leo Lafollette acting as candidate for the occasion. Mrs. Umbach proved herself to have a very thorough understand ing of all points and questions com ing up in Connection with the wort, and her suggestions were genuinely helpful in Improving the local chap ter in many way The Masonic rooms were beautiful ly decorated for Mrs. Urn bach's visit witb a number of boquets of pink carnations and greenery, which har monized . well with the effective white dresses of the degree staff. A very appetizing spread of fruit salad and sandwiches, topped off with pumpkin pie and whipped cream, together with coffee, was ser ved In the banquet room to all. The turnout for the meeting was very large, the lodge room being comfortably full, and everyone had the privilege of meeting and talking with the Worthy Grand Matron. C. C. H. S. Tl By defeating the Redmond high school, here last Saturday afternoon Crook County High School won the Central Oregon Conference football championship. Last Saturday's me lee resulted in a score of 55 to 0, in Crook County's favor. The cham pions have won every game played this year by large margins. Though they played a losing game from the beginning, the Red mond team were a nervy bunch of players, and never gave up until the end, RED CROSS SUNDAY Next Sunday, the 14th, has been designated by a nation-wide move ment as Red Cross Roll Call Sunday, Rev. M. R. Gallaher of the Metho dist church and Rev. Patterson of the Presbyterian church have pre pared special services for the occasion! CROOK CO. H.S. NOTES By Clarence Mertschlng Last Saturday, Redmond went down for the count as all the other teams have done that have faced tbe Crook county aggregation. This time the score was 56 to 0. With a brisk sunshiny day and a dry field to favor the players, Redmond lined up after the kickoff to tender Prlne vllle a .bit of what the C . C. H. has been handing out to the other teams. Redmond fought to win her greatest glory- to win from an unde feated team. Prlnevllle fought to clinch the championship. In t'-is first sweep of the game Redmond bad the local boys bested. Howev er, after a few scrimages the Prino ville line soon bit its stride and set tled down to work. Redmond's line punches were weak, and when they were able to make a hole in our line, Mills,, Smith aud jlacobs were on band to obstruct further advance in a very capable manner. On end runs, Ayres usually got around tbe interference and tackled the man be fore much progres was made. ' On the other end, however, Smith in tbe halfback position during defense, played well up to the line and conse quently bore the brunt of the attack With little success in line plunges, Uedmond resorted to passes. A. number were completed, petting yar number were completed, netting yar dage for Redmond. Mills succeed ed in intercepting several of their passes, while the remainder of their attack was a failure. O'Kelley play ing at safety when Prineville was on tbe defense, played bu part of the game well in returning the punts. When Prineville held tbe offensive playing, end runs featured as a yard r.ge maker. Coach Medley's enu run formations proved too much foi the opponents again, and line bucks were generally successful. On of fensive playing Smith and O'Kelley displayed their competency in ad vancing the ball on end runs. While on line bucks, Mills tore into tbe line for the needed yardage. Smithy also came up fine in line bucks when he laid before the eyes of the home crowd his dexterity in dodging thru small openings. Shattuck made his first score for the team when he re ceived a pass from Mills and ran thd ball down the field for a touchdown. The game was snappy all the time and the spirit of rivalry did not abate at any stage of the game. Several comments were made by both players and spectators in re gard to the clean manner in which the game was played and the good feeling among the players. Next Friday. November 12. the second team will play the Redmond second team at Redmond. Not be ing able to arrange for more games the second team has played only one game this season and that was with Redmond, here during the fnir. It will be remembered that earlier in the season, Burns attempted to ar range for a game on Armistice Day, but an answer was mailed to there, refusing a game. Recently a tele gram was received from Bums, of fering $250 to bring our team over there on the 11th. A meeting of the boys was held to decide upon what kind of an answer should be return ed. The decision arrived at was, no game would . be played. The chief reason for refusing the game was on account of length - of the trip, and especially under present weather oonditions. A combination o f ' 8 h or thorns, Herefords, and Abendeen Angus cat tle will be held at Prineville next spring. ' If this goes as well as expected, a fall sale will be held at fair time, and semiannual sales will be held every year. Among the breeders who are ex pected to consign are M. R. Biggs, Frank Foster aAd George F. Gallup, Shorthorns; the Baldwin Sheep Co H. D. Dunham, J. R. Breese and Stearns Bros., Herefords, and Dick Bon & McDowell and the Prineville Land and Live Stock company, Ab erdeen Anguses. It is believed the county will ab sorb most of the offerings, but the outside public will be invited to at tend,, for these breeders have some as good blood lines as the breeds af ford and most of the stock will be offered in good condition, showing; them to be excellent individuals. Harry Cranke, auctioneer, will have cbarge of the sale. This is the first public sale of purebred cattle of different breed to be announced for this territory, and is the beginning of a custom that will mark Prineville as the live stock center of Oregon. GOVERNOR OLCOH El Governor Olcott has issued the fol lowing endorsement of the Fourth. Red Cross Roll Call: ' State of Oregon, Executive De partment, Salem, October 29, 1920. To tbe people of Oregon The Fourth Red Cross Rool Call has been set for the period from November 11 to November 25, and I bespeak your hearty assistance in this movement. The Roll Call is not a drive nor a campaign, as I understand it. It la. merely a re-enlistment of member for service, and the financial obliga tion attached is but SI. 00 yearly. What the Red Cross accomplished in the great war is so vivid in the minds of everyone that no doubt there will be a spontaneous re-enlistment in membership throughout the state, and I feel that many who may have failed to join in the past will become members of this splen did organization.
