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

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. ' '

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.

Red Cross Roll Call: '

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

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
