CHRISTMAS
Christmas is the season when
everyone should halt and consider
some deed of cheer (or his fellow cit
izens, or strive in some manner to
make the world a better place in
which to live.
It is likewise the season when the
community and the individual
should take stock of the year that is
to come.
This particular part of the best
state in the best nation on earth has
a number of things that may be con
sidered community Christmas gifts.
' First and perhaps most important
is the announcement of the tact that
we are to have the Benham Falls
project built by federal money.
All of our effort to secure irriga
tion, irrigation congress meetings,
and like gatherings, the construction
of systems by the use of private cap
ital, some semi-private capital, while
this state has been paying into the
federal reclamation fund large sums
of money and receiving little or no
benefits in return, these oat bee
of less importance than the one an
nouncement that the Benham Falls
project is approved by the govern
ment, is selected for the big devel
opment that is due Oregon, and that
the work is to start in 1921.
Vast tracts of land that are bat a
liability to the county and the na-
tlon, thousands upon thousands of
acres that have but brought ruin to j
every man who has been enterpris-l
ing enough to attempt the task of
dry farming with the application of
water will bring happy homes and
much taxable wealth to the commun
ity, the state and nation.
These, then, are a part of the
Christmas gifts to Central Oregon,
of which Prineville is the center.
We might enumerate more things,
as a system of state highways ra
diating from Prineville as the spokes
from a wheel, but enough for this
tjme, j in the County Courthouse in the City
Just now It is being brought very j of Prineville, Oregon, for the pur
forcefully to our attention that alt chase of bonds of said County issued
fiv-sr this world of ours there are in- j tor the building of permanent roads
nu.ent children starving to death, in therein in the sum of $100,000, or
want of the necessities that we Am-! any portion thereof, same being In
ericans in our self-satisfied lives take j denominations of $1000 each, nam
for' granted as necessary. If we feel bered from 1 upwards dated Decem
that this is the beat country in the j ber 1, 1920" and maturing serially as
world, and we do, it should be easy I follows:
for us to forego some of our little $6,000 five (5) years from date
praug luxuries, so that the little call- j of issue!
dren who are holding out their arms ' $7,000 six (6) years from date of
to us for assistance in their days
sieed may not be disappointed.
