MARRIAGES DOUBLED IX 1080 In 1920 there were 46 marriages In Crook county, practically doubling the record of 1919, when 26 couples Bald "I do." Let the skeptic who insists that the fair sex is diffident about making the proposal, or unsuccessful along this line,-look upon this record and be convlpced. No other explanation seems to be In order. There were five divorces in Crook county during the last' year. OREGON KL ROSENBERG Dr. J. II. Rosenberg, of this city, has been appointed by Governor 01 cott as one ot the three new mem bers of the Bute Board of Health. Other new members are Dr. C. J Smith of Portland, and Dr. Geo. E. Houck of Rosehurg. Their appoint ments will become effective January 15th. In: reference to Dr. Rosenberg's appointment, the "Oregonlan" reads as follows: "Dr. Rosenberg, who succeed Dr. C. T. Bacon of 1-a Grande, I well known throughout the stale as a physician and surgeon. He Is a graduate ot the University of Oregon served during the war with Germany, and is an active member of the American Legion. He is also president of the state association of members of the board are Dr. Andrew C. Smith of Portland, Dr. W. F. Morse of Salem, and Dr. F. M. Brooks of Portland. IS Storing space la at a premium at the Ochoco Warehouse right now, ac cording to Mrs. B. H. McMIckle, who manages the local concern. At pres ent fifty thousand sack ot grain are stored op the main floor, almost fil ling ail the available space. The fact that it ia necessary to pile the sack ceiling high shows that it is extremely crowded, as it Is usually considered proper only to stack it up shoulder high on account of the dif ficulty in handling. Mr. McMiekle estimate that at least 10 000 sacks of grain remain out on the segrega tion because there Is no room for storing it in the warehouse. Not alone I the warehouse full, but it has been necessary to pile grain on the platform, which Is very undesir able on account ot exposure. A car load of Btock salt which is now beini; un loaded is also piled there, and it was necessary to construct bunkers for coal recently ' received on the platform. Mrs. McMiekle states that the company could use space at least 100 feet long aded to the warehouse, at the present time, and that unless the grain now stored ( is removed be fore long, that there will be abso lutely no place to store the wool of the coming season. At one time last year, the wool crop completely filled the warehouse. REVIVAL MEETINGS . AT METHODIST CHURCH The revival metings which have been conducted . every evening this week at the Methodist church, will be continued all through next week. Rev. M. R.

His sermons have been di rected against the impediments, to Christianity, his sermon last night being on the subject of Spiritualism, and lie will speak along kindred lines tonight. -Next Sunday morning Mr. Gaila her will preach about the Kingdom of God, and Sunday evuing, "God's Righteousness." Next week the text will be Heb. 3. third verse, "How shall we escape if we neglect so great salvation?" CITY OFFICIAL PAPER FOR CITY OF PRINEVILLE 12I.

FARMERS LOSE IN LAW SUITS Damage suits filed as a reult .of losses alleged to have resulted dur ing the first year of construction of the Ochoco Irrigation District sys tem were reversed on Tuesday by the state supreme court. The cases were decided In favor of the farmers by Judge J. U. Camp bell in the circuit court here some time ago. The cases were in each instance with Twohy Bros, as defendants, and the following as plaintiffs: William Marks, E. T. Slayton, Norris Morgan, H. F, Powell, T. H. Lafollette; and rhe petition for rehearing was de nied in case of O'Neil vs Twohv Bros. W. F. Hammer of The Dalles has been in town several days during the past week looking the Ochoco Pro ject over. SO. 17. ill As spring approaches and th pros pect Improve for a large amount'ot water for irrigation during th enr rent year, farmer on the Ochoco project are discussing more a a d more the need for many small farm Instead of the larger holdings on th project. The fact that the most successful parts of the Powell Butte lrrigaU sections are those where at forty-acr farm is the rule, furnishes first hand proof that the same sized tract ia sufficient for the average settler on the Ochoco project. Conditions are satisfactory for much smaller acreage and a more in tensified care of them during th coming year and the year that at to fobow. A drift toward dairying, poultry and hogs, and like small farm activi ties seems to be general, and this on the irrigated lands coupled with the beef and sheep interests in the rang country to the south and east, will make this one of the most prosper ous countries in the state. 1020 BOUXTIES TOTAL 433.00 $4433 was collected from the treas ury of Crook county by trapper for . bounties during 1920, as follow: 529 coyotes at $3.00 each, 554 coy otes at S 4.00 eact, 306 bobcats at $2.00 each, and one cougar at 110.
