RESOLUTIONS ARE
E
Action that started In the Oregon
Irrigation Congress and resulted In
the introduction of a bill 1n the leg
islature last week as House Bill 17S,
which provides for the elimination
of Btate engineer Percy Cupper, was
met with criticism by local interests
here Tuesday when the Commercial
Club and directors of the Ochoco
Irrigation District each passed reso
lutions condemlng the move made
against the present ordor of things.
The most able engineers, men
whose authority and Integrity aro
above question or reproach make
the statement that Engiueer Cupper
Is the ablest man they have ever
seen in such a position, and those
Interested In local Irrigation devel
opment apparently feel that his re
tention as at present arranged is of
vital Importance.
The following resolution was pas
sed by the Board of directors of the
Ochoco Irrigation District at their
meeting on Tuesday: Resolution:
Be it resolved: That House Bill
No. 178 is to the disadvantage -of al
irrigation development In the state,
and should be defeated, that its pas
sage would in our Judgment be the
greatest blow possible to irrigation
development, and that Shis or any
like or similar measure that would
in effect remove from the control of
the present efficient direction of the
Slate Irrigation Securities Commis
sion, more especially State Engineer
Percy Cupper, the certification of ir
rigation district bonds, would be a
most fatal blow.
Our experience In the affairs of
EXCHANGE YOUR
LIBERTY BONDS
The bonds of the Fourth Liberty
Loan are now ready to be exchanged
for permanent coupon bonds. Those
holding bonds should make ex
change as soon as posible. Any
bank is mpowered to attend to the
transaction. v

OREGON
TIME GIVEN
FOR PAYING FEES
Secretary Meredith has approved
a recommendation made by the chief
of the Forest Service, U. 8. Depart
ment of Agriculture, that the stock
men using the National Forest range
be given the option of paying the us
ual fees at the usual time, or slight
ly higher fees not later than August
1. Under this arrangement, the
maximum Increase payable by per
mittees whose grazing seasons begin
III February and who take advantago
of the full time permitted will not
exceed 6 per cent, or at the rate of 1
per ceut for each month of postpone
ment. The livestock industry Is facing
unusual difficulties and the new ar
rangement merely represents an ad
justment under which the stockmen
who are unable to pay their fees at
the regular time dan obtain a post
ponement in consideration of a reas--rnable
Increase in fees. .
PASSED THAT
BE
the Ochoco Project causes us to re
solve that we believe the best inter
ests of new districts can be served
by the present arrangement.
Be it further resolved: That we
do not favor the abolition of an el
ective office in favor of an appoint
ive office or offices that would result
In the proposed arrangement of the
House Bill No. 17S, as being not til
keeping with the true spirit of the
American people, and more especial
ly, the State of Oregon.
At the Tuesday noon luncheon
the Prineville Commercial Club pas
sed a resolution concerning the state
Irrigation commission bill which
reads as follows:
We, the members of the Prineville
Commercial Club, hereby resolve:
That house bill No. 178 is not tor
the best interests of irrigation In
Oregon, and more especially In
Crook county, as the present irriga
tion securities commission, especial
ly Mr. Percy A. Cupper, has func
tioned perfectly in all its duties,
thereby creating stability in irriga
tion security markets, which stabili
ty will be endangered by any tam
pering with the present law.
Be it further resolved:
That the irrigation committee of the
P. C. C. be and they are hereby au
thorised to send copies of this reso
lution to our representatives in the
legislature and to Mr. Cupper, also
asking our representatives to work
against all measures that may hin
der the successful working of the
present law.

sorted vegetable seeds. Each pack

S. JUSTIN SPARKS
E
Those who attended the lecture of
Dr. Samuel Jmrtin Sparks, fourth
number on the Meuely Lyceum
Course expecting the evening to
prove dry and uninteresting, as lec
tures so often are, were very sadly
disappointed.
As a talker, Dr. Sparks cannot ba
beaten, and In his lecture) "The Life
and Social Customs of the Ken
tucky Mountaineer," he had the au
dience laughing one minute at some
funny Joke in connection with lite
in that section, and feeling gad tho
next, in sympathy with the pathos
of some problem confronting the
mountaineer.
Dr. Sparks Is fat and Jolly, and
became friends with his audience as
soon as he had introduced himself,
and there was not an uninteresting
moment in his whole talk.
COUNTY AGENT IS
EXPECTED FEB. 5
Mr. Tucker, who has been semi
officially hired by the county as ag
ricultural agent, will be in Prlnevllle
about the 5th of this month to meet
county officials and confer with them
in regard to his qualifications.
Mr. Tucker was hired on the re
commendation of F. L. Ballard, Fed
eral County Agent Supervisor for
Eastern Oregon, In a telegram to
Judge N. G. Wallace, and nothing is
known about him other than that his
name is Tucker, and that he has had
i considerable experience It county
agent work In Idaho, where condi
tions generally resemble crook
county in regard to type of land and
Irrigation.
SHERIFF TO SEI,Ij
HITOXTI'9 OUTFIT
We notice that a sale by the sher
iff of the Bitonti grading outfit will
take place on Tuesday, February 8,
at the Si Hodges barns. This out
fit consists of all manner of tools
and implements, such as are used In
road improvement, including wag
ons, harness, collars, etc.
NO SHADOW FOR
The weather was cloudy all day
on Wednesday, February 2nd, for
which all should be duly thankful
This augurs well for an early run of
good weather. Joe Howard, of
the Howard Drug Co., wanted to
make sure that the ground hog did
not forget the date, so he placed
about two pounds of said "anemulo"
in an especially arranged box in tho
show window, and gave the public
an opportunity to view, at close
range, what is, in some sections of
the county, a very rare article. It
surely was SOME HOG.
WATER DEEP IX WELL
A well was drilled on the Sam Ru
herg ranch two miles north of . this
city recently, and water struck at a
depth of about 300 feet. The water
raised to a depth of 230 feet in the
well, Indicating a strong flow.
The drilling was done by E. Wag
NO. 80.
Announcement Is being made this
week that from this date forward
the Prineville creamery will pay a
high a price for butterfat as any
cream station in Central Oregon.
At present the price being paid la
exactly the same as paid in Port
land, and offers the farmer as good
an opportunity to market his pro
duct as can be offered at any point.
The new arrangement is the re
sult of effort on the part of Prine
ville business men who have .been
active in getting the creamery mat
ter adjusted. , ' ,
Tbey have succeeded in interest
ing Swift & Company in the local
branch, and thy are announcing;
this week that they are succeeding
Turner ft Pease in the creamery bus
iness in this city.
The Swift people are perhaps the
largest operators of creameries la
the West and they will be amply
able to assist in making the local
creamery ope of the largest In Inter
ior Oregon.
Much credit tor the solution of the
problem is due to H. R. Lakin, W.
F. King, J. E. Stewart,, Arthur Mi
chel and J. E. Adamson.
Mr. Adamson will remain in charge
of the Prineville creamery tor. the
present at least. . ,
A: A. Bisque was id the city Mon
day arranging for the change in the
local establishment.
