NAIL ROUTE IS
TO BE ENLARGED
The Powell Dude mall route has
U)nn extended and Improved, In or-
dir to aorve more families In tho
diHtrlct, aa Well aa make bettor ser
vice for thoae whom It already
servos.
The new route, which Mar-tod yes
terday, carries moil to O. W. Wolls,
Myron Ilager, John llluton, Uov
MoftU. and Durham others, who huve
heretofore not received mall under L
the old plan, k also takea the mall
past the bouae ot Charles Parrlah
trod others, who before had to go a
mile and a half in order to get their
mail dally.
An effort was made last fall to get
Powell Butte served by a mall route
from Prlnevllle, tbe county seat, but
on account ot the sparsely settled
country between, the plan was not
carried out. Many Powell Butte
residents believe, however, that the
movement last fall may have callud
attention to tbe. inconvenience caus
ed many of the farmers, and that tho
Improved mall route la the result.
When tbe Benham Falls project
goes through, and water reaches the
land between Prlnevllle and Powell
Butte, making it poasible for many
homos In that section, Powell Butte
will without doubt, be connected
with the county scat by a direct mall
service.

If county agent has no information
he wire Wallace, Secretary of Agri
culture. Give some address near

P. Dadidson.".
In compliance with the telegram,
W. B. Tucker, county agent. Immed
iately wired Secretary Wallace tor
more definite Information, and he
was informed by wire that the fed-
eral agent at Argo, North Dakota
would have charge ot this work, and
that information would be immed
iately mailed by the latter to Mr.
Tucker.
If this federal aid can be secured
this spring ,tt will be ot great ad
vantage to farmers of Crook county.
S200 will go a long ways towards
buying Beed for sowing grain, and

shortage if it can be secured In time

The lunches are given to pupils at
as near actual cost as can be figured,

the privileges of the cafateria, and
teachers ot both schools are also
served.
The work, of preparing and serv
ing the school lunch is done by high
school girls, supervised by MUa Hall,
aud gives them practical experience
in this kind of domestic work.
School lunches are now a feature
of nearly every school of any size in
the country. Many pupils who live
at a distance from school, must nec
essarily bring lunches, often consist
ing almost entirely ot sweets, which
overload the stomach of a pupil and
make efficient, school work an im
possibility. When mothers realize
that their boys and girls may get a
well-balanced meal at school, thua
relieving them ot the worry and
bother ot nxing up a lunch, at a
price- which is very near cost, they
are glad to take advantage ot the
service, and vote to make it a per
manent feature of the achool life.
The credit for the success of the
local school cafateria goes to Miss
Hall. She has put much ot her
time Into the planning of the meals,
and the fame ot them has gone far
and wide.

derwood is the chief machine in use

ed to have these machines replaced
by the Underwood, giving that ma -
chine the preference to all others

Water has reached a depth of 104
feet at the deepest point In the Ocho
co Reservoir, and has backed up to
a distance ot about four mile. Tne
total ampunt of water In storage to
day is 34,000 acre feet, aa is shown
by the Indicator on the left hand
side of this page. This la but 13,
000 feet less than the total capacity
of the structure.
The Increase In the amount ot
water has averaged a little less than
1000 acre feet per day, during the
month, and a part of the time It pro
duced an average of 1,000 acre feet
per day and more. The wanner
weather during the last few days
seems to indicate that the capacity
of the reservoir, 47,000 acre feet,
will be reached by the first ot April
or shortly after, and waste 'water
will be going over the spillway, on
the south end of the structure.
Yesterday afternoon, white caps,
perhaps a foot and a half to two feet
In heighth, were rolling up on the)
east shore of the lake, caused by the
high wind blowing up the canyon.
Indications are that there will be
an abundant supply ot water, plenty
to meet all demands of the district
and more, and prospects were never
brighter for excellent crops on the
project. As soon aa there is a de
mand for water, It will be turned
Into the ditches,: probably about the
first of next month.
The engineers of the project are
greatly pleased with the manner la
which the dam stands the test ot
the rapid raise in the reservoir.
While of course, there to some seep
age of water through and around
the structure, there is much lean
than waa expected by the engineer.
In fact they state that only about
50 percent aa much water has been
lost as they estimated would sfpa
through the first time that the dam
waa filled. "
The directors of the North Unit
Irrigation Project, who live at Ma
dras, including Mr. Gard, Mr. Hen
derson and Mr. Anderson, were In
Prineville yesterday, looking over
the dam and noting the amount ot
water which la being stored tor Och
oco lands this year.
Every year applications presented
by the students for entrance into thia
department have been increasing.
Accomodations are not sufficient at
the present time to handle the de
mand. In another year or two it la
hoped the department will be en
larged t o care for the demands.
Each year the commercial and busi
ness world is Increasing its eall for
efficient typists and stenographers;
