i TIMRTd BE UP AU.D DOING. v If Crook county is to head off for the third time a division o this county, giving to Antelope the county seat of anew district to be known as Stockman conn ty,she must be up and duing before the other fellows get the beat of the nice. In another column will be found an article which show clearly the trend of opinion in Wasco count', The Hood river residents are anxious to secure a division of the county there giving the county seat to the western division if made. The Dalles naturally opposes 11113 such move as it realizes that in such a division it would bo losing one of the richest and most productive districts embrace. within its boundaries. On the other hand it is quite willing to "can" Antelope, and aid the latter in its efforts to gobble up a portion of Crook, another portiou of southeastern "Wasco, which is not worth much to the county proper and from which little revenue is derived and establish the count' seat at the Buckskin town. In all this Antelope acquiesces as is fitting her innate modesty, and she is preparing for an indulgence of reality in her long cherished thoughts. Petitions are already being circulated and meeting with a ready signature on the part of The Dalles residents. The Dalles in so doing is saving her own neck and making an effort at the same time to get rid of a cumbersome barnacle hanging into her stern beams. In fact The Dalles admits as much. This, ofcourse, isall very nice for Antelope and the countiy immediately surrounding the town. It has been planned nicely and would in all prob ability work out to peifection if Antelope in her gluttonous efforts did not wish to devour the northern quarter of Crook, one of the most fertile districts in this country. The residents in that region are unequivo cally opposs?d to such a move and a strenous effort should be made not only by the residents of the Agency Plains country but by the whole of the county to place an effective damper upon the designs of the Buck skin neighborhood. Crook county is not ready as yet to part with part of her parts. "When that time does arrive she will be the first to tell about the matter and will probably not loose any time in making herself heard. Further more she will do all the draw ing of lines necessary to dis figure her face and these are not likely to be as favorable to Antelope as they would be should the latter rush in for a skyrocket finish at the coming session of the State Legislature. Crook County Journal. THE NORTH END GEADE. Kelson Grewell, of Frog Springs, , wua in town last Satuaday, and while here made this office a pleasant visit. Concerning the road running past his place, Sage Brush 8prlugs and on to liyle'e Gap, Mr. Grewe'l said: "By reason of the grade not Lbing built north of my place I am com pelled to travel sixteen unnecessary miles every time I want a load of water, and it in not myself alone hut there is at least fit) families that are traveling from one to twenty miles further lhan they should both for wafer and to railroad. understand that Perry Monro, the supervisor of the Gross Keys district, says that he received orders in the early fall to open the road in hin district, but fcliortly after lie received an order from County Judge Bell countermanding the instruction to open road." S.iya Mr. Grewell: "There is a nigger in the fence somewhere, Our citizens etant ready to do their share of work and at-sist in putting this grade through at .once as It should be, The petition had beeur allowed; why has Perry Munro been ordered not to commence work on that gradejunti) he receives further orders? revltally interested and wohjd like lo kuowi 1905. 1005 has been well and extensively advertised as the Lewis and Clarke centennial year in consequence of the gre.tt fair al Portland. And through 8uch efforts many people will for the first tltuo vie.w thu great natural re sources and Industrial advantages of this country. Located as,wo are upon the main thoroughfaro leading Into Central Oregon, with Its vast, unde veloped territory, folding out to thu home-seoker nnd Investor oppor tunities unexcelled elfewlierc. What ie more natural than to exp.'d that many will see and realize tho abundant promises offered by Madras ns a future, commercial tenter of a vast country, whleh in tiie near future is destined to hecomo one of the wealthiest and best producing districts In Central Oregon. In order that our town should estab lish and inaiutuln the reputation and atteutlnn to which it is justly entitled from its natural advantages means moro thau the mere construction of buildings and o aupylng tl m f r tl 0 purpose of trade in Its various chau-i nels. It means tho ev'uldishment of society In all its necessary I ranches, nnd in lino with tho natural progress of the times. Second to our schools as a) business proposition, we come to the moral and religious sentiment of the community, which all mus-t ague upon as au essential elemeut auu necessary to the proper establishment and maintenance of gpod society in any community. I do not (with to be understood as saying or meaning that ! all must be cbnrch-geera or. Sunday school attendants. Among those who cannot be called supporteis of such institutions we find mmy active citi zens, good neighbors and truo friends. But we do feel justified in asserting tl at all are collectively interested in such matters. And that ail moral and religious institutions become business propositions in which all are either active or dormant partners and each share In the profits which accrue to .society. One of the great institutions iu this line is this Sunday school, which if given the patronage it merits brings together the younger members of the community in a social capacity, where each one feels an individual in terest in the matter, where they join in singing beautiful and ennobling songB, ana carefully pursue a well selected course of lessous from the uiuio iii anvil a r ny (HIV umtilivi wairM lessons are learned and Impressions formed which they take with them I into active manhood and womanhood. Arid thus society ever has and ever, will be a beneficiary from such Insti tutions. Bueh an institution wo have, at Madras, although tho past year It has not been running at full capacity. . During the voir just oloed thu Ma-1 dras Union Sunday school was held ' upon fifty Sundays, with average fit-1 tendance of 23 for each 8und.ty. We realize that we could and should havo d no better than this. And If any j chance to read this who feel that they havo not given this institution the support that it justly merits during the past year, I sincerely hope that thoy will make amends by giving the school tho encouragement, support, and attendance to which it is entitled during tho year tn05.

Everybody likes to wear good clothe; every man, every woman, every child. They like to feel that the garments they have on were made for them; it'i a satisfaction that' worth paying for, but Some tailors charge too much for it; perhaps they need the money; we don't know. But why not After you have selected the pattern for a suit of clothes, all you can get in it at any price is style and fit. V6u may say that in addition the garments should be Well made; but that's only a repe tition. If they fit and have style about them, thoy are well made, you may depend upon that; and if they are well made, they fit and have style; the terms are inseparable. We are in the tailoring business.
