W. F. King of Prinoville has
announced his candidacy for the
republican nomination for conn
ijr uuuaurer, a& tne primary
nominating election to be held
April 20. Mr. King is one of the
best known business men of the
county, and county funds wotijd
be safe in his hands if he shoul'd
bo nominated and elected to the
office of treasurer. A success
iui and conservative business
man, of unquestioned integrity
and standing in his home com
munity, his candidacy is receiv
nig the strong endorsement
throughout the county which it
rightly deserves.
A petition has been presented
to tho county court by the resi
dents of the territory north' of
Round Butte, asking for a road
to extend south along the east
ern base ot the biltte, to where
it intersects the county road at
Gus Zemke's place. This road
is a much needed one, and un
less the county court takes
very prompt action on the peti
tion, tho petitioners will take
the matter up themselves and
put the road through at their
own expense,
SOME MONSTER BEEVES
The line spring weather of the
past week has brought the local
baseball fans out of their win
ter quarters, and there is al
ready some discussion of plans
for tho organization of a good
team tins year, rniiovilie is
ooiiing up, :and it is understood
that Laidlaw is also beginning
to take notice, and with Bend
and Redmond also in the field
with good teams, it pught to be
possible to have a .series of iu-
teiestiuir names this season,
Viuirow Larsen, who is cham
pion twirler for the Madras ag
gregalion, it teaching at Hay
stack just now, but it is expect
ed that he will be through with
his school there in tiirie to take
hand with the Madras boys
beforethe season opens. Laid
law is said to have- a college
pitcher, nnd a good liuo-up,
but the outlook now is that the
present season will see some
good tennis in the iield in this
county and tho team that car
ries oil' the Crook county "pen
na'nt" will have to play ball.
