ROUSH Wo Can SupyJ Qlvi Ui j t t The Coach Stallion "COACH" AND ii PRINCB,,, Roan Percheron Whenever a demand is made from any portion of Western Crook county for road improve ment or a new bridge, the county court puts up a poo mouth and pleads poverty, and yet the information has leaked out that there is $14,000 in the road fund, and that an effort is oeing made to nave tuis sum turned into the general fund in order that it may be used in building Prineville's new com house. The time has come when there suoum oe an end to tuis, ana the increase in the voting strength of Western Crook county places the power in our hands to put an end to it, pro vided the people of this section of the county will stand to gemer in tne iignt. An oppor tumty offers now to begin to apply the remedy, in the flee tion of a Western Crook county man for county com missioner. T h e republicans have nominated a strong man in the person of Mr. - R. H T t 1 -W m ,jayioy, oi ijaiuiaw. mice a large majority of the people m Western Crook, he is a "new comer" in the sense that he is free from the influence of .the countyseat "ring", and his interests all lie in Western Crook. He has the same inter est in opposing the present regime in the county as we have, and those who know him well vouch for his firmness and his loyalty. lie should be elected, and the only way to elect him is to give him the solid vote of Western Crook county, A common interest should unite all parties in this fight, in order that we may ."beat the demooratio candidate ,who was nominated by the "Prineville ring" for the sole purpose of continuing its pres ent plans. The friends of J. 33. Mc Dowell, socialist candidate for county commissioner, are urg ing his claims to tho support A. Bennett, of "Rabbitville" fame, couldn't keep out of the newspaper business if he want ed to, and his friends are glad t 1 - or it. ins latest venture is The Dalles Optimist, and in his larger field the former ed itor of the Irrigator will doubt less soon take high rank among the bright and enter taining newspaper writers of the state. W e wish the Opti mist success. si of In view of the unbroken lence of that official paper Crook county on the subject of the county court's action in calling for bids for the con struction of a new court house, the question might be raised whether the . Crook County Journal gets $300 per annum for publishing the report of the county court proceedings, or for suppressing it.

A constitutional amendment proposing women's enfranchisement, submitted to you in 1881, brought us an ofllrniatlvo volo of 11,223. Tula amendment -was again submitted to your suirrageB by legislative Initiative in 1000, bringing us a vote of 20,205. Altbouuh the population centers had more than doubled in sixteen years, the "No" vote was only Increased by J.20, while tho "Yes' vote was aug- uiented by 15.012. This, to us, is.c palpable augury of the triumph which we confidently look to you to conauin- mate for us on the 4th day of Juno by placing "X" between '302" and ''Yes" on your hullols, .Do litis and you will houor our flag of truce, the only power we cun oiler in our defense agulnt the hHllotted forces of the op position.
