The answer of the county court to tliH suit enjoining them from letting u contract for .1 new court house, when rend side by side with their iiotice for bids, is to sajr thr least strikingly inconsistent. The following excerpts from those two documents speak for themselves: Prom the Notice. HWs Wanted. Po lice 1 hereby giun that sealed bidS,.vlH be received ii to 10 o'clock h. m. of June !!, l!Kfi, by the county court of Crook- coun ty, Oregon, for tlio construct Ion n nl completion of a court bouse building at J'rlnovllle; Oregon, nccordlng to the jilans and sjiociticn. tions thereof made byt V. D. 1'ugb, 'architect,- Safem, Oregon. From the Answer. Thai the county court will not violate the constitutional in hibition in regard to the indebtedness of the county. That it is the intention of the court and that they will let the con tract and construct the foundation of said structure with the money now avail able and build the superstructure after the money is-on Hand properly applicable to this purpose; The notice calls for the construction and completion of a court house building at Prineville", but when the coun ty court is caught trying to sneak the court house con tract through, and is held up at the point of an injunction suit, the' brazenly allege that "things are not what they seem" that their intention is only to let a contract for the foundation at this time. They inight h'ave made that story stick, if they had not been caught '"with the goods." pubCIc wheat sales. . The farmers of tJmatilla county are planning 10 have public wheat sales throughout the county, alter tne manner adopted by the wool growers of the country. To this end, the farmers of the countr have pledged themselves to hold their wheat until these sales at the different wheat centers, at which sales bids will be re ceived ou the different crops and varieties of wheat. These sales will be competitive, jusi as the wool growers have sold their wool, and if they prove to "be a success, they will doubtless-become a permanent insti tution in that and other wheal sections. Arrangements for these pub lic sales are being made by an organization of farmers of that county, and this organization will also take up the matter of freight rates, grain sacks and all other subjects of interest f its members. Grain sacks in that county are now 10 1-2 ents and the price is still advancing. the dalles optimist. We are glnd, to place upon our exchange list The Optimist, published at The Dalles .by A. 33Smrtt the initial issue of which publication made its ap pearance last week. - Mr. I3en nett has already won consider able fame in the journalistic field in this state, his Rabbi t villo Items published in the Jrrigon Irrigator having gained for him the title of "Mark Twailt of fOregon(,, We pre. aict suppedor the pp.timiat, if its mmtffeojp flip, .character of its editor, and we think it does. Life always has a bright Hide for thoso who look for it, and there is no more profitable occupation than scattering sun shine, which is a part of the optimist's stock in trade. Lost fdr an argument in up holding the new court house deal which tlio bounty botirt was trying to put through, the Crook County Journal, official organ and chief prestidigitator of the county court at fsOO per year, flies into a rage and denies in toto our statement that the present time is the most inopportune that could have been selected for build ing tho court house, owing to the increased Cost of labor and building material on account of the rebuilding of San Francisco. The Journal char acterizes our statement as "a gross fabrication from begin ning to end", and in doing so the Journal merely empha Mzes its own asininity. The fact that building materials and skilled labor are in un usual demand, and that prices have gone up accordingly, is! a matter of common knowl edge, regarding which the Journal is respectfully directed 10 any daily paper or period ical of recent date. building, but the Journal does not snv What they are paid. Possibly It is only $5.07. As to the "tainted smell", tho Journal should not hold us responsible if all information froni or about Prineville ntid the now court house deal has a "tainted smell."
