M. A. Iehman, candidate for
the republican nomination for
county superintendent o f
schools, was a vigitqr in Madras
ast Thursday and Friday.
Meeting the voters of this pre
cinct. He says that his candi
dacy is in the interest of no
faction or locality of the county
and that if he is nominated and
elected to the office, he expects
o use his best efforts to ad
vance the educational interests
of all sections of the county
alike, lie has the strong en
dorsement of his .friends
throughout the county for the
office he is seeking.
,aud Eastern Washington, for
the reason that the farmers of
those sections are onljr farming
half of their land each year
under the summer-fallow plan.
The method which is being
advocated is that of rotation of
crops, corn being the principal
crop advocated for the ''summer
fallow crop." It is claimed that
by this method of rotation in
-crops, not only is a crop insured
to the farmer each year on all
his land, but it prevents the
loss- of fertility by returning to
-the soil those properties of the
soil which would become ex
hausted by the continued
growing of wheat oay.
The most successful farmers
of this immediate section advo
cate summer-fallow, and their j
advice is generally accepted as
fiound. As compared with the
plan of cropping the same land
tq wheat every year, the advice j
unquestionably is sound, but
the experience of the older j
wheat section of the West
stable of the precinct. Mr.
Mayes has been constable of
the precinct for several years
Judge Brooks was justice of
the peace in this precinct for
two 3'ears, but was defeated two
years ago by John A. Isham,
who was succeeded by M. U.
Mason by appointment at the
time of Mr. Isham's death.
Neither Mr. Mayes nor Judge
Brooks has any opposition up
to this time.

Taxes will be delinquent the
first Monday in April, after
proves that soil loses its fertil- j which a penalty of l6 per cent
ity when continually planted to and 12 per cent interest will be
one kind of crop. For this rea
son alone the plan of a rotation
of crops is one which the far
mers of this section should be
in to carefully study.
When the Bend bank closed
its doors during the recent
financial panic, II. C. Ellis of
Bend was appointed receiver by
Judge Bradshaw of the circuit
court. Through his good man-

Brineyille, Ajar, fl. Every
body in Prineville knew there
was something doing, last iSiui
day. The first gun was fired in
the campaign for a dry county,
and no blank cartridges weie
used. Dr. II. B. Hudson, ol
New Pork, made two addresses
to union meetings. The first
wu8 to meu only at 2$0 in the
afternoon. The subject was
"B,ull Palves or Box Rabies"
and the lecture was as unmue
as the title. Freciuentlv the
audience was convulsed with
laughter, but every man wa,s all
the time conscious that the
most forceful logic was being
driven home,
In the evening the new Meth
dist church, the best and lar
gest auditorium in town, was
taxed (ar bej'ond its capacity,
with the crowds that came. Dr.
Hudson delivered another pow
erful address and then, in be
half of the local leaders stated
that it was planned to raise
$500 for campaign expenses in
Crook county. One hundred
dollars was at once provided by
those present, iu such a spirit
that it seemed an earnest of
success by the time the county
should be covered.
Dr. Hudson's will be in Mad
