CHICKEN DINNER NEXT WEDNESDAY Ladles of Christian Church Adopt Novel Plan to Raise Money to Com plete Church Building Next Wednesday evening, Sep tember 20, between the hours of 6:00 and 8:00 o'clock, the ladies of the Christian church will serve a chicken dinner in the Abbletz building, four doors north from the postoflice. The chicken served won't be the ordinary boiled or stewed va riety; it will be young spring chicken, raised and fattened es pecially . for the occasion, and fried in butter (don't forget this) by chefs skilled in the art of chicken frying. Besides the nice juicy pieces of fried chicken, large fluffy slices of bread, dainty cakes, cookies and pies, the pro duct of the best housewives in Madras, will decorate the white linen covered tables, along with fresh butter and real cream from the country. From the sale of tickets which began yesterday it seems that the ladies will be very success ful in their undertaking, which is for the purpose of raising mon- y to complete the interior of the church. The tickets for the dinner are 35 cents and if you are overlooked by the sellers, don't feel slighted, come anyhow. ITALIAN SLASHED IN FIGHT AT OPAL Wonnilcd Mnn Taken to Portland Hos pital In SerlousXonditlon Would-be-Aluiderer In Jail Joe Rossa, an Italian laborer on the ballasting crew of the1 Oregon Trunk road at. Opal City, I was taken to the St. Vincent's hospital in Portland Sunday morning in a serious condition, he result of three knife wounds received in a fight early Sunday morning with another of his j countrymen named Jos. Nell. The latter is in the county jail at Prineville awaiting the outcome , of the man's injuries. Only meager details of what caused the men to engage in the dual could be obtained. Dr. Gale, the company's doctor, was summoned to Opal City Sunday morning to attend the wounded man, but owing to his weakened condition from loss of blood was unable to give an account of the battle. Two gaping wounds, one in the abdomen and another on the right side just above the liver are the most dangerous, the third stab being only a small flesh wound in the chest. Deputy Sheriff C. W. Williams stated Monday that the fight was probably the outcome of too much booze. The wounded man was one of a party of 40 Italians shipped out of Portland Saturday morning and when they arrived at Opal were well supplied with whisky which they brought with them. Jos. Nell, his assailant, was an old friend of Rossa, and when the two met they proceed ed to renew their former ac quaintance with the assistance of a bottle of whisky. At about 4 o'clock in the morning they en gaged in an altercation over some former trouble when Nell pulled a dager and laid his opponent low with severe wounds. About 8 o'clock Sunday morn ing Deputy Williams was in formed of the affray and imme diately arrested Nell and took him to the county jail at Prine ville. The prisoner made the statement that he and his friend had been drinking and that he remembered nothing of what happened. The weapon used could not be found on the prison er and a thorough search of the ground, by the deputy, where the men fought failed to disclose the weapon. Should the victim's wounds prove fatal Nell will be charged with murder. FIRST DAY SHOWS LARGE ATRENDANGE Madras School OPonod Last Monday With Largest Enrollment In Its History J. N. Williams, a prominent sheepman of the Prine.ville dis trict, shipped a trainload of sheep from Gateway last Saturday over the O.-W. R. & N. road. The train will go direct to Omaha, and if the market proves unfav orable there will continue to Chicago. The railroad has prom ised good feed and watering places and if the venture proves successful, several more train loads will be shipped.. Crook county farmers find the eastern markets more profitable than selling, to Portland firms. The ringing of the school bell last Monday morning was a sig nal for children of school age that another nine months of study had commenced. Sixty- two pupils with their last year's report cards presented themselves for assignment to the different grades. This is a slight increase oyer the enrollment at the open ing of school in 1910. The num ber is increasing daily and be fore the end of the school year it is expected that at least 150 pupils will have enrolled in the Madras school. Last year the enrollment reached a total of 126. From some source a report is being circulated that the ninth and tenth grades would not be taught in the Madras schooi this year. This report is contradicted by Principal Cook who says that the first day ninth grade pupils were registered and that it is expected very shortly to estab lish a tenth grade. A great deal of interest is be ing taken by parents whose chil dren are attending school, and with their co-operation the' Mad ras school will be foremost among schools of its class in the county. Following is the corps of teach ers employed: Mra. Leora My ers, grades 1 and 2; Miss Ethel Klann, grades 3 and 4; Miss Anna Warmoth, grades 5 and 6; Principal W. R. Cook, grades 7, 8 and 9. In case the tenth grade is established, Miss Warmoth will assist Principal Cook in the eighth and ninth grade work. F. M. Loveland has gone to San Diego, Cal., where he will make his future home. J. M. Mayes expects to leave in about two weeks for his old home at Knoxville, Tenn. On his trip east he will make stops at Grand Rapids, Mich., and Rochester, N. Y. At the two last named places he will visit with relatives of his wife who died a few weeks ago. SOMEBODY GAVE HIM THE WRONG PILL AGAIN. f 1 C) r W.G.T.U.

CROOK COUNTY EX HIBIT IS BEST EVLR Rain Will Help Late Veg etables and Potatoes ALFALFA SEVEN FEET LOKC rillman Rcuter Reports Excellent Suc cess in tils Hunt for Grain and Vegetable Exhibits "The best exhibit Crook coun ty ever had," is the way Tillman Reuter expressed himself last Monday evening on his return from a week's trip to the Ochoco valley and Prineville districts after exhibits for the Sixth Inter nation Dry-Farming Congress which will be held in Colorado Springs, October 16 to 20, 1911. "Seven foot alfalfa is one of the specimens secured on my last trip," 3aid Mr. Reuter, "and if I am not badly mistaken this will be one of the contenders for special mention at the conven tion. The alfalfa exhibit will be one of the finest to be found any where and wiil be a big boost for this section of the country. "Although coming late, the rain last week will do a lot of good, not only as a help to pota toes and other vegetables, but to the late fall grain, some of which is still standing in the Pilot Butte country. It was my intention to go to Bend last week and work in that district, but the heavy rains interfered with my plans and instead I made another trip to the Ochoco and Prineville ter ritory. "It is hard to determine at the present time just how much good has been done to the late vege tables and potatoes, but I am of the opinion it will add 20 per cent, to the quality and size." Being a delegate to the conven tion at Colorado. Springs, Mr. Reuter is working hard for the best exhibit possible from Crook county. He says the specimens thus far obtained have more than pleased him and he is satisfied Crook county will receive recog nition from her exhibit with the other districts where farming is carried on without irrigation. As stated in last week's paper persons who have grain or vege tables suitable for exhibit should leave them at this office or at the office of A. C. Sanford. Mr. Reuter is now in the Bend district, after specimens and on His return a list of the exhibits and contributors will be printed in this paper. Fourteen cars of cattle passed through Madras today over the Oregon Trunk for the Portland market. The cattle were loaded at Opal City. The new O.-W.
