BASKET PARTY ON FOR FEBRUARY 23 Dramatic Club to Entertain Next Week Dance Following Auction We have had the Leap Year dance, to give, the ladies an op portunity to show their choice among the gents; we have had the "Calico Ball" to see what disposition Fate would make the various spinster ladies and bachelors about the town. We have had various and sundry receptions and parties to jrive al of the fellows an opportunity test the culinary abilities of the housekeepers and prospective housekeepers. Now then the entertainment committee of the Dramatic Club has devised Basket Party for February 23 in order to learn just how the gentlemen, who have eaten so freely at all of the suppers which have been prepared, appreciate the delicacies they have so ap parently relished. Just an ordinary Basket Party to which the ladies will bring baskets, carefully covered over. Thev mierht have thintrs erood to it,. .. .-. i . r . . - .

The Madras Pioneer for one year for ONE DOLLAR! Can you beat it? This is the price we are going to make on all future subscriptions which are paid on the TWENTY-NINTH day of February. The only condition necessary for you to profit by this offer is that your subscription be paid up to the last day of Febru ary, at the old rate. 11 you are six months in arrears, or a year, or two years, you can pay up the back subscription at the old price of $1.50 a year, and then under this offer, pay for one, two, three or four years in advance, all at the rate of ONE DOLLAR a year. On the next TENTY-NINTH of February we will repeat this offer, if we still have charge of the paper, thus enabling our subscribers to get the Pioneer continuously for ONE DOLLAR a vear. For this reason we will not accept subscriptions for more than four years in advance. A large percentage of our subscribers are ranchers, and we would like for them to profit by the offer, and to save them the long trip into town that day, we will accept mail orders at this same rate, ONE DOLLAR a year, under the following conditions: The mail order must be received in this office on the TWENTY- NINTH day of February, or the envelope must show by the regular government postmark, that it was mailed on the TWENTY-NINTH day of this month. There is absolutely nothing in this offer but good faith toward our patrons. Under the offer you can pay for the paper until the TWENTY-NINTH of February, 1916, four years, for FOUR DOL LARS. If paid on the TWENTY-NINTH day of the month this is the price, but if paid on any other day the paper for the same four years will cost you SIX DOLLARS. Be sure to see that all sub scriptions in arrears are paid, and then get in on this proposition. Remember the offer applies for the ONE DAY ONLY. 800 RABBITS KILLED IN SATURDAY DRIVES Chase Will Be Resumed Saturday of This Week On Barney Cum mines' Place INSPECTING CROOKED RIVER BRIDGE SITE chutes river in the reasonable near future. Some consideration has been given the question of employing convict labor in the construction of the grades which will be necessary. A rabbit drive on the.place of Barney Cumming's place, east of Metolius Saturday, resulted in the destruction of about 800 of the crop destroyers, and was so sucessful that another drive wil be held at the same place on Sat urday of this week. Ranchers from the section of the country south and east of Madras, and business men from Madras arid Metolius to the num ber of about sixty, were present and helped to drive the rabbits into the corral near Mr. Cum ming's house. About 350 rabbits were caught in the first drive, wnicn was started over near Willow Creek. The party then spread out again and drove in another bunch of Jacks which brought the num ber of slain well over the 700 mark. In addition to those which were caught in the corral, many which manacred to break throueh the lines were shot by those who had guns along.
