Wlth congratula-
At the time the Central Ore-
gonian last week secured the re
port of the Metolius wool sale,
17 cents was the highest price
paid for any clip. Later in the
sal fir the" "pr i ceoarcd-to18 centrj
per pound for a clip brought to
the Metoius warehouse from the
Paulina country. This price
exceeded that naid at either
the Madras or Shaniko sales,
rtnd tends to place Metolius on
the map as the leading wool mar
ket point of Central Oregon.
In this connection it is exceed-
ngly amusing to note the Madras
Pioneer's account of the wool
sale at the burg in the hollow.
That paper told of the arrival
of a dozen wool buyers and said
that "after the local sale has
been completed, the Oregon
Trunk will take the buyers over
Mptolius where there is a
small quantity 'of wool to be
sold." Wonder if the Pioneer
this week will tell of the disgust
of the wool buyers over the
small amount of wool offered at
the Madras sale? At Madras
111,000 pounds of wool were sold,
while the Metolius sale was
nearly double that amount, or
200,000 pounds. And the Pio
neer said that the wool buyers
would go over to Metolius,
"where there is a small quantity
of wooj to be sold." Fine!
According to a Madras dispatch
in the Portland Evening Tele
gram an amount of wool exceed
ing that sold was held at Madras.
This included the.clips of Jim
Rice and Morrow & Keenan,
which, as a matter of fact, were
sold several months ago at pri
vate sale.
The secretary of the Oregon
Wool Grower's Association in
the original schedule of wool sale
dates, realized that little wool
would be offered for sale at the
town in the hollow, and named
Metoius as the sale point for
Contra Oregon. Madras made
such a hue and cry that it also
was given a date and by cutting
warehouse charges secured wool
that otherwise would have been
brought to Metolius.
Wonder what sort of a hot-air
mixture our neighbor town will
fix un next time to get a wool
sale date? Metolius Oregonian

SCHOOL ELECTION
ORDERED BY BOARD
Union High School Proposition to be
Voted on August 3rd by Ten
Districts
At the meeting of the school
boundary board held in Prine
ville Wednesday, the office of
the county superintendent was
instructed to serve notice on ten
districts that an election will be
held on August 3rd to deter
mine the wishes o the districts
as to whether or not a union high
school shall be organized and
maintained in Madras by the
districts voting on the proposi
tion. The districts which will
receive a copy of the notice from
the superintendent's office, and
those which wiU vote, on the
question are the Madras, Mud
Sprins, Gateway, Lyle Gap,
Round Butte, Vibbert, Mountain
View, Vanora, Fields and Mc-
Elroys districts.
This is the first official action
hat has been taken by the coun
ty authorities in the matter of
securing the high school for Ma
dras. Inasmuch as all the dis-
ricts which will vote on the
proposition have signified their
desire to join in the union high
school movement, the election
on August 3rd will be no more
than a ratification of their wish
es in the matter, and the action
of the boundary board is practi
cal assurance that the school will
be in operation this fall,
HOYDAR LEAVES TO
TAKE ALBANY AGENCY
Popular O.T.Man Gets Promotion
Frank Shugert Transferred at
Same Time
H. E. Jacobs, of the Agency
lnins presented The Pioneer
with a very fine basket of cher
ries Wednesday afternoon, as a
sample of tho fruit ho can grow
on his dry farm, and we gladly
bear evidenco that these cherries
were as fine as any we have put
a tooth into.
J. J. Hoydar, who has been in
charge of the Oregon Trunk
affairs at Madras since last
August, left Sunday morning for
Albany, where he will be agent
for the new Oregon Electric line,
another Hill enterprise, which
commenced operating into Al
bany this week, the first regu'ar
schedule going into effect July
4th. A. T. Meyers, formerly
agent at Maupin, has been trans
ferred to Madras to succeed Hoy
dar, he arriving Saturday even
ing. Frank Shugert, who has
had charge of the baggage and
express room at the local depot
was also transferred to Albany,
and will be with Hoydar at the
new station. George Newell has
succeeded Shugert.
During the ten months of work
in Madras, Hoydar has made
friends with all with whom he
has come in contact. His trans
fer however is a deserved pro
motion, and although regretting
his departure, The Pioneer, with
his other friends, congratulate
him upon having been chosen as
first agent at the new station.
Hefshner-Jefferson Wedding
Mr. and Mrs. A. F; Hershner
announce the marriage of their
daughter Joyce Lillian to Mr.
Martin Tellefson, Wednesday,
the nineteenth of June, nineteen
hundred and twelve, Portland,
Oregon. "
The above engraved annouce
ments were received by iriend3
of the couple who are well known
arid popular young people living
northeast of Madras.
From a preliminary ..review of
the numerous initiative measures
for which petition circulators
have been appealing: to yoters
of sicmat.res. it is safe io pe-
dict that the number of bills al
ready filed with the Secretary of
State, together with those for
which the required number of
signatures have been obtained,
will exceed the previous high
record of 32 which were submit
ted in the general election two
years ago. Including those that
have bene filed and those for
which sufficient signatures have
been secured, 33 initiative con
stitutional amendments or meas
ures of legislation are in sigth
for the ballot in the election
next November. This aggrega
tion does not include Senator
Malarkey's public service corn
mission bill, which will be sut-
mitted under the referendum, or
the two University of Oregon
appropriation bills, against
which the referendum also has
been invoked. These bills, how
ever, are involved in litigation
that is now pending in tne State
Supreme Court.
Under the law, the time for fil
ing initiative measures in the
office of the Secretary of State
for the November election will
expire at 6 oclock Thursday
tatemodn;: Julyi;.
Some of :. thai mare.:;
measures included in the list fol

celebration in Madra i ri' ev' "'(?

the fever, too, for two of the
Madras matrons have intimated
that they expect to scream if
Mardas should beat Prineville,
one of them having already
offered to hazard a little wager
on the local club.
Preparations for the other
events are under headway, and
all will be, in readiness at the
proper time. Information re
ceived from surrounding coun
try is to the effect that a large
attendance is sure to be on hand.
And why not for there will be
fun and, amusement for- all?

Fighting the fire hose will
possibly create as much amuse
ment as any single event With
only a small board to use by
way of a shield, the contestants
will each try to walk ud to the
nozzle of the hose, water turned
on at full pressure, the party
coming the nearest the nozzle
winning. Many will be surprised
to know just how hard it is get

If you think you can go much
closer than that, try it If vou
go the closest you will receive
$5 for your i rouble. Other amus

the sack race, the three-legged
