Hnrtrunft Indlcalo.
Ninety-five per cent of the house
wives In the outlying districts of the

which ended yesterday. Rev. H. C.
lllartranft, food administrator for

plied a report from the cards he has
received. There are now 1000
pledges on hand and more coming In.
Bend itself has fallen down In
comparison with the average main
tained In the country districts and
the incomplete returns show a much
lower percentage of signers.
Among the cards received, this
morning were six names of people
who refused to Join in the movement.
Tnere were also other cards stating
reasons, but no names were given.
Confusion in the country school
districts and delayed mails are ham
pering tho work of completing sta
tistics on the subject. Although some
cards have been received from every
district, most of those from Lower
Bridge, Gist, the High Desert and
other distant parts of the county are
still to come. Rev. Hartranft has
been materially assisted by County
School Duperintendent J. Alton
Thompson and the school children,
who have worked hard distributing

charge of the general canvassing.

Tourist Association Makes
Strong Appeal for Business
SEATTLE, Nov. B. Through the
efforts of the Pacific Northwest Tour
ist Association, made up of leading
public officials and prominent citi
zens of British Columbia, Oregon and
Washington, the Pacific Northwest is
being brought to the attention of the
tourists as one of the greatest sum
mer and winter playgrounds In
America. Under the direction of Ex
ecutive Secretary Herbert Cuthbert
an extensive advertising campaign is
now being carried on in the so-called
countries of Western America. This
campaign includes the liberal use of
advertising space In prominent news
papers and farm publications, the ex
tensive use of attractive circulars as
well as Inviting looking posters. The
Pacitle Northwest has at last gone
after this tourist business along sys
tematic and well organized lines and

Vacation In Grades May Ex
tend to Tiro Weeks, Although
High Hchool Mill Open.
On the report that there are now
15 caBes of scarlet fever among tho
children of Bend, an order was Issued
yesterday morning by the board of
school directors at a special meetin?
that the grade schools be closed for
a week's time to prevent the further
spread of the disease. The epidemic
stage has undoubtedly been reached,
was the report received by the board
and it was stated In addition tha.
children who bad been confined to
their homes because of the dlseass
had returned to school at such aa
early date as to render contagioa
probable.
Unless cases of fever are reported
at the high school that branch of
the city educational system will con
tinue in operation, and it no farther
developments in the epidemic among
the smaller children are noted, the
grades will be reopened next Monday.
It is feared, however, that the en
forced vacation may have to be con
tinued through another week.
The danger was first officially rec
ognized Saturday when a notice
signed by Chief of Police Nixon and
A. E. Edwards, chairman, of the
health committee of the city council,
-was Issued, giving warning that the
breaking of quarantine would be fol
lowed by prosecution in the court.
Some trouble in making people
realize the danger arising from the
epidemic is reported, in one Instance
children sent home from school Fri
day night appearing at Sunday
school yesterday morning. They
were sent home again and the house
placed under quarantine.
FOOTBALL RECORD
IN BEND ENVIABLE
Local Team Cleans Up Central Ore
gon In Three Straight Victories
Work of Brothers Noticed.
With the defeat of the PrlnevIUe
high school team Saturday afternoon
by a score of 13-7, the Bend high,
school eleven has emerged as un
questioned champion of Central Ore
gon, and without a single defeat.
Two games with Prineville, one with.
Klamath Falls, and Redmond with
out football representation, clean np
the central part of the state, although
the season is yet far from com
pletion. No small feature In the attainment
of the enviable record of Coach San
ders' athletes is found In the playing
of three brothers named Coyner, who
have filled positions on the first
lineup since the opening of the sea
son. Marlon holds down a halfback's
job, Craig works handily at left
tackle, and Leroy is found at cen
ter. The brothers are all players
above the average.
dicated by the large number of in
quiries that are already being re
ceived at headquarters from men and
women, who make their homes In the
colder climates of the west and who
each winter are looking for a milder
climate, where they can spend from
two weeks to three months enjoying
outdoor life in an atmosphere, brac
ing, invigorating, healthful, but with
no elements of discomfort to the
body. These good points In favor of
the climate of Washington, Oregon
and British Columbia are being em
ptfaBized in all the newspapers and
magazine .advertising. This tourist
business, once It Is thoroughly estab
lished, means hundreds of thousands
of dollars annually to the Pacific '
Northwest and will probably do more
to Increase the population of Oregon,
Washington and British Columbia
than any other one thing.
