No bad effects resulted to the
growing wheat in this section from
the severe cold weather last week.
The fanners say that fall-sown
wheat in growing nicely. When
the cold spell came the ground was
covered with snow to a depth of
from three to five inches, affording
amide protection from the frost.
This week the weather has been
uiiuftially fine, and "the snow has
been gradually melting nud sink
ing into the ground. The outlook
for a good big grain crop next
harvest is better now than it has
been at this season for several
years past, although the area of
fall sown grain is much smaller
than it wns Inst season. Madras

Not Dead; Only Married.
Last Sunday this quiet little
town was thrown into n high .state
of excitement over a report that
Ralph Spcucur, editor of the Cen
tral Orcgduinii, hnd suddenly and
mysteriously disappeared. Va
rious theories were advanced ns to
where he hnd gone nud why he
had so suddenly vanished. All his
usual haunts were visited, but no
one hnd seen him, nud his disrtp
ea ranee began to worry ns well ns
mystify every one. Toward even
ing Cojh; West came to town and
lie was soon informed of thu matter
and after listening to nil the rumors
and surmises .suddenly burst out
laughing nud said, "Spencer ain't
dead, he's just gone to lieud to get
married." We won't say anything
more now, but just wait till he gets
back!!- Central Oregoninu.

tin: Will yon kindly allow me a little
pare in your valuable Mrcr? I want to
oak Ihe I'rinevilte people, and more
especially the honorable county court,
what they lisve done for western Crook
county, ami what they have not done
for western Crook county since Judge
llell ha Iuul control of the county
court? We would like to ak the honor
able judge wliy he lias turucil down
every road petition that our ople have
Mrnt in from western Crook county since
he has had control of the county court'
And I would like to ask the jud(c wli)
lie made the cople of western Crook
comity m many nice promises when he
wu securing otes for the judgeship
and why he ha Men fit to turn a cold
shoulder to everything that western
Crook county has asketl for since he lias
lx.cn iu office? I well remember when
Judge Itell came over to Tutiulo seeking
votes for his honor'n election, how en
thftsiastie lie was for the good of the
poor (teople of Crook county ami how he
alfl he inteudeil to see that the people
had eood roads and uood liridec if he
waielected. Ihshouorsaid that there wan.,
f u.ooti of road fundi then in the county
as elected lie was
cl 1 will see that the iicoplc
isvcMeltFr
rutuN Iwdl nut lu-urd up the road
funds iu the cohiUv var.lt as the other
county courts have dune but I will have
it xjient on the roads where it 1c1oiik."
On the treiKth of Ins honor's nice
promises I went to some extwuie and
!eut a jjreal deal of time and got out a
petition atkwg the jndxe to grant us the
meoly wui of fr for thepflrpose of
reiMiring the roads from Tutiulo to
lieud. The petition was signed by So or
ino tax payers and representative inon
of thin part of the county. I sent this
petition to the honorable county court.
In alKiut hovel! or eieht months the hon
orable tmlee Kitt out tlic honorable road?
mau-r lo exaiHiui me iumaio-nemi
rood ami 1 heard that the road master
inlcmieii lo reiK-rt adversely to our
jietition. I then wrote to the road mas
ter ami aiked him to let me know on
what ground he intended to turn us
down. His answer was to the effect
that the Tuinulo and llend road wm
uood enough, but he sutufeste! that if
our people would give fioo that he
tuougiu iw coiiki gei ine couniy court
to give f Jo... I tli en wrote to Judge
Dcfi and ealletl hi attention to hi nice
tromie wheu he was out here scekimt
our voles for his election and he wrote
me that he would tee what could lie
done for u. I suppose the judge is
still busy seeing about it for I have
heard nothing further from our potition.
Hut from what I hear, his honor intends
lo chuck that wonderful 14,000 into
that new court homo foundation and
when his honor ccts done milkiuu the
people of western Crook county he will
put it all into that court house founda
tion. Then he will have a good lot of
rings mid staples fastened to the lloor of
the foundation and then chain the west
ern Crook county people to it when
thev visit the county seat, in order to
keep them from molesting his honor's
county imslucft wtitio lie is. holding
them up t'r taxes,
That foundation proposition reminds
me of the first court house that was
built iu taucaster, the county seat of
