A petition waa also presented
signed by 2C La Pino peoplo who ask
that the sevendaya-a-week mall road
and tho Central Oregon canal brldgo
between llcnd and La Pino bo kept
In passable condition.
Although n special order wna made
at tho last term or county court
transferring aoino 112,000 from tho
timber cruising fund to tho general
fund, tho county treasurer has taken
no action to mnko tho transfer. It
la understood that the use of thla
money In tho general fund will bo
enjoined, on the ground that It waa
raised on tho 1911 valuation and If
so transferred it would bo n. special
advantage to persona who had ac
quired property since tho 1911 levy
k niiiilft. It Is declared thnt it
should be repaid to the taxpayers,
from whom It waa collected, lnoa-
much aa tho purposo for which It waa
collected haa been apparently entirely
abandoned.

For tho Information of persona

In order to lenrn how tho buslnoss

Issue of bonds for tho construction of
a high school building, The HuIIotin
Interviewed n number who mnde tho
following statements:
II. W. Skuse "A building costing
from $15,000 to $20,000 is enough
for the present."
W. C. McCulston "The proposed
Indebtedness Is too much for the tax
payers nt present."
II. H. Ford "A fine school house
Ih a good advertisement for a town.
On that account I will vote for the
londs, although I dlsapprovo of tho
a'te."
Clnrcnco L. Mnnnhelmcr "The
proposed amount la too high for a
li'.lldlng ti- Meet the present needs
of the town."
A. L. .'rench "The amount Is too
largo and the roposcd alto is a bad
one. I would vote funds for the com
munity building proposed but only If
a more central location were chosen."
1, U. T.J senor "A $45,000 build
ing If more than the town needs at
the present time."
L. L. Ic "Hen I may need a
achool house, but the amount la
rather high nnd there are objections
to the proposed site."
Floyd Dement "I am opposed to
putting the school building on the
Wlestorla site."
It. M. Smith "The proposed slto
is too far out. It waa only a short
time ago that a fight waa made to
keep thla district out of the city lim
its." J. N. Hunter "Tho proposed elte
alopea to the center from all aldea,
and for that reason alone la unsuit
able for n school building. If the
site Itself were desirable. Its location
Is such aa to make It a poor choice."
D. E. Hunter "The members of
the achool board who made the trip
of Inspection toll mo that what they
saw has changed their Ideas of what
tho new building should be. The
modern Idea, as exemplified In Spo
kane In particular, la to erect a com
munity building having n gymnasium,
auditorium and baths, which can be
used not only for school purposes but
for various community Interests aa
well. Such building, thece members
tell mo, should be In a central loca
tion and can be put up tor less than
$45,000. The Wlestorla site is un
suitable for such a community build
ing, not being centrally located, and
1 am therefore opposed to It."

(Bdilorial Correspondence)
PRINEVILLE, May G. From tho
non-legal standpoint. Circuit Court
week, which commenced here yester
day, has Its Interests and pleasures.
Among the first rnny bo numbered
sundry bucking contests, official nnd
otherwise, and a couple of catch-as-catch-can
scraps.
Tho pleasures may bo minimized
-for even the most enthusiastic can
not maintain that It la specially ex
citing to hear Judge Bradahaw charge
a grand Jury.
One of the really Interesting sights
Is that of the grand Jury men whom
one encounters here and there about
the streets. They look worried. Sev
eral ball from llend. True, no Dend
men were drawn for the first Jury,
but all were obliged to remain here
over Tuesday. After questioning, It
becomes apparent what Is tho matter
with them; they are confronted with
the problem of the high cost of liv
ing. In abort, the question that la
marring their Prlnevlllo sojourn la
this: How can a grand Juror, who
gets two dollars a day and ten cents
a mile for coming here, make any
money when It costa two dollars a
day to cat and sleep (plus two more
to smoke and drink) and twenty
cents a mile for transportation?
When lost seen none of the five
Dend men hod been able to solve the
riddle. The puzzled ones are A. S.
Collins. Anton Aune, P. II. Dcncer,
E. T. Luthy and J. U. Heybuni. .

that jny present course may et me on speak-

This, then, is to say that on and after June first
this store will be run on A STRICTLY CASH BASIS.
All accounts 90 days past due that are not paid by
May 10th will bo pluced In hnnds of nn attorney for
collection.
I hnve lost none of my love for the American peo
ple; this is purely a business proposition, absolutely
impersonal, actuated by a desire to give my patrons
lower prices and to give myself more money In tho
drawer and less on the books.
"Pay aa you go," 1 believe, is the better way, the
safer way, especially in these Btrenuous times when wo
treat tho dollar lightly and thrift has become u for
gotten virtue.
Everybody knows that a certain percentage of
charge accounts eventually go to profit and loss. Who
payB tho margin of loss? Tho honest man, of course.
Most of my trade will rejoice in this chnngo and
be glad to avail themselves of the re-pricing from
TWO TO TEN PER CENT. REDUCTION practically
