Having another engagement the writer could not be present at the meeting but learned from some of those present that the meeting was very enthusiastic and it is the intention of the or ganization to include in its mem bership every farmer and rancher ' in the valley so far as possible 'as well as the large membership that is sure to join in the city, It is intended to make organization that will assist in protecting the game now here, as well as take the initiative in bringing in and propagating other game birds such as the Bob White Quail, China Pheas ants, English Partridge and the restocking of our streams with fish. This will require some interest ing work and no little expense.

Sherriff Richardson arrested Douglas Tapp last Monday m this city upon receiving a telephone message from Sheriff Balfour of Crook County that the man was wanted. He was charged with stealing a horse but is suspected of having murdered Frark Way, with whom he had been living on a homestead about 15 miles from Prineville.

The theatre was put out of business temporarily and the athletic performance scheduled for that evening had to be post poned. The alarm was turned in yes terday morning, a flue in the Presbyterian manse having caught and threatened the house. The fire boys responded imme diately but were not needed. The flue hnd a galvanized top ex tension to place it above the comb of the roof, This is some what smaller than the flue and soot had accumulated which caught It forced Binoke out through the fluo below the roof has not seen him and" Way's gun has been found in the cabin. Two deputy sherifTs arrived here from Prineville Thursday and took the prisoner back with them. At that time no further information had been obtained. The country in the vicinity of the homestead was being search ed by a large numbar of men in an effort to find the body of Way. Tapp is suspected of hav ing murdered him and left later on one of the saddle horses. Sheriff Richardson questioned Tapp yesterday morning before he was taken from the "jail, tell ing him he was strongly suspect ed and suggested he prepare a defense. The young man said Way was one of the bst friends he had ever had and in reply to Mr. Richardson's suggestion that he prepare a defense said "not for me." No doubt later development will either strengthen the case against him or establish his inno cence. Winona wagons aro the best.

The loosing side will pay for a "rabbit supper" at the Burns hotel on the follow ing evening. This will be fine sport besides ridding the country of several thousand (?) pests. There is already a lively interest in this proposed hunt and no doubt the meeting called for next Wednesday evening, Feb. 7, at The Times-Herald office, will find a large number of our local sports on hand to join the organization and participate in the competi tive shoot on the following Wed nesday. It is proposed to make the membership fee $1.00 and to charge dues to the amount of $4.00 per year to be paid semi annually. The money thus se cured will not be used for "riot ous living" but for the purpose of importing and pronairatintr new game birds and fish.

The exact date can not be an nounced until further word from Mr. Hanley. It will be an open meeting to all with no charge whatever, therefore should be largely attended. 'Whii Is Who" in Agriculture. Before the first March winds blow the greatest series of try outs ever held in the schools of Oregon will be under way. , The boys and the girls of the state are going to determine "Who is Who" in gardening, farming, carpentering, cooking sewing and in raising chickens, ducks and pigs. Enthusiasm for this statewide series of industrial contests is waxing warmer than it has ever been for contests along athletic lines. The plan is for every county superintendent to enlist the sup port of his teachers in explain ing the plan to the children and interesting them in the work, and to secure the cooperation of V. L. Snelling, who a few days since returned from a business trip to Portland, is of the opinion that the next meeting of the State Development League which is to be held in Lakeview, should not take place before August. There are numerous reasons therefore, notably among which is the fact that Portland business men will find it inconvenient to to attend if the time is fixed at an earlier date. Many events of importantance will take place during June and July, not the notngricultural? Common sense tells us he would not. His farm may be in some little cove in the bed of a forest canyon, fifteen or twenty miles from another set tler. His only neighbors are the rangers, who have been taught to suspect him as one who might steal some of their precious care fully preserved timber or as one who wishes to grab a quarter section of timber land on the false pretense that it is agricultural land. If the land is really agricultu ral, the ranger meditates that it would make a good ranger station and casts covetous eyes on it. UNPRECEDENTED SUIT SALE!!
