The Roosevelt Bird Bill went down
to defeat. much TO the surprise OF
those who desired II defeated most.
II was one OF the best and most eff
fectivc fights ever put up and tho
citizens OF Harney county can thank
William Hanley, first, for the defeat
OF this measure. Mr.. Hanley was
helped. OF course, but Il was his per-
sistencc and his money that went in
TO the advertisements and the picture
show slides, the newspaper articles,
interviews and communications that
did the work. Through his efforts
Harney county will not be handi-
capped in its development from that
source. at least.
Had circumstances been different
and an organized effort been made
by the people OF Burns and Harney
county. the result would have likely
been more decisive. but after DR.
Hibbard and Charles w. Ellis had
given their word there would be no
organized effort II was n tremendous
undertaking TO defeat the measure.
However. babies have triumphed
over pellicans and Harney Valley
will proceed with its irrigation pro-
jccts unhampered.
IL would be imrossioie 10 enumer-
ate those who were particularly In
strumcninl in the defeat OF this bill
therefore no attempt will be made
TO make further personal mention.
Mr.. Haniey doesn't want ail the cred
u and we are sure this will not meet
with his approval when we stop By
giving him personal mention In pre-
ference TO all others. but we feel he
deserves Il.
In looking over the vote for this
measure M II In tabulated in the
Portland Journal. We find but few
counties gave the bill a majority. but
there are two Central Oregon coun-
ties we are ashamed OF. Both De-
schutes and Crook counties gave the
bill a majority. yet the citizens OF
these two counties think. or at least
claim. TO stand for the development
OF the Central Oregon country. The
vote would Indicate that the people
were more or less indifferent and
that the game hogs who come here
every fall 90 shoot we're busy.

BURNS ELECTS LADY
MAYOR LAST TUESDAY
Mrs. CT ace B. hampshire is
Honored by Her Towns
pevple; Qualified.

The city election was held On
Tuesday. The city ticket was separ-
ate from the general election ballot
and the voting place at n different
place therefore not all those who
might have voted availod themselves
as they overlooked the "sideshow"
TO the main event. However. those
who have the interests OF the city at
heart did no to the polls and cast
their ballots.
There was not n full ticket put
out. there being four councilmen TO
elect and but two names appeared
on the ballot. those OF Joe Krumholz
and M. II. Brenton. In addition TO
these gentlemen Ben Brown and Joe
Thompson were elected as council
men. X. l.. Haines had no opposi-
tion for marshal. nor did w. ". Mon
roe for recorder or Henry Dalton
for treasurer.
Tho mayor position was a free for
all and Mrs. Grace II. hampshire
won. Many names were written In
for this position but Mrs. Lamp
shire had q majority. This unex-
pectcd honor was quite astonishing q
to the lady who was elected and she
was more surprised. perhaps. than
any other individual when informed
OF the result.
Mrs. I-ampshire 10 q capable wo-
man and one who takes an interest
In public Affairs. She has been .
prominent member OF the Mothers
Club for years. took q very active
part IN war work and has always
given much time and consideration
TO the Red Cross. She takes n pride
In civic AFFAIRS and should give an
excellent administration. She is
ably supported by good counoilmen.

HIGH SCHOOL TEAM IN
CHAMPIONSHIP CLASS
Defeat Prairie City High in
Fast Game on Saturday;
Inviting Other Games.

interscholastic circles was pulled of
last Saturday when the II. G. II. 3.
football eleven rompcd home an
easy winner over the much touted
Prairie City II. g.
The visiting eleven was ovidentally
dismayed at the Transformation I'm
the boys whom they had no easily
defeated earlier In the season and
lost a lot OF their original dash when
tackle Chambers was ruled out OF
the game in tho first quarter for
unfair play.
Effective work by the ends and de-
fensive backs prevented tho fast
Prairie backficld from running wild
and except for an occasional spurt
they never could get going.
Tho local line outcharged tho op-
posing line and put up n stubborn
defense.
A pretty forward pass from We'll
come to Clark gave II. g. III. g. their
first score and an intercepted pass
and 80 yard run by the same player
brought tho score to i3--o Gowan
falling at the attempt at goal after
the second touchdown.
In the second half runs by Cowan.

ball to the s6 yard line. From there

cied the end and raced for . touch
down.
The final score Was registered
whom p. c. II. 8. forced to punt
from behind their own goal line fum-
bled allowing X. SWEET to fall on the
ball for a touchdown.
Prsirie's only score came In the
tumble they pushed the ball over
from the 10 yard line.
With either Logan or Clark on
the receiving end. The local eleven
pulled on a good many forward
passes. Most or the ground gaining
was done on OF tackle or shift plays
with Welcome filling the stellar role
tho all the boys displayed n snap
aud dash which was inspiring.
The game with Bend II. q. has
fallen through as the eleven from
the Deschutes pleads injuries 10 the
players crippled the aggregation.
Negotiations are under way for

suuar situation.

An Increase of n cent a pound in the
price of sugar announced yesterday by
one firm was the first important result
of the conference at Washington on the
general Cuban situation. Other sugar
concerns said that they had not raised
prices and at least one of them declared
that any increase at this time was not
justified. Regarding the plan for Issuing
bonds to aid Cuba there was Diff
ference of opinion In banking circles
hero yesterday. One banker declared
that in his opinion there would be no
such loan made and that the only thing
necessary to bring Cuba out OF It's
present situation was to restore con-
fidence. On the other hand. another
banker In close touch with the situation
on the island. said that he believed that
the loan would be made and would be
n success. He declared that interviews
were held all day yesterday with
various banking interests looking to the
advancement of this loan and that. In
his opinion negotiations would be con-
cluded in few days.

will require the employment of large
volume of credit Inventories cannot be
disposed OF abruptly. In many lines. ow-
ing to general indispositon 10 buy. their
liquidation must be effected very grad
ually. Meanwhile they must be financed
The long run effect OF the downward
price movement, however, will be TO
ease the credit situation. The freedom
from disturbance, with which the read
justment is effected, depends largely on
he willingness OF business to recognize
the changed conditions.
STERILIZATION on a new price basis
does not involve return 10 the pre-
war price level. For nearly two decades
prior TO the war prices had been rising
steadily. On economic grounds this rise
might reasonably have been expected to
continue had there been no war. More
over, the Improvement effected in our
credit and banking machinery since the
inauguration OF the Federal Reserve
system now enables given gold reserve
to finance n greater volume OF business
Mt higher prices than was practicab Bile
In prewar days. The country's present
gold reserve greatly exceeds the pre-
war reserves and this enlarged and con-
centrated gold reserve will have n sus-
taining influence on the new price level.
The actual level at which prices will be
stabilized can only be worked out grad
ually on the basis of actual transactions
over an extended period"

LOWER PRICES NOT A
MENACE, SAYS BANK
Declares Business Must Go
FORWARD With Revision.

That business must go forward on n
lower price level and that that advance
can be accomplished without serious gen.
eral results Is the opinion OF the National
Bank of Commerce In New York, ex-
pressed in its review of the credit situa-
ton, made public yesterday. There will
be some embarrassment In individual
cases, Il Is believed, but the assured CO.
operation Of the banks with business will
remove q greater element Of danger In
the situation.
The downward revision OF prices con-
tinues TO be the factor dominating the
general business outlook" the bnnk says.
The movement Is a natural and incvita-
BILE corrective of the unstable condition
created In the previous period OF rising
prices, reckless public buying and WIDE
spread speculation. Falling prices are
not recent development. Before the
close OF 1919 the prices OF n number OF
important commodities had begun 10 de-
cline. BY spring of 1920 definite
downward trend had been established.
Sncd then tho movement has been ac-
ceierated until, within recent weeks, II
has forced general recognition that the
period OF excessive buying at rising
prices las definitely ended. Business
must now 60 forward on lower price
level. This readjustmcnt cannot be CT
fected without embarrassment In indi-
vidual cases. 1t will be effected, how
ever, without serious general results by
reason Of the inherent strength of the
credit situation and the assured coopera-
tion of the banks with business.
