Almost since the first year, it has heldt he supremacy of the newspaper field in this part of the state, and for the past score of years has fought the fight for the good of the commun ity and nation as we saw it, without mincing words and has championed many if not all of the big develop ments that have come to this little city and its surrounding country, in many instances being at least some thing of a factor in bringing about these better things. The Journal has made mistakes. More of them in the past five years, under the present management than in all its previous history, and of these we have only this to say: that ' the Journal has done more for the community, fought a harder and a better fight during this period than ever before. We have no apologies and no re grets. We have written a story, pass ed editorial Judgment in the task of getting the news to our readers while it was yet news, and twenty-four hours later hare seen an error, a mis taken Judgment, but in all cases we have done what we thought best with the information and light at hand. Every good newspaper Is so Identi fied with the life of its community that it puts its own welfare second to a large degree l.i the fight for the good of its home community. In so doing it aids its own growth Indiroct ly in a great measure. This has been done by the Journal in that It has mado Improvements ev en ahead of the actual demands to keep apace with the community and It has proved to be a wise policy, for in every Instance the improvements have soon been Justified by an inc sreased demand. Looking forward from thia point, the great things that are the heritage of this great country seem much nearer achievement than ever before. Some have already been realtied, some are now in process of realiza tion and yet other and very large de velopments are very near. The task of those most Interested in the3e things, thus the task of the Journal, Is Just well begun. We have no extravagant promises. We feel that our future may be meas ured in a degree by our past perfor mances, and will only say that tne coming years will find us as they have in the past, doing our very beat as we can see it. For the patronage and support we have received, and to our growing circle of friends, we say heartily, we thank you. THE BOND ISSUE By a vote of almost 16 to one in Friday's election, the people of Crook county showed their endorsement of the program outlined by he County Court and the State Highway Com mission for a system of highways tor this county. More than that, the overwhelming vote was one of confidence in the Commission ond the County Court, and also in Judge Walnce, who has by his untiring personal effort and enthusiastic labor in behalf of the county during his tenure of office, kept the campaign successfully mov ing to its Tery satisfactory present status. The voters are to be congratulat ed upon their excellent vote. Their confidence is not misplaced, and the money they have thus expended will return manyfold. THEY ARE OVERLOOKING A BET The proposed Oregon sky line high way along the summit of the Cascades can never receive the endorsement of all of the Central Oregon press for it does not connect with Bend at both ends. A serious oversight. World'' Greatest Cataract Niagara Kalis is nut the greufst rot a met in the world. The greater cataract is said to be on the Igiiazu river, which partly separates Br.ii and Argentina. The preelpiee ovei which the river plunges is J10 feet high, that of Niagara being 107 feet.

He who know? much, scarcely believes that what he is saying is unknown to others, and consequently speaks with more hesi tation. La Bruyere.
