It Is dlfllcult to understand tho action of the stnto highway commls slon In designating ns n secondary federal highway tho route from Prlnovlllo to Lnkcvlcw. It Is true that Crook county has the funds and has arranged with tho commission to build a road up Bear creek to a June tlon with tho Central Oregon line and equally true thnt a north and south highway should bo built In Lako county from the south county line to Fort Rock, but why tho road should then run north and cast to connect with that Bear Creek road and no plan bo made to connect Fort Rock and La Pine is not understand able. tears ago Sam Hill advocated a road from California to the Columbia river on the east stde of Lake county and then through Prlnevlllo north. Possibly the plan was then a good one If the only object of tho road was to provido an all-year route to and from California. With the de velopment of the state highway sys tem, however, and the building .of the paved Pacific highway such need as .there may have been for carrying out Mr. Hill's plan vanished. If the commission has acted to carry out that scheme, It Is forgetful of the work It has done itself. Lake county has always wanted a winter route out to the railroad. Some hove thought that east of Pine mountain In the Mllllcan valley a road could be built that would be comparatively free from snow and it is possible that the commission has had this idea In mind in making its designation. At the same time it has forgotten that The Dalles-California Is to be Improved to La Pine and beyond, that It will be kept open through the winter, that the logical route to Fort Rock is by way of La Pine and that the cost of keeping this last section free from snow would be only a fraction of the cost ot building a road from Fort Rock to the Central Oregon highway, Testimony concerning the road to the east is that while In that country there may be less snow there Is so much wind that bad drifts are un avoidable. There is that much to be said as to snow conditions there. Further, If It should come to a choice between the two routes from Fort Rock north, It must bo remembered that tho east route runs for nearly 70 miles through an uninhabited desert, with no water, no scenery, no attraction's for the tourist and' makes a longer course necossary to get to the railroad. The west road has wa ter, a telephone lino along its full length, passes some settlement and leads to the lakes and mountains ot the Cascades. Our Prlnevllle friends will say that we are trying to keep a road from them. Prlnevllle is well supplied with state highways. The objection here is not so much to giving the town another as to action on the part of tho commission .which Ignores a logical road and, puts an unnecessary and illogical one in line for aid ahead of the road desired most by the peo pie to whom It wl)l, give dally service and most neede'd forthe development of tourist travel. . WHAT THE SCHOOL BILL DID Ono ot tho arguments against the school bill was that It would havo tendency to koop away from Oregon peoplo who wanted to educate thol children in prlvato or parochial schools. Already the passago ot the bill has had that result, according to tho La Grnndo Observer, which says "Picking flaws with tho majority is never very pleasant, but try as best one can It Is hard to agrco with the majority who voted In Oregon for tho compulsory school bill at tho Into olectton. "Tho first direct business result wo have heard of comes from tho Ochoco Irrigation project in Crook county, Everyone knows there is a lino pro Ject, Irrigation ditches In, bonds Is sued and Interest piling up, and the thing that is lacking ta mako it a success is people. "Driven almost to exasperation on account of lack of settlers, leading men In tho Ochoco project, together with Prlnevllle business men and railroad ofllclals ot tho O.-W. Jointly formed a plan to send a colonizer Into Wisconsin and securo settlers for this fertile area. This was pro gressing well and a number ot Lu thcran families had formulated a col ony to come to Oregon when the news of the election reached Wiscon sin. 'Bing! It wns all of! No Lu theran families would think of enter ing a state to mako their homes where the compulsory school bill pre vailed. as a resuu I'rinevuie uas lost a lot of prospective citizens, the Ochoco project will have to look elsewhere for people, and Oregon as n state suffers a setback In business and population which cannot be denied." THE AGRICULTURIST'S BUDGET The recent agitation over the pro posal to abandon the county agricul turist work In Deschutes county has ended with the decision of the county court to Include an Item for this ex pense In the budget for the coming year. It was Interesting to observe that the only objection which was voiced at the budget meeting yester day was not to the work itself but to certain acts of omission and com mission on the part of Individuals who have served as agent In tho past. The same speaker admitted the value ot the work when he said that hardly had an agent come to know local con ditions when ho was attracted by higher pay to some other work. In general we believe that the inci dent has .been a good thing.' It has served to bring out such criticism as there was for the work of the agri culturist, which should aid In avoid ing future, controversy. It has shown that the big body of responsible pub lic sentiment Is In favor of the work, and It has made clear to the farmer that other classes ot tho county are Interested with him In helping to solve his problems. We believe, as we have said be foro, that tho agent should not repre sent anyono In buying or selling. Ho can and should advlso, give dealer's names, mako seed tests, artfj, give, gen eral counsel) but thoro idiould bo nothing done In competition 'with county business establishments, It CHRISTMAS SEALS The purpose of the Christmas seal Is to raise funds to aid In tho light against tuberculosis. That fact Is generally known. What Is not so well known Is the success that has attended the work since It was begun by the National Tuberculosis associa tion in 1905. A bulletin from the state association now sets the facts forth in a graphic manner. In 1905 the tuberculosis death rate was 202.6 per 100,000 population. Last year It was 114. 2, a decrease of 43.6 per cent. At the 1905 rate there would have been 210,000 deaths from this cause last year. There were 122,000, a saving of .88,000 lives. Taking tho cost of a life lost through tuberculosis at $8,000, Professor Irving Fisher's fig ure, the dividend on the health work done by the Christmas seals Is J704,- 000.000. In 1915 there was an association In Oregon, but little else. Since that time there have developed 18 -county health associations, 13 county nurses, 38,017 modern health crusaders, and ono model open air school. Thirteen clinics were held in 1921-22, and tho number of hospital beds for tuber culosis patients has Increased from 100 to 271. This Is a remarkable record, but "the work has only begun. The flglft Is on to eliminate tuberculosis com pletely, thereby adding two and a half years to tho expectancy ot human life. The little seal Is tho means ot gaining this end. It is anoui tne biggest Christmas pur chase anyone can make. .Lntor it jmr.y sottlo doijr.n to .spurn thing With' it roal 'commercial1 vnluo and importance, lu tho meantime It Is Interesting to ruiuqmbor that lu corthln aoj-tsnfinoriency It Is ready to sorvo: as a tuoans ;'ot communica tion that cannot bo affected, unless for very Bhort periods, by local and occasional wontlior conditions. Aotrirm has hart a staggering blow, but she will come back. That's tho Amorlcan habit. Fifteen Years Ago (From tho Columns ot The Bulletin ot December 13, 1907) Word wns received In Bend Tups day that lists for patent numbers 3 and 4, submitted by tho Deschutes Irrigation and Power Co. through the state ot Orcgou, has been approved by the federal ofllclals, ami that pat ents to this land would bo Issued by tho stato at once, Tho lists approved comprise approximately 3S.404 acres and tho laud lies In tho Pilot Butto segregation.

SNOW MASKING BOOZE PLANTS, SAYS SHERIFF Somewhere In the mountains of Deschutes county, cunningly hidden against detection, moonshiners, are starting big distilling plants In op eration for an all winter's run nf Illicit liquor. Learning from Had ex perience In tho past they uru taking extra precautions this year, reducing to n minimum tho clues which are ordinarily followed by ulllcora In ap prehending them. Information on which this state ment Is tmsod has boon secured by Sheriff S. K. Rubarts, but It does not go far enough to give anything but a hazy Idea ot tho location of Ilia moonshine.

OH i IH IX 0 RADIO CHANGES CONDITIONS In the past few weeks many have recalled the storm of a year ago that tied up the railroads, stopped mall service for nearly two weeks, and put telephone and telegraph wires out of commission. In the first week after the storm, it will be remembered, the only news from the outside where the storm had been most severe was a few items received by The Bulletin by way of Klamath Falls, Lakevlew, Silver Lalco and Mllllcan, and the bit taken out of tho air by the wireless REGISTRATION GAIN FORESEEN School registration In Bend for tho next semester will show an Increaso of at least 40, In tho opinion of City Superintendent G.
