ljHvinu aay tin f.'.ectioiis side
of the question whether the
Columbia outhern is to lie built
into Central Oregon this year,
much dejienls 111111 the extention
of that road. The prospects of the
. Deschutes Valley in particular
viewed from a railroad standpoint,
are bright indeed, and not alto
gether gloomy with that phase of
the matter left out.
The past year in that section
lias seen some remarkable strides
toward development, and its scoe
is such as will entertain no mater
ial backward movement even with
the railroad factor a remote pos
iibility of the future. K?wially
is this true of the irrigation pro
positions, one of which is alreadv
to turn the tide of colonization
movements onto its sejiresatid
tracts. Under the Columbia South
ern's ttinals, homes are waiting
for hundreds which will come
quicker with the aid of a railroad,
but just as surely without.
So far as the timtar of that
region is concerned, it is probably
the only industry in the Valley
which is wholly dependent upon
railroad facilities, and it alone will
command transportation in time.
Even now the several saw mills
along the banks of the Deschutes
show plainly that the seeds of thi?
great industry have sprouted, and
that its future development is not
a question of capital, but con
ditions. So it is that the" Deschutes val-
ley can oint with no little assur
ance to its future growth and pros
perous conditions even outside the
circle of railroad communication.
.Such industries as already on foot
will not permit of a period of in
activity even though a full appre-
iation of their worth cannot be
felt with transportatien facilities
j lacking. The past year ims-tishcr-ed
out trying tiniee and struggles
for recognition. The new year
secures to the district renewed
energy in its industrial branches,
a growing population, and a sea
son of unprecedented development.
There are not many sections in
Orpgon in a position to say as
much.

Lake comity, with all the vim ol
a vigorus age, is registering a kick.
She has reason to, for it is stated

v tl is gratfying indeed to witness
the alacrity and business methods
already displayed by the new may
or and counciimen in their admin
istration of city affairs. Mayor
Witrpeiler has taken hoid ot mat
ters in a manner that Wspeaks
severance for good government,
and improvements' in so far as the
city's finances allow. It is a note
worthy fact that he is looking
ahead and will let no opportunity
escape to lietter the city's ' indus
trial condition. At the council
meeting Tuesday night he said;
"Something must be done at once
to reduce the city's indebtedness.
The financial condition of any
town is the first matter looked in
to when money is seeking a place
of investment and we want' invit
ing prosiects here. . ''It was upon
this digest of the situation that
alderman Stewart's motion to levy
a 5 mill city tax was carried.

working together nicely. The long
neglected bridges are to receive
immediate attention, as are also
some of the sidewalks and
thoroughfares, and an electric
system of fire alarms is pending
the icliirn of tlie rire and water

' As Alderman Stewart said after
rejournment, the city is sadly in
need of various improvements and
they will come in time, but haste
must In' made slowly until the
htnlen of debt is lifted. And all
this will come about if business
men, employing business methods,
are brought to bear on the situa
tion. TJie Journal , advances the
opinion that the new niayur and
