Hi

Oh, what a froot at Powill
Uuttif. Only one nun Mneil the
jtition (or county ilivinion. The
anti-ilivision iHken were cheer
ed to the evho. That was a hard
jolt for Bend.
Jonathan Bourne Jr., wa elected
United States Senator for the long
term and F. V. Mulkey, United
State Senator for the short term
at Salem Tudav. The direct
rimary law is triumphant. The
will of the people is supreme.
As the location of the county
seat at Hend for five years is only
temporary, says tne Bulletin,
"after which time it will be perma
nently located by the people."
How innocent. What better
"cinch" does Bend want than five
years?
What's the matter with Red
mond as a location for a county
scat? It is a live, wide-awake lit
tle town and is just as eligible for
county seat honors as Bend.
Speak out, Redmond, you are en
tirely loo modest. Your blatant
neighbor may hog the priie.
The Bend Bulletin does not sty
anything about the $371,000 extra
money to be raised for state pur
poses this year. It knows Crook
county must pay its share of this
besides the regular state tax Why
not be honest witn your readers,
Bulletin, and explain this matter?
The Bend Bulletin, in speaking
of the advantages of county di
vision, says "all moneys expended
will go to legitimate uses in the
building of roads, bridges, etc."
Is that so. Where do the grafters
come in who are now working for
county division? Nothing for
county oflicials? They would drop
it like a hot potato if that were
true. Wonder if the west side peo
ple swallow such twaddle?
Forty per cent of the whole
amount raised in taxes last year
in Crook county were spent upon
the roads. Of this amount West
ern Crook received $3000 more
than Eastern Crook. Yet the
Bend Bulletin would have you be
lieve it got nothing. Get vour ear
close to the ground. Bulletin, and
you will hear the rumbling of pro
test from all parts of the county
against division.
The people of Western Crook
should read carefully the result of
the investigation into county af
fairs by one of their own neigh
bors. Mr. Street of Sisters, makes
a vigorous protest against county
division. The movement, in his
opinion, is one that has been
foiced upon the eople by design
ing persons, and his letter to his
neighbors voices his wrath and in
dignation at the duplicity practiced
by the Drake News Bureau. He
ues some pretty strong language,
but the occasion demnnds it.

The County Division Meeting
at Powell Buttet Prove
a Boomerang.
Oh, what a frost the county di
visionists got at l'owell Butte
Monday night! Uee, but it was
chilly for the sixteen spell-binders
that were to lambaste l'rineville
on any old thing that would go
down with the people of l'owell
Buttes. Very little went down,
however. The lies about roads,
double taxation, doublo assess
ments and no asxessments and
other kinds of rascality of which
the people here were accused fell
upon indifferent ears. The people
knew better. They considered the
arguments advanced by the di
visionists an insult to their intelli
gence. W. P Myers of the Laid
law Chronicle whs handing them
out right and left when the Prine
ville delegation walked into the
meeting. Mr. Myers evidently did
not know the late comers for he
kept right along making state
ments that were without the slight
esiJouudation; When it came to
Judge Bell's turn he loosened up
on Myers with facts and figures
that fairly took away his breath.
The lies about count)' roads were
rammed down Myers' throat so
hard that his eyes stuck out.
The facts and figures were taken
from the roadmnster's report and
could not be refuted. The lies
about Assessor Lnfollette were
shown to le equally false and ma
licious. The difference in value
between the Blue Mountains and
Deschutes timber was made so evi
dent that even the Drake cohorts
hung their heads with shame.
They felt like the proverbial "two
SHt." They were dumfounded
with the turn things had taken.
Instead of cheers and hand-clapping
which they had expected
they got contempt. There was no
enthusiasm until the Prineville
delegation unlimbered and then
there was plenty of it. The boast
ed anti-divicion meeting fell flat
and the Bend c peel its slunk out of
town. It is said that they got one
signer to their petition.
From Powell Buttes the Prine
ville delegation went to Sisters so
that the truth might be made
plain at the Sisters meeting called
for Tuesday evening. It was a
repetition of the Powell Buttes af
fair. The same old lies told in
the same old way were hurled back
with increased vigor. The "no
divieioCiJr entiirent at Sisters is
just as pronounced as at Powell
Buttes. Only one or two signers
were obtained. If Prineville had
taken up the cudgel sooner there
would have been nothing to this
county division question.
A Redmond "Kicker."
(From first page.)
influence of the newspaper at thut
place has been secured by sprink
ling a little salt on its tail.
Bend is to get the temporary
county seat for rive years, and no
court house is to be erected during
that time. The word "temporary"
is surplussage, and is put in to
sound nice, and not HumIi the game
too soon; it pleases the big timber
interests, as they will escape be
ing taxed to build a court house
either in Crook county or the new
county. Within the five years
there will be sufficient settlement
south and east to make us certain
of the permanent county seat.
It was found convenient to get
the help of the politicians north of
Crooked , river, and they are to
have a new county cut from the
northern part of Crook. The peo
ple of that region are too poor to
support a new county at this time,
but a few people around Madras
think it will help their town to
have a county seat it sounds nice
and the hungry want an office.
We desired their aid as trading
etock, and will help them only so
far as it will be upeful to us.
By the help of the Lumber
Trust, the D. I. & P. Co. and other
meuns, we have secured promises
from a majority of the members of
the legislature to support the
measure; especially has the dele
gation from Portland been projer
ly fixed. The matter has in real
ity been settled, hut it is advisable
that it be made to appear that the
great majority of the people are in
favor of the new county.
Let every citizen of Bend be a
committee to talk and work.
Come down heavy on the mean
ness of Prineville how that she is
building a court house by taxing
the timlier trust that she does
not spend money on our roads;
(we have no roads located, but
talk just the same.) Talk of the
unselfish public spirit of Mr. Drake
and the citizens of Bend that
they want no ollices, and are com
pelled to accept theburden of tem
porary county seat because it must
be located somewhere. To a resi
dent of Redmond, show him that
in five years the country around
that town will be so thickly settled
that it will he sure of the county
seat, and make a similar speel to
the eople of Laidlaw.
