THE PRICE OF VICTORY
. By FRANKLIN K. LANE, Secretary of the Interior
What Is Victory worth? What would we have given this time last year
to have been assured of Victory? What pledge would we have not made? And
now that our men "have won will we hesitate to pay tha bill? They paid, those
boys of the'Argonne, In blood and life. They will pay, many of them, through
all their long lives In suffering and in weakness. Every soldier that we see is
a challenge to our hearts and to our pockets. They will not be a reproof. Their
yes will never say that we are, what they never were, quitters. We, too; can
carry on. Generous they were and generous we will be.- Our pride we will
prove by thanksgiving, not in words but In dollars loaned to Uncle Sam to pay
for bringing the boys back, for the guns that were never used, for the ships
that were not sunk, for the care ot the men who did not die, tor the rebuilding
t the men who almost "went West." - ..
All the wise men said it will be the fall of '19 before the Kaiser will be
driven into his own country. Our money would have gone throughout the year
to make that hope good. But the Hua was driven back. He lost heart and
cried "Kamerad!" a year before the promised time. And the Kaiser fled, a
fugitive from a beaten nation and se short a time since he had been In part
nership with "Gott"! How many Victory Bonds was It worth to hear that
news? Vlotory is not ours until we have earned it, paid for it and got the
receipt in the peace treaty, with a guarantee that we shall hold what we have
won the right to live In peace. Your Liberty Bond paid tor the gun that
drove him into exile. And your Victory Bond will make sure that he will not
come back. -
The road across the mountain be
tween Prineville and Mitchell is now
passable for autos. The crew of men
who will make the survey for the
Wheeler county end of thls road
crossed the mountain in a truck on
Saturday, May 3. Two or three oth
er autos crossed within the last few
days. The road will now be dragged
and put in condition for travel.
Messrs. Donnelly and Harpham at
tended a very Interesting meeting of
the Badger Creek Cattle ft Horse As
sociation near Antone on May 3. They
also visited the Fossil, Condon and
Richmond sections while on their trip
and state that while the season along
the John Day river is somewhat in
advance of the Prineville section and
the prospects for a fine yield of wheat
in the Condon country is especially
bright, that no acreage eppeara to be
more Intelligently farmed or looks
better than that under our own Och
oco Irrigation Project.
Grazing Examiner Peterson arrived

ceed into the Paulina and Snow Moun
tain and Silver Creek sections to look
over the range conditions and will
select several areas on the Paulina
will be fenced with woven wire in
order that a detailed study of forage
growth can be made. . The object of
this study is to aid in determining
definitely after two or three years of
observation Just when the different
ranges are ready for use.
The local Forestry office is thank
ful for a recent small appropriation
for maintenance work on the Mill
Creek road, also a small amount
which will be used In an effort to
open a passable way for autos be
tween Big Summit Prairie and Paul

Mr. G. C. Bright of the Portland

long as funds are available for them
