::cv comes a complication
A very unfortunate situation is
arising from the action recently tak
en by the Bend Commercial club In
asking that the development of tho
Benham Falls project be delayed be
cause ot the fact that the water tor
reclaiming the 200,000 acres under
consideration Is to come from the
Deschutes.
The club sets forth the statements
that their mill ponds would be frox
en over In the winter, shutting down
their mills for three months each
year, that their power plants would
bo limited, and that future mills In
cluding a proposed paper pulp mill,
would be hampered, and lastly but
not least that the scenic value of the
river would s be impaired, at and
below Bend.

CUPPER OBJECTS
The first reaction to the Commer
cial club request that a commission
be appointed to study the water de
velopment possibilities o t Central
Oregon appears In a statement trout
State Engineer Cupper in the Sun
day Oregonlan. The substance of
Mr. Cupper's argument is that a suf
ficient investigation of the Irrigation
possibilities of the Decshutea river
has already been made and that any
obstacle thrown in the way ot the
plans based on that Investigation will
result only In delay. On that ac
count he opposes the appointment of
a commission and urges that differ
ences be settled and the Irrigation
plana proceeded with.
It is unfortunate that In his state
ment Mr. Cupper wholly fails to
touch on the main argument present
ed in the Commercial club state
ment, that Is, the importance to

His keeu ears, too, caught much
trout the fragment ot couvutsuttuu
that tlte rour of the iralu fulled to

those ttddtvsiwd, wliicU heard a no ft

It be asking too much?"
Jolm t'onrud tlieti heard the man's
voice.
"The lad la not with me, but I
will gladly take yon to your door.
There are so many hold-ups I do
uot blame you for being at raid."
Courad felt that the girl of the soft
voice would have withdrawn her
strange request hud she known the
mail was alone. She had heard him
tulkiug to the wotuun beside him and
ignite naturally supposed theiu
friends.
"Thank yon so much," she said, a
trifle reluctantly, Conrad thought..
Re did not like the smooth quality
of the man's voice. It was uot au
easy mutter to. turn, but Conrad
turned. One look at the smooth face
with its good-lookltig crookedness,
whs enough for 'Conrad. lie, too,
would get off at Seventy-ninth street,
and he, too, would escort the girl
but at a slight distuuee behind her.
So they three, together with tlie
other Seveuty -liliitu-airevlers, fought
their way to the street and cast the
air of tlie subway from their lungs.
The trusting girl and the wrong
man started down toward West End
avenue the girl being piloted by the
man. She would have walked down
liroad-vsy and then turned off the
safe highway only at ber owu corner,
but the man willed It otherwise.
Conrad followed close behind, but
no: so near as to let the Couple know
of h's proximity.
West End avenue Is secluded
enough at bct, but where there are
buildings torn down and others being
erected it takes on a drearine-a quite
foreign to Broadway's neighbor.
It was when well within that
naked darkness thc the wrong mult

ing girl's arm. gave Iter a nasty fling
backward and din ted off.
Conrad's h-t struck him Just as his
nimble legs were fast carrying him
Into safety. He fell with a crash and
Conrad sprang to the spot where he
supposed the girl would have crumpled
into an inert heap.
She was standing straight up, but
clinging to a stone coping until she
should have sufficiently regained her
composure. Conrad had time to con
sider her a brave little sport.
"Walt there a second." he blurted
hurriedly, "until I fix him up with a
policeman. Please," he added, as If
his tone had been too abrupt.
And having dispatched the gentle
manly crook to his proper habitation
after giving swift details to the otli
cer, Conrad returned to the girl.
There was an , unexpected little
sjnlje In her eyes, when he put the
package .back Into her hands. He
hoped she wasn't going to overdo the
thank business. Cnrad was not over
fond of emotional scenes. -
"J thank you." the girl said simply.
'i happened to overhear' yon ask
ing that man to walk home with you,
and followed. I didn't like bis looks,"
said Conrad.
it was absolutely silly of me." the
girl confessed, "but I have been so
sickened by the great headlines In all
the pui-ers telling of brutal crimes
In all parts of the city that my nerves
got the better of me tonight. I bare
not felt so before. My sinter In Long
Island asked me to bring In her very
valuable diamond necklace and pnt lt
hi her vault. I bave lt here," she
said and drew forth a tiny package
that she had carried within the folds
of her paper.
Conrad grinned.
"Then 1 am not a hero at alt I
suppose there is a pair of od shoe
in this one," he suggested Indicating
the package the wrong man had taken.
"Not old ones," laughed Jean Ven
ner, "but a brand-new pair for which
I paid nineteen dollars. They sre
quite worth sending a crook to Jail
for."
They were walking toward her
home now quite as If thej had gone
to school together. Conrad was wish
ing they had. He would by this
time have had her tucked off some
where In the West where the boun
diiiy of a ranch would protect her
from city crook-s.
"Tl en I am only a nlneteen-dollar
here instead of a few-thnnsand-dollsr
one," he lunched. "If you would let

I will be glnd to trail you with the
hope of being a real hero, 1 hiiphim
I need a bigger excuse than a pair of

query In the big e-teriier'a voice,
"I was going to ask ,ou to eotno In
and meet the nicest limn lu the- world,"
the girl said anil felt thill both the
tilivxt stm si mid herself were going to
like Ilie nineteen rlnMar hero,
"Your liiislinnd?" Conrad was i'oii
sctotiH of a nasty wnlt.
"My father." Johh lant'ttod softly.

The golden eagle, although large. It
not couriigeon. He never makes the
smallest attempt to defend bis nest,
nnd his prey consists of small defense,
less animals, like blue hares, new
born lambs and ptarmigan. In this
connection, a correspondent sends the
following story; Climbing uU Ulll on
my way home, one day, I ran Into the
shepherd In charge of the beat. He
had a large canvas bag over his shoul
der, which shepherds carry on the bill
at this time of the year. It bad a
large rent In It. and round about the
rent the canvas wa very bloodstained.
1 casually asked the shepherd how the
bag had got Into the wars, and this
was bis story, which I have no doubt
was perfectly accurate. On the pre
vious day he bad been out on the hills
soon after daylight. On one of the
higher tops he found a dead sheep,
with a live lamb; be put the binih Into
the hng and laid the bag In a cairn
while he went down Into "the corrle
below to ee after the sheep there.
When he readied the cairn on his re
turn he found the following state of
things; there was a large rent In the
bag. from which hlid was exuding
freely; the lamb, still Inside the bag.
had been torn open and the liver and
heart removed. That was the worV
of the eagle. As he came sailing over
the tops his eye must have en tight
the bug; probably the unfortunate
Innili gave a klk Inside, nnd made
the hag move. This caused the eagle
to eotne down for a jiear Inspection,
lfuvtng satisfied himself what the bag
contained, he tore It open and pro
(ded to break up tlie lamb.

A LITTLE OLD WANT AD
SURE GETS
What Is Your Telephone Service Worth?
The Pacific Telephone and Telegraph Company has built up '
a telephone system in Oregon from 7027 stations in 1900 to 94,
528 stations in 1920. This development was secured for the most
part during a period when cost of labor and materials wa3 nor
mal. During these 20 years the Telephone Company has carried
out its part in the building of Oregon. Its operating expenses
have increased faster than its revenue for the last five years it
has been operating at an 'increasing deficit. This condition can
not permanently continue.
New .capital cannot be obtained by public utilities at all ex
cept when rates are such as will afford reasonable assurance, with
efficient management, of earnings sufficient to care for legitimate
fixed charges and establish for them a basis of credit. This does
not mean that rates should be such as in themselves will supply
new capital, but that they be such as to justify capital investments
in competition with other business ventures.
The proposed rates represent a very small increase to the in
dividual user from 2L to 11 cents per clay. In the aggregate
they represent a revenue to the Telephone Company sufficient to
enable it to continue to serve the public, meet its payroll obliga
tions and show a reasonable return upon a legitimate investment.
Adequate service is dependent upon adequate rates.
The Pacific Telephone and Telegraph Co.
