As Mark Antony said of Caesar, "the evil that men do lives after them, the good Is oft interred with their bones. and so It is, perhaps, with legisla tures. But we do not speak Just here of the late lamented session lu any dis paragement, or to discuss its larger deeds and apparent misdeeds. Rath' er Is it our purpose to remark in passing upon the record of our local representatives. Mr. Burdick, of Redmond, has come through his first legislative session with distinct credit. He has proved himself capable, likeable and balanced. He voted on the common- sense side of nearly every question and won the confidence and respect of his fellow members. From a local standpoint he has played fair and has worked with bis joint represent ative, Mr. Forbes, for the best inter ests of this territory. For Vernon A. Forbes, of Bend, this was a third session. He entered it with the advantages of experience and prestige; he has emerged from it with a record which is second to that of no other, member. As discerning a judge of legislative efficiency as C. C. Chapman, of the Oregon Voter, who has been at the capital throughout the session, says, "Forbes Is the smartset man in the lower house." That is praise worth having, and pralee well deserved in jhli Instance. Mr. Forbes made good. .The re cord of his votes is worth examining. It stands the test, both in state-wide matters and where local affairs are concerned. For Deschutes county he certainly "brought home the ba con,'1 and in all things labored dili gently for his constituents. Here, in detail, is what Mr. Chap man says about Representative Forbes In a recent issue of the Ore gon Voter, while discussing county division questions: "The Deschutes county boosters are succeeding in getting the legisla ture to ratify a county division. There was a vote, and on the face of the re turns Deschutes county was cut off from Crook county. Fraud was al leged, and the case is now in the courts for determination. "But the enterprising people of Bend, the county seat of the new county, are not satisfied to let the courts take their course. They are ably represented by Vernon A. Forbes, who Is so strong in the House of Representatives that he car ried the hill through and probably will get it through the Senate. "Forbes is the smartest man of all the active floor leaders in the lower house. He is quick, experienced and resourceful. He is making his big fight for Deschutes county, add is strong enough to get favorable action in the upper house." He was strong enough. The vote in the Senate was unanimous.

Estimates now being made by the orange show .directors re that from 160,000 to 176,000 people will visit the exposition, under favorable weather conditions. HIGH SCHOOL TO BE ' DEDICATED FRIDAY FORBES, OF BEND. (By C. C. Chapman, in Oregon Voter) For sheer ability it is doubtful whether any debater on the floor of the house can be classed with Forbes, of Bend. When he fails to carry Mb point, it is because he outrages the finer feelings of many members by his cavalier contempt for moral con victions. But he carries nearly ev ery point he fights for, and when he loses temporarily on the floor, he wins later, as a rule by his quick work in organizing the house to re verse itself. I have never coddled Forbes, al though his abilities have compelled my admiration. But I believe in "giving the devil his due," and I will say this that Forbes' word in a political promise is absolutely re liable; he does not straddle; he plays his kind of a game square. While I cannot bring myself to believe that he is ever unselfish, I must admit he is forceful, consistent, courageous and some scrapper.

This remarkable film will be shown at the Grand Theatre at two matinee shows, the first at 2:30 and the second at 3:45 Thursday after noon, Washington's birthday at the Grand Theatre.
