HELP WORTH HAVING.
Bend has developed such a habit
of going out and getting what Bend
wants, that the other day a legisla
tive lobbyist at Salem facetiously
suggested memorialising Congress
for a ten million dollar appropria
tion to dredge the Deschutes river
and install locks so that Portland's
ocean going vessels could proceed
comfortably to the metropolis of the
interior.
The Bulletin, we admit, likewise
has an ingrowing cuBtom of egging
Bend on in its acquisitive activities,
not to mention aiding and abetting
them to its utmost ability.
And just now we perceive another
first class chance for urging a new
campaign for something we can get
U we go after it, and something worth
getting for all Central Oregon.
We refer to the $45,000 appropri
ation for Oregon publicity which the
legislature has just granted, and
which is to be spent during the next
two years.
We don't suggest actually getting
any of the cash, but we do suggest
''getting all we can of the benefits
Which will follow the spending of it.
This fund Will be used in co-operation
witb like amounts put up by
British Columbia nd Washington,
and handled by a Joint board. . Its
primary purpose is to attract tour
ists. It will finance a nation-wide
.advertising campaign . setting forth
vhy It is worth -while tor travelers
to come to the Pacific Northwest. '
'Just now, -when all the world is
war-bound, is a peculiarly appropri
ate time for such a venture.' Amer
icans who travel must travel in Amer
ica. Millions that formerly wece
spent in Europe will be spent on this
. continent.
Further, as previously pointed out
in these columns, tbe $17.50 differ
ential which formerly has penalized
Oregon where transcontinental rout
ings are concerned, is in course of
being eliminated. Soon tourists from
the east can come or go via Port
land in their grand swing around the
circle, without extra cost.
Lastly, California spends millions
in systematic national publicity. And
it brings there many, many more
millions than are invested. Califor
nia becomes constantly richer from
its tourist trade.
Now Oregon is going after her
share of this modern El Dorado.
Is Central Oregon going after her
share of Oregon's share?
We don't doubt it?
And just by way of preparation,
we suggest that the Commercial club
keep its weather eye alertly open,
and that It gets in touch with the
Oregon members of the new com
mission just as soon as they are ap
pointed, with a view to insuring Cen
tral Oregon her just portion of the
publicity and its results.

SEA HEROES RECEIVE
AWARD IN ENGLAND
Americans Receive 925,000 From Sal
vage Court for Exploit in
Saving Ship.
By .T. W. Pegler
(United Press Staff Correspondent)
LONDON, Feb. 23. Three Amer
ican sea-heroes are sailing home with
25,000 and the formal thanks of
a British salvage court as their re
ward for one of the most courageous
exploits in British maritime history.
The are Bob Fergusson, of San Fran
cisco, and Tom Welch and John
Smith, "of the U. S. A."
By a sudden impulse they pledged
themselves to stand. by one another
and the sea-going tug Vigilant, of
New York. Battling one of the
fiercest gales the Atlantic has ever
known the trio refused all aid and
brought their doughty but badly pun
ished little craft safe into Cardiff.
Fergusson told his story to the
United Press as he left the salvage
court hearing, a man of independent
means.
"We ran into a rough patch of
weather soon after leaving New York
last October 13," he said. "It made
us dodge Into Halifax for a day but
we reached St. John's on the 17th.
That very afternoon we sailed again,
'with Captain Inse and a crew of
sixteen. I was second Officer.
''We had dirty weather from the
atari
coal grew lighter and we rolled more
nd more. Four days this lasted.
Then, 800 miles off the Irish coast
Captain Ince wirelessed for help.
Queenstown replied that a patrol
boat was coming but Bhe never did
find us. Meanwhile we put out dis
tress signals and sighted a vessel
about twp miles off, Sh.e never even
hesitated.
"On Sunday, the 29th we ran into
the fiercest gale I have ever exper
ienced in all my years of sea-faring.
Captain Ince was afraid we would
turn turtle so he signalled the Holland-American
liner Ryndam for help
and gave the order to abandon ship.
: "I didn't want to quit so I went
below to get volunteers to save the
tug. There I found the crew dressed
in their shore clothes, with life pre
servers under their coats.
"They gave me the big laugh
thought I was kidding. I passed
them up and went into the engine
room. There was Welch, getting
ready to leave.
"I looked him straight in tbe eye.
Welch,' I said, 'you told mc yester
day you were no bar-room sailor.
Now's your chance to prove It.' He
didn't say anything, just stuck out
his hand and we shook. Then we
got Smith and the three of us told
the Captain we were going to stick.
"The Ryndam came tumbling
along. Captain Ince and the rest
went off in a boat still calling us
fools and the last we saw of tbe
liner passengers were at her rails
giving us a last cheer.
"Welch went down to the engines,
Smith took care of the fires and I
took the bridge. We had no food; I
Just chewed tobacco. At last we
sighted the Scotch vessel. Flying
Fox which sent us six men to repair
a break-down in our steering gear.
After that it was comparatively easy
to reach Cardiff."
Fergusson made just as hard a
fight for his salvage. The ship
owners wanted to give him $1,000
and an Inscribed gold watch and
$50 to each of the seamen. Fer
gusson replied "nothing doing" and
fought his case in court.
He received $12,600 and Welch
and Smith $6,500 each.

Whether the formal opening of the

Phillip Brooks, owner of the Inn an
nounced this morning. Everything
will be in apple pie order by that

to say at present whether the formul
opening will be before or after that
date.
. The non-arrival, of special locks.
and nearly 500 glass door knobs
which have been ordered expressed
to Bend, is the'only factor in caus

More Than $330,000 Distributed This
Month, on Order Made by the
U. P. Directors.
Over $336,400 -was paid ont to the
employes of the O.-W. R. & N. Co.
during February, each employe whose
salary was not in excess of $150 per
month receiving one month's extra
compensation for services rendered
during the year 1916. The payment
was the result of the action ot. the
board of directors of the Union Pa
cific system, and nearly 50,000 em
ployes on the system lines were ben
efitted, and the total payments made
will aggregate a colossal amount.
Many expression of appreciation
have been heard, and the generosity
and thoughtfulness ot the directors
in helping employes meet the in
creased cost of living is highly com
mendable. '

"DRINK STOP.M" VICTIMS.
Naw 6tudy of Why 8om Ken Go en
P.riodio Dsbauoh.s.
Tbcro has recently boon orgnnlzed in
Hartford. Conn., a foundation for n
new line of research work relating to
the alcohoHc question. This research
will hove for lis ol'Ject the explanation
of "drink storms." which attack men
who are not regular drinkers, but sud.
deoly plunge Into a debauch aud uso
liquor to excess for a limited crlod,
after which they resume tbelr usual
condition of tempcrato living.
This subject Is treated by Dr. T. D.
Crolhers of Hartford, Conn., in the
New York Medical Itccord. He says:
"What condition of body and mind fur.
nlsbcs tuo soil, plants tbo seed and fa
vors tbe growth In liieliriety and alco
holism Is yet to be studied. What laws
of growthheredity, culture, surround
Inpi, nutrition and mental Impression
furor tlie development of t lie drink evil
are rncatlous for tbo future.
"Why the degeneration from tho no
uf alcohol Is in one Instniiro slow, con
cealed and breaking out only after a
lifetime In various dlRcacs: In another
rapid, positive and mot emphatic, nnd
In a third concentrated on tbo brain
and nervous system or ou tho organs
of nutrition, and so on through a long
list of questions as to why and how
this or that particular phase of disease
brenks out, are questions for future
study.
"This Is the new scientific field where
exact study Is called for, groupings of
facts and studies of their meanings, to
show the causes of alcohol addiction."
