Autos may now ascend to tho sum
mit of Broken Top Mountain, accord
ing to word brought yesterday from
thn ranger station there. The work
of constructing some semblance of a
roadway was completed yesterday by
Itaugera U.K. Smith and Forest Guard
A. W. Palmer and an automobile went
up tho entire way to the state cabin
on the divide. The trip is not recom
mended for an Inexperienced driver
as tho climb Is n sleep one and the
road is little more than a trail.
Fishermen have taken autos up in
tho vicinity previous to the comple
tion of the road hut it was not pass
able for tho average tourist on many
of the hills. Now these ran be nego
tiated if tho driver la willing to un
load his passengers on two or three
.if tho steepest pilches.
The trip Is about 23 or 24 miles al
together and can easily be accom
plished as a Sunday drive. The view
at tho summit is said to be extremely
worth while, as It Includes the moun
tains and lakes In tho surrounding
country on both sides. Tho eleva
tion Is 7000 feet.
Forestry officials, who have made
tho trip have no desire to mislead
motorists into believing that they will
find a paved highway running
straight up the mountain, and cau
tion tlioso who rocmlvo such tin Im
prosslon to stay at home. Driving Is
rough but it can be done.

Plan to Curtail
Transportation of
Troops to Europe
(By United Vram to The Dally Bulletin)
WASHINGTON, I). C, Sept.
29. Transportation of Amer-
lean troops to Europe In the
next six months may be greatly
curtailed. It has been learned
from the highest authorities
that the government Is consider-
Ing reducing troop movements
because the transportation of
the army prevents shipment of
supplies to England and France.
France alone has 1,000,000 tons
of supplies awaiting transporta-
tlon in American Atlantic ports.
The government admits that the
submarine menace Is alarming.
BEND GETS CENTRAL
ACCOUNTING OFFICE
I'oMul System Is Changed Local
llrunrli to Handle All County
Requisitions.
Notices were received yesterday by
the local postofflce apprising it of the
change in the auditing heretofore In
use by the United States postal de
partment. Instead of all county
statements being sent direct to Wash
ington, D. C, for auditing, this work
Is to be done in the Bend office,
which will hereafter be designated as
"central accounting office" for Des
chutes county. All other smaller
branches in the county are to be
known as district offices.
Requisitions for stamps, supplies,
etc. will be made on Bend and will
mean the assumption of a large
amount of additional work. This In
crease in business will probably ne
cessitate the employment of a larger
force of clerks in the near future.
FRIENDS LEARN OF
NURSE'S MARRIAGE
Yesterday acquaintances of Miss
Annetta Blodgett, a nurse at the Bend
Surgical Hospital, learned that she
had been secretly married in May to
Jack Williams, at Vancouver, Wash
ington. Mrs. Williams is now in
Seattle but will be back at her duties
Monday. Her husband has enlisted
In the army. She has been away on
a two months' vacation and not even
her sister knew of the marriage,
which took place when Miss Blodgett
went on a brief trip north last spring.
Oregon Journal Recounts
Deschutes County History
(This Is the story on Deschutes
County which Fred Lockley, of the
Oregon Journal, promised us after
we objected to his last article on
Crook county.)
Bend is the county seat of Des
chutes county, and thereby hangs a
tale. Deschutes county was created
from the western and southern parts
of Crook county at the general elec
tion on November 7 last year. But
It wasn't as simple as it sounds. In
the old days in some of the middle
western states when they wanted to
make a new county or change a coun
ty seat the question estranged life
long friends and led to prolonged
county seat wars In which blood was
shed. Nowadays we wage our wars
through the courts. So close was the
decision as to whether the new coun
ty should be cut oft from Crook coun
ty that a recount of the vote was de
manded. The law requires that at
least 65 per cent of those voting In
the proposed county shall vote for
the creation of the new county, while
at least 35 per cent of the votes cast
in the part of the county not Included
within the territory to be created into
a new county must approve. Injunc
tion proceedings were brought to pre
vent the creation of the new county,
on the ground that some of the votes
had been illegally counted tor the
division. When the case came to
trial the court hold that In one pre
cinct, where " the votes stood 30
against to 4 tor the proposed di
vision, these votes should not be
counted as having heen cast in the
proposed new county but in the old
county, as, In spite of the voting
place ibelng within the limits of the
proposed county, the voters lived In
that part of the county not Included
in the new county.
' On December 14, 1916, the gover
nor signed the proclamation declaring
Deschutes county a political entity of
the state. Ten days later the quo

SAN FRANCISCO. Cal.. Sept. 29.
All shipbuilding and other plants op

the employers and the unions mot
last night and formulated a tempo
rary wage agreement, which was
adopted toy all unions with the ex
ception of the boilermakers. One hun
dred and twenty plants reopened, but
most of them are crippled on account
of the lack of boilermakers, who have
complicated the situation worse than
ever.
SMITH MADE MEDIATOR.
(By United Preu to the Bend Bulletin)
PORTLAND, Sept. 29. Eugene
Smith, former president of the labor
council has been appointed ship yard
strike mediator by the city commis
sioners. Mayor Baker today issued
a statement In which he admitted
that his efforts to end the strike had
failed. Six hundred unionists have
signed the pledge to ignore the anti
picketing ordinance which aims to
flood the Jails with pickets.
10,000 WALK OIT IX SEATTLE.
(By United Pros to the bend Bulletin)
SEATTLE, Wash., Sept. 29. Ten
thousand ship yard workers struck
here this morning, affecting 96 yards
and shops. Eleventh hour attempts

WILL HOLD BANQUET.
Fred Wallace has arranged a re
ception and dinner at 6 o'clock to

honor of J. T. Hinkle, of Hermiston.
A number of people Interested in Ir
rigation will be asked in to meet the
legislator and It Is very probable
that he will deliver an address in re
gard to reclamation measures'.
warranto proceedings were filed and
papers served on the members of the
county court of the newly created
county. The order of Judge Duffy
was attacked and the. further fact
was set up that the new county had
no existence in actual fact. At the
session of the last legislature a bill
was passed directing the transfer of
the records to the new county and
confirming the creation of the new
county, and, to make assurance
doubly sure, creating the county
anew. The fight to prevent the cre
ation of the new county raged mer
rily in the legislature till the passage,
on January 31, 1917, of house bill
No. 135, by Forbes, which validated
all acts iu connection with the crea
tion of the new county. The bill car
ried an emergency clause and became
a law shortly after its passage.
In spite of this fact, on May 23 last,
Warren Brown, county clerk of Crook
county, refused to turn over to the
officials of Deschutes county the reg
istration cards of voters of the new
ly created county, on the ground that
the quo warranto proceedings had not
yet been decided by the courts.
On December 20, 1916, Bend was
selected as the temporary county seat.
In spite of the effort required to
bring the new county Into existence
the residents of Deschutes county be
lieve that it was worth all the time,
expenses and effort, for they have a
wonderfully rich slice of Eastern Ore
gon Included within their 1,928,077
acres of territory.
The newly created county Is rich
In resources. The establishment of
modern ancL extensive saw mills at
Bend has given a wonderful Impetus
to the growth and development of the
new county. Rich In Statural resourc
es, rich In scenic assets, Deschutes
county Is destined to see wonderful
development wlthtn the next fow
years.
