THE STRAHORN RAILROAD.
Yesterday's vote by the Commer
cial club, telling the state of Oregon
that it is not im favor of the construc
tion of the Strahorn railroad, will
, undoubtedly be received with amaze
ment. Hitherto, the state has under
stood indeed, taken for granted
that Bend would be one of the chief
beneficiaries from the construction
of the road and was heart and soul
in favor of it. In a way, the project
was born in Bend, Mr. Strahorn first
announced his plans here and an en
thusiastic reception was given them,
later the town voted $35,000 in bonds'
to buy terminal property, the prop
erty was bought, is still held by the
city and interest is being paid oa the
bonds, and the Commercial club has
been active in securing right of way
for the lines. In the face of all
this, we say, the news that the Com
mercial club does not favor the con
struction of the road will be received
with amazement.
The answer, of course. Is quite
clear. The Commercial club, faced
with the alternatives of supporting a
project which is not certainly sure
to be of benefit and which might in
juriously affect the saw mills on
which the town's present prosperity
is built, or of refusing to support in
order to avoid doing anything that
might injure the mills, has proceeded
on the theory that a bird in the hand
is worth two in the bush. In other
words, it is made clear again that
the business Interests of Bend, as
represented by the Commercial club,,
recognize what the mills mean to
the town and will do nothing which
may jeopardize them.
The position of the mills,' as so
frankly stated by Mr. KeVes yester-,
day, Is purely a selfish one, but It
cannot be said that there was any
altruism in the Commercial club's
action, as least so far as its unfavor
able vote was influenced by a feeling
that local business prosperity would
be affected by conditions affecting
the mills. It would have been
equally selfish, on the part 'of the
club, to have voted in favor of the
road because It would increase pros
perity, although injuring the mills.
The unfortunate phases 'of the af
fair are that the town, and the Com
mercial club, should have gone so
far In support of the project In the
past if always underlying it were
these possibilities of injury to local
industries, and the fact that yester
day's refusal of support was without

any qualification. The Commercial
club would favor the project it it
thought the mills would not be in
jured and it has been stated that
in a few years, two or three, or at
the most four, the possibility of in
jury would be past. The club, then.
might have opposed the Immediate
construction of the road but recorded
itself as in favor when the proper
time arrived. Or it might have
favored the east and west line, which
is not objected to by the mill com
panies, opposing the line to Klamath
Falls until later.
As things now stand, however, the
club is on record as unqualifiedly
opposed to the whole Strahorn proj
ect, and this, we fear, may bring
unjust and unfortunate criticism
both of the mills and the town.
We trust that we may be found
wrong.
The Bulletin takes pride in the
fact that every one of its 12 employes
has subscribed for a Victory loan
bond.

the opening, sentence from Jullen
Josephson's scenario, "String
Beans," which serves to Introduce
Charles Ray in his next Paramount
picture which will be shown at the
Liberty theater Friday, Saturday and
Saturday matinee. In highly con
densed form It presents a vivid pic
ture of the story's opening scenes.
Toby Watkins is the sort of coun
try boy, brave, humorous and thor
oughly human, that all Charles Ray's
admirers like to see him portray. It
is the sort of character that has made
the Ray pictures sure-fire offerings
from the exhibitor's point of view.
But Toby Watkins is no ordinary
boy. He is Imaginative and some
what dreamy, and every night when
his day's- work is done he tgoes to
his room and takes out a book that
he has bought by mall, "What Every
Young Poet Ought to Know." For
Toby is ambitious to be a writer.
The scenes of the story change to
a country newspaper office where
Toby goes In search of opportunity.
This part of the story Is developed
with realism and charm by the
author, Julien Josephson, who was
formerly a country editor himself,
and who writes of that life with
delightful sympathy.
It is stated that Ray's handling
of the role of Toby Watkins will
rank as one of the best screen por-
