HARD SURFACE. .
From the: present apptyirance of
our down town streets it seems clear
that they must . be hard surfaced
next spring or a lot of money wasted
tn temporary repairs. In fair condi
tion early last fall they gave pro
mise, when the suggestion ot hard
surfacing was first made, of being
sufficient for another year. Since
then, however, the bumps caused by
carrying water pipes across the street
and the chuck holes developed when
water collected in the single tracks
broken out after the December
storm have made the streets almost
as rough as they were before the
cindering in the spring of 191 S.
With costs as high as they are at
present some property owners na
turally shrink from the expense in
volved in laying hard surface. This
is especially true of those whose pro
perty is occupied under leases that
were written at a low rent and have
still some time to run. The expense
seems Justified, however, when the
alternative of temporary repairs is
considered, and the fact that such re
pairs cannot make the streets much
better than they now are. Store
keepers especially, whose show win
dows suffer from the dust of an un
paved street look for a saving, and
it is probable that the cost of street
sprinkling can be reduced.
In some ways Bend is a hustling,
thriving little city and in others a
provincial town. Hard 'surface pave
ment on our business streets will give
us a start out of the provincial class.
Having been unsolicited the testi
monial.from the county Farm Bureau
for the weekly edition of The Bul
letin, reported in yesterday's daily
edition, is especially gratifying. With
its weekly for the country and the
daily edition for the city The Bulletin
covers the field.

Fooled Again.
They said this good old world would end, De
cember seventeen ; and fireworks of all kinds would"
lend their grandeur to the scene. I'd have to see
this best of globes dissolve beneath my feet, yet I
put on ascension robes with resignation sweet. "If,
with the balance of the race I have to loop the loops,
I'll do it with a smiling face," I said, to frightened
groups. Resigned to seeing things explode, or pass
in living fire, gave away my chaste 'abode, my
corkscrew and my lyre. I threw away my cherished
pipe, a box of good cigars; "because," 1 said, "the
time is ripe for me to climb the stars. I won't have
use for worldly things, I'll care not for long" green,
when I have donned my shining wings, December
seventeen." The fatal morning came at last, and
found me in my room; the skies with clouds were
overcast, as though with threat of doom. All day
I waited for the crash of planets overturned, and
passed up smokes and missed my hash, and for the
climax yearned. I'm trying to regain the junk
I lightly gave away; once more my fingers go ker
plunk upon the harp all day. My faith in prophets,
once so" strong, is in the soup tureen, since I was
bilked with all that throng, December seventeen.

REDMOND. Jan. 8. A number of
the citizens of Redmond who like
to sing have started the. movement
to hold a community oing every Sun

3:30 and 4:30. The first of these
"sings" was held Sunday afternoon
and quite a number of people were
in attendance. Each person present
has phedged to bring one more at the
next meeting, and it is hoped that
soon the entire town will turn out
for these meetings.
The dance given by the Knights of
Pythias on New Years' Eve was at
tended by a good sized crowd from
all sections of the county, and an ex
cellent time was enjoyed by all till
the wee sma' hours in the morning.
At midnight the hall was darkened
for a few minutes then turned on
again and a sign bidding all a Happy
New Year was unveiled. A delicious
supper was served by (he wives 'of
several Knights.
rs. J. B. Davis and small son
left Tuesday morning for the eastern
part of the state where they will visit
relatives for some time.
Students of the various colleges
and universities who wore home dur

The, call from all sides that the '
legislature adjourn just as quickly
as it can after meeting in special
session is not very flattering to the
worthy law makers of the state. !
Tree That Rotates.
A cross section of a great old spruce
tree from Alaska tells (he story of a
tree which executed a spin, like a ballet-dancer.
This cross section shows
a most peculiar structure, which has
caused a great deal of speculation
among the various foresters through
out the country, and a very Interesting
explanation is advanced in American
Forestry.
It is known that a tree grown at a
slant forms on the lower side of the
trunk a dense reddish wood known or
"rotholz." This spiral in this case is
of such sort, and as It is a continu
ous formation, winding from the cen
ter to within half an Inch from the
circumference, It is surmised that It
was growing in an inclined position on
the edge of a glacier, where by some
shifting It was caused lo rotate, so
that all sides of the tree were success
ively on the downward side. Thus, as
the tree grew, and Its rotation contin
ued slowly, the "rotholz" developed
Into a spiral.
Seaweed Scenes.
With a needle and human hair pic
tures have been produced on silk and
Ivory which have amazed the art crit
ics. This fact is recalled by a catalogue
of freak pictures which has lately
been published. Landscapes, sea
scapes, portraits, and natural history
pictures have been produced with ex
traordinary skill.
Needlework and beadwork pictures
are fairly common, and shell, seaweed,
and feather pictures were also very
popular at one time. Seaweed pic
tures dale hack to 1780, when "an un
known lady" exhibited three land
scapes In oil, "the trees and shrubs be
ing made In seaweed a new inven
tion," to quote the catalogue.
Pictures cut In paper were also fre
quently exhibited, while on one occn-.
slon a Indy exhibited a festoon of flow
ers cut In cork.
