TUESDAY. MARCH 2. 1920
THE STATE SONO.
Some days alio wo reported the
fact that a vrite had been offered for
a poem to be tied as an OreRon
state song. Three poems have been
selected from the number submitted
and these are now to be rjiven pub
licity and the winner selected by
popular approval, according to Tort
land newspaper announcements.
So. far as we are concerned we are
"agin" all three because they are
not in any respect representative of
the state as a whole. They are all
by valley or coast authors and the
furthest east they get in their des
criptions of the state is the summit
of the Cascades. There is stuff about
the "fragrant fir trees" and "the
soft refrain o.' the falling rain" but
never a word about the sage brush
or the pine.
Let 'em divide the state and make
their western Oregon songs, but so
long as Oregon actually runs as far
east as the Idaho line if we are to
have an Oregon song let's have it for
the whole state.
Every now and then something de
velops to show just how big-hearted
a town Bend is. Properly approach
ed its citizens will go a little deeper
into their jeans, we believe, on be
half of a worthy cause than those of
any other town in the. state. It does
not have to be a charity, necessar
ily, for which money is sought, as
witness the local contribution to the
membership fund of the State Cham
ber of commerce 10 per cent of the
total raised in the state. Now conies
another financial report showing that
the county subscribed $ 1 .155.45 for;
tne baby home in Portland. Not all
or tnis came from Bend but the
greater part of it did. and the to'al
was exceeded only by some of the
wealthier counties.
The Auto Shows
Each year I go to see the show where autos are
displayed, those works of art from every mart, the
finest wagons made. The limousine in brewster
green, with cushions large and fat! "Some day,"
I sigh, "I hope to buy a gorgeous van like that."
The new sedan of noble plan suggests' a lifelong
bliss. "Some day," I moan, "I hope to own just
such a bus as this." And, bright and gay, the new
coupe appeals to me, you bet; had I the wad, I'd
scorch abroad in such a wagonette. I view them
all, the big and small, the open and the closed;
they are so fine I shed some brine, as haply you've
supposed; the luscious peach beyond your reach is
wormwood to the soul, and gorgeous boats cost
many groats, and I've mislaid my roll. I walk the
floor and look them o'er, and sigh to gaffers near,
"The old tin boat that gets my goat must do an
other year."

HAD BATTLE IN OPEN GRAVE
Obsequies Postponed While Terrier
; : and Wildcat Settled Their Little -.
... . Difficulty.: , . .
Alfred Searcy is to Australia what
Buffalo Bill and the other scouts and
pioneers of our early West are to
America. Life, too, In the Australian
northwest was no less rough than upon)
our own Indian plains. Searcy tells
this story of a burial In the "early
days" at Port Darwin: . , ,..
"At tbe grave it was discovered that
a wildcat had taken refuge in It The
warden of the goldfields, who was to
conduct the service, requested the re
moval of the animal, but this was ob
jected to by Ihe owner of a terrier
with a reputation. This 'sport'
thought the opportunity to see a tight
too good to be lost, and the majority
of those present quite agreed. More
over, ns one 'ould glntleinnn' remark
ed, 'I'm. sure Dick won't mind waiting
a bit. Indade, It's himself would like
to be standing up to see tlie fun, God
bless him.'
"As he uttered what was intended
to be a compliment to the deceased
the terrier saw the cat, and in a mo
ment flying hair ntlested Ihe reailly
of the bailie. P,oih animals had their
backers, and numerous bets were
made by the crowd as it surged around
the grave. The contest was short,
sharp and decisive, Ihe cat 'going un
der,' but not until It bad Inflicted se
vere punishment upon' iis adversary.
The dog was then hoisted out of the
grave, the fellows immediately became
fittingly solemn and the burial of poor
Dick was proceeded with."

Keep clean yourself. Clean

98o Metal
A Maxwell is 98' metal, and the very host metal that
metallurgists can specify. Found for pound it equals
the metal in any ear built.
The Maxwell is made of light-weight hut strong
metals. .
They had to he light because the mission of the
Maxwell is economical transportation..
They had to be strong because the Maxwell is built
to carry just as heavy a passenger load over the same
roads and at the same speed as any car, despite its
price or .M.e.
Any engineer will tell you that in getting that rare
combination of strength with lightness high prices
must be paid for the metals.
Their use, however, repays the makers of the
Maxwell in many ways because each car each day is
winning friends. '
Today these friendships, expressed in terms of cars,
are well on the road to 400,000.
You cannot go back of these numbers any more
than you can go backvof the fact that the-sun rises
in the morning.
They tell the story; and it's largely a story of what
the Maxwell is made of fine metals.
