PAVING
When the subject ot paving the
business streets of Bend was under
consideration last spring The Bulle
tin favored the plan, and in the in
tervening months has seen no reason
for changing the opinion expressed
af that time. Indeed, as one" ob
serves the increasing bad condition
of our downtown streets, the only
Change possible would be a deeper
conviction that only by paving will
our problem be solved.
This feeling was much in evidence
at last night's meeting to discuss
the paving plan. Those who favored
hard surfacing last spring favor It
more strongly now and those who op
posed it then now have changed their
minds, partly because they want im
proved streets and partly no doubt,
because they believe the work can
be done more cheaply now than then
seemed possible.
Since this paving proposition has
come to a head now in connection
with the local use of a particular type
of hard surface, it is naturally in the
position of itself against the field.
The position carries no handicap,
however. Clearly it has the inside
track In the minds of many and if
they are in the majority the matter
is settled.
Actually, this business of paving
Is not a city affair. It is of concern
only to the individual property own
ers who will have the paving to pay
for. The city, is merely their agent
in arranging for financing and the
details of the contract. So long as
the council has before it a petition
for hard surface of no particular
type it is the council's duty to in
vestigate and call for bids. To do
otherwise would be to accept an un
warranted responsibility. On the
other hand, if a named type of pave
ment is asked for by a majority, the
council should lose no time in per
forming the necessary agency func
tions and getting the paving started.
The smoke of battle now will rise, and for four
months obscure the skies. The two great parties
now are set to make things hum, already yet. The
candidates, good men and true, with ardor or alarm
will view, and show catastrophe begins the day the
other fellow wins. The roorbacks that our fathers
knew will trot around a time or two, with fierce
old gags, decayed and weird, and chestnuts of the
long gray beard. We who have struck for higher
pay, and shorter hours, and cheaper hay, will now
be asked, by statesmen bold, as we've been asked
so oft of old, to strike for altars and for fires, and
for the green graves of our sires. And sounding
E latitudes will soar around our ears and prove a
ore. We view the fuss serenely now; we won't
throw bricks in such a row ; but in three weeks or
maybe six, you'll see -us busy throwing bricks, and
dodging rocks by others heaved we'll all be rattled,
mad and peeved. And when the smoke has cleared
away, the morrow of election day, we'll wonder
why we acted thus, and tore our garments in
the fuss.

NEW YORK, Aug. 10. Hospital
supplies in New York city have In
creased 63 per cent during the last
year, according to figures made pub
lic by the Post-Graduate hospital
here. Twenty-five articles used in
the hospitals were found to have In
creased this amount. In 10 years
the increase has been enormous.
In meats alone the boasts from
1910 to 1920 range from 88 per cent
for pork to 1S3 per cent for beef,
with mutton, lamb and veal showing
gains of 183, 154 and 92 per cent,
respectively.
Alcohol, tongue depressers, apri
cots, cotton, and X-ray plates all
to purchase alcohol, tax-free, had
been delayed on Its way to or In
Washington and the hospital, to sat
isfy its demands, was required to
purchaser small quantity at the rate
of $6.20 a gallon, when the price at
the time, with tho permit, was So
cents a gallon.
Other articles Included In the com
modities which have Joined in the
price Jump were thermometers, rub
ber gloves, dried vegetables, sugar,
tomatoes, glycerine, cotton, waste,
rubber throat bags, towels, paper
napkins, sheets, spreads, toilet soap,
washing powder, chip soap and co
caine.. Yet, despite th? enormously In
creased cost of sickness, people con
tinue to get sick. PoBt-Grnduato's
patient attendance for the present
year will exceed that of any past
year and her dispensary has become
so crowded that 10 new consulting
rooms are required at once.
Is tho reason giveu for tho rise In
the price of foodstuffs. The crop
this year Is normal, but n shortuKe
exists in this country. The govern
ment has forbidden tho exportation
of rice, not only from tills country
to others, but from province to prov
ince, but smuggling Is known to be
curried on extensively and the sitttit
lion Is dally growing more serious.

NEW YORK, Aug. 10. Amateur
golfers of the United tSates will try
out a brand-new plan when they un
limber their mashies, etc., for. this
year's national tournament, Septem
ber 6.
The tournament committee of the
United States Golf association last
winter picked the Engineers' ekib
course on Long island for the cham
pionship, but so many entrants were
anticipated that it soon was evident
that there would be an awful jam In
clearing away the qualifying round.
The North Shore club solved the
problem when it offered Its course
. to serve also in the qualifying round;.
So the hundreds of golfers will take
the jumps on two courses this year
to qualify.
The qualifying round will consist
of 36 holes, medal play. The enter
ing list will be split into two sections,
half of which will play the North
Shore course and the other half the!
Engineers' course. Completing the
18 holes, the players will exchange
courses at noon, playing the next 18
holes on a brand-new link.
Only 32 players will survive the
qualifying round. In the recent paBt
It has been customary for every play
er who tied at the 32nd top score
to start in the match play. This
will not obtain this year. The tied
players will play off the deadlock
and pairings will be made for only 32
players.
Match play will be started the day
following the qualifying round and
all matches will be played on the En
gineers' club course. Flay will start
Monday with the qualifying round.
Finals will be played, 36 holes, the
following Saturday.

LONDON. Aug. 10. July "sulos"
In London prove that production has
caught up with demand In a greut
many essentials.
For four years the July "stiles"
were mere pretenses. Hut this year
the careful purchaser has been able
to obtain real bargains. Tho store
keepers for some, time past have
been coming to the realization that
they must attract customers At
one timo they let their customers
feel they wore doing them a real
favor .by serving them at all. Com
petition was at a standstill and
prices continued to soar.
The wild orgy of upending which
was indulged In by the now rich Is
beginning to wane. Pooplo are
learning the wisdom of doing with
out those non-esscTitluls which thoy
consider loo expensive, and this year
the storekeeper has "fait the
draught." - 1
In addition, the Improved rata of
exchange between Great Britain and
America, has brought prices down
considerably. This Is specially no
ticeable In women's wear. Chinese
and Japanese silks are greatly down.
Silk stockings have tumbled 30 per
cent.
Imported meat Is very cheap, and
In some parts ot London "Is being
offered at 8 cents a pound.
In Northampton there are ware
houses full of boots awaiting purchasers.
Last year women almost went on
bended knee to their dressmakers,
begging them to accept their ordors.
This year the dressmakers are doing
the soliciting.
Hotel managers everywhere com
plain that "people are not spending
as thoy did last year." This Is
noticeable not only among their
British patrons but the Americans,
too. There is no tendency among
