U5T'S FORGET IT
Thero can bo no disagreement
with tho Oregouiun when It as
serts that it was singular that
Portland's interest in the rest of
the state should be attacked at a
meeting held to celebrate the
construction of the Crooked river
bridge. All the circumstances of
the affair the expression of
criticism, that is were most
remarkable. Even though the
charge were true It was a most
inept time to express it and since
tho charge had no foundation it
id surprising that one so careless
of the fact could have been found
to make the attack. 'Add to this
that the criticism came from a
member of tho Portland group
that was being entertained by
the Rend chamber and had been
put forward as one of their
spokesmen by the Portland dele
gation aud the mystery is com
plotej" Thai Portland's treatment of
this section bad been such that
central Oregonians would be jus
tified, in making business alli-inces-with
San Franciscan firms
as soon as the now railroad was
finished south from Bend was
tbe assertion made by a Portland
Speaker at the evening banquet.
So Instances of bad treatment or
of indifference were cited. Mere
ly the bald statement was made.
The statement is, of course.
wron and no instances were
rited because none exist.
.The Oregonian is Justifiably in
dignant over the incident and it
is wholly right in its catalog of
benefits afforded this section and
.the rest of the state by the gen
erosity of PortJand and Mult
nomah, county. This newspaper
has itself listed these benefits
mnrA'llinn nnre In the nast. Save
for the Ill-advised proposal for a
fair in 1925 there has been no
instance of pure selfishness to
ward the rest of the state exhib
ited by the metropolis and there
have been many ways in which it
has made sacrifices. Tho Port
land " chamber Jand settlement
program and the Multnomah
county contributions to the state
highway fund and the market
road ifund are outstanding ex
amples. The whole incident was most
regrettable. It should cot have
occurred. Since it did occur is
It not, now best to understand
that tlie charges that were made
were those of one man who re
flected neither the opinion of his
fellow' Portlandere nor of his
hosts br Bend. Let'8 understand
that and try to forget the most
unfortunate affair.
Filipinos, in the lower house
of tlie-legislature at Manila, are
attempting to levy a tax on pos
sessors .of bobbed hair. With
tho coming of freak legislation
tho Islands should soon bo ready
for self-government.
.President V. F. Turner of the
Oregon. Trunk has recommended
Bend for a division point for his
railroad, and President Ralph
Budd wants Bend as the terminus
of a -Ureal Northern division..
Won't the S. P. & S. say some
thing, please?

of preventive medicine list the
DoLrolt cop who found the $200.
