Pretty Soft for the Old-time Statesmen
BOND FUND DIVERSION
There was reported in the news
yesterday the action of the county
court in paying a road bill out of
(he county's bond and interest fund.
The dratt on this bond fund was
made so that payment might be
made in cash for a new part for a
county road truck. It is the plan to
use income accruing from the rent
al of the county tractor to repay
this borrowing although there is a
possibility that the cost of repairs
needed to keep the truck in service
may more than use up this rental in
come. It is a thankless task and one that
is distinctly unpleasant to us con
tiually to be calling attention to such
acts of the court and pointing out
their effect on the county's financial
condition. We shall continue to do
this, however, so long as this jug
gling of funds continues and until
the court settles down to the task
that the people expect it to perform,
namely, to handle county funds and
affairs in such way that county fi
nancial obligations may be met and
county credit restored.
It was but a few weeks ago that
the announcement was made by the
county treasurer that the county was
in default on one of its bond pay
ments and would be further in de
fault before the end of the year.
Happily, it developed that the exist
ing default could be cured and that
no further default was necessary so
far as payments due this year were
concerned. Then Judge De Armond
advanced the proposal that it might
be advisable to refinance the bonds
coming due next year and spread the
payments over a new period.
Now the reason for the temporary
default was the expenditure by the
court of funds that should have been
held for bond purposes. ,And if re
financing is necessary next year it
will be for the same reason plus, of
course, an unwillingness to levy a
tax sufficient to meet the bond pay
ments. Equally of course, every
penny diverted to other purposes
means more of a tax levy.
That is the reason why we protest
such diversions of funds as that or
dered by the court to pay for this
truck repair. Earlier this month
some $3,100 had been taken from the
bond fund for the purpose of calling
road warrants. Still earlier in the
year moneys were diverted from the
market road fund. In 1931, $3,322.97
was diverted from the market road
fund to the road fund and in 1932,
$5,235.76. In all conscience these
market road funds were earmarked
for road bond service and if the road
fund, now on a cash basis because of
these diversions of moneys collected
for bond purposes, repaid the diver
sions there would need be no talk of
default, refinance or even tax. There
would be money in hand and in
prospect to p?.y the bonds without
one cent of tax.
Already this year there has been
expended for general road purposes
more than the budget item and, by
the same token, more than the actual
levy of $4,735.58. At the same time
the road fund owes the bond fund
and the market road fund to be
used for bond purposes around
$12,000.
If default is to be avoided on the
county bonds due in 1934 and if the
tax levy is to be kept down to a
point where the people can pay it
road taxes that come in from now
on should be used for one purpose
only the repayment of funds to be
used for bond debt service.

Farewell Bend and Its People
A Story of the Beginnings of a Village Built on a Site Which
For Long Ages Was the Camping Ground of Nomadic Tribesmen.
Many Oregon Prisoners
Have College Education
Salem, Ore. (IP) Does education
breed criminals?
Probably not, say officials of the
stHtc penitentiary, but nevertheless
more prisoners with college degrees
than wholly illiterate were received
at the prison during the last two
years. Ncp.rly a third of the 987
prisoners had a high school educa
tion or better.
. Figures show 44 college graduates
received at the penitentiary, 263 high
school graduates, 613 with common
school education, and 23 illiterate.
Only 263 of the new prisoners pro
fessed no religious affiliations. Cath
olics number 136, Protestant denom
inations 586, Hebrew 1 and Hindu 1.
Four hundred and nineteen pris
oners were classified by prison of
ficials as intemperate. Moderate
drinkers numbered 201, abstainers
367. - .
Fourly-four prisoners received
during the last two years were women.
In 1882, a little more than half a
century ago. John Sisemore, miner,
stockman and a lover of new fron
tiers, came to the place on the Des
chutes river where John Y. Todd
operated the Farewell Bend ranch.
Sisemore, resident of the Sams val
ley region of southern Oregon, view
ed complacently the expanse of
grassy bottom land, once the feed
ing ground of deer and antelope.
That bit of land, Sisemore believed,
had possibilities. The river meadows
were fertile and sub-irrigated. If
water were required, it could be di
verted from the Deschutes. . .
' The Farewell Bend ranch was not
an imposing layout in those days.
The John Y, Todd headquarters in
the upper Deschutes country, was
only a log cabin, but Sisemore liked
the cove in the Bend of the river and
he was pleased with the magnificent
trees which reached to within a
short distance of the stream. That
meadow bottom just pleased the
Sisemore eye and he opened negoti
ations to buy the ranch. When Todd
ottered to sell his homestead relin
quishment for $1,400, Sisemore ac
cepted the offer. The Farewell Bend
ranch, frequently filed on by Todd's
riders in early days, had a new own
er Jonn Sisemore, a man who was
to play an important part ih the his
tory of Farewell Bend and its peo
ple. Sisemore perfected his govern
ment title and held the place for 22
years. In abstracts of title, the name
of Sisemore is the first on the list,
Dut ieacrai land olhce records m
The Dalles hold the names of the
Todd range riders, such as John T.
Stors and Others, as Dersnnc who
filed on the tract, but relinquished
ineir claims Derore completing title.
In October, 1904, the historic Sise
more place, or the Farewell Bend
ranch, was sold by Sisemore 'to Dr.
w. a. nicnois, who came to Bend in
the fall of 1904 from Oklahoma Th.
sale included 240 acres. About an
acre of the original claim had been
previously sold by Sisemore to T. W.
Triplett and A. P. Bacon. Dr Nich
ols, records indicate, paid $6,000 for
the place.
The Oklahoman did not plan to
use the ranch as headouartrrt inr a
stock business. He announced that
he planned to convert the bottom
land into a fruit farm Timhr
the land was sold to the Pilot Butte
Development comoanv. Work in
verting the meadow area into a fruit
orchard was started at once and 2000
strawberry plants and a lot of apple,
prune and other fruit trees were or
dered. It appeared as if the historic
Farewell Bend ranch, long the head
quarters of cattle riders, was to be
come the first fruit center of the
Deschutes country.
Later, the Sisemore place became
the site of the Farewell Bend hotel,
an institution which competed with
for the patronage of the few travel
ers who moved through the interior
country and of the stockmen who
during summer months grazed cattle
nd sheep in the Cascades. The
Farewell Bend hotel and the Stoats
place were brisk competitors for a
number of years. The competition
finally reached the stage where
Sisemore, at his own expense, con
structed a bridge across the Des
chutes in front of his place and pre
sented that bridge to the county, in
order to pull travel that way.
The bridge was Jbo leet long and
cost Sisemore $385 $1 a foot. Sise
more completed the planking of the
new bridge shortly before Christ
mas, 1S04. sisemore at that time
was Crook county road supervisor in
the Farewell Bend district and he
found that he would be able to col
lect personal poll tax enough nearly
to pay the cost.
Such has been the varied history
of the Farewell Bend ranch first,
headquarters for John Y. Todd and
his cattlemen: later, a stopping place
for travel, and still later an orchard
and now part of the holdings of the
Brooks-Scanlon Lumber Co. in
Bend. Mill "B" of the lumber com
pany was built near the site of the
old Sisemore cabin.
Sisemore died some 10 years ago,
in Jacksonville, on his way south to
a new mining frontier in California.
check will be kept on diminishing
relief lists. Hopkins says he will
soon know just how many American
families and individuals tire receiv
ing relief from week to week and
he will look more carefully intq re
quests for funds.
The problem of making the states
provide a fair share of relief before
receiving lederal lunds lias occn
one of Hopkins' chief worries. Dis
tress relief goes through various
stages of progression relatives.

taxing power for state relief.

year, recent figures show, federul

relief load m more than halt the
states.
Half the $500,000,000 is to be dis

rest is to be granted at discretion.

It is n constantly disregarded law. i
Trucks are driven over Portland

be heard at a distance of eight or

that there is seldom a conviction of
any person violating anti-noise laws.
And the violations are not only by
trucks hut hv motorcycles, automo
