Cunningham and Associates, Portland. CENTENNIAL IN OREGON CITY One hundred years ago today the act of congress to e'stab' ' lish a territorial government for tne territory of Oregon was approved, rour uays later Josepn Lane wm uppuimu let'' ruorial governor, une 01 Uie must iuiporiant lmiusiunes on tne trail of Oregon nistory nad oeen set up. t rom time to time tms year m many communities, in various ways, recognition ot tne cenienmax has ueen given. J ust as an example, mere was the occasion or tne local water pageant a naie more than a montn ago, JNo less man lour 01 tne illuminated lioats in tnat nignttime river speciacie drew tneir inspiration irom ana caiieu attention to tne nuuureu year anniversary. At Oregon city, a century ago tne capital ot tne vast area in tne united States wnicn lay "west of tne liocky mountains, north of the forty-second degree of Jiorth latitude", to quote from the territorial act, the centennial is being celebrated. There is, of course, no place in the state where observance might be more fittingly made. The program is one which would have delighted the pioneers, as it most assuredly is pleasing the celebration crowds today. There are parades, balloon ascensions, with the inevitable parachute drops, races, Indian dances, spectacles in which every effort is made to recapture the spirit of the days of long ago. We wish we could see at least a part of that, celebration, which has been going on since Thursday and which will continue through tomorrow. It must be on a grand scale, according to the pub lished announcement of the events. One of these, it is to be observed, is a tug-of-war, not an ordinary pulling contest between two teams of men, but a tug-of-war between tug boats. ' ..!... , An outstanding recognition of the date and of the signifi cance of the year 1948 in Oregon history is the splendid edi tion of the Oregon City Enterprise, featuring reproduction of early day photographs as well at) latter day scenes, articles reviewing the events of a century ago and those of the years preceding which reached their climax in congressional pas sage of the bill creating the territory and the signing of the measure by President James K. Polk. One of these articles, it is of local interest to note, is under the name of Ralph C. Curtis, a reporter for The Bend Bulletin in the twenties, now assistant publisher of the Enterprise. . i An illustration which especially catches our eye is that of the monument to Oregon's first newspaper, The Spectator. It, also, was published in Oregon City. All who have been so fortunate as to obtain copies of the Enterprise of August 12 will treasure them, we are sure, and will refer to them from time to time. They will rend, not once but many times the facsimile reproduction of the 14 script pages of the act of congress and the one page territorial proclamation by Governor Lnne. The pictures and the care fully prepared historical matter' dealing with the Oregon of a century ago will be of unfailing interest. . WHY FISHING IS NO BETTER ' Here we gi.ve you one of the answers to yesterday's ques tions about why fishing in the streams of Oregon is no better. The picture was taken about 20 years ago on a well known Oregon stream. KW, h' Ax, - k Summary of Conclusions and itecoinmendatioiui 1. Bond has an excellent and well considered source of water supply In Tumalo creek. Addition al water rights are needed, and other sources are to be considered only In case an enlargement ol present rights prove impossible, 2. Present use Is up to the limi tations of water rights and pipe line capacity. The alternatives are to bring in more water or to con serve and extend the present sup ply by sucft means as are avail able. 3. The most obvious and the cheapest way to conserve the sup ply is by completely metering all services. This statement is sup ported by the experience of many cities. 4. The capacity of the present pipe line may be increased, and the supply supplemented during periods of heavy use by construct ing a new reservoir of substan tial size, and an elevation lower than the present tanks. A main storage of 5,000,000 gallons on Awbrey Butte is proposed. 5. To fully utilize such a reser voir, it should be connected direct ly to the supply pipe line, and should have an outlet main ot substantial size, feeding at sev eral points into the distribution system. b. in the present system, a sur stantial head is destroyed at pres sure reducing valves, and for the high level zone in the Southeast section this head is restored by pumping at Third Street. A cross- town mgn pressure main is pro posed to improve service and re duce if not enUrely eliminate pumping costs. 7. As a part of the ultimate sys tern, Bend should have a storage reservoir on the North slope of Pilot Butte and additional storage for the high level zone In the Southeast area. These improve ments may be deferred until the other proposed construction has been completed, the results ob served, and the growth of popula tion realized. 6. A continuing program of min or distribution system extensions and improvements must be car ried forward. Some of this work is relatively urgent. 7. Finances of the Bend Water Department are In good shape, and satisfactory earnings are shown. No rate study has been made, and no rate changes are suggested. Income is sufficient to support the issuance of up to $522,000 in bonds and in addition a cash surplus of about $50,000 an nually for current additions and betterments. 8. It is recommended that an initial program of improvements be authorized, at an estimated total cost of $580,000 to be financ ed in part from the present fund set aside for replacements and betterments, and In part from a bond issue of $300,000. ' (The End) Washington Column t 1 . " X A .MS. Jl -Na- 8iC1eirt:taJV . jr. .vaV.V - It's not a proper subject for levity but a recent incident inevitably recalls a musical comedy of long ago in which Elsie Junis had a leading role. The action included an elopement with the heroine leaving her second story room to join nor beloved on the ground below and when she hesitated ho urged, "Jump, jump." Just then the comedian of the piece appeared and, overhearing the words, raised his hand and commanded "Stop. Never make a dive out of a decent house." Brooks-Scanlon Quality Pine Lumber Brooks-Scanlon Inc. I Willi By Peter Edson (NBA Washington Correeiiondent) Washington (NEA) Commu nist spy ring disclosures in con gress make swell hot-weather reading. And they are lifesavers to the GOP. The democrats have had tne re publicans on the spot with their challenge of "Why don't you do something about housing and the high cost of living?" Now the re publicans can answer with, "Look at all the commies who were in government while you were run ning things." wmie tne retort may men something as logic, it does serve to, change the subject. I he Idea is to make you forget an em barrassing question by concen trating your attention on an en tirely different set of troubles. - From the standpoint of straight logic, the republican case against doing anything about inflation leaves something to be desired. There is too much tendency to talk about causes, rather than cures. Principal arguments ad vanced by GOP congressmen are these three: 1. Primary cause of Inflation is the large volume of exports and Marshall Plan aid shipping out of this country goods which, if left at home, would increase domestic Supplies and so cut prices. ,' 2. A secondary factor Is too high government spending, which increases the supply of money in circulation and so drives prices up. 3. Democratic administration fiscal policies are inflationary. sheds a little light on all three of these republican points. 1. The total volume of foreign aid for the' year ending June 30, 1949, is $7,000,000,000. This rep resents less than three per cent of America s gross national pro duct of goods and services. About half of this first year's foreign aid consists of goods to be procured outside the United States. This "offshore procure ment" constitutes the bulk of commodities in tight supply in the U. S. These facts should put the in flationary impact of the foreign aid program in proper perspec tive. 2. Biggest Item of government spending is for national defense. Last January, budget estimates for the armed services were put at $10,900,000,000. The last con gress, with republican majorities mind you, jumped this figure by $3,500,000,000 to $14,400,000,000. The president's economic re port admits that, over the next three years, this stepping up of government stockpiling and pro curement programs for the arm ed Bervices particularly the air force will put greater strains on short supplies if raw materials. About a fourth of present U. S. steel production, for instance, is now under voluntary allocation controls for national defense, atomic energy development, freight cars, barges, oil and gas industry supplies. Other steel users are having to fight harder tor supplies not under allocation. This tends to drive prices upward. piled up an $8,000,000,000 surplus. The republican tax cut bill, ac cording to present estimates, will cut government revenues by nearly $5,000,000,000 In the fiscal year ending next July 1. Increas ed defense expenditures, author ized by the last congress, plus the tax cut, may therefore put the treasury back In the red. This would mean nothing would be pair on the national debt. In stead, it would get bigger. In spite of all the logic that can thus be put behind the president's anti-inflationary program, it must be admitted that the pro gram Isn't going over. The con gress wotjld rather Investigate spy scares than do anything about cutting the cost of living. Bend's Yesterdays (From The Bulletin Files) . Fifteen Years Ago (Aug. 14, 1933) The four-room house of R. W. Raco, 116 Staats, was destroyed by fire which started in a 'saw dust pile in the bakyard. Lamb on the hoof, hot pork and beans, and cold milk were the preferences of bears boarding with sheep herders and at C.C.C. camps In the Paulina lake dis trict. Bears had been caught stealing food from the camps.

On the matter of govern ment fiscal policies, republican spokesmen in congress have made quite a point about how the GOP has been responsible for bal ancing the budget for the first time In years, and that this has had an anti-inflationary effect.
