i i ;. FRIDAY. DECEMBER 10, 1948 THE BEND BULLETIN, BEND, OREGON PAGE THREE Crook County Stockman to Tour Southwest Region Prineville, Dec. 10 H. II. Schmitt, who the past several years has won statewide recog nition for the interest he has gained from livestock Interests of the southwest In the advantages of a Central Oregon location for successful livestock production, sales of such properties In this area have been marked, left to day for his former business haunts In southern California, Arizona, New Mexico, Texas and Mexico. He reported that he and his wife will travel the area by car and will motor as far south as Mexico City. Schmitt will make his tour, not otily as an ambas sador of Central Oregon, but will carry to the southwest the story of industrial- as well as agricul tural potentialities of all Oregon and the Pacific northwest, he said. "Before I was finally lured to the Prineville district on a perm anent basis in 1937," said Schmitt, "I operated In the livestock busi ness in all the areas which Mrs. Schmitt and I will visit. While all of them may have their pecu liar advantages, there is some thing I am going to tell my old friends on this trip that never in the history of the livestock business In Central Oregon has it !een necessary to move our herds outside our state because of lack of feed or because of a drouth or lack of water. Right now, I think a statement of those facts is going to make an impression on southern Californians and res idents of Arizona." Schmllt, before he left for his motor tour, which he expects will keep him away from Prineville until February 1, wrote the local chamber of commerce, declaring: "With the thousands of acres of undeveloped land we have in our area and also available water, when conserved by proper meth ods of reclamation, our agricul ture, together .with our livestick business, can be made to equal the lumber business and then some. "Starting at the crest of the mountains and going from Grizz ly mountain around to Snow mountain and Bear Creek buttes and back to Prineville makes a distance of about 250 miles. If one were to throw a cork in every lit tie stream at its source in this vast area, all of them would even tually wind up at Prineville. ; i "I am sure that If every acre that is on these tributary streams of the Crooked riVer were fully developed, we would have a pro duction that would feed a lot of people. I think, with the high quality of feed we raise here, that some day this is going to be one of the best dairy sections in this western country. Ever since I have been here, about 85 per cent of our hay has been shipped to the Willamette valley and Tilla mook country to the dairymen. I feel sure that as soon as the road is finished to Government camp we will have no trouble in interesting many large dairymen in this section of the country. The milk taken from cows here in the evening could be available for breakfast tables in Portland the next day." Schmitt is a leading Prineville exponent of the proposed Crooked river reclamation and flood con trol project. He informed the chamber that it is his belief that the project should be pushed vig orously at the coming session of congress. He declared that he believes "we ought to get togeth er and do-as Senators Guy Cordon and Wayne Morse and Congress man Lowell Stockman have sug gested and be ready to send an in formed delegation to a congres sional hearing and present a tell ing influence toward getting res ervoirs and dams on the water shed." Schmitt said he is going to sell waters of the Columbia basin to the residents, especially the live stock interests of the arid sec tions of the southwest. "But I am going to tell them lliere that they must spend their money in an investment in this great water supply, not in Califor nia, where California dreamers, aided and abetted by fantastic fa vorable statements of Michael Strauss, current commissioner of the bureau of reclamation and rep resentatives of other federal agencies, but in the purchase of lands of Oregon where the water will be applied in creating a tre mendous increase In agricultural production." SEEING THINGS IN TEXAS GRANBURY, Tex. LP Four fishermen thought they were see ing things when one of them hooked a five-foot one-inch catch. And they were, too. It was an alligator. DENTISTRY Dr. H. E. Jackson At his residential office NO PARKING PROBLEM 230 Lava Road Phone 134 French Poodles Like Bend's Blustery. December Weather '.v-f.t? Pretty well Americanized are the two German-barn French poodles shown above with their master and mistress, Mr. and Mrs. Glenn E. Dickerson of Bend. Pete and Susie (Pete's the black one) are, as a matter of fact, pretty well Bendized for this season, at least. 'They love the snow," Mrs. Dickerson reports. The brace of pedigreed poodles seems almost as much at home in Central Oregon as does native States to Divide Liquor Case Costs Olympia, Wash., Dec. 10 iU'i The Oregon liquor control Com mission and the Washington li quor control board had agreed to day to split the costs of their wartime purchase of two distil lery companies on a 57-43 per cent basis. Washington will pay 57 per cent of lawyers' and accounting costs while Oregon will pay 43 per cent. The rate is the same as that by which the two states shared in liquor from the two firms. The states decided to pay Har old Shefelman, Seattle tax attor ney, $25,000 for his services. But no decision was reached on the fee to be paid Wilber Henderson, former Oregon commission attor ney who was a trustee in the li quidation. The Oregon commission will meet in' Portland next Thursday and ask Henderson to explain why he should get the $15,000 fee he asks. Commissioners indicat ed they felt the salary and pet diem fees he received at the time should be deducted from the li quidation fee. Marvin atrobte, wasnington commissioner, credited Hender son with saving both states a large amount of money. He said it was Hendersons insistence ot "no compromise" in a tax case against the two states that re sulted in neither state being tax ed by the government. Federal internal revenue sought to tax the states $4,400,000. The states appealed with Shefelman and Henderson doing the legal work, and the states won.

CAMERA DEPARTMENT Symons Bros., Jewelers ' tit I ' 4 - 1 fljT ' Glenn, and a whole lot more sure that they like It than does their attractive blonde mistress, who has lived In Berlin all but the past two months of her 21 years. Mrs. Dickerson, Ruth, was not quite sure of what she wanted to say when asked how she liked it here. It seemed that she did not want to commit herself on first impression. Glenn and Ruth met in Berlin while Glenn was stationed there with the army.They were mar ried last September shortly be fore returning to this country. 1 The dogs are now 19 months old and full grown. Some roman ticists have suggested that under the circumstances, and since the dogs are at least Teutonic in en vironment if not in blood, they should be called Tristan and Is olde. But they are Just plain Pete and Susie, and as such reported ly get along fine with their new ly acquired Oregon friends, none of which would probably stand for such fancy "f urrin" names. The dogs, being by breed es sentially showdogs, exhibit ange lic patience while they undergo frequent ' grooming under' the stern eye and speedy comb of Ruth. The dogs are almost canine versions of sheep, so woolly and thick are their coats. Some who have seen them on the streets, the fond owners say, appear to be not very sure just what they were. Just before Pete and Susie posed for the above portrait, Ruth had taken the comb to them, and when she finished there was a pile of black and while hair that would have lined the nest of a large sized eagle. But they don't shed, the Dicker sons say. One thing that Is unique about the French poodle breed, accord ing to Glenn and Ruth, is that when the female has a litter of pups she loses her hair. Susie, who had a fling at maternity in Berlin, is now in the process of getting hers back. Although this has not visibly affected her peace of mind, Glenn said that her dig nity was sorely offended last week. It seems that she had a little trouble with a bottle of bluing during the weekly bath. It left her with unusual azure tints to a generally pure white coat. The pups? They stayed behind the blockade. They were black and white, not just black and just white, Glenn said. Although the Dickersons' plans for the immediate future are rather indefinite, they feel sure that the dogs will be at home almost anywhere. Pete and Susie are at least bilingual by this ! time, anyway. I Stovcr-LcQlanc INC. fcUn.
