FRIDAY OCT. 9. 1903 "As long as friendship is held above the law, lawlessness will thrive," observes the Silver Lake Bulletin; mid it is a truth that none will gainsay. Second crop berries and things are getting into the newspapers in the usual autumnal abundance. It will be noticed, however, tlmt Bend .supplies none of these chestnuts. No, indeed! That Central Oregon is an un reasonably healthy country is at tested by the fact that there is not business enough to support a doc tor or a drugstore in all the vast expanse between Priueville and Lakeview. Clackamas county steps up anil doubles the total of its taxable property this year, and yet it issHfe to say no man in the county would sell for the assessor's figures. The whole state will show an increase of about $25,000,000, one-fifth of which belongs to Cluckamas. "A good deal of noise has been made over appointments for the I.akcview laud office but the old officials are still doing business at the old stand. It seems to be easier to find fault with present methods than to obtain a cure, which is a truth of very general application. The meloncholy days have come, but they arc by no means the sad dest of. the year in the metropolis of the Upper Deschutes. They are altogether mellow and delightful, with enough cri.ipness in the morn ing and evening atmosphere toJ brace any set of nerves. And then have you noticed our gorgeous moon the past week? Those sunny days and moony nights leave noth ing to be desired in their line. The high price of fued tends to bring down the price of stock in the cattle ccuutry and there is n very marked movement toward market this fall. If there should be a hard winter it is likely that the Hveatodc losses in Kastern Oregon would be large. The loss of 7000 tons of hay on the Chewaucnu marsh is not the least of the influences that affect livestock prices in Central Oregon this season. The great law of supply and de mand will govern the timber laud and lumber business. The market value of laud today is what can be obtained for it today. Unquestion ably the value of timber laud will rise, probably quite rapidly. Its intrinsic value is constantly increas ing and the question of title is be coming lass and less as time Nuaes to those who have had their proof accepted. Others are in no condition to sell. Those who can hold their laud will profit from it. Those who cannot afford to hold their claims for an advance must suffer the loss that comes from such conditions. This is one of the dis advantages of poverty. Much as it is to 'be hoped that claim holders will get good prices for their prop erty, the hard fact cannot be dis guised that if they sell at all they must sell for the price prevailing at the time of sale. No pool or com bination cau break the force of this ulw Of course, the tmm who is a natural trader wilUlo U'ttcr tluin the iiuui who is not, but this is te- lnmllcss of nnv attempt to make or jcoutr() tj,e uuukut. Other things being equal, a man can make his own arrangements for handling his jf claim bettor thnu others can, One who nsccwds the Deschutes vnllev only to the vicinity ot Hcud, ' mioses the most charming; part of it. I Hcgiuniug u doncti miles above jHend is a. series of natural meadows, level and green and bordered with evet green forest. The river winds its labyriuthian way through tlcvs fields and at this season of the year gives no hint of Hooding them. Cattle gruxe on the meadows and the river swarms with ducks. Whatever irrigation may do for the neighborhood of Hcud, the up-river meadows are now most attractive to hoiucseekers and it would be difficult to find n more leautiful section anywhere. The onlvi cause for regret is that the acreage is too small to satisfy nil comers. And what has not Ixreu taken it locked up in the withdrawal. The enterprise of the Columbia Southern Irrigation Campuuy is in every way commendable, so far as can be judged from surface indica tions. The comjHiuy has shown its faith in the future and its own good iaith of the present time by going ahead with irrigation improvements before its formal contracts are fully approved. ' It can afford to take the risk. Through a numlier of local people who are interested in its enterprise it commands a favor ably local public sentiment and any thing can be done where everybody is agreed. It is. perhap., to be re gretted that there is not a larger local representation in other re clamation enterprises of the Des chutes valley sufficient to make public sentiment favorable. Great results come from united, harmoni ous effort. This country nottds just such efforts. It is all right to protect, preserve and defend the timber supply of this country. But the strict con struction that would deprive a hum ble applicant of his claim on the ground that he docs not expect personally to use the timber upon it, but may sell it at some futute time, does not exactly save the for est to the government or the gener al public. It operate merely to save the timber from the scrippers, who, surely, are not more entitled to it than the average individual claimant. This is the flaw in the new tiiubermiid policy if certain tendencies in the laud office may be said to have crystalled into u poli cy. Scrip has been made the in strument of the most gigantic and indefensible public laud rape this country has ever known and the people have no patience with any practice that shall give the scrip pers further advantage, over the humble citizen churning by right of his citicu&hip and the laws. Or. Cdwunls Aleves. Dr. Charles S.Ildwnrds, who was in Bend nearly five mouths, has moved to Priueville and" entered in to partnership with Dr. II. I'. Bel knap. About the time Dr. IJd wardb hud made arrangements for building a drug store here and branching out in the drug and medical business, the opportunity in Priueville opened up and, uixm examination, it proved so attractive that the doctor finally accepted it. lie thus enters at once into an ex tensive practice in a growing com munity.

"Dnd" West went out to Paulina prairie last Saturday after K-ef cattle for his market, returning Sunday afternoon. He bought five head of vouux beeves. He en countered n severe storm which, after whitening the prairie with snow, turned to rain and loft the rouds be puddled away down this side of the Allen place. Thutc the water gnve way to dust, but lxiforu Mr. West reached Bend, the rain begun wetting down the dust here and by Monday morning the soil wus pretty well drenched.
