A correspondent who scents to Have some interest in the Deschutes townsttc writes to ask why it is that The I!uu.UTIN continually jspeaks of this locality as Hend rather than Deschutes, which is the name of the nostofticc. This is a very proper inquiry, is apparently in good faith, and it shall have a candid answer. The chief reason for use of the name Bend in designating this town. :ift1ftiipiir. Jonilirv is tlint it has long been known by that name, which means something to Outsiders. Ucnd has always been more than a mere postoffice. Fare Well Bend was even more des criptive, growing out of the expert cncc of rugged pioneers who toiled across the plains to make and enjoy 'Oregon. Farewell Bend for more than a generation had n definite geographical meaning to the peo ple who made Oregon and whose I children are carrying on the work 1 so well begun. Shortened finally , father having been for years a to Bend, to suit the convenience of' prominent citizen of Ynmhill county this hurrying age, the name still and at one time speaker of the low retained geographic and historic 'cr house of the Oregon legislature, significance and it has never lost He was one of Idaho's first United that. It means today what none of the local townsttc names means. It is more comprehensive, more dis tinctive and incomparably better known. The UuLUtrix sticks to its use iu designating this locality because it seems to be the only one that fits. It also avoids confusion of the two Oregon places named Deschutes. As to the townsitc of Tend, or of Deschutes, or of Lytic, The BcLUt tin has no special interest in any and no motive for descriminating against any of them. When there is occasion to use any of the names it is used. But those names arc purely local and restrictive. Bend is not. Undoubtedly there will be incorporations for some of these townsitcs. Establishment of a mu nicipal government will put the matter in quite a different light. we think tt would be better to adopt the historic name for the municipality that it would be to the advantage of the municipality to do so. Others may think differ ent, and they are entitled to their view. We are ready to accept facts as we find them. Bend already has official stand ing. It is Bend precinct, Bend road district etc. The United States commissioner was appointed for Bend. None of these has reference to any local towusite but to the locality as known to geogra phy and history That is the sense in which The Buxlutin uses it. The Oregoniau takes a recent Bend incident as the text for a rather pointed arraignment of up right citizens in genera"! for their failure to support movements for the preservation of law and order. They want the newspapers to pitcli in and show up the pluguglies and offenders of high and low degree but themselves shrink back into the shade or espouse the cause of disorder. This is a lamentable trait of weak human nature. But the Oregoniau does injustice to Bend through the inference that law and order has few supporters here. The law and order element is strong here and the forces of dis order, though noisy, are greatly in the minority. The evidences of this fact that have nunc to The lil'i.MtTtx arc unexpectedly numer ous and gratifying. Hend is all right. President Roosevelt has named John N. Watson, of Paisley, for register and C. U. Snider, of Lake view, for receiver of the l.akeview lund office in place of U. M. Unit tain and Harry Itoilcy, whose terms have expired. These appointments were recommended by the Oregon delegation, except Congressman Hermann, who was greatly indebt ed to llrattain for political supiwrt and wanted to see him retained in office. In fact, it was Hrnttnin's absence without leave to attend the convention that nominated Her mann that started the ball rolling toward the goal it 1ms just reached. Objection was made to the new men but, uixjii investigation, they wurc found to be tptnlified i'liey will Cllter UIXII discharge Ot their duties upon the approval of their bonds, which will probably be a mouth hence. Friends of Max Lueddeutnun have received the announcement of his marriage with Miss Ollic May McConuell, of Moscow, Idaho, the wedding having taken place at the home of the bride's parents, Mr. and Mrs. William J. McCoit- ncll, on the 7th of October. The McConnell's were from Oregon, the States senators, and has taken a prominent part in the affairs of that young state. The daughter is a typical western girl, pretty, intelli gent and accomplished. livery Ixuly in Central Oregon knows Max I.ueddemann. The young couple will reside at Antelope. It well pays one to rise betimes these bright, frosty mornings. It would be hard to imagine n prettier sight when the white frost laces all the foliage and the landscape looks good enough to eat. The birds, too, arc particularly lively in the early morning. Bend is greatly blessed with these feathered friends, which arc at times so noisy that they drown an ordinary conversa tion. Corvallis & Eastern officials deny that preparations are in progress for an extension of that line into Eastern Oregon. This is the Usual thing. Railroad companies do not like to have their actions read, in advance of their own formal an nouncement. It may be that the Corvallis & Eastern is not getting ready to build this way, but it irt an old saying that actions speak louder than wordsi Benedict Arnold may have, died friendless and dispised but his sous seem to have fared well. One be' came a licutenaut-grneral in the British army and another a captaifl, and a grandson became rector of Barrow, England, and owtls the land grant given his traitorous grandfather near Torohto, which is now vefy valuable. Barney Lewis add Creed Triplelt brought to town" last Mohday a story to the effect 'that Jack Kitchiugs, the nheep herder, had been held up and roblx.-d by a drunken Indian a few miles out on the road to Sisters. The story was to the effect that the Indian got a bottle of whiskey and $1.50 from the herder and that afterward he threatened to kill Kitchings but was frightened away by the ap- proacli of some other men ILXAMININfl Ni;V WMMDUAWAl.. - -I (lovernment Agent to Sco l( It will Mnko n proper Porest Reserve. ! II. B. Kent, agent-of the United States Hiuontl of Forestry, Department of ARiiciilture, arrived iu Hend lust evening mid is about to set out on an examination of the recent liftid withdrawal iu Central Oregon for a foreat reserve, tie will go down tlic wisteily side of the withdrawn aren, recouuoitering well over toward the middle, and front Lnkuvicw will crow over to the westerly side and examine that half on his rvturil trip. He ex pects to be back ill Hend some time between Dccctithcr 1 and Christmas. Mr. Kent has a camp odtfit and attendant with him aild will be quite independent of local accom modations is pursuing his work. Professor Kent's home is uenr Syracuse, N. Y., and he has been in the forestry wrvice of the govern ment about four years. Recently he has completed an examination of a large tract west of the Cascades iu Washington, which it is pro jwscd to mid to the Mount Rainier reserve. . This proKsed extension will include Mount St. Helens, which is now outside the reserve. Sciiking of his expcrfaticc oil Mount St. Helens, ProfcsMtr Kent said he had 110 faith iu the stories of recent volcanic explosions there. He was on the mountain on the day when an explosion that sent out a shower of stones in alleged to have occurred. He says it was a cold, wet, disagreeable day, when nobody would be likely to be out on the mountain far from camp; that he was himself only a short distance below the snow line and that he not only neither heard nor telt any signs ol tlie allcgcu ex plosion but he was entirely ..... aware of any earthquake, which was rcjwrtcd at several (mints in the valley. He does not believe Mount St. Helena was the origin of that quake, a,. The examination to lc conducted by Professor Kent will touch the character of the laud with refer ence to its availability for forestry purposes. Desert land will not, of course, figure iu it. Bcnides the field examination, he will visit the land offices and ascertain from the records what part of the laud ban passed out of government control, which fact will le considered iu connection with the character of the laud in making the final decision as to creating a reserve of the with drawn area. When that decision will be made nobody knows, but from the promptness with which this examination is ordered it may be inferred that the reserve will be created or the withdrawal order re scinded in the early part of next year. Ceorge Bates is down from his houtcstead to visit his family. Columbia Southern RAILWAY. I'AtMltNC.I'.H TKAI.N TIMIt CARD.
