WHY "BUND"?
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

(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.
