Jr uo (IUT(rllitV III mt IIHV.) FRIDAY MAY 13, 190 Assessors who will be elected next June will hold office for four years, in accordance with nu act passed at the regular session of the legislature iu 1903. Heretofore the term of office of comity assessor has been only two years. The mail schedule is again set 'tkd'and the time of arrival and departure at Bend is ns follows: Leaves for Princville at 6:30 a. m; arrives from Princville at 7 p. m. every day but Sunday; leaves for Silver Lake at 7 p. in. on Monday, Wednesday and Friday, returning at 6 a. m. on Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday. If you want to vote at the coin - ing June election or at the presi dential election iu November, get out and register now. If you fail to register by May 15, you cannot vote except upon being vouched for by six freeholders and it will be a very difficult matter, perhaps wholly impracticable, to get so "many freeholders together in Bend .precinct on election day. There is considerable complaint 'with the stage service out of Shaniko. The accomodations arc not sufficcnt to carry the passengers "who want to come this way and 'the stock is in too poor condition 'to make the trip in good time. The Deschutes Improvment Com pay has filed a protest with the stage company and unless the ser vice shall be improved will put on a stage line of its own direct be tween Shaniko and Bend. Hon. T. H. McGreer has been recommended by the Oregon con gressional delegation for apjoint 'ment as supervisor of the north 'ern division of the Cascade forest reservei to succeed M. P. Isenberg. His appointment will doubtless fol low immediately. Mr. McGreer, who has been prominent iu the stock industry in this section for many years, is qualified in every way for the position and his ap pointment will meet with general approval. AntelopeHerald. C. A. Gilchrist, republican candi date for county clerk came out from Princville Saturday and remained till Monday, when he drove over to Sisters. Mrs. Gilchrist accoropan ed him.

The cowing week the Improvment company will have an office on the first floor of the D. I. & P. Co's building. SHOULD BUILD BRIDGES. Sentiments of W. A. Dell Rctntivo to the Crossing nt Forest's. Mr. and Mrs. W. A. Bell are out from Princville for their health. Three days of the delightful climate of the Deschutes has nearly cured thciti of the grip and Mr. Bell be came sufficiently invigorated to look after some of his political fences, which, however, he finds iu excellent condition. Mr. Bell is the republican nomi nee for county judge and his slogan is "Good roads and bridges, mod erate taxes and an economical ad ministration of county affairs." This has n good sound but Mr. Hell goes into particulars and shows that it is more than mere sound. "You people of the western part of the county ought to have a better outlet to the railroad and I believe the cqmity ought to provide it," said he. "Crook county ought to bridge the Crooked river nt For est's, and it ought to build bridges across Willow and Trout creeks. Then you would have a short and practicable route to the railroad at all seasons of the year. "Those bridges should be built from the county road fund, too. There is plenty of money on hand. The last statement showed over 5 r j.ooo in the county road fund, and yet the people of this part of the county, who need a bridge at Forest's, are asked to go into their pocket and pay for it, after having put up the money once iu the form of taxes. What's the use of ac cumulating money iu the road fund if no use is to be made of it? "Our taxes are much higher than they ought to be, niul money is constantly accumulating iu the county treasury. Tins is all wrong. ln.A a.1rt.t.f Iia .1 1 l.!..!....- ttlft.l Ic necessary to pay the reasonable ex penses of government. It is not a sound policy to pile up funds in the public treasury, particularly when the people arc asked to go into their own private pockets to pay for ncc- cssary public improvements. "Our tax levy this year suould not have been more than 18 mills on the dollar, whereas ft is more than 23 mills. This means more pil ing up of money iu the county treas ury and more temptation to unwise use of funds thus held." Mr. Bell was out in the Agency Plains region laht week and got a ducking through a jxor bridge, so he speaks with real feeling on the subject of roads and bridges. OREGON'S RESOURCES. W. D. Wheelwright, in a tecent address to the Portland Chamber of Cbmmcrce oh the "Future of Oregon's Resources," said: " It is simply impossible to over estimate the value of Oregon tim ber, if only proper steps be taken to preserve it, especially when it is considered that a good deal 6f the product of the adjacent states finds its outlet by means of Port land and the Columbia, the quan tity tributary to this river being greater than the aggregate 6f the timber in the Puget Sound country and iu British Columbia. It is to be noted that while the energies of the citizens of the state and of the railroads are devoted 6 the fos tering of its agricultural resiUrccs, the same energy is being devoted to the destruction of its forests, while very little is being done even to-put the laud iu condition for cultivation, after the removal of lti; liinber, arid nothing at all toward. the renewal ot Me, forests themselves. If it be tnie that the mM wn6 makes ,tw'6 blades of "I ' " 1 ,' , I. .'MIC I grass grow where but one grew before is a benefactor of the race, it is equally true that the man who destroys a tree, ,which the great processes of nature ' have for W.

"European countries have for many years enjoyed the benefit of laws, under which the forests nre constantly renewed and never decimated, so that each succeed ing year shows just as many standing and growing trees as did any year before an actually in exhaustible source of wealth for its inhabitants. That forests are not inexhaustible, unless renewed, is shown by he expcricuc'c of the middle west, and it is begin ning to be demonstrated in Ore gon, and while there the cleared laud is sjxredily turned into pro ductive farms and the sites of growing cities, here in Oregon, alas! the noble forest, becomes a wilderness where only stumps of trees, a useless Undergrowth and ghastly memorials of .shrivelling fire proclaim the vandalism and the neglect of its citizens. It is a well known fact that good timber land has been sold in this atatc during the last two years at fCo and $70 an acre (as against $to to $ 25 for good wheat laud), and yet nothing is done to make one tree gro(w where one grew before, and the slow forces of nature arc left to perform the imiwssible task 6f keeping pace with the destructiveness of unintelligent mankind."
