FRIDAY JAN. 6, 1905 Wnlk up, walk up, gentlemen, nnd help yourselves to the indict ments. With more thon $ 100,000 iti new buildings in the past year, nnd much less than n yenr of building Activity nt that, and with promi.M of much greutcr activity fcr tin coming year, the Bend localit may be saiiPto be inn king p'rogtess fast enough for anybody. It is now the City ot Bend. Tin officers chosen nt the" election 01 Dec. 19 have until Jan. 10 to takt their respective oaths nnd enter up on discharge of their duties, li will require careful attention am good business judgment to orgnn ire the new town properly, but when organized right its affair ought to proceed with little fric tion. If John Hippie, who abandonee a family in Pittsburg 40 years ago, came to Oregon, added Mitchell to his name nnd went into politics, will pardon our interest in the mat ter wc will suggest that the time is ripe for him to move again, to place where grand juries are un known, nnd take still another name. The report of the statistician o' the department of agriculture is good reading for pessimists. Over 92,000,000 acres of corn worth more than $1,000,000,000; 44,000, 000 acres of wheat worth Ssoo.oop' 000; 40,000,000 acres of hay-vfortl-$529,000,000; 28,ooo,boQacres ol oats worth $290,000,000, ant 3,000,000 ncrcs of potatoes wortl $150, 000,000 ajCsome of the item testifyitiMuc successful industrj .J&WtfTlarmcrs. And there is noth ing wrong with the prosperity that lias such a basis. Port Arthur is in the the Japanese, thus closing g thV fir-t great campaign of the Orienul v ar.

Again n move to organize a new county from parts of Crook Waco ond Sherman is taking form. Tin time it is to be called Jefferson in stead of Stpckraan, because of thi Lewis and Clark year having specio reference to President Jefferson ant also because ML Jeffersop will bein the southwestern corner of the new county. There is less opposition to the move this year than there wa two j ears ago. Wascocounty. it is Said, has entirely withdrawn her opposition and there is no division of sentiment within the proposed new county, a there was before. 0ho main objection now cornea from rrjneville. , T'ln'sft matters of local novern- ineut BUtft te adjusted frorh time ",.,...11.,. r ,i.,trv ' J j tied and .there is demand for closer attention to roads and bridges, tax tttion and other essentials of com munity life. The people naturally want to be in touch with their own local goverment, not to be held off nt arm's length with nothing but the tax gatherer to remind them they nic enjoying the blessings ot liberty. As the country becomes occupied social t editions become complex and the necessity for gov ernmental regulation is greater. At the fame time the ability to bear the burden of'-government increases, and expenses that would crush a few pioneer townships arc- borne easily when the smtne area becomes populous and rich. You can't force the producers to patrouixc an inferior market when a better one is available. You cau"t -orce people who want convenient cjuuectiou with the agencies 01 government to be content with div cant and loot relations, Fieedoni Oi action in these matters must Ik .ranted. The American spirit will .lot stand coercion.

If the people in the territory uvolved want a new county they night to have it. It is folly to try .0 keep the expanse of an empire vitkin each of these inter-mou . tain .-ouutics. UITCM ILL'S irrDlCTMONT. It is all" Very ' fine for Senator Mitchell to "prate about his long mblic service, as if it constituted aj lefense against the charge of land rud, the grand jury has brought gainst him. He is also entitled to I'll! the consolation he can get from .vliining that his indictment is brought about by the testimony ot ,riured villains. Admit, for the wke of argument, that both are true: Does that make the senator guiltless of the charge? That is thereat point, Is he guilty? II he is, his long service at the public crib will not help him, nor will the act that the testimony convicting him is that of the slick rogues with wliom the senator has been pleased to hobnob. The plain truth of the matter is that Senator Mitchell's career in 1 Oregon has pot been such as would bring liim much comfort iti such stress s he is now in. His favorites and doie companions Imyc always been of the class that knows which aide its bread is buttered on'trt the bus.nes at once. aml there ift.no doubt, in the mind ( of any discerning citizen that hn' entire career i itrewn with acts nimiUr to tbote for -which he w tow und-.-r iudwtineiit. Doubtlefic te doet (eel tuat it is unjut to ;niele oumny one act or tenet of i w and uttempt to hold huu to ac Mont under tne tew, w ben lie Im .rca praweJ od bouored for ye-:s the iel reason that he shouk ie plum tree and worked crookta" leeto in nign cbanueU for bis urite. it i humiliating to admit that regou UMflolong siipported such 'preifenution in courck. Hut ere u no evaditiit the truth and U better to recognize' thn toridi- on now than to -on'iinue to escune ud tolerate a line ot conduct that ot only degrade public ihomU nd makes private virtue x joke, Hit work untold Ios6 to the state id nation. The lotv conception of civic duty, vhich regards public oflice as a safe .jiace from which to plunder the general public for the benefit of a ejv unscrupulous henchmen, is retty certain, soon or late, to meet '.riet. Honest error, or even stupid ignorance, bring uo&uch judgments. Senator Mitchell has been a notor ious dispenser of special favors, he is a man of unusual keenness nnd resource, he has "worked his load" or all. there was in it. At this ate day he is at bay. Whether Jte shall finally be legally convicted or not. nublic.sentiment will recoenize I the danger of continuing support to . . - . . uch an uuworthy servant. Congr.njan - Hermann docs not lack in craftiness but vhe does lack the great initiative of Senator Mit- chell in those matters. . It was a ..ct-ib'.ws lhat needed organization to succeed and there could not well he two leaders. So Mitchell has been leader and Hermann his able coadjutor, in Washington as well as in Oregon. And Mays and the rest were no dead-head; in the enterprise. Cohtrol of federal patronage has heretofore served to keep measur ably covered the personal and olli cinl delinquency of these persons in high place. And it may be assert ed with confidence that but for the presence of Theodore Roosevelt at the head of the government this investigation would long ago have been 'Vailed off' and thesoutcesot I mtot tuutiuti diied up by putting the more dangerous persons into sott ocrthsol public .service. Here we ee the virtue of the doctrine "To every umu a square deal, no more and no less." STI3PS for A LOCAL JAIL. City to llulld One-County AJkcil to Supply Steel Cells.
