WINCHESTER REPEATINQ ARMS CO., New HAVEN, CONN, FAYOR A Hiqn SCHOOL Citizens Desire Growth of Educational Facilitjes. WILL ADVERTISE TIJE TOWN While there Is Some Opposition to tho Board's Plans, It Is Believed They Will Be Adopted by DIstrVt. The prospects for establishing n high school in Bend are rnost prom ising. All indications now point to u majority in its favor at the elec tion next Tuesday. A partial can vass of the voters of the district has been made by The bulletin, and as me citizens learn tuc plans as pro posed by the school board they arc heartily In favor of the step. When a voter is told that a high school must be established if the district is to teach ninth and tenth grade studies, that no additional teachers arc to be hired, no new rooms opened, no extra expense incurred when he understands conditions ns they really exist, he invariably favors the high school. Discussion on the street has brought forth the fan that a mistaken notion is held by some in that they think the es tablishing of this high school will place a large additional expense on the district. When, however, the real plans are explained and it is shown that there will be no added burden to the taxpayer, there is very little opposition to the present movement. The Bulletin found only a very few who arc opposed to the high school. The views of a few of the voters of the district follow: Dr. C. W. Merrill I am always heartily in favor of any movement that will help the town and country. Hence I certainly favor the estab lishment of a high school at Bend. S. C. Caldwell I favor the high school most emphatically. Kill the schools of a town and you kill the town. Those places having the best educational advantages are the ones that grow and push ahead. Their growth is largely caused by tuetr good schools. Charles Boyd There can be nothing done that in any way im proves school facilities that does not help greatly in the development of the country, t favor the establish ment of a high school here. H. P J. McDonald I think it a wise plan and a good thing for the town. It is foolish to send Bend scholars nway to school when we can have the school right here at home. A. II. Grant A high school will draw people here from outlying dis tricts, mid as present plans contem plate no additional expense to the district, why should it not be estab lished? I certainly am in favor of a high school at Bend. J. Prank Stroud I am always in favor ol building up the public school system. It is one of the very lest advertisements a town can have and helps largely in any town's growth. Dr. W. L. Nichol The man with n child who does not vote for n high school is not voting for the child's best interests. Neither is that property owner who Votes against the high school voting for his best interests. J. I. West It is one of the best things the town can do if it only knew it. IJ. A. Sather I am in favor of a high school at Bend. It will bring people to town to live and is a good thing. 1?. J5. Batten I am in favor of a high school if the plans do not call for an increased rate of taxation, and I understand they do not. The more families and children the schools bring into town the better it will be for Bend. A. I Goodwillie I favor a high school nt Bend for many reasons. Kvery week I receive close to 50 letters of inquiry regarding Bend, 'lM.h ... ...!.-.. llw1 In ... . a ik uai )iicawuii iuahi u ua iu possible railroad construction, and with at least 45 of the 50 the second question is concerning school facil ities and churches. This move for u high schooV calls for1 no larger tax levy, no additional teachers aud no new rooms m fact, 110 extra ex pense whatever. A high school will draw scholars to Bend from outlying district. I know of at least two at Laidlaw and two at Powell JJuttcs who will come here next year if wc have a high bchool. NEW, ROAD INTO BliND. Hawthorn 1 n Avenue Bclrjg Extended l"l VI U)V. A ntew road is being ppcnpd iuto Bend. Hawthqrn avenue is being cxtcndccrotit to F. J, flattcn's land. 1 here the road turns north, running a'dross I,, d. Wicst's cast forty, pa&cs Mr. W. J. Barnes' land and rumiing wpjt of the ex periment farm joins the Prineyillp road. From the point where Haw thorn dvenue reaches the Batten pinch, anojherroad will be opened tn a southern aud eastern direction to join lie Bear Creek road. These new hignways arc being opened on section lines whenever the typo graphy o" the ground permits it, and are expected to be approved by the county commissioners. MANY FJUIT TREES PLANTED Settlers nre Buying from the Nurser ies In Large Quantities. Mauy orchards will be planted in Bend and vicinity this spring, flwjght Roberts, representing a large Salem nursery, has been spending the week here aud reports very favorable business. He has received orders of greater or less magnitude from a large number ol the setters, and every one seems anxious, to s.ct out some fruit and sec just whflt this country can do growing it'. In mauy localities hereabouts orchards are bringing money into their owners pockets each year. The numerous orders taken by Mr. Roberts show that the settlers have unbounded faith in this region also as a fruit pro ducer. Charles Reed, of the Johnston ranch, placed one of the largest orders. It included 517 trees be sides a large number berry bushes. These he will plant on his home stead. Cal Eaton also will Dlant a large number of trees on the Bald win ranch. An Explanation. Bkxd, Feb. 20, 1906. Editor Bulletin Dear Sir: If I mistake not it is pretty generally known throughout Crook county that my father, Jacob Stroud, is seeking the nomination for sheriff, on the democratic ticket, at the coming primaries, to. be held April 20th of mis year. The rumor is afloat, and beiuu circulated by sowic of my frien dst? ) that should he receive the nomi nation and be elected at the com ing election, I, and not he, would be the acting sheriff. In other words that I am very anxious to fill this office my self, but am afraid that I could not be elected, so use his name in order to gain the office. For the benefit of those who I can not see personally and explain the matter to, I wish to say, that I consider him qualified without my help to fill this office, aud should he be fortunate enough to be elected, I shall have absolutely no thing what ever to do with the conducting of the office or its duties, and furthermore that when I desire to fill any office in this or any other county, within the gift of tlie people, I shall have the nerve, I trust, to ask for it in my own name, ami not in the name of my father or that of any one else. Respectfully yours, J. Frank Stroud. BUILD IN THE SPPG Corrallls & Eastern Rumor Galng Strength. THE VICE-PRESIDENT TAI.K Loldlaw Man Writes to LonjpTlmo. Railroad Friend and (lets Oood Neys of njj Extension. " ' Information rgtch.ed Bc"rt tfs week from rcliablf. sources that the Corvallis &. Eastern railway will un doubtedly commence an excntjion across Oregon cas and wes. Ru mors to this effect have been, float ing about all winter, but the infor mation now on hand practically robs these forpicr statements ol all doubt as to their truthfulness. "Uncle" Frank Nichols of Itid law is a long-time persoual friend of the vice-president of the Corvallis & Eastern. Recently he wrote a letter to his railroad friend asking for in formation as to the' company's in tention concerning railroad cxtcn siotiucross Oregon. .Ir. Nichols, received a letter in reply in which his friend said: "I hope V? be aide to make a visit to you before very long on a railroad." In answer to inquiries the letter also said that the Corvallis & Eastern had not been purchased by Harriraan. and that the road was not for sale. He also stated that all financial arrange ments, necessary for the extension, of the road, were completed. A large number of Bend people, have been pinning their faith to the Corvallis & Eastern. They reulizc that an extension of this road across the state, connecting with some transcontinental line, would give Bend and Central Qregon direct communication with the East, giv ing an outlet for Oregon 'umber to the rich Eastern market. Further more, the products of this vast in land empire could be shipped over the mountains to Yaquina Bay and there landed on ships for the ocean commerce. An cast and west road is what the people of this region are. hoping for, and many are watching with great interest any move the Corvallis S: Eastern makes. The Farmers Institute. John H. OvertUrf aud L. D. Wiest have been assigned subjects for discussion at the farmers' insti tute at Redmond Saturday, March 3. Mr. Overturf will discuss, "Proper Seed for the Harvest" and Mr. Wiest "Planting Fruit on the Deschutes." Mrs. Estelle Ellis will give a reading, "In the Catacombs" and T. W. Zitnmermanu will favor the gathering with a vocal solo. This institute is being arranged on the same plan as the one recently held at I,aidlaw. People are asked to bring well filled dinner baskets. Coffee will be furnished by the com mittee at Redmond. Political Meeting: at Redmond. A meeting will be held at Red motul next Saturday at which dele gates elected from various Western Crook precincts will be present. This meeting fs a step further in the plan whereby Western Crook will take sonic concerted action to' obtain representation in the transaction of the county's busi ness. These delegates are expect ed to perfect the plan. A Christian Railroad. The Co-operative Christian Asso ciation is again attracting attention with its plan to build a railroad from the Williamette valley to Ont tario. An expenditure of $50,000. 000 is expected to be made by this, organization in the development of portions of Eastern Oregon, $15, 000,000 of which will be used in the construction of this road. Dr. Wallace, the promoter of this enterprise, says there is an! abundance of capital in the East which can be easily obtained for this work. The route of the road has not yet been announced, but it is expected to be in operation with in two years. This federation plans to build cit ies throughout the state where some of the difficult questions of labor and capital are expected to be solved. In these cities all creeds may be represented but every in habitant must have accepted tho ethics of Christianity. Smoking will be prohibited on the streets and no saloons are to be tolerated. The regular scale will be paid for labor and if profits are realized by the city the workmen are to be given a share, while the bonding company is to receive 5 per cent interest and one-fourth of the profits.
