HOPE AND WORK.
Whiloi discussing railroad pros
-ipccis lor this section, with a visitor
o Send, ft Bend man iitccntly stat-
Vcd that everyone here is enlhtfskn-
ticallv 4iopiut:' a railroad f would
reach us in the near future .The
Visitor replied that hops' belonged
-ito the ccclcsix!tics and that Bend.
ipcppJe should get to work and by
"vigorous and' feell directed efforts'
induce capital to build a road into!
this section.
w To a certain extent this gcntle
Sanra's remarks contain wisdom.
hesd people should do aud are do
J?SliKnipch to induce men to invest
1 their- fcagJtJrl in the lonj; desired
railroad:- There is a goodly amount
of this work'tbat is going on pntler
the surface and' of which the gener-
al public is nob cognizant. It can'
- also be said it 13 very probable, in
deed, tha this-labor will bear frliit.
Indications now .have that appear
ance. Others ore speaking a good
word-for the country whenever they
nave ah opportunity to do so and
' are thus aiding to place its good
points aud wealth and traffic pos-
sibilities before the man with cap!
' tal. Still others are moving here,
arc" clearing up ranches and putting
"thcnl tinder cultivation, thus help
ing to develop the country and
create more traffic for the railroads
.when they do come. We all have
a part to do and are striving to
do it.
1 We still have hope. And it is a
mighty good thing that we do pos
sess that encourager. Of course,
people should not be satisfied with
hope alone and put forth no efforts
for more substantial results, but
- hope is a very necessary quality. If
' the pioneers who settltd this coun
try and it thoae of us who came
Vilonir later to assist in its develop
gne':h did not possess hope that the
-suturc would bring- development,
iow much development would there
Vbe here now, let us ask? Men do
tu'otvfolIow a lippdess cituse. We
' aiiglir have unlimited faith, in the
"'cy'Suffy and we have but we
never would exert our efforts here
if we did not hope for railroad
'. transportation. So let us not dis
parage the spirit of hope that pos
peases us. On tue contrary eucpur
igHt. The only danger to guard
ajraihstis not to allow hone to
usurp th? place of more fruitful
effort. '
Apropus of the railroad question
It might be well to add that The
' Bulletin has been booming the
country and building railroads for
the past two or three years and has
not yet got one built out of the
Deschutes canyon or across the
' Cascade range. It is now "up to"
the capitalistic visitor and others of
" Jiis class Who are interested in this
ouutry to chip iu aud build the
railroad, while the rest of us sup
ply the hope and its concomitant
characteristics of local work and
development.
Ranchers in the Aruold ditch dis
trict tire having trouble in gcttid a
road opened to Bend. The high
way which they have been using
has been closed recently by several
fences built by those through whose
land the road runs, thus making it
necessary hat a new road be
opened. Those living in that dis
trict have asked that Bend take an
interest in this road question .and
help in getting one opened to travel
Their request is a reasonable one.
One of the most important features,
tcudiniMo a town's prosperity is n
system of good roads leading into
it roads over which travel is com
fortable nnd ovcr-which heavy loads
cau be easily hauled. The Arnold
ditch district is a populous aud
prosperous section and it behooves
Bend people to see that good roads
lead therefrom into Bend. This is
a fine undertaking for our commer
cial club to consider. Let's sec
what it will do.
Soil Moisture St utiles lit the
Deschutes Country.

But n small part of the water ap
plied iu irrigation Is actually used
by the crop. Some Vitus off, much
evaporates from the Surface, of the
soil, nnd some tuny fccci away lie
yond the reach of tue roots. The
amount of evnpuiattqji from the soil
varies with the cmpcmture, the
velocity of the wind,, the physical
condition of thck soil, and the
Amount of moi'tnrcbat it contains.
The exact amount lost from the
soil under diffcrtYit conditions and
its relation to the evaporation from

mnttcr. "
The writer conducted s me ex
pcriments along that line in 1905
when in charge of the experiment
farm ol the Deschutes Irrigation &
Power Company, Hear Bend, Or.
These Investigations were carried
on iu cooperotin with the office of
Irrigation and Drainage Investiga
tions of the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture. Thinking
that the results title lit be interesting
I will give an account of them.
First, however, I wij.1i to say
.something in regard to the charac-.
ter of the soil iu thnt locality. It
is a volcanic ash, which is not n-,
fine or heavy as the volcanic soils
m Idaho. It is nn ideal soil to
handle: does not b.l;r or puddle
rcadilv and is oulte retentive of
moisture.
To ascertain the amount of loss
of water by evaporation from the
surface of the miii. Six tanks were
filled with soil in the .spring, care
fullv welched and then sunk into
the j'.round Diflerent amounts of
water were used in irrigation and at
the close of the season the tanks were
taken tin aud again weighed. V. e
were thus able to get exact figures
on the amount of surface evajtora
tion. In the following tables arc
givcu the results of the experiment
The cleaning up of Bend's streets
and alleys during the past week has
added wonderfully to their appear
ance. The town looks so mucli
better that serious efforts should be
made to keep the streets permanent
ly clean. Tbey should not be al-
lowea 10 again get in me iiucrcu
condition that they were in previous
to the. cleaning, t little precaution
and effort toward keeping a town
clean adds much to its appearance
and to its health. Strangers visit
ing in the town arc impressed by its
neat and tidy appearince. It creates
a good impression on their minds
and good impressions are what we
are striving for. Frineville has re
cently taken a commendable step in
organizing a civic improvement
league, which has done much to
clean up their streets. A Frineville
man says that since the cleaning
their streets are wider or at least
appear to be and that everyone is
much pleased over the improved
appearance of their town. Bend's
streets are cleaned up very well
now. Wouldn't it be a good plan
to keep them in that condition?

The records' exfend tver a period
of 139 days, from May r to Septem
ber 18. A measurement "of the
evaporation from a water surface
was roauc in an, nuauiouai ianK.
During the same period this
amounted to 26 S inches and aver
aged 1:35 inches per week,
When the soil ws put imp tue
tank in the spring it was quite
moist. During the season the soil
was stirred to correspond with the
cultivation that tt.Wot crop, would
receive in the field At the close of
the season the moisture iu the soil
was found to be a!s follows": , ,
Tank No. t, hn tracdiof moisture
until ut depth of 1$ Inches. Tank
No 2 same as No i Tank No. 3
dry to a depth Of ) Inches. Tank

below surface, nnlufeUetl below
depth of to InChVA. Tank No. 5,
moist throughout , aud saturated
nearly to the surfnNre, Tank No. 6
same n.s No. 5 ,
The tanks were wu Inches deep
and the only loss ot watec was by
surface evaporation.
The figures in the tabic sliow tlial,
evaporation increases with tue
amount applied, .an tank No. 1
wticrc practically m water was ap
plied the evaporation was 3.3
inches while iu tank No. 4 where
the irrigation amounted to 27.2
inches it was about ceven times as
much. The amount applied in
tanks 5 ami 6 was suflicicntio keep
the soil saturated alt (the time. It
will also he noted that the cvapora
tiou in the two taiiks where large
amouuls were applied was greater
than that from the water surface.
During irrigation mid for n few
limits or u dav uttcrvnn application
of water, the evaporation from the
soil or laud that is not shaded by a
crop map exceed that from ditches.
Where flooding is practiced there Is
a great loss by surface evaporation,
while with the furrow system it U
considerably less.
Since there was no loss by dpwn
ward jwrcolation and 110 crop to use
any of the water, it may be
asocrtcd that the results secured do
not hold good for field conditions
The results, however, arc not .fur
from indicating what actually takes)
place in the tie Ids as the following
considcrations'will tdiow. Much of
thcwater that seeps away into the
deeper soil may later be brought up,
by capillarity and become available.
to the crop, ruts may take place
in any soil that is not underlaid by!
gravel or coarse sand. Hence the
upward movement of moisture dur
ing periods between irrigation may,
to n greater or less extent offset the
percolation which takes place im
mediately after irrigation. Further
more while any crop removes much
moisture, it reduces craporatlou by
shading the ground. The amount
of water that may be lost Irom a
bare soil would iu many instances
be sufficient to nourish a crop.
To render the figures in the table
more intelligible it may lie well to
state that the amount of water re
quired for 40 acres of land iu the
Deschutes country will cover one
acre of land to' a depth of four
hiches in 10 hours.

County Jail Ilmpty.
Our county jail has been empty
ever since the last term of court, an
unusual occurrence InCrook county.
The jail usually contains at least
one prisoner all the time between
terms of court, aud the feeding bill

Sheriff Combs has to do is
