Nothing Too (lood for Our Children.
The public school system that
Bend has been working P to such
a marked degree of efficiency dur
ing the past few years, is attracting
the attention of outside places, and
the neighboring tapers arc making
favorable mention of our schools.
The Bulletin reprints this week
two articles from the Madras Pio
neer and the Laidlaw Chronicle,
wh'ch speak in very complimentary
terms of the Bend schools. It is
natural to suppose that the- home
paper will always boost it own lo
cal schools, but when papers in
adjoining towns join in praising
that same institution it is very good
evidence that the school is all that
is claimed for it in the matter of
efficiency. There is one thing that
Bend is determined to have and
that is an educational institution in
its public schools that will be able
both in the efficiency of its teachers
and in its equipment to give the
children of the community as good
a high school education as they can
secure anywhere The local schools
have mudc marked strides forward
during the past two years, but they
are only just getting started in the
pursuit of what they will some day
be. At present they fulfill the re
quirements of the state law of Ore"
gon as to the efficiency of high
schools, and have been declared
the equal of the county high school
at Prineville.
Rather a Just Request.
On the first page of this issue
will be found an article descriptive
of the manner in which riparian
owners in and around Bend look
upon the recent decision of the su
preme court on water rights. Many
of these riparian homestead own
ers desire enough water to allow
them to install a small power plant
for lighting their farm buildings
and also for general power pur
poses. This they fear will be de
nied them, and will not be includ
ed in the definition of "domestic
use." The Bulletin believes their
claims are just and that enough
water should be allowed to pass
down the channel of the stream to
supply each riparian homesteader
with plenty of water for house,
barn and garden purposes, and also
for a small power plant if desired.
When men are willing to improve
their homes to such an extent as
this would imply, they should be
given every encouragement. If
the water is taken away from them
it wilt undoubtedly go to fatten the
pocketbock of some power or irri
gation corporation. The rights
and privileges of the bona fide set
tler should be given first consider
ation. And The Bulletin believes
the courts will so construe the law.
A Sign of Prosperity.
The Bulletiu takes pleasure in
noting again, on its first page,
further building operations in Bend.
The large new livery utid stage
stable being built by J. II. We
nandy will be a marked improve
ment in the town's business build
ings, the new postoilice will give
better quarters for that much pat
ronized institution, and the ad
ditional warehouse room being
built by Mr. Lara is prima facie
evidence that he is prospering, and
that is what we all want to do.
When new buildings go up it is the
best of evidence that the town and
community is prosperous. During
the past few mouths there have

been seven fine new residences
built in Bend, and at the same time
all of Bend's merchants have been
enlarging their store rooms and
buildiugadditional warehouse space.
These arc facts that talk. And
their argument is strongly against
the pessimistic knocker.
A Store That Is Nut Worth
Advertising.
A writer with a gift for phrasing
once wrote: "If your store is r.ot
worth advertising, advertise it for
sale." His phrase runs trippingly,
but his logic halts.
To sell a store that is "not worth
advertising" would be to defraud
the buyer so that the advice is
ethically unsound.
Of course there arc not many
stores that are not worth advertis
ing In this town, perhaps, none at
all. The fact is that no store ever
gts to be worth very murh be
yond the mere open market value
of stock and fixtures until it has
been adequately advertised. Until
then it has exerted no influence as
an organization, equipped for use
ful service to the people. It has
simply been a place where certain
things were kept for sale.
After it has had the breath of
life put into it by advertising it be
comes a store in the militant sense
intent upon winning friends, up
on the problems of growth.
The dullest store in this town can
be rejuvenated in a month until it
finds a place in the procession but
ONLY through advertising. If,
however, the store were "not worth
advertising," it would be more
commendable to close up entirely
than to try to "sell" it to somebody
else.
Have you yet written to Repre
sentatives Belknap and Brattain
and Senator Merryman requesting
their support of a modern water
code for Oregon, a code patterned
after the Wyoming law? If you
have not, you should. There will
be one measure before the present
legislature of great importance to
Central Oregon and that is the new
water law. We should sec to it
that our representatives do all in
their power to give us what we so
badly need in that respect.
The Bulletiu is still receiving
many letters of inquiry in regard
to this country, and they come
from all parts of the land. There
are many indications that point to
quite an influx of new people in
the spring.

Water Distribution.
Where water is spread over the
laud in open ditches, the ditches
should be close together and large
enough to carry water in big heads.
By using the large heads you can
irrigate the ground more rapidly,
thus saving in the quantity of water
wasted by seepage, and also have
better coutrol of the percentage of
moisture you wish to put in the
soil. Under long canals where
there are uumeious users of water
or where the water is divided into
several heads, the waste is very
large. The soil is over-saturated
and in many cases the land is
ruined. The system of delivering
water to individual users iu a con
stant flow of small rivulets of water
is a bad practice. The time flow
system would be much better, de
livering the water in large heads
for short periods of time. Gener
ally 60 to 70 per cent of the water
diverted from streams iu open canals
and distributed by lateral ditches is
lost before it is stored up in the
soil for use by the vegetation.
Water is getting too valuable to al
low this kind of waste. The ground

COMMENT UY OTHER PAPERS
There Is No Alternative.
Coos Bj Htrtor.
This paper advocated the nomi
nation of Charles W. Fulton as the
senatorial candidate on the republi
can ticket in the primaries. When
II. M. Cake defeated him for the
nomination it, like the majority of
republican papers, accepted the de
cision of the party (?) and sustained
Cake in his fight against Chamber
lain. But the people of Oregon
under Statement No. t decided that
George IJ. Chamberlain shall be
the next senator from this state and
to that end have elected a legisla
ture, the majority of whom are
pledged to vote for our worthy gov
ernor for that position. Again we
bow to the will or the people.
There is no alternative. The ma
jority of the legislature is pledged
to its constituents to vote for Cham
berlain, and vote for Chamberlain
they must or quietly bubble through
the surface of the sea of oblivion
forever. A man who violates his
pledge to the people who elected
him is dead, not only politically but
as a man among men. He may
have been a double dyed scoundrel
rU his days, his word in business
may lie as lightly made and quick
ly broken as the creations of a
child's bubble blower, but if he vio
lates this pledge all men will for
ever point the finger of scorn at
him; he will be down and out.
"An Bye for an Bye,"
Condon Timet,
James Pinch, the slayer of Ralph
Fisher, has been found guilty and
will probably be hung for the crime.
It is deplorable but true that capi
tal punishment has got to be resort
ed to in this day of the civilized
world, and appears to be the only
method to suppress those who are
murderously inclined. A whole
some fear of the gallows is the only
remedy so far found to stay the
hand that would slay and spare not,
and a dread 01 tlie hangman s noose
keeps the thug in constant dread of
the law. An eye for an eye and a
tooth for a tooth was the Jewish
law and we must say it is a good
one, lie that spills the blood of a
human being his blood should flow
better from every point of view
than frequent application of water
in small qunntitie, for every time
you soak land with cold water you
lower the temperature and the plant
growth it checked until the water
and soil reach the saute normal
teutterature.
Winter Irrigation.
Iu a large portion of the arid
region greater irrigation would work
wonders. The soil is the best and
cheapest kind of a storage reservoir,
nnd in tnauv cases you can store
water in the soil to a depth of five
feet iu the winter months nnd bring
the moisture to the ton by proper
cultivation during the glowing
season. In the Inland Kmpite af
ter the last two weeks in October is
a good time to irrigate your laud,
thus storing up u supply of water
to insure against draught and also
to enable you to delay the spring
irrigation until the sun and air will
counteract the lowering of soil tem
perature due to early spring irri
gation. To convince yourself that
the soil is a practical storage reser
voir, select a piece of protitid with
soil say five feet deep over n clay
subsoil beneath. Saturate it with
water and let the top crust dry out
one foot iu depth. Then plow and
roll the surface three or four times
and you will find that the top foot
is now the wetter and the bottom
foot is the dryer. Continue this
process and you will find the rate of
moisture from the bottom up will
decease until the bottom four feet is
dry and the top foot wet. By cul
tivation, the capillary attraction of
the soil, the heat action of the sun,
you have pumped the water out of
the soil to a depth of five feet. Pa

it will probably be until the end of
the world.
BEND SCHOOL EXCELS.
What Neighboring Town Think of the
Local High School.
In February, 1906, the voters iu
the Bend district organized a dis
trict high school at that place, es
tablishing a full four years' course
in accordance with the laws for
high schools in Oregon, thereby
complying fully with the school
laws for one year previous to the
time that the county high school at
Prineville was raised to the same
standard. Iu September of this
year the Bend district applied to
the county boundury board for rec
ognition as to the efficiency of the
Jiend liigli school and for the ex
emption of its proportion of the
county high school tax. The first
of this mouth, after a careful per
sonal examination of the Bend
school by the full board, the appli
cation was unanimously granted,
and the board declared, unofficially,
that iu efficiency the Bend high
school really excelled the county
high school. Madras Pioneer.
Bend now has a duly recognized
high school of equal efficiency with
the county high school, and will
soon endeavor to organize a union
high school district which will give
them a very large valuation and en-
able the school to be much more
effective by giving it more money
for equipment and apparatus. The
course of study will be the equal of
any high school in the interior and
the teaching force will be second to
none in the state. The people of
Bend arc to be congratulated upon
their push and enterprise in this
direction, and other districts iu the
county should follow the examnle
of our neighbor on the south.

UNLESS IT'S A GOOD
STORE IT WILL NOT
PAY to ADVERTISE IT!
UNLIiSS you know 0 pcrsouunlcs that person comes
into your life iu some way you are not greatly con
cerned ubout whether he is good or bad, desirable
or objectionable.
It's bo with 0 store. The people who never visit It
care nothing about it one way or the other. It doesn't
exist for them. Hut when they nrc persuaded to patron
Uc it when they conic to tutu the potlight of their at
teution on it when it comes to have n part In their lives,
as some stores must have in all lives then it's different;
then it DO MS matter whether it strives to win confidence;
it docs matter whether or not its price concessions arc genu
iuc, dependable.
If it meets all tests that a good store must stand when
it is advertised when it thus invites the critical attention
of people then advertising "makes" the store. If it fails
in most of the vital things if it proves, under the light of
publicity, not to be much of a store, TIIIiN ADVKKTIH
INC WILL NOT PAY-for It will emphasize short
comings as well as merits.
For these snme reasons It Is generally
assumed that the store which docs not
ndvertisc Is seeking to avoid close lit
spcctlon and comparison, and that the
store which docs Is courting tliciu.
