One Ool Reached.
The people of Bend take pleasure
and a pardonable degree of pride
this year in the first commence
ment exercises of our high school.
It is a goal toward which nil enter
prising towns struggle, and Bend
has been working with this goal in
view ever since the citizens first
took up the work of establishing a
local school system. In this work,
the all-important point in the minds
of the citizens always has been
efficiency, and as a result the Bend
schools possess an enviable reputa
tion in this respect. One goal has
been reached, that of graduating a
class from the high school, but
there are others still further along,
and Bind citizens will not cease
their labors until the last goal has
been reached. The youth of this
section must and shall have the op
portunity to obtain an adequate
high school education right here at
home.
Make It Misdemeanor.
. The stealing of water from the
city tank continues nearly every
night and no one knows what morn
ing the tank will be practically emp
ty, as it was a week or two ago. The
people who are doing this seem to
have no concern for the safety ol
the town. It would be a most dis
astrous thing for c fire to break out
some morning with the supply of
water so greatly depleted. In fact,
if the fire should occur in the busi
ness section, the town would be at
the mercy of the flames.
Every night at 6 o'clock the tank
is full. Charles Stanburrough,
who has charge of the pumping
station, says that when no stealing
is done, the usual use of water dur
! ig the night lowers the amount in
the tank about a foot; when it is
stolen the tank is lowered to half
or even less of its capacity.
This is something that should be
stopped at once. If there is no
other way, the city council should
enact an ordinance making the
stealing of water a misdemeanor
and punishable by a fine. The
safety of the town demands drastic
action.
BalUugcr's Stand la UawUe.
There is sufficient reason to doubt
the wisdom of the stand taken by
Secretary Ballinger in opposition to
the withdrawal, by the government,
of possible waterpower sites. Ex
Prehiilent Roosevelt and Chief For
ester Piucbot worked in harmony
in this matter, their object being
to prevent the acquisition of
waterpower sites by power corpora
tions who were attempting to gobble
up alt such sites. Secretary Bal
linger and Mr. Pinchot have locked
horns over this matter and Ballinger
refuses to make any further with
drawals. Those who favor Secretary Bal
linger's stand say that the secretary
is right in doing as he does because
the waterpower is needed for the
development of the West. The
facts do not uphold this statement.
There are thousands of horsepower
going to waste in Western streams,
the sites for the development of
which are already owned by com
panies or individuals and over
which the government has no con
trol. In most cases there is yet no
attempt to develop these power
propositions for the very good

reason that there is no market for
the power. Before these power
companies are given title to the re
maining iovver sites, they should
be required to develop, to the full
est extent, the .sites they now have.
Of course, in tuty community where
all avatlublc wuterpowcr has been
developed except that on govern
ment laud, nnd when n company
stands ready to develop this un
used power, the government should
allow them to do so under certain
yearly rentals and restrictions.
Mr. Pinchot is right and Secre
tary Ballingcr is in the wrong
There is ample evidence that nn
attempt is being made by power
corporations to secure nil water
power sites and eventually to create
a monopoly of this most important
and great profit-producing business.
Mr. Pinchot's policy would prevent
this to a certain extent. The un
used watcrpower of the country be
longs to the people as a whole. It
should not be tendered as a gift too
few wealthy corporations.
Of course it is unconstitutional to
tax the rich man through nn in
come tax but perfectly just and
proper to tax the consumers
chiefly poor people by means ol
an exborbitnnt protective tariff.
HOW THE TERM ORIGINATED.
'Inland Umpire" Was Named by Con
gregational Missionary.
How the term, "Inland Umpire" or'gi
natctl bat long been a mooted question
in Oregon, Idaho and Washington. The
title which embraces a tri-statc territory
was created by Dr. George Atkinson of
l'ortumi.
In 1&1S, Dr. Atkinson, who s tne
first home missionary of the Congrega-
tional church in Oregon, arrived at Ore
gon City. From the beginning he took
a lively interest in the material as well
as the spiritual and educational develop
ment of the Oregon country. After ful
ly acquainting himself ltti the re
sources of Eastern Oregon, Washington
and pari of Idaho he suggested the
name "Inland Umpire."
Dr. Atkinson was raised on a farm.
He understood the practical side of agri
culture. As early as 1857. be made a
trip to Walla Walla and the contiguous
country, securing samplts of toils from
the hills. In the early sixties he was in
the Big Bend country, in the vicinity of
the present site of the city of Colfax,
and secured samples of soils there. He
did the same thing in respect to the
numerous portions of Wasco county, and
also across the river in Klickitat county,
Washington.
He then secured samples of soils from
different portions of Hurope, in local!
ties where wheat growing was the most
successful, and compared the analysis
of those toil with those at home and In
this way became firmly convinced that
it was only a question of time when the
territory under consideration would be
come a great wheat growing region and
that stock raiting, to which it was then
almost solely devoted, would have to be
carried on in very much reduced limits.
Furthermore, he stoutly maintained
that wherever bunch grass would grow,
the proper cultivation of the soil would,
in a targe measure, assist in securing the

One Way to Beat The
Mail Order Houses.
TO no other branch of business does the village mer
chant give less attention than to his advertising,
while, as a mutter of fact, no other part of bis
business requires more attention, says the Autl Mail
Order Journal.
The people who read the local country papers read
them more thoroughly than those who read the metro
politan papers. They read the advertisement of John
Smithers, dealer in dry goods, furniture, etc. Iiut that
is not all. It is dull reading and makes no Impression
upon the mind of the reader.
There is nothing new or sensational, not a thrill or
emotion in a hundred paes of it, so it is passed by al
most unnoticed. The reader mny want somcthiug in
the dry goods or furniture line, but there is nothing in
the cold, unwelcome sort of general invitation ad. to
make him feel thnt John Smithers really is the man he
wants to buy from.
In another paper or magazine he reads Henry
Jones' advertisement. It is carefully studied, well
worded, plain, too, but it states that Henry Jones is
making a specialty of a certain line of dry good or fur
niture; that he is offering an especial bargain in certain
lines. The price is given. It is attractive. The ad.
is an invitation to call or write. It is filled with a
warmth of f eliug, .sounds genuine and appeals to the
reader. Henry Jones gets the reader's trade.
Too many village merchants look upon their local
newspaper advertising at- a sort of tribute they arc
obliged to give the local paper and not us an investment
made for profit, and the copy they furnish for such ad
vertisement generally bears out this proposition.
No greater error was ever marie by them. Properly writ
ten, with force, spirit uud Intercut In every line of his advertise
ment, the village merchant will Arid his business can be largely
increased and the mail order monopoly most woefully affected.
Nothing, in fact, will conduce so effectively toward put
ting an end to the mail order evil as the publication of good,
attractive advertisements in the local or home papers.
We cannot too strongly urge upon all merchants who wish
to do h good business, who wish to destroy the mail order
monopoly and who sincerely desire to improve their home
towns the Importance of making their advertisement readable,
Interesting and attractive.
