"For Union High School Yea."
At the annual school meeting on
June at, the advisability of a union
high school comes before the
voters.
It is proposed to consolidate
school districts Nos. 13, 34 and 72
that is, Bend, Lava and Reynolds
districts for the purpoesof a com
mon high school at Bend.
The two other districts involved
at present have not high schools of
their own, nor will they bo in a po
sition to support institutions at all
adequate for some yeats By the
proposed arrangement the gradu
ates of the common schools of these
districts will bo entitled to the ad
vantages of the Bend high school,
the districts themselves will partici
pate in the support of the union
high school and their tax-payers
will be exempt from their present
tax to the county high school at
Prinevillc.
There are various reasons why
the creation of this union high
school district should be looked up
on with favor. Bend already has a
very efficient high school equal in
efficiency to the county high school,
and Bend graduates are admitted to
the Oregon state university without
examination as to qualifications.
By forming the new union district
the high class facilities of the Bend
school are opened, free of tuition,
to the pupils of the Lava and
Reynolds districts.
The high school at Bend is a
good place for parents to send their
children and feel perfectly at ease
regarding their welfare. The mor
als of the town are good, and con
ditions from the standpoint of
health arc unexceled. Here we
have the purest of water, invigor
ating air, pleasant surroundings,
and no epidemics of disease. There
has been but one death among
Bend scholars since the school was
founded.
The three districts have assess
able property aggregating $1,293,
238. Ths means that the tax for
high school purposes will be very
light. The business of the district
will be transacted by a board of
five, elected by the voters of the
district.
Every voter should be present at
the election and cast the ballot
which reads: "For union high
school yes."
One of the most contemptible
tricks that can be done is the wan
ton destruction of another man's
property. The cutting of a halt
mile of wire fence belonging to H.
C. Barney is the latest instance in
point. The man who goes out in
the darkness of night and destroys
a fence put up by some law-abiding
homesteader, certainly has little re
gard for the dictates of the law or
of decency. His act proves him to
be a criminal, and he should re
ceive the criminal's portion. Mr
Barney is a hard working, energetic
man, an old soldier, and one who
attends strictly to his own business.
He is engaged in the laudable work
of building him a home on his
homestead just the sort of a man
this country needs and wants. And
be who cut the fence is just the
sort of a man the country does not
need. Here is a good task for the
officers of the law. Let them ap
prehend the guilty man and send
liltn to the penitentiary. That is a
very good place for him.
There are thousands of horse
power going to waste in the Des
chutes river. Said horse power can
be used for the development of
electric power. Railroads can be
run very successfully by electricity.
The Corvallis & Kastern railroad is
distant only nbout 60 miles from
Bend. The building of n railroad
over these 60 miles is n very feasi
ble project and easy of construction.
Question: Why do not Bend and
Portland capitalists awake to the
situation and build an electric line
to connect Bend with the C. & Iv?
City Marshal Lyncs has been
able to collect taxes for only 1 6
dogs out of the dozens of the pes
tifcious curs that infest the streets
of Bend. Most of the owners swore
solemnly that they had just given
the dogs away or promised to send
them out of town at once. The
best means by which to relieve
this nuisance is to provide the
marshal with a good shotgun and
plenty of ammunition, with in
structions to shoot on sight every
dog for which no tax has been
paid. What mania is it that pos
scsses nearly everyone in Bend to
desire a dog? They are noisy,
dirty, disease carrying creatures,
and most people have no earthly
use for them. There is no ob
jection to a dog that is being used
for some good purpose, but there is
altogether too many of the useless,
misnamed "pets" running the
streets of Bend, a nuisance to
everybody. Better send them to
dog heaven by the shotgun route.
Wants Information.
Portland, Or., June u, 1909. Editor
Bum Uullclfn, Ucml, Oregon. Dear Sir
Por Kime time I have been a renter of
your "lostcr" for Central Oregon and
have become interested in your country
and later I shall make a visit to Bend to
tooV your city over. Meanwhile would
you kindly, through your paper, give
me a little information regarding the
cost of clearing and putting in the first
crop on the acrage raw irrigated land,
etc.
Let me make a suggestion that you
publish a few articles along these lines
as no doubt you hate manv readers who
are, like myself, interested In your coun
try and would welcome any information
regarding the cost of securing a title to
your irrigated land.
In conclusion I wish to say that you
are publishing one of the best little
papers I have ever seen for a small
town. Respectfully,
A Rkadgr.
As soon as The Bulletin can col
lect the necessary data and can in
terview reliable farmery, it will
take pleasure in publishing an ar

requested.

Oregon-Idaho Development League Is
Doing flood Work In That Line.
The Oregon-Idaho Development
Congress will bold its ninth session
at Burns on July 1 and 2, and the
session promises to be one of the
most interesting and best attended
of any yet held by this energetic
and pushing organization.
The one great object animating
the men behind the congress is to
secure the building of a railroad
from Boise, Idaho, through Cen
tral Oregon, to Coos Bay. The)
desire that Oregon shall adopt the
proposed constitutional amendment
which would authorize certain dis
tricts to bond their property to
raise funds for railroad construc
tion. The amendment would also
give the state the power to build
railroads. Idaho has already
adopted a district railroad law.
While these men ore desirous of
securing such an amendment to
the Oregon constitution, they are
not relying wholly upon that
means for building the railroad, but
are working Mrenuously to interest
capital in such a road.
