The question that is puzzling Central Oregon people at the pres ent time is expressed iu thetwo-told query: "Is Hill behind Porter Bros, in building the Oregon Trunk Line, nnd if he is, is his present ac tivity in the Deschutes canyon only Tor the purpose of hampering Har riomn and forcing valuable conces sions from him elsewhere?" Let us analyze the situation by means of the various moves in the game and see what conclusion we reach. First, let it be remembered that Hill, when he announced in Port had in 1905 that he would build the North Bank road, said that he would be very apt to build a line into Central Oregon at some future date- Keeping this statement of his mind, let us consider the per sonality of the men who- are em ployed in building the Oregon Trunk Line. Porter Bros., who claim to have bought the Oregon Trunk's sur veys, have built railroads for Hill for years. V. N. Bethel, the chief engineer of the Oregon Trunk Line, was right-cf-way man for Hill's North Bank road and later did much of the engineering work on it. T. H. Han ford, who was construction engineer on the North Bank, is now working with Porter Bros, on the Oregon Trnnk Line. Janes B. Kerr of Portland, attor ney for Hill's North Bank road, is also looking after legal matters for the Oregon Trunk Line. And the famous James F. Stevens, who is conceded to be Hill's foremost en gineer, holds secret conferences in Portland with Porter Pros., Bethel and Hanford. Furthermore, h is reported that Bethel has quietly made surveys across the Columbia at The Dalles in order to be able to estimate on the cost of a bridge at that place, thus indicating that the Oregon Trunk Line will be con nected with Hill's North Bank road. When it is considered that so many men who have formerly been Hill's right band lieutenants, are now connected with the Oregon Trunk Line, does it not indicate beyoad question that Hill is the power behind the latter- line? If not, how does it happen that so many of bis lieutenants show up so suddenly in the ranks of the Ore gon Trunk Line? Why should the Great Northern magnate want a railroad into Cen tral Oregon? First, there will be a great amount of traffic in lumber, livestock, agricultural prodncts, etc. from this part of the state an em pire in itself. Hill wauls his share of that. It is universally admitted that it has been an ambition of Hilt's for years to build a lipe to Sao Francisco. He can not get suitable grades west of the Cascade mountains, as witness the action of the Southern PaciGcin building the Natron-Klamath cutoff and swing ing across to the east of the Cas cades in order to avoid the Siski yous. The other alternative would be for him to build through Central Oregon on his way to the Golden Gate. A water level line up the WBDNKSDAY, AUG, 4, 1909- Deschutes affords a practical unap propriated inlet to the state from the north. By building across the state to Lakevlew, he can secure a route direct to San Francisco by building down the canyons of Pitt and Sacramento rivers or he can perhaps connect with the N.-C.-O. which would give him a line to Carson City and from that point there k another water level route to Sao Francisco. The N.-C.-O. has announced that it will extend its line from Alturas to Lnkcvicw and then northward to The Dalles. There is a strong suspicion that the N.-C.'O. and the Oregou Trunk Line may be working together. Thus it is -seen that there ore strong reasons to believe that Hill is backing Porter Bros., and also that it is possible for him to get a very good route into San Francisco by building through Central Ore gon. The other question is: "Is Hill hampering Harrimau along the Deschutes merely to force conces sions from him?" If that were Hill's game, he would care nothiuc about the cen tral and southern puts of the state. The traffic possibilities of this sec tion would have no interest for him inasmuch as he would not intend to build into it. But, on the contrary, judging from the actions of his lieu tenants, this section has great at tractions for him. If Hill had no intentions of build ing and was only hampering Harri mau, what was bis object in send ing John F. Stevens throughout the entire central and southern por tions of the state on n trip of in spection? If his is a hold-up game, why did W. N. Bethel spend several weeks iu a careful examination of the Des chutes canyon between Bend and Laidtaw and north of Laldlaw? II he has no intention of building into Central Oregon, why have Porter Bros, made numerous trips IF PRICE AND QUALITY Are any object to you, you should go to the PINE TREE STORE, where you get both.

Call and see for yourself El. A. SATHER ONLY AN AD-READER can WISELY MANAGE Household Finances THE ADS. make "management" of "money matters" in the home POS SIBLE. The wife who always studies tbo add. Is working in business partnership with tli.' husband who, sup posedly, has to "know thiupn" in order to EARN the money. On her part, the wife comes to know values, and prices, and where and when and how to buy and such knowledge, such education, comes chiefly through reading and an swering ads. "Household Prosperity" Is assured if the wife makes ad reading a part of her daily routine. through Bend utid south into Cal ifornia? One of the Porter Bros, has an nounced that he would be through her agalu n n week or two. Why should he conic, if they arc only playing a hold-up game for Hill 011 the lower Deschutes? If their game is simply to hinder and lmrrass llarriman, why all this interest in this part of the state? The supposition that Porter Bros. arc merely attempting to hold up Harrimau iu order to force him to buy them out is absurd. llarri man, with the millions he has be hind him, could crush Porter Bros, in short order, and Porter Bros, know it. Furthermore, their record is that of railroad builders; not pi ratical holdup obstructionists. The only logical conclusion i that Hill in supplying the sinews of war for Porter Bros, and that he in tends to build a road across lift: state on his wav to San Francisco. Will Bend Get llor Share? No less than 35,668,670 people throughout the United States will have their attention drawn to Ore gon as the land of opportunity dur tug the coming three months by a great advertising campaign to be conducted by the Portland Commer cial Club, says an exchange. The leading agricultural papers and the weekly editions of the big dailies will be used. There is no question that the campaign will direct the movement of thousands of people to this state. The advertisement WAGONS AND BUGGIES MOWERS AND RAKES BINDERS AND TWINE BARBED WIRE CHICKEN NETTING II will carry the familiar ovul, with the slogan "Oregou Is the Place For You" iu large letters, nnd those at all interested are urged to ask for literature nnd information about Oregon. The advertisement In forms the reader that railroad rates are the same to all parts of Oregon from the East and Oregon commer cial bodies will be supplied with ad dresses of nil enquirers so that the whole state may profit by this ad vertising, although Portland will bear all the expense. It is claimed that no other city iu the world ever did a like thing. It is urged that all get in line for this valuable publicity. People of the Eust who ask about this state should be answered promptly and fully byourcammcrciul bodies. Iu this way, it is believed, very great benefits will follow for all Oregon. This is the more important now that the colonist rates have been decided upon by the railroads. Re duced one-way tickets will be sold to all Pacific coast points from the Hast and Middle West for colonists and hotneseekers who desire to come here. The advertising' cam paign for settlers will be well sup plemented by these attractive rates, and the result is sure to lie a hcavv influx of hoineseekcrs and investors to every part of Oregou where the present residents have about them progressiveness enough to boost for their own community and their own interests. Conditions at present are particularly favorable for Bend's commercial club and Bend people in general to start on advertising campaign that would he certain to produce the desired results. The eyes of the nation are being drawn to Central Oregon by the struggle of the railroad titans for an advan tageous foothold in this rich though undeveloped territory, and if Bend will lift up her voice and let the people know what we have here for them, a rapid growth for our city is assured. Shall we grasp the opportunity or will you follow the example of the sluggard who continued. to "slug?" Djd you ever consider how much more pleasant your town would be if, instead of the streets being full of weeds and trash and loose rock, they were kept scrupulously clean and bad a ditch of clear water run ning down each side through a strip of green sod? This could easily be dune iu Bend, It would increase the property valuations far more, than it would cost.
