Let's Clean Up.
Bend's business men and Bend
people arc activtly engaged in a
campaign of publicity) the object of
which is to keep the advantages of
this place before prospective home
seekers and investors, thus induc
ing them either to settle here and
help in the growth of the town or
to' invest their money in this sec
tion and assist just that much in
the development of this section. As
0 result of (his publicity and the at
tention Bend is receiving due to
railroad construction, many people
are coming here and the town is
full of strangers all the time. What
is the impression they receive re
garding the town?
It's a very poor impression if
their judgment depended solely on
the appearance of some of our
streets and alleys. Littered with
scraps of boards, tin cans, baling
wire, waste paper, etc, etc., a few
of our alleys and to our shame,
parts of our streets present a most
untidy and unkempt appearance
Everybody knows this should not
be. This refuse matter should be
kept cleaned np. In the first place,
it should never be allowed to ac
cumulate. There is no legitimate
excuse for it, and the proper thing
to do is for everyone to get out and
have a housecleaning day. Then
after the refuse is disposed of, do
not let it accumulate again.
There are a few simple rules
which, if everyone followed, would
keep.the town in a very respectable
condition. First and foremost is
this, waste paper should never be
swept out of your place of business
or thrown carelessly into the street
there to lodge in some corner and
litter the town. Bum your waste
paper. As you walk down the
street don't toss to one side an old
ktttr or envelope. Burn it instead
when you reach our place of busi
ness or your home.
If you are bui'ding an addition to
your store or.putting up any sort of
structure, clean up the scraps of
boards, shavings, etc. when the job
is finished. Don't let your boys, or
someone else's boys, carry the
scraps into the street and drop them
there.
Don't litter up your back yard
and alley promiscuously with tin
cans, ashes, old shoes, etc. Have
one particular place for a rubbish
heap and see that alt rubbish goes
into it. Then have the heap eitbei
burned or hauled away at regular
intervals. Some yards and alleys
in this town are a disgrace to the
owners and the town in general.
If you fall over a piece of baling
wire in the street, pick it up and
put it where it belongs. Ditto with
boards, tin cans and bottles.
Don't make of your sidewalk a
warehouse. Move your surplus
merchandise into the rear of your
store.
When unpacking goods before
your store, see to it that paper and
pieces of broken boxes are uct left
in the street.
The city officials can help in this
good work. Let them have a half
dozen or more large cans made and
put on the corners at least in the
business section. On these cans
have a suitable notice painted, such
as for instance: "Help keep your
city clean. Put your waste paper
In here." Then have the cans
emptied whenever necessary.
Take a little pride in the appear
ance of your town and go out of
your way a liitle, if necessary, to
keep,, it clean. It is all well and
good to have a cleaning up day .
oucc a year, but what would be
much better is for each person to
sec that his premises arc in n tidy
condition nil the time.
The general appearance of n
town exerts a powerful influence
on a stranger on his first visit to
the place. If he sees clean streets
and alleys, he is impressed with the
tidiness of the town and the gener
al air of prosperity. If he finds
good schools, pure water, n health
ful climate, and a general spirit of
push and prorcssiveness, he will
very ofteu say to himself this is
where I will cast in ray lot and
make my home. If he sees dirty
and unkempt streets, he will, nine
times out of ten, conclude that the
entire spirit of the town is in keep
ing with the appearance of the
streets, and his stay in that town
will be short. Bend has all of the
uttractive features mentioned and it
may have clean streets if the citi
zens will only take a proper degree
of carefulnest with their refuse.
During the past week, Aldridgc
& Turpin and L- A. Brandenburgh
have cleaned up around their places
of business, and Hugh O'Kane has
improved matters to no small de
gtee around the Hotel Bend. How
many of our merchants and citizens
will continue this good work?
We are advertising Bend ami
spending our good money. It is
money well spent. But let us put
our town in a spink and pank con
dition of cleanliness and have some
thing to show the visitors when
they get here.

No more useful industry to the
state exists than the breeding of
good horses. In some of the Cana

ate uot taxed, and breeding horses
arc purchased by the governments
for the improvement of the animals

be well for Oregon if we encour
aged the importation and breeding
of good horses a little more?
