Bend the Trade Center.
In view of the especially good
crops that arc being grown in the
Powell - Buttes section thisycar.it
esc be readily seen that that terri
tory some day will be one of the
most fertile sections of the Des
chutes valley! Grain crops exceed
ing all expectations arc being har
vested; six tons to the acre is being
cut from alfalfa fields; and potatoes
and roots of all kinds are yielding
proltfk-ully The Powell Butte sec
tion is living up to the good things
that have been predicted concern
ing it.
This has no small bearing on
Bend's future development. When
settled and developed this section
will consist of thousands of produc
tive acres. The cultivation that
has been accomplished is only a
scratch on the snrface. Practically
all of the trade from the buttes now
goes to Prineville. The county
seat is the nearest trading point
and the flour mill there provides a
market at a fair price for the farm
ers' grain. These are two quite
sufficient reasons why the butte
farmers look to Prineville as their
trading center. But this condition
of affairs will be reversed when the
railroad reaches Bend, which now
is assured within two years at the
latest. Then the natnral grain and
livestock market for all the fertile
section around Powell Buttes will
be at Bend. The building of a
railroad through a section always
readjusts, to a greater or less de
gree, the trading centers through
out that section. The same thing
will happen in Central Oregon, and
the business around the buttes will
find its logical market at Bend.
It would be very difficult to com
pute the amount of this business
the acreage is so extensive and the
soil so fertile. In that portion that
comes under the Central Oregon
canal and known in the D. I. & P.
Co.'s offices as "the shoestring,"
there arc 12,000 acres. This is on
ly a blot on the map when one con
siders all the land lying in that sec
tion. On those 12,000 acres there
will be from 250 to 300 families,
with many others on the land ad
joining and on part of the Oregon
Irrigation segregation that extends
out cast into that territory. These
figures give only a small idea of the
tons of farm produce that will "be
raised in tbit section; of the hun
dreds of bead of livestock that will
be fattened for market; and of the
vast quantities of boots, shoes,
hats, caps, clothing and groceries
that will be required by its pros
perous farmers. When all this is
considered, it can be seen readily
bow great an influence the trade of
the Powell Bultei section will play
in the growth and development of
Bend.
BULLETIN i United States senator ouce himself,
and was snubbed and ignored in
Washington, so he cannot bear to
sec n successor basking in the sun
shine of presidential recognition.
Wilcox is a man who covets the
senatorial toga but wishes it huudctl
to hitn for two hits, and Doc
Wethcrbcc is a bright little bantam
roaster wLo thinks he is the only
strutter in the barnyard that is
worth noticing. These politicians,
anxious to Ciscrcdit and destroy
the primary taw, nre willing to
sacrifice the interests of the state at
Washington to gratify their politi
cal spleen and open a way if pos
sible to a return of the system by
which they dictated in all the af
fairs of Oregon for so long. Sena
tor Bourne, as the exponent of the
people's rights in the choice of
officials, must be squelched at any
cost and the Oregoninn is the trum
peter for the gang that is pledged
to the job.
The Unemtes of Direct Primaries.
Saturday Krtnlnc l"ot.
There will, of course, be a direct
primnry law in New York. Prob
ably there will be such a law in
every state. Enough is known of
the workings of the system to show
that it isn't any patent, automatic,
political renovating machine. In
Wisconsin, for example, direct pri
maries have made elections more
expensive than ever before so ex
pensive that some observers say a
poor man is practically barred from
an important office. In Illinois
about the same men won at the pri
maries who would have won at old
fashioned conventions. The pri
mary, indeed, seems to have played
into the hands of the hard-pressed
bosses by enabling them to plump
gang democratic votes for gang re
publican candidates. Nearly every
where defects appear. Some will
be cured and some will not.
Yet. undoubtedly, the direct pri
mary idea grows in the affections
of the people. If you wish to know
the reason don't bother about de
tails of its working in this place
and that, but just look at the men
who, everywhere, are head and
front of the opposition to it. That
alone will settle the question.
Thanks to long and painful ex
perience, the popular inclination to
get on the opposite side of the fence
from the most determined foes of
the direct primaries has become
almost an instinct.

Portland's Tempest.
Bura's Timrs-Hersld.
The Portland politicians just now
remind us of some classes of women
at a reception in a country, town
given to some celebrity. Mayor
Simon, Theodore Wilcox, Little
Doc Wetberbee and a few more fel
lows who think they are some
"punkins," are torn with jealousy
because President Taft has con
sented to be a puest of Senator
Bourne during a part of his stay in
Portland, and Mayor Joe, at the
dictation of Wilcox and Wetherbee
has telegraphed that Portland is
unwilling to share with any indi
vidual the honor of the president's
entertainment. .Mayor joe was I
