Says the San Francisco Chronicle: The inspector of the Cntillm govern ment offices in Uie United State report tliitt during the last II month S6.4SS rcttlers from the United Stale hve cnteteil the C.nsilliTn nortliwcut. St tistics, hemys, how that American im migrant enrich Canada about $inx per capita. The lands of western Canada may be rich and they way be cheap Point out, however, any territory in America whose opportunities equal those today offered by Ore Kan's inland empire. The last and by far the greatest of the railroud less lands of the West is feeling the wonderful economic impetus of rail road development. The two mightiest transportation systems in the Uuited States are striving to reach a long neglected goal the waiting resources of Centra) Oregon. No longer is the railroad's com ing problematical. Not one, but two roads are assured certainties Not one, but several intersecting lines will make of the dormant Des chutes Valley the vscvuc of an un paiallcled devclqpmcoiand prosper ity. Not ouly will thejocal ship pel have his choice of route,' and there by all the benefits, o competition, but also a choice of roar tels, to the north, south, east and west. In a territory of such prdmlsc tber remains today more,than half a million acres of untakeu land, awaiting the coming of the h6me steader. Nor is it scrub or worth less, but a level, rocklcss, sage-dart plain, far superior to the meagre land prizes that fell to the lot of the fortunate few in last summer's widely advertised Indian land lot tcries, and infinitely beyond com parison, for instance, with the bomesteaded areas of the Dakotas Land there is aplenty right here in Oregon, to be bad for the taking, it not for the asking. Small nocd, then, for this reported rush of the land hungry to the isolation and bleak bomemaking of far Canada.

For doubtless hereafect the Chronicle's wrath, descending upon our shoulder. will be diverted somewhat Irotu Laidtaw's long sutTeritic citizcus In last week's issue of The Bul letin something was said concern ing the importance of a newspaper's advertising columns ns a directory of the industries and business es tablishments of the town which supports it. The week has brought to attention two interesting instances in connection with this matter. To a railroad ofllcial desiring a com plete list of local realty dealers a copy of The Bulletin was sent, its ''nds" chronicling practically every real estate man in towu, tue ex- UNPROFITABLE KNOCK1NO. The various towns of Ctuttul Oregon beera to be acquiring an unenviable reputation as "knock ers," each oae striving to run down the other with an industry which otherwise expended might accom plish worthy results. Nothing can be sore absurd than the popular state of mind evidenced by such action. There is room and inevitable seed for a score of goodly towns and a dozen cities in this inland empire of Oregon. The coming ot the railroads and the settlers will not only build up tbeexisting towns but will bring to life many more. And it is an undeniable fact that every town now on the Central Oregon map will thrive and grow without in any way conflicting with its neighbors. Each has its own territory, its own natural assets and its particular possibilities. The instances where "tributary" re sources or territory really conflict are as rare as they are unworthy of consideration. There exists, then, no earthly need of "knocking," because there is no cause of jealousy. The detractor of the advantages of "the other fellow's" town in the long run does himself and bis own town the damage be aimed abrosd. As a principle of busiuess and de cency it does not pay. Which leads us to the point of calling attention to the absence from The Bulletin's columns ot all town knocking news (Hilltnan we refuse to dignify with the title of town.") centions beinc otherwise su From a recent letter to The Hul (etin the following extract is taken: "I see no lumber advertised in your paper. Is it possible that Beud has no mills, and if so, where do you et your lumber for build ing? Kindly let me know lumber prices etc." Nuff said. A Bend merchant sent a bie or der of job printing work to Port land. We objected. He said he could get the work done much cheaper there than here. Without knowing the figures quoted him from Portland we made an estimate on the work Our prices exactly equalled the Portland prices. The merchant was paying the' express from Portland in excess of the cost of the work if executed in Bend; also, he was ltu'ting himself and the town, as well as losing money He said be was sorry, cancelled the Portland order and gave us the work. Now he is one of our most! enthusiastic customers. This is not a fairy tale; we are ready to supply names and figures to prove its truth. THOAU'SON CO. OPENS OFFICE J. A. Ilnstcs, Representative o! Nw Lytle Concern, In Heni). The M. K. Thompson Co. of Portland, into whose hands recent ly was transferred the holdings of the Lytic Townsite Company, have opened their offices in Bend on Or egon Mrcct. I. A. Hastes, the company's local representative, has come here with his family, with the intention of making Bend his permanent headquarters. Mr. Hastes was formerly director of the Portland retail grocers' asso ciation. Says the Grocers Maga zine, at tlte end of a commendatory article regarding his work: "We commend Mr. Hastes to the citizens of Bend and to the merchants in particular," The Portland firm, it will be remembered, also are handl ing the Madras townMte; it is their intention, says Mr. Hastes, to spend much money in advertising this section of the Deschutes Valley.

The complnitit against tlte al leged speeders Is based upon on Oregon statute prohibiting the run ning of atttos faster thnti eight miles an hour through the business streets of n city, The auto drivers, who "auto" know, declare first that the law is respected, and secondly, that anyway they never have been able to discover the "buiiticss streets of the city" whence the complaints emanate. CENTRAL ORl-OON NOTES. There were 79 homestead entries recorded at the Burns laud office in March. On the night of April -jtli, gam bling games progressing in some Shauiko saloons were raided and arrests made. Twelve prisoners were taken to The Dalles. A Wcnnndy-Ihiuten automobile made n record run to Klamath last week. Leaving Bend nt nine in the morniug they were back at the same time the next day, having put in the entire night on the road J.

A few sad-eyed dyspeptics still wail "there aint'er goin to be a railroad" and that anyway if it is built h will miss Bend. Delightful! But one wonders why that big bun dle of right-of-way deeds was deliv ered to Stevens; wbv the cold, cold cash has been distributed so uncom plainingly in land purchases, and how-it happens that contractors al ready are buying hay preparatory to starting camps at Bend next week. The attraction of Pelican Lodge as a retreat far from the sound of the locomotive bids fair to be short lived. Hvidently the new owner is not so intent upon Central Oregon railroadlessness as was the old. "How some people do hate the persons who attend strictly to their own business." That s from a neighboring paper. But people who live in gas houses ought not to throw matches.

We have gladly acceded to the request ot certain residents of Laid law that The Bulletin publish news matter in its columns which ap parently hitherto has been some what choked, journalistically. White resetting the ucidents that have forced upon' us the duty of sole sews gatherer of our sister town, we yet are glad to render a request ed courtesy to its cjtirens. With out entering at all into the par ticulars of the dissensions that seem to have divorced the Laid law sheet from local esteem and support, we take this opportunity to state' that The Bulletin has arranged for weekly news dispatches. Not only will l,aiuiaw news oe covered as well as circumstances permit, but there will be free access to The Bulletin's columns for any legiti ae communications from its citi zens.' We fear the Chronicle may be aggrieved at our course. How ever, by publishing what Laidlaw's citiieos des-ire and what they ap parently arc unable tobave printed elsewhere, we at least are bettering our heavenly chances by rendering It is reported that while the edi tor of tue Lebanon Express was at supper $13 was taken from the paper's till, The aflluence of the Express is to be envied.
