ORl-OON LANDS POR ALL.
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.

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.")

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.

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.

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.
