Klsewhcrc hi this Issue is pub
iished n letter from a settler on the
upper Deschutes. The writer's
ptirposc, apparently, is to stmul up
for what he conceives to be the
downtrodden rights of his locality.
That is well. With the laudiblc
, desire to obtain pron;r credit and
' publicity for ihc undoubted re
sources and possibilities of the up.
per Deschutes country The Ilullctjn
is In full accord. It is perhaps true
t lint our columns have Wen some
what barrea of "up rim" news.
However, the lault tor this nppar
cn neglect is not entirely our own.
At various times ciTott has been
made to secure correspondence from
"up river" dwellers, but to no
avail. ' Since the receipt of this let
ter its writer has been urged to keep
us in touch with the "doings" of
his section as do tits citizens of
other adjacent territory; and it has
been made clear toliim, as to others,
that at all times the columns of
The Bulletin arc open to communi
cations and all pertinent news.
Why The Bulletin is accused of
deliberately "knocking" the upper
Deschutes country we arc at a loss
to comprehend. The files of the
last six months contain not a word
derogatory to that region. It is a
splendid territory. It meadows arc
green and its timber plentiful, as
'states our correspondent. 01 its
character there is no more desira
ble land in all Orcgou. A promis
ing irrigation enterprise is under
way near Roslaud, and quite doubt
less much of the timber near the
"Big Meadows" may be milled
there. Success and prosperity there
is infinitely desirable, not only for
the local residents but for those of
Bend.
'True, much prominence has bcrn
given the "juniper plains;" de
servedly we are pioud of the devel
opment irrigation has affected in
this hitherto "dry and arid desert,"
to borrow an over-vehement expres
sion of oar correspondent's. Not
quite a "desert," however, when
one notes the yields of the Powell
Butt un-irrigated acres: yields In
graiis, root crops and even fruit
which hold their own In compari
soa with those of any of the famous
"dry farming" districts of the
West. Again, the homestead land
to the southeast are accorded much
attention; and why not? Do thev
not offer the greatest opportunity
for the acquisition of free land to
be found anywhere, is not their
rapid settlement aiding Bend's de
velopment today, and will not Bend
be enriched by the future cultiva
tion of their hundreds of thousands
of dormant acres?
"There are two billion feet of
yellow pine in Crook county," says
our correspondent. There are, in
fact, at least seven end probably
ten billion feet, the greater part ol
which is in the Dochutes country
How much of it will be milled at
Bend and how much, in tributary
mills "up river" is problematical;
its shipment from Bend on the Hill
eastern line will be the chief factor
in the location of the central manu
facturim; point.
"If you cannot say a good word
for as why say a bad one?" winds
up the malcontent. No one has
ld a "bad" word There is suf
ficient volume to the grand anvil
chorus without-The Bulletin or an
other paper taking upon itself the
"knocking" of its home territory.

It Is fortunate for the 'feelings of

Roosevelt returns to America.
Should the two arrivals coincide
the comparative insignificance of

it to popular oblivion.

You hoat of your gteat country lying

word of condolence for the tcttlcri of

country of which you aie to proud, what

juniper plains -so inya The llullcthi.
Well, t wlnh them 110 harm but hope
they continue to thrive and rle good

And alxml your timber resource.
