NA1URO MAY BC KIND. UUT We have pictures and lotiR de acrlptions of the "smudging" of orchards in famous fruit districts, of the spraying and the mulching and special protections for trees and vines and plants, from sunny Mex ico to snowy Canada. Notwith standiog which the beat of them suffer occasional failures from frost or drouth or insect pests. It was only a few years ago that the Flor ida orange industry was almost totally destroyed by an unseason able frcerc. It has hardly yet re covered. But Florida is still a fine orange country. California suffers reverses every year in some of its noted fruit sections. Those who are skeptical of the agricultural value of Central and Eastern thegon its power to pro duce, for example, apples, or toma toes or alfalfa should think of these things. They see here none of the evidences of special care which is bestowed upon such crops in regions famous for their produc tion. Why should they expect here without special effort such re suits as are obtained elsewhere only after the expenditure of money, time and careful study of the peculiarities of the locality? Such unthiuking, offhand con drmnation means nothing but poor and unfajr judgment on the part of those who jump to such hasty conclusions. It is unfair to expect of a raw, new section that perfection which is scarcely ut taiucd, after long study and cul ture, in old and well-developed ter ritory. The natural peculiarities of the country must be studied and hu mored here as elsewhere. Then we have the right to expect results Such success as come without sjs tematic, intelligent effort simpl prove that nature is unusually kind here. controlled before material damage had been done. The Bulletin has for distribution an interesting and valuable report of ForcnMcr Ileal on the climate of the Deschutes Valley. It is worth while to huve accurate information on this subject. This official state ment clears up some things that were mysterious. GOOD ROADS AT HOME. Officers or the county court of Priiok county were In Eugene to confer with the officer of Lane count; with a view to cetilnz tbe McKenzie road over the Cascades pat into better condition 10 teat automobile miitu make tne trip easily, tbe visiting officers promising to make a Rood highway on their title of the mountain if, the road on this fide U made better. Such roafl would be of immense ad vaatage to Eugene. It would mean that all the travel from tbe interior of Oregon Into the Willamette valley even a far aa Portland, would come through Eugene. By all laeam, let the couutv court make any reasonable agreement with tbe county court of Crook county and let this trans-Cascade highway be opened to public travel. Such is an editorial extract (torn the Oregon Regis'er of Eugene The proposed road would be of vast value to Bend. One result of its completion would be that all the automobile and tourist traffic from Willamette and Washington points which now comes into Central Ore gon by way ot Tbe Dalles and Sbaaiko would enter over the new rood. However, may not such a high way justly be considered a luxury, important, to be sure, but worth having and paying for only after tbe local roads are put into good shape. It is far more important that farmers have good roads over which to haul their produce tbe back-bone of a country's develop mentthan that effort be made on bigger projects, however valuable tbey may be. The citizens of Wallace, Idaho, with their town practically de stroyed and their water supply cut off by forest fires, were driven to drinking beer as a last resort. Moral for tempcrnnccitcs: Live in Central Oregon, where the timber doesn't burn. The German Kiscr has indeed opened his mouth and put his foot into it. While he (.President Taft) is still con viuced that tbe Payne-Aid rich law is the best tariff law tbe country has bad up to this time, has at last reached the con clusion that there is decided room for improvement. Portland OreL'onian. Revision of tbe "best tariff ever passed" will be Taft's keynote for the congressional campaign Sounds familiar, somehow. It was not so very long ago that "tariff revision" was the "key note" in r presidential campaign. And what came of h excepting W. H. T.'s installation iu the White House? and,, bow, indeed, can there be poibillity for "im pravenwnt" in such a Utopian tariff law as the present? BUYS BRICK YARD. Horn Acquires Properly and Will Oreatly Improve It. A. II. Horn, who acquired an interesi in the Bend Brick & Tyle Co. together with F. A. Hunnell, Fred Van Matre nud 0 W.jGert son iu May, took over the entire property ou August 5th In June the company was incorporated with a capital stock of $20,000 all now controlled by Mr. and Mrs. Horn The present capacity of the yard is 15,000 brick a day. This will be doubled next spring, says Mr. Horn, when a Ipt of the best ma chinery will be installed. DITCHES OBSTRUCTED. L. D. Wlest Writes of Thoughtless Damage to Laterals. The Bulletin, at the request of the writer, prints the following letter of a Bend citizen who objects 10 certain alleged abuses of irriga tion ditches, causing private loss and public iuconveuience. To tbe Editor: Considerable annoyance has been caused by people throwing obstructions into the Wiest-Tabor Lateral in order to (jet across the ditch. These obstruc tions, consisting of rocks and litnln, have been thrown in by different per sons at distances of about loo yard apart and cause refuse to catch thereon in such a manner as to cause dams, there by frequently overflooding the ditch and in some instances causing more or leu damage. In one instance posts and other rubbish were thrown Iu to take a traction engine across. It would prob ably have taken the part who threw it in about five minutes to remove iu The posts and rubbish were left in tbe ditch resulting in the ditch being cut at this point and the public road iu the. vicinity practically ruined until it can be re paired, anil causing damages amounting to some I to. While it no doubt is fre quently necessary for people to cross aim recrots private mtciics at uiUerent points, obstructions left therein are a nuisance and should be removed by the parties tnrowiug tuem in. L. D. Wikst. LESSENS POPULATION Drunk .Railrort Worker Almost Kilts Bartender at Hiliman, A serious decrease in Hillman's population was narrowly averted on Sunday when Pete Moro, part owner of a couple of near-beer joints in mat town, was nearly killed by an unknown Austrian railroad worker. It appears (hat a row in Moro's saloon resulted the "Bo- bunk" drawing a knife and badly cutting up the bartender. Dr. Hofcb of Redmond' attended the wounded man, who will recover The assailant and bis companions escaped and as yet have not been apprehended, uor are their names known. t htreliy announce myself as a caillUtt to uccvrd Intaeltlo the drive of County Clttk, sub. lectin the anurorol of the Demon site niters, ol Crook County at the yrtnis.r)r lUsn to I held PcnleuilKr S4,loio, Respect fully, Wasrkn Drown, t hereby anncunee myself a candidate to succeed myself to the otttce ofKherltr, subject to the ppronil ol the Republican volt rs of Crook County at the primary election to be held Hep Umber 14, Isio.
