Their scheme for Deschutes county having been do Jetted by the voters of their own county, more than 5 to 1, they drop that subject entirely, their newspapers not ceu giving the news of it, nnd come up smiling with a proposal to take the same matter to the Legislature for action. Hut pcrscvcrence is not the only virtue and in this ense it is foolish. The constitution of Oregon, by initiative amendment adopted in 1906, deprived the legislature of the power of creating new counties. Trior to that time Sec. 2 of Art. xi of the constitution provided that "corporations may be formed un der general laws, but shall not be created by special laws, except for municipal purposes." A county being a municipal corporation, it is clear that the Legislature then had the power to create new counties. As amended that section reads, Corporatloni may be formed under Re lie nil laws, butshsll not be created by the Legislative Assembly by special law. There can be no doubt about the meaning of this language, taken in connection with the old provision of the constitution. It definitely and clearly takes from the Legisla ture the power, which it previously had, of creating an) new municipal corporation, whether it "be county or city. There is no use quibbling over this matter. Redmond should get the consti tution amended again if it desires to proceed along this line. Any way, why such nervous haste? Redmond won't blow off the map before the railroads come. Then adjustments can be made for the greatest good of the greatest number. Several counties will eventually occupy the territory now embraced in Crook county, llut the voters of the area affected will not consent to be thrust aside entirely in the interest of special real estate booms, as the experience of Redmond proves. chicken is the maximum rancher's loss from coyotes. The sheep men are the only considerable sufferers. The question, then, resolves itself into whether the best Interests of the county nt large are being served by the extermination of the coyote. To The Bulletin it looks like good money going for n bad cause. "My kingdom for a Hughes!" pathetically moans the G. O. 1 from its sick bed. That is, the saner element of said disorganized organ ization devoutly desires ttie advent of the New York utan, or his politi cal equal, if such there is. Trouble is, however, that the "astute politi cians" of aforementioned pirty have out Hughes safely out of danger of doing good in fact, beuched him, if the pun be permitted. And this time they've done a good job, for from the Roosevelt fiasco they have learned a better lesson. No more will they attempt to bury a man by giving him the Vice Presi dency, as they did Theodore the elusive. Supreme Court judge ships are more fashionable and safer. So now it is discovered that the Home Rule amendment to the Ore gon constitution is unconstitu tional. A deputy city attorney of Portland finds that the word "ex clusive" is what makes the trouble that the state cannot abdicate its power to provide police regulation by delegat'ng ft "exclusively" to minor political divisions. Here is certainly ground for argument. It ts a question lor tne lawyers lo struggle with. The Portland city attorney himself will not "stand for" any such statement, or any statement whatever on the subject, until called upon through the reg ular channel for an opinion. PUDLICBUSINBSSSHOULDBEOPEN If the purpose of the Common Council, or anybody else, in schem ing to enlarge the corporate bound ary of Bend, is to get the water, light nnd power plant within the city limits, why isn't the matter taken up openly and put through in a business-like way? That plant ought to be within the city limits, for protection and for taxation, (all of its revenue being derived from this city) and a move in that direction would encounter very little op position. If the move for enlargement is merely an incident in a "frame-up" for a franchise grab it is quite an other thing. The public is entitled to information on this point. It is the duty of public officials to let light upon all such business. These officials are not the masters but the servants of the public. De vious, mysterious, underground scheming by little cliques or spe cial interests is not proper dis charge of public business. Moreover, the people will not "stand for" such misuse of public functions for private benefit. Hence the Council, having marched up the hill, like the celebrated army in Flanders, marches right down again, and is now just where it started in this matter. Since water has been taken out on the "desert" for irrigation the birds do not flock to the river to drink and bathe in the fall as they used to do. Formerly clouds of pinyon jays, blackbirds and rusty grackles, gross beaks, robins and tanagers were at the river early every morning in October and No vember and had great sport there, fraternizing most sociably. But they do not come any more. The renson Is so obvious that there is hurdly room for argument. And there is 110 doubt that the change can be effected openly and fnirly for all if npproached as such matters of business ought to be. But it must be done soon. Autumn Day. The autumn ilnys Are leaving us, With all their golden cheer; The joyous hour we love o well, Of all the gladnomc year. The tiny we spend lit wandering free Through woodland brown and red, Where ripening nuts Imng threateningly In tree tops overhead. Where the song bird triltt hi farewell note, From his perch in the tree-top high, And we note the o.tll o( the wild duck's brood A swiftly southward they fly. The little brook i whitperlng tow, As It speeds to its occmii home, f Of the cruel ice tint will bind its tide, When the winter ilays have come. The yellow corn Is gathered in And safely stored away; While in the mow, in fragrant heaps Is the new-mown clover hay. The apples are plucked from the or chard trees, And placed In the cellar below, Where the pumpkin pics and the tuluce meat, too, Stand on the shelf In a row. We see the snow clouds swiftly scud Across the leaden sky. We'hear the wind speak sharp and clear Ol the winter Hut's iirawlug nigii. Dm ere the autumn dars depart, While yet they atill delay; They give us one remembrance sweet, Our gladsome Thanksgiving Day. t)ict.tA Wilson Nichols. Bend's water supply should be taken from the river above the city. KKPORT OK TIIH CONDITION OH The Deschutes Banking & Trust Co.

The wisdom of such a disbursement of be county's funds seems very doubtful. Many ranchers have expressed themselves strongly against the bounty, .main taining (hat rabbits do far more damage than do coyotes, and that the extermination of the latter means a growing pest from the former. Youug fruit trees, garden . truck and grain are ravaged by the bunnies, whose numbers are in. creasing each year. An occasional J sfl (I
