Why docs Uend impress visitors m a "difrcrent" city? Of course thin is winter; but we wouldn't know it if it were not for the almanac. An exceptioHHlly attractive c.ih hing offer of The Bulletin with the Portland-Orcj;oriian apixrurs on the last pfljjc of this paper. Madras must be a i;ood town or t couldn't afford to pay f 15 a cord for wood. At the same time, such B'i expense is one that even a good to.vn might wish to avoid. Nevada is the last one of tie states to make public Rumbling "a crime. A law against betting on games of chance has gone into fcffect there. Now there is no state 'in the Union in which gambling is not outlawed as an .offense against .public policy as well as good morals It may be wise on the part of the postal service to refrain from re routing the Crook county mail scr xlx this winter. There is room for vast improvement, of course, but it is improbable that the horse stages .will do much better in the few months remaining before the railroad comes. The assertion is sometimes made that the railroad bridge now build tag across Crooked river is the highest in the world. This is not quite true, for the bridge at Garabit, France, is 401 feet above the water of the Truyere river. The high bridge on the Cincinnati Southern railway near Danville, Ky., and the Kunzia Chasm bridge on the Erie near Bradford, Pcnn., are a little more than 300 feet high, and the Niagara suspension bridge swings 245- fct!t ' above the river. Trie Crooked river bridge, 350 feet above the water, is believed to bt the highesr in this country. Bend is the standard for com pirison in Central Oregon, as wit ness the following, which started in the Portland Orcgonian some weeks ago and is still traveling through the wide-awake pres: Although at prctcnt it i nothing more than a dot in the blueprint of the new road, Matoliut prouiiie to became one of the ruoit important townt in Central Oregon, even rivaling Uend, the term) nua of the Oregon Trunk. Come on Metolius! Come on Madras, Kedmoud, La Pine, Cres cent and all, the rest of the railroad string, as well as those not on the railroad! Let's join in. a pull for the general good Everyone will get his due when all prosper. Smoot of Utah has a bill, said to embody the views of Secretary Ballinger, whereby Congress would confer upon the states the right to control water powers within tbeit borders. As matters now stand the states have the water powers, Le cause tbey have title to the water in the streams, but many of tin power sites are on government laud and the power can not be used lo advantage independent of the lanr. rThc Smoot measure pioposes to give such lands to the states. In such case the states would not hate the right to sell the laud, but could leue for reasonable periods. But it is not probable that the bill will - pass at this session, particularly in 'U view of the hostility to Ballinger. , SCHOOL EXITS. The destruction of the school bniliing at Hexburg, Idaho, re cently, again calls attention to the ; inefficient means for escape in so many of the schools. Very re cently, members of the School Board bad authorized the construction of , Jf rear entrance to the school. The . games were first discovered under - rthe main entrance, and quickly w 'shut off escape iu that direction. ' J olir'school building at present has but one entrance, and should a tire ever Rain such headway ns to prevent the pupils from using this ns nn exit, there might be many latnlatics. At Rexbutg 618 pupils left the building iu three uiiuutci by the rear entrance, believing that they were having n fire drill, yet I lie single drill that was held iU the Bend school this ) car required at most five minute). RAILROAD DliVliLOPMUNT POLICY. While there is nothing sensation al in the new railroad announce ments for Central Oregon, they contain evidence that the field is not to beneglejcled. The Oregon Trunk will build beyond Bend, of course, but not immediately. The Dechutes Railway wilt: continue from Redmond through Bend to a juuclig.n with the Natron Kluttuith line al Crescent, hut ug ilutc is set. These statements officially confirm previous unofficial information. They alsb very definitely confirm the Understanding thut the railroads are bound to develop Central Ore gou on a large scale. . Bend vill profit greatly from the halting of ruilroud progress here lor a time; ho doubt of that. But it should prefer to see railroad con struction go forward as speedily as possible, for general development of the country will mean mure iu the long run. Bend will thrive as this region becomes settled and tie veloped. A narrow, selfish policy of self-aggrandizement will not do for Bend. This town . must stand fur the broader, wiser policy of gen cral development for the entire Central Oregon empire. We have 110 use for the fatuous prayer, Me mill my wife, My son Joint luttl III tvite, t'n lour mill no more Oood I.otd do thou blcM, But if. in the working of the foices upon which progress so much depend, Bend should for ft time be n railroad terminus, we must null shall tiiiikc the best of it. If Slum iko hud, during the years it hus Ikcii the shipping point for Central Oregon,., had the use of such re sources us the timber, agriculture dud power about Bend it would now undoubtedly be the second city iu Otcntiu. If the railroads force the shipping of the inter tor region to Bend 11 ml we do not use our great itdvautaue of location to build here u town thnt will help'lhc country well ns gutlur riches for itself, we shall miss a great oppor tunity mid s.iuc other city' will b the Centra! Oregon metropolis. School Notes. The school library now has 170 books, ol which ,t have been re tained for the use ot the high school. These books have till been catalogued so that they may have better enre than they have had heretofore. Stephen Steidl visited the high school last Wednesday afternoon. Miss Wooley hasleen enrolled in the sophomore class of the Bend High School. School will resume next Monday. It is hoped that everyone wtll be there nromnth" after their week's location, and ready for hard work. Ft.illno floola to Hopl.
