Jntncs J. Hill, the man who has done most for
Central Oregon, will be our guest on October 5, and
a tremendous crowd will be within our city. It
therefore behooves every loyal citizen of Bend to be
stir himself mightily. We can and we will if I
everybody does his part make this a celebration
worthy of the great event it will commemorate. Let
everyone write friends inviting them to attend.
Decorate your homes and business houses, cleanup,
your back yard and let's show visitors "BEND THE
BEAUTIFUL." Every man, woman and child should i
do his duty. I

two of tho town's nowspaHrs:

Some of tho newspaper of Con

faster than their own towns. Take

CliNTRALORUOON MAILS.
Mail service in Central Oregon
hns long leen the acme of irregu
larity and uncertainty, but it seems
to be getting even worse. Whore
the trouble is or who is to blame, it
would probably take several Sher
lock Holniescs to determine. Uncle
Sam has ever been stone deaf to
any entreaties for improvements,
nnd the long-suffering public must
continue to boar all sort of un
necessary delays, some of these
often causing loss of money.
To illustrate in regard to the dis
patch of mails: A few days ngo
we received a letter from the Har
ney County News saying copies of The
Bulletin of August '23 nnd 30 reach
ed there the evening of September
6. These papers were mailed here
at 6 o'clock on the 23rd and 30th,
respectively, going to I'rineville and
from there by stage. Editor Dnvoy
wrote to send them out to the main
line and around by Uaker.
Again: On Saturday, the 16th.
copies of Uie Lakeview Examiner of
September 7 were put in the
boxes of subscribers at Bend.
Two weeks for mail to go from
Bend to Burns, nine days for mail
to come from Lakeview to Bend.
That's going some. But what's the
use to "kick"? An inquiry or a
protest to the I'ostoffice Depart
ment would be replied to about
January 15, 1912, and then would
propably say: "Matter has ' been
referred to proper authorities for
investigation," a polite way of say
ing: "T'ell with the Central Oregon
people."
That's the way our dearly beloved
Government does business in the
I'ostoffice Department.

A new state manual of the course
of study for the elementary schools
of Oregon has just been issued by
Supt. Alderman of the State Educa
tional Department. A number of
improvements have been made in
the old state course. "An even
distribution of the work among the
eight grades is the sjecial aim of
this course," says Mr. Alderman,
"so that each grnde can easily com
plete its assignment in one year.
The effort has also been made to
preserve harmony in each subject
by grades, so that there will be no
break between the fourth and fifth
grades, nor between the sixth and
seventh grades, tho two places
where omissions are most likely to
occur."
Tilings seem to have Iwcome
