AN AI'l'KUCIATION,
Editor Hulletin:
I wish to express to you my
thanks and appreciation of your
paper last week, containing as
it does a truthful, clear and
interesting description of our
great celebration on Railroad
Day. 1 have read it carefully
with my mind's eye on the
effect it would make on the
friends "back East." and 1 am
proud and pleased to send as
many papers as I can afford to
buy to the friends there. I
just wish the parade could have
been illustrated in colors. To
me it was wonderful and ex
pressed the whole thins, but I
suppose no one who had not
lived in a new and desert land
could appreciate it as wc do.
The exhibit was not such a
surprise to me, for 1 have seen
how things grow in here.
Yours thankfully,
A WOMAN RANCHER.

DEMAND NRG PROTECTION
The disastrous fire- Thursday i
served to remind Rend people who ,
own buildings that their property is
at all times imperiled from fire.)
The utter inadequacy of the means i
provided by the City Council was
laid bare. With another line of
hose and a hydrant at Nevada and
Bond streets with which to connect
it, the volunteer firefighters could
have stopjwd the blaze Thursday
before it swept away two of the
three buildings which it destroyed
and threatened the whole business
district.
With characteristic lack of zeal
for the welfare of the the town, the
council has done almost nothing in j
the way of providing adequate
means of fighting fire. Since the
first of January over $100,000 has
been put into new buildings in the
town, both business and residence.
The business men have asked for
the installation of new hydrants at
various places and other means of
protection, but have not got them.
In May the council ordered a
hydrant placed at the corner of
Nevada and Bond streets, near
where the fire occurred last week.
On August 29 it had not been in
stalled and the council voted again
that it be placed immediately. To
day there is still no hydrant there.
Thnt is the way the council docs
"business." Some of the council
men, It is true, have had the inter
cats of the citizens at heart, but
have been blocked by others in the
body who seem opposed to all
progress. It is not necessary to
mention names, as most of the
people of Bend know about where
each councilman stands.
Not only business property, but
residences as well are unprotected
from fire. In Park Addition and
other parts of the city have recently
been built a number of homes that
are a distinct credit to Bend. In
the cvont of fire, only a small lawn
hose would be available for fighting
the flames. There are no hydrants
anywhere near, and every foot of
hows in the city would not bo long
enough to convey water to tho
burning building.
The leading taxpayers are "up in
arms" and demand that something
be DONE not merely ordered.
They declare their demands are just
and must be granted. Not merely
one or two have raised their voice,'
but all of them.
RAIL AND WATER TRAFFIC
It has I eco-ne distinctly fashion
able for editorial 'writers who
haven't the misfortune to own
dividend paying railroad stock,
periodically to take a whack at the
transportation companies. Usually
the thoughtful activity of tho re-1
former scribe takos the direction of
demands for "regulation": rogula-j
tion of the common carriers in f
nearly every conceivable direction '
and by nearly every concoivable
agent.
All well and good, to a certain
degree. The railroads, like other
large commercial organizations, are
in business not for their health or '
"PERSISTENT HI:M SPIRIT. "

for that of their patrons, the public. of Uje com)iotjon uf the ruul wit),
Wherefore it behoovotr the public to cvcry .Mwii,c consideration. ,
safeguard its own interests to the
best of its ability. The question
which occurs to us is not whether J
all the howling at the railroads, and
demands for their stricter legislative
regulation, actually accomplishes
good or harm; for even wise heads
who unblushingly state that they
understand the benefits accruing to
the country at large from the
blessed Payiic-Aldrich tariff would
be baffled in seeking an answer to
such a riddle. Not that; but why
not turn a little regulation upon the
water transportation companion, if
the railroads are to re nain such a
universal targot?
Thore are vowels doing businosi
between Puget Sound ports. There
are vossels freighting along the
Columbia and Willamette rivers,
and between Pacific and Atlantic
ports. All are conducting a trans
portation business in competition
with the railroads. To be sure, the
volume of their tonnage may be in
significant in comparison with thqir
land rivals. Yet the principlo re
mains identical.
A railroad expends an enormous
amount in establishing its lines. It
is a fixture. It cannot quit when
business is dull. Every day it must
carry out its schedules; year in and
year out it must maintain its re
pairs and pay interest upon its in
vestments. On the other hand, a steamboat,
with the tremendous advantage of
an absolutely free "track," with no
investment aside from its own
actual cost, is allowed absolute
freedom. When trade picks up in
certain localities the steamers are
free to step in and reap what profits
they can while the good times last
They can come and go as they
choose, so far as tho restrictions of
their native element permit, with
tariffs never stable, with schedules 2

and with all the unlimited insta
bility and carefreeness that
characterized the railroads of a
generation ago.
A pessimistic prophet who chose
to seek such sights in the economic
crystal of the future might predict
that the time is coming when more
attention will be directed to the
rivals of the railroads than to the
railroads themselves, provided tho
latter still remain upon the face of
the earth.
