A Number of Contractors
have called on us this week with reference
to building: a number of cottages in Bend.
We hope to be able within a short time to
arrange for the building of a number of
houses, as we know the present lack of ac
commodations, and many houses will be
needed in the early spring.
The people of Bend should do every
thing in their power to encourage the im
mediate building of a number of houses,
otherwise the people coming there and find
ing no accommodations will move to other
towns.
Bend is the best known town In Ore
gon today, and a vast number of people
are figuring on moving there in the spring.
AH our offices are reporting largely increased business,
and the future never looked brighter.
