THE TUUTH, KTC, Emanating from Its tendor regard to the unrarnlshcd truth. The Spokes man of Itedmond publishes a rather hysterical but well Intentioned out burst under tho caption of "Wildcat Advertising." Tho calwa belli meaning, the bone that fot stuck In tho Itedraond edi torial throat-U tho fact that some exaggeraed statements regarding Bend wore published la a Los Ang eles papor. The Dulletln agrees with the critic thai such advertising Is harmful to the country; also, It Is confident that there Is enough and to upare o first class copper riveted truth right hero In Dond to supply the most grasping advertiser with ammunition, without any excursions Into the realm of fancy and falsehood Therefore It, too, regrets that the Los Angeles enthusiast told lies, sim ply adding that It knows that said lies were the unauthorised action of Botnoone who had lots to soil and did not have senso enough to employ lrorer methods. Hut, In Its zealous effort to clcanso the goddess of truth, tho Redmond paper It modii, sroes rather out of Its way to do a little exaggerating. It self. If It wasn't for tho fact that a tinge of dyspeptic sour grapes ap jHsara to lurk beneath the four-column dissertation, It wouldn't bo worth whllo to go further. Dut. by way of correction, we venture to call Attention to the following, believing that It is a rery shorUblghted pot Jthat calls a kettle black. The Spokeataaa says Dend Is 20 ycara old. There was, we believe, one or two settlers at 'The Dend- previous to 1900, but careful search .falls to reveal the fact that there over were more than a doxen humans lore, for any length of time, before 1901. It one family comprises a "town" in the Judgment of Tho Spokesman, perhaps Dend will have to plead guilty Xo a decrepit middle age. "What would any sano man think of paying $200 to 1250 for lots In a town of leas than 1500 population?" Is a lament offered by Tho Spokes man. The Dulletln humbly believes the answer Is that the man who fail ed to buy, at such terms, In some towns, is several kinds of a fool. Also, dt may be well to remind our brotheiu to tho north that so mo of us. In palmy days not so far gono ly. have paid even such fabulous prlctrt for lots but a stone's throw Irom Tho Statesman's own editorial sanctum. Nor are we entirely sorry. "The wildest imagination would hardly give Uend more than 3 to 5 per cent of Crook county's lumber output In future years." Oh, dear! And there Is a lot more ltko that, ono learned 3enter.ee remarking, In effect, titut tho largest M-wmlll in Crook county cuts only 20,000 feet of lum bar a day while any ono with the sumption to And facts can learn that one Dend mill cuts 30,000 feet every day, and Just now Is running a night uhlft as well, doubling tho output, while another mill outs in excess of 20.004 feet dally. "The thermometer In Dend has ranged from 10 to 22 degrees below zero every winter for the last ten or 'twelve yeas at least." The lowest temperature recorded here last win ter by the government thermometer was S decrees below. Dut w Hat's the use? "There Is so much good In the worst of us, . . 1 And so much bad fn the.bcat of us,' That it little behooves any of us To xatft a&aut the rest of us." A 1VOWI TO THE WIHK, Tho following Is an artlclo that re cently appeared In Tho Ttmbcrman of Portland: Thoro Is no sot of men engaged in nny lino of business effort who Kivo moro and receive less in the way of compensation than tho editor of tho ttvorngo country newspaper. He Is expected to bo tho mouthptcco and pergonal organ of every entire- In which his community Is Interested. It rarely ever happens when a local organisation for mutual benellt of tho town In which ho lives is to bo form- oil bv a fow live. nronresilVo. but of' ten very thrifty cltltons, that tho cost of tho necessary and absolutely os sentnl publicity is paid to tho local editor. Ho Is supposed to bo n chari table megaphone and too often he Is tor anybody or anything that hap pens along. Tho local morchant otton feels that tho small monthly pittance doled out In oxchungo tor a geuoroua adver tising space. Is like money donated to any charitable institution orphan asylum or homo for tho feeble-minded. It rarely occurs to tho local mer chant, Irrespective of whether ho In a dry goods morchant, grocer or lo cal retail lumber dealer, or simply nn Individual who has decided that mer chandising consists in buying n fow goods and marking up n price with out regard to quality or previous con dition of servitude And this Is of ten too often tho typo of merch ant ho has to doal with. To succeed, tho avorago country newspaper msn has to be as wise as a serpent and harmless as a dovo. The plea of many of tho merchants against supporting the country news paper Is baaed upon tho theory that either everycuie In. the community knows the storo Is in existence, or tho big mall order houses of Sokane. Great Falls. Ullllngs. Bait Lako. Be- attlo, Tacoma, Portland, Ban Fran cisco. Minneapolis, Chicago, New York, or Paris, art Rotting tho busi ness, and hence advertising would be probably of little more valuo than a scronade at a funeral Tho editors of the Inland Empire met at Spokane on June 23, and or ganlxed an association of mutual helpfulness, at which It was the pleas ure of The Tlmberman editor to bo present. The resolution which hits tho nail squarely on the head' when a lot of maudlin sympathy is being ex tended to the mossback morchant. is to the point Here It Is: "Wo further believe that the mer chants of tho smalt cities and towns are In a measure responsible for the Inroads of the mall order bouses upon their trade. Having the advantage of Immediate and personal contact with their customers, they should, by adopting modern merchandising methods and thorough, Intellcgent and persistent advertising, be able to compete successfully with said mall order houses." The resolution also deprecates tho sending of money away to the various largo cities when tho goods can often bo purchased at home for less money believing that such a couise Is In imical to tho development and op building of the community. Sncu.l, reasonable and loglcat doctrine, but only country newspaper men who havo bled, suffered and died it -n the poignancy of grief and shedding of crocodile tears by the average mer chant who feels that his best Inter ests are often served by sending a va for his Job work, In dlroct contraven tion to the policy he Is attempting to carry out for the benefit of the loan and aptly Illustrating tho "differ ence twlxt tweedledum and twutl dee." This now brings us to tho.crut of this article; What tho lumber Man ufacturing Intorests owe to the coun try newspapers, and the policy the should pursue towards them. A recital of a fow of tho active campaigns which these powerful lo cal organs for molding public opinion have assisted to carry out to suc cess: The forest flro legislation of tho various Western states was made possible largely through their advo oaoy of tho cause. Without tho co-oporatlon of tho country nowBpapers the strong and vigorous public 'sentiment whloh sus tains tho efforts of the local stato for est fire associations, and the broad er and moro comprehcnKlvo work of tho Wcstorn Forestry and Conserva tion Association would not bo pos sible In the passage of the sptondld workman's compensation law now In erfect In the stato of Washington, the zeal and disinterested advocacy of tho country press was the renl domi nant power whloh forcod this meri torious plcco of humnne legislation through a nono too willing icgisia- turo. Hacked by the ambulance chasing lawyer, the casualty Insur ance company, which fattens at tho oxpense of the Injured workman on ono hsnd, and the Imperative necessi ties of the employer on tho other. Tho passage of similar lawn In tho various states can only bo mado pos sible through tho co-operation of tho countr ynowspapers. For reasonable and Just taxation laws affecting overy class of property, In national affairs the country newspapers of the states of Montana, Idaho, Washington, Oregon and Call fornla did their full sharo In tho pas sage of the amendment to the Inter state commerce act which guarantees to every shipper the right to be heard before bis rate can be advanced. A stable freight rate Is as essential to tho manufacturer as a stable curren cy. , In the passage of the Dorah Irri gation bond bill, providing for tho Issuance of $20,000,000 of bonds to complete the national Irrigation proj- THH BKND BUIJ.KTIN BUND, I BE COMFORTABLE HE WELL DIIESSED.

Irriga tion means more to the lumber busi ness of tho West than to nny other slnglo Industry. In this brief cursory rovlow of somo of tho measures which tho country press has sided, tho writer speaks with authority, as it came to hla hand to help creato tho sentiment which made posslblo tho enactment of much of this legislation. When labor troubles come and they come unbidden like a plague of locusts tho 1, W. W. hordq swept all before them for a time. The country press, always conservative, counseled the men to remain and work, and discouraged the movement In overy way possible. In financial crises In many a com munity the personal equation of the editor of tho local newspaper often scarcely known and little appreci ated has helped stem tho tide of disaster. Dut why continue? What can Iks dono by tho lumber Industry to repay and continue to de serve the support of theso bravoeoun try newspaper men who with often only a hatful of typo help fight tho battles? Ono word tells It all: Ad vertise, and advertlso liberally. Beo that every man Jack around tho mill and office subscribes for tho paper. Havo your Job ork printed by tho local press, whorover possible. If tho local newspaper oltlces aro not equipped to do tho work, let them handlo tho order. Tho big printers In tho city will pay a commission and In tlmo. aa tho community develops, the local plant will bo prepared to do the work; tint glvo him a chance nrst. Although the operations of tho lo cal Hoy Scouts havo been upon a small scale, they aro deserving tho highest praise, and cortalnly the camping trip taken by tho buys was an admlrablo enterprise, and those who mado It posslblo deservo much credit for the troublo to which they put themselves. If this outing haa taught a dozen Dend lads something about how to take care of themselves In tho open, how to keep camp and leavo clean camps behind them, how to caro for fires and tako precaution against their spreading, not t6 mon tlon the physical benoflts they have dorlved. It has proved Itself a valu ablo precedent.

(Portland Journal), Tho Ilend Dulletln gives nn Inter esting account of tho not profits of Ixm) IIolilw at hog ruining ou his farm at Powell Ilutt, Crook county. The First National Hank of Ilend Imported brood animals from Ne braska, and sold them on tlmo to farmers last December. Tho cost of Hobbs' five sows was $118. 60, and his note was given for the amount. Time nnd tho five sows havo pros- pored Mr. Hobbs. Ho has been of- loroa eigut ana ono-nair cents per pound for tho pigs from tho 11 vo ani mal. Had ho sold at tho flguro, the proceeds, after deducting tho cost of feed, would have left him (31C aa net profit, all mado without the out lay of a cont In cash for tho original stock. The flvo old sows aro now worth much more thnn tho $148. 00 which was paid for thorn. Tho Ilend papor says tho profits of Mr. Hobbs at tho business aro typical of tho re turns othor Crook county farmers havo reallzod from the hog business Introduced by the Dend bankers. Tho building up of tho Industry as it Is bolng dono at Hond by tho bank In co-operation with the farm ers is an oxample of public effort all kinds of bankers can woll afford td emulate. It has a counterpart in tho expansion of the dairy Industry through the inltlatlvo of bankers at Independence, Polk county.
