Too much snow, too cold, they say. Of course that's en. tlrcly natural, for oreryono growls about the weather, rvcrrwherc. On ly let these thine bo considered: How cold Is It, and has It been, In Chicago, New York, UufTalo. Detroit or lloston? How much snow has fall, en In these cities? How many Inches of rain have descended, and how many Inches of mud and "slop" will remain on the ground for several months to come? lit every ono of the cities mentioned, there have been days and weeks when the thermome ter has registered far below zero once this winter the mercury has got as low as zero at Hend. In all of them there has been an abundance of snow snow enough to mako Dend's several storms seem Insignificant. Jn all of them there will bo slush for many months to come, not to mention a February and probably a March re plete with zero weather, blizzards and uear-bllzzards. And closer to home one may consider the recent frosts that have devastated southern Cali fornia the "land whero It nexer freezes" or the almost unbroken niontbs of rain that our own West- cm Oreron and Washington cities are experiencing. Altogether, even a winter that is exceptionally dis agreeable for Hend Is none too bad, and decidedly good when compared with a vast portion of the Unite States. les thero lighting each other for im promncy -and yet unitedly lighting against the coming nt tho homestead r and tho poor worKlngmnit to their ranges. Thcao great firms thought they owned Centrnt Oregon. Tho man who wanted n little pleco of land for n homo was, according to their code, not only an intruder, but an un desirable cltlzon. "What right has n man to tnko up land If ho has no cnttlo to put on It? None; so wo wilt drive this fellow olT." That was tho theory of these men. It was n creod an old as tho open range. They aucceoded for a tlmo. Final y one ranch manager came to his dt-nth nt tho hands of ono of these t.iMgnMcnnt homesteaders. Ho was shot down on tho range with u dozer- of his range riders at hand. Yot nobody tried to prevent the killing or to arrest tho killer. "Tho system" had not boon conducive to making friends. Tho cnttlo king's hand wns against ovory man; every ntan'a hand wns against tho c.wtlo king and against his possessions. It his lite wns not Bate, how about his cattle on tho range? Did the set tlors over go hungry for meat Yes, often, for many of thoso settlers wcro beyond being driven Into dis honesty. Put many others argued that It was no crime to tnko meat from thoso who had moro than they needed. So they considered nil of the circumstances and helped them selves. Meptwhlle Mr. Hanlcy was plod- dins along, making headway slowly hut surely. Ho spent no tlmo wor rying about the big cattlo companies or tho big cattlemen. Ho was mighty busy endeavoring to bocomo a big man himself. In the course of evontn ho got an option on tho French-Glenn holdings, put In his own ranch and cattle, secured tho "00" (Double O) ranch and became a partial owner and the manager of this greater com pany bocatno the greatest factor In the cattlo business that Oregon has ever known. At tho very outset of his career as ranch manager Mr. Hantcy decided to make frlonds and co-workers of the small landowners and tho small cattle owners, and he set about to do It. An opportunity occurred very soon. Two of tho range riders came Into headquarters with tho hldo of n 2-year-old heifer with tho rcort that they had witnessed the killing and skinning of the bruto by a homestead er. The hide boro tho French-Glenn brand; thero wcro two reputable, wit nesses who would swear they had seen tho settler skin tho heifer bury tho hldo and then pack tho meat home. Mr. Hanloy told the riders to keep the matter to themsotvea cautioning them that It ho ever heard the mat ter mentioned ho would dlsohnrno thorn both. Thou ho took tho hldn to tho friend and neighbor who had committed tho deed. Driving up to his ranch Mr, Hanlcy throw tho hldo out and told tho oKomlor to burn It so thero would bo no evidence of tho crime, "And," went on Mr. Ilanloy, "whonevor you or any ot your neigh, burn nro out of meat, coiuo to mo. Don't kill n flno heifer Just como to me and I will liuvo tho boys kill n good beef for you. And remember. Hank, nobody knows anything nbout this tittle Incident, nobody over will know. You forgot It mid I will for get It and w will be just tho snmn good frlonds wo always have boon." "You onn't mnko yoiimolt big by making nnuthcr little." How true It Is? Hut It I wonderful how rap idly you will beciMno "lilt" by trying nt all times to nssttit othtn. That Is tho reason that M.. ttanloy Is not only n "big" man at home, but a big" man wherever ho Is known. I.lnt your fnmi and city property with me. I will muko nn tmitet olfort to ocll It. ('.

The Hend Uulletln ought to know what it is talking about when It discusses the proposed scheme for a survey of the Des chutes, through wnieh the state Is to be asked to appropriate 150,000 for cooperative effort with the United 8tates government; for The Ilultetin is printed along the banks .of the dashing Deschutes, and can see for Itself every waking hour that Its waters are all Its own, and that nobody has Interposed or offer ed the ollghtest successful resis tance to their progress. So far as The Uulletln Implies that The Oregonlan is supporting tho Deschutes survey schome, in volving a state appropriation of J 5 0,0 00, it Is uttorly mistaken. Tho Bulletin has seen nothing In The Oregonlan in any way Justifying Its complaint. To comfort the dis turbed soul of our too-excitable contemporary, wo would say that The Oregonlan is not at all con vinced that the expenditure by the state ot so large a sum for the sur vey of a particular project is war ranted. ' Such Is the substance of an edi torial In the Portland Oregonlan of January 19. The Uulletln Is delighted to learn that the Portland paper Is not sup porting tho proposed appropriation for the proposed Investigation. Nt un naturally, It supposed such support existed, basing the supposition on the fact that Tho Oregonlan devoted so much space to what seemed eulogis tic description of the enterprise. Now that rural carriers aro obliged to carry eggs under the parcels post, it Is said that the yolk is moro than many can bear. IMA, HANMIV'H WAY.

By paying that much more each month, this time next year your lot will be very nearly paid for and its value will be a great deal more than what you will be paying for it. Just as sure as there is no question as to the wonderful future and growth of Bend, so there is no question as to the great increase in property values in Lytle.
