The Bulletin' Is sometime a'ccuseJ of, ovor-tealous boosting for Bend. But modesty compels ua to pass the laurels on to tho Seattle Time., whose issue of 'July 11 contains tho fjnjjwlng editorial. ' That Bend even tually will have a direct western out let" lo a seaport we do not doubt. ,1'J'ort of Sluslaw, located on the Oregon coast about midway between tbcColumbIa and the California line, la'gettlnr: ready to contost with Poit Ufadjfor tho rich trade of the WM lATuette and Deschutes. hey are projecting a rauroauj 52.000 in 1911 why need It cost so much more than one of these amounts to run n far smaller county? Tho fact U that t need not cost more Leaving aside the Rtnto tnx, with which wo havo nothing to do, nnd tho school tnxes, which aro set tled In each district and would bo th snmo In a now county as In tho old. tho question comes down to getter U county expenses. The flgurco show thnt they havo grown. Tho cost of running Crook county Is Increasingly great each year and one of the chief reasons for this Increase Is tho nlie of the coun ty coupled with Its recent growth In population. New residents scattered over a wldo area mean added cosla. The matter of mileage was mention ed hero last week. Another Horn of cost in Crook county that has been increased by increased population is election expense. Both theso ex penses havo grown and added their share to tho general cxpenso because of Crook county' alto. In a smaller county there would be a material saving under theso head' In otVcr words Deschutes count) with Its smaller area enn return 'a the lower general expooso that the parent county had In the years prior to 1912. The fact of tho matter Is, nnd the figures nbovo show It clearly, that an Increase In taxes Is to bo expected if tho county Is not divided, not If dl vision goes through. Interests nro few, companionship rntu and evening occupations scanty. The Library depends upon tho ouoroty of Its friends for theso inngnilnott, just ns the ontlro Institution" la sup ported by tho publlo spirit of.jloul cltlions nnd tho commcndnlilo activ ity of tho ladles who conduct It.

Tho Bulletin hui never boon n prohibition paper, but has rof.sod euch income simply be cause tho public !s Inclined to be lieve that advertising of this nature limits tho freedom of n nowsimner nnd colors Its views. Tho Bulletin has preferred to avoid nny sucu charge. In this issue, however, ap pears advertising Issued by anti-pro- hlbltlon Interests. It Is given space because It concerns an cconottilo-po- Utlcnl question to bo votod on In November. As this paper will accept prohibition advertising, nnd prohi bition news, Justice to our rcadors demands equal freedom to both sides. Tho City will got n thousand dol lars or so from Crook county, nnl School District No. 12 some $1500. becnuso an Investigation has beun mado by a local representative if county bookkeeping of tho past nnd such amounts found owing.
