HELP FROM SEATTLE.
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.

with which wo havo nothing to do,
nnd tho school tnxes, which aro set

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

Under fls protenL ownership, t

has rof.sod euch income simply be

lieve that advertising of this nature
limits tho freedom of n nowsimner

has preferred to avoid nny sucu

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

B.MALL-TOWN NEWSPAPERINO. .
Rcxarded In ono light, editing a
newspaper in a small town Is a weary
ing pursuit, full cf petty trials and
tribulations, hedged by Irritating
routine and woefully limited by the
tools one has' to work with.
Bat tboro Is another side, and, .is
ftsirt whan nnftmlnm In npt tin
against pessimism, it is tho better !
clde.
To enjoy sraMMown ncwepaperluB;,
then, it Is neqesary to get tbe right,
v'-ewilnt. Quit fretting because this
and that cannot be done, and this and
that must be done, and give your,
town and your roadors tho best thnt
ou have and tho bett your facilities;
nnd tncomo porm'ts. Make your I
paper a medium of healthy, optimistic
nows for your fellow townsmen and
a real news-Jotter of the development
of that town, sent out each week to
the hundreds elsewhere who aro
friends and part owners of your town.
Tboro Is a pleasant personal touch
to the work, much as if you address-!
ed yourseU directly to each of your,
loaders, telling them, with your own
enthusiasm for your community the'
facts about Its present and the logi
cal hopes for its future. :
When the small-town newspaper
represents a town such as Bend, and i
when Its constituency Is ono of Intel-1
Bgent optimists as is Tho Bulletin'.!;
- the pleasures of such newspaperlng '
vastly,, outbalance 1tsc disadvantages.
Ap) with patience, persistence an I
co-operative endeavor, soon enough
we shall hare such a city that tho
small-town newspaperlng will become
metropolitan newspaperlng which
