When that was done our part was over tor the time being, the noxt step being the examination of tho project by tho Reclamation Sen ice as the preliminary to its decision on co-operating In tho work. The ex amination is now completed and tho engineer's report Is In the bands jf the Service. Public opinion cannot influence Its Qndlngs and recommen datlons. Facts on tho ground decldo these, but If the report recommends action every person In this region hope and urges that the action bo taken at once. L On the Tumalo Project on the oth-, or side of the Deschutes conditions are different The state Is compleU ing the first unit In a workmanlike manner, thanks to the abilities of Engineer Laurgaard, and will be through this fall. A second unit has Wen set aside for future work and the general expectation has been that the Reclamation Service would suit: ply the funds for IL We understand that tho project Is approved, that th$ funds are available at once. Tho community wants thin work done as much as It wants to see the North? Canal finished. Will the Federal ofi ficials take the desired action? WHAT MAKgS WOOL PWCES? 'Speaking of wool Tho Saturday Evuaing Pott says editorially: nav wool Is free of duty under the sew tariff. Naturally Importation-! of wool have Increased since the aot went, Into effect; but the price of wepl In the United States Is higher than It was a year ago, when the ariklo was subject to a heavy duty. The Journal of Commerce reports, la fact, that In oaly two years out of the last twenty-five have domestic wool prices been higher than at pres ent. Trade exports account for this phenomenon 611 the ground that there was an unusually extensive slaughter of sheep a year and a half ago by grpwers who expected that wool ynkeo would drop out of sight under the now tariff. If that theory is cor rpt the new tariff automatically cancelled Itsolf, 60 far as the present effect on wool prices is concerned. We all get exalted about polities some times, and lose sight of the large fact that, after all, legislation Is only ono actor among twenty. A GOOD AIlGUilBNT. Although not intended as an ar. gument for county division the fol lowing from The Redmond Spokes ina'n clearly indicates the diversity of interests la tho different sections of Crook county as well as suggest ing the conditions this side of the county must fact for the next two years if division fails: "It has been Intimated to The Spokesman that the attendance 'tSt the county fair at Prlffsvllle this! will be much reduced, frpra "former year's owing to the action that Coun ty Ji(?ge Springer and Commissioner ill llrown took In turning down county appropriations for fairs nt Redmond nnd Bistort). And President Ulan chard of tho county fair, who Is n candidate for county commissioner, comes In for a share of tho blnmo fof the non granting of tho abovo fair appropriation, according to itoino ro ports."

Tlic Bulletin Is constantly in re ceipt of nrtioles and communications of various, sorts with an accompany ing rcquoat to print. These range from praiso of tho local cllmnte to advice on tho mall order business, n two column dipping on this subject having Just been received.

In an exceedingly modest nnd tent perate advertisement of Its homo town and the surrounding country the Slaters Herald says: "Sisters Is makisg an attempt to support Its first doctor." We would not bo hard on tho modloal gentlamnn but wo can not refrain from oxprcssing the hope that the attempt falls.

The Europoan war situation re minds us of the old poem, "Austrian armies awfully nrroyod. Boldly by battery besieged Belgrade. Cossack commandors cannonading come Dealing death, destruction, doom." and so on to the end of the alphabet. The creamery was given a good start on Saturday. Now Ict'a boost It along.

PETITION NOW READY TO FILE (Continued from page 1.) the compilation of a now set of fig ures which have a striking bearing on the tax situation In Crook -county. Iast week's figures showed how tho amount of taxes had inorcased s'nee 1907. This new set takes tho Crook county tax for 1013 and compares It with that paid In 11 other Oregon counties In the same year. Valua tlons are nlro compared, some run ning above and somo below the Crook valuation. In every case, however, tho tax paid is smaller than Crook't. That Is to say. II Oregon counties In the year 1913 were able to conduct their affairs for amounts far below the Crook county cost, in somu cases for as much as one third less.
