A STATEMENT OF FACTS IIWIIIM1BWWIIIIWIIM The individuals who own the Bend Water Light & Power Company have shown their confidence in Bend, by making substantial investments, which can succeed only with the success of the town and with the fair treatment of its citizens. They believe, also, that fair treatment will result if the citizens of Bend have a CLEAR UNDERSTANDING of the underlying facts. Misunderstanding breeds distrust. Distrust is likely to result in unfairness. 4 Ki w TIIK IIKNI) WATKIt LIOIIT & I'OWKK COMI'AXY IS AN OIIKROX COIIPOHATION, WITH A CAPITALIZATION OV $7.1,000.

With one single exception tho most respectful attention has been given to every word the professor has uttered. Ho has been piled with questions of vital Interest to the questioners, their families and their communities. He has answered, so far as posslhl., every question.

In somo places frost every month In the cur, In many places well water bo yond tho roach of a poor man It Is too truo that many settlers who have coino In here are up against a propo sition that is near the tragical point. "Wo visited uo place that I had not visited before. I had been at most of tho places a-nd In all of tho localities many times, both before and since the road came In, And let me say that It Is only those thus conversant with the facts who can appreciate the vast changea that have taken place all over this sec tion during the last four years. "And let It be said hero and now, that the advancement of the country as a whole, has been wonderful, 1 1 speak advisedly. I speak with the knowledge gained by being at one time a pioneer homesteader myself, I speak with the knowledge gained And ngnln I say that I wish to em phasize tho remark that tho pioneers who followed tho railroad Into this great Interior country, and thoso who camo In Just In ndvanco of tho rail roads, hava mado n better record than I evor saw pioneers do. "Lot It not bo forgotton that thoso pioneers havo In most cases n gigan tic task still beforo thorn. Let ua not closo our oyes to tho altltudo or tho temperature or the rainfall of tho country. Thoso homesteaders did not settlo upon garden spots; far from It. Hut let ma say that I nover u settlements mado up ot as good a class of peoplo as havo como Into this country. I mean ns to Intelli gence and Industry. Somo ot thorn havo accomplished and aro accom plishing miracles, or what look like miracles.

I do not mean that theso places surpass such old and wealthy places as Prlnevlllo, the old metrop olis of this entire section; but oven that staid and prosperous city must look to her laurels lest they be taken from her by a Dend, a Redmond, a Culver, n Madras, a Mctollus, a La Pino, a Tumalo or somo as yot un named place In this section. Professor 8haw has been proach Ing the gospel ot livestock and rota tion of crops. Uo has been telling the settlers how to sccuro pasturo for livestock nnd what sort of livestock to grow. lie has been teaching them how to consorvo the moisture and how to ubo that moisture In many localities (let us face the truth) thfB has been dllllcnlt, for the conditions here d Iff or almost as far as differs tho climate of Dakota and Arkansas, Hut Professor Shaw Is a man of wis dom and ho has mot every argument with that most convincing ot all ar guments "I havo dono It myself." From bucIi conclusions from such a man you cannot got away, "So I say, In conclusion, that In sending to theso troubled peoplo a man llko Professor Shaw tho railroad odlclals havo dono something that places them as heavy creditors to every section of this va Interior country.
