thereby lessoning the state's nggres
shoncss. The Oregonlan then pro
ceeds to point out what seem to It
to be the shortcomings of Mr. Hill
nnd his railroad associates
Says the Oregonlr.n: "The Croat
Northern and the Northern Pacitlc
Interests a few Jcars ago combined
in a needless contest for supremacy
with tho Harrlman system In Cen
tral Oregon. Millions of dollars
were sunk In pure spirit of rivalry
in tho two Deschutes railroads. Mon
ey that should have been expended
In providing feeders for one trunk
lino was devoted to duplication of
trunk lines which reach but the edge
of n great and potentially rich area
unserved by transportation. It Is
because of superabundant energy
onco exerted by the railroads that
tho Strahorh project In Central Ore
gon Is. under tho co-operation of the
president of one of Portland's largest
banks, In Its Inception. It Is due to
a rallrond war not of Oregon's mak

more for Eastern Oregon."
That seems to us to bo an Inter

nnd error. Tho Oreganlan Is tnlk

"-"'' CLEAN UP AGAIN-.""
Every spring we make a lot of
stir about cleaning up. Tho city
goes to the expense of hauling rul
blsb awny from the alleys r-nd back
yards nnd usually passes r new or
dinance Intended to keep us cleaned
up tho rent of tho year. Wc are like
a small boy, who, having his face
washed early In the morning, thinks
It must stay clean the rC3t of the day
Unfortunately It does not do so
Conditions sre somowhat better
now since the city Is paying for gar
bage collection, that Is, we do not
eppear to bo so slovenly as wo once
did, but our habits are dirty, as Is
witnessed by tho collections of waste
paper and other material In the gut
ters on Wall street, partly thrown
there by passers-by and partly swept
out of tho stores. This last, by the
way, is a condition that would be
tolerated In no city of any size in
this country.
Lest spring we urged that we
clean up and keep cleaned up. If we
arc going to get that habit now
would be a good time to think of It
again. And nt the same tlmo It would
be a good plan to get after the weeds
before they all go to seed again.
Keeping down weeds Is a practical
way of showing your Interest in keep
ing the town clean.

to be shown how it has preented

The fact Is that Mr Hill was

relate to that section almost entire

Hill In turn and once there offers

section. It give this as the mason

A PROTEST.
To The Editor.
"Ho prep.-red" Is our motto, and
through what It teaches, we are try
ing to make good In tho community,
conscious nt tho same time, that one
of our principal laws Is "Honor." We
are 'expected to bo courteous to all;
ciders and superiors, but we feci that J
we have a grleranco In the matter
that wns written In tho locals of last
week's Pess.
nollerlng' that no man ought to
censure until ho has made an Investi
gation wo protest against being
"bawled out" for not baiting the
fly-traps that aro on the streest of
Ilcnd. The Hoy Scouts mado the
traps for tho "City Ueautlful Com
mittee" and then turned tbem over
to that .body. Who set tho traps
without bait, and two in one place,
the Scouts do not know Perhaps
"ye editor" could find out If ho wxuld

We are organlied for what good
wo can do to others, for ourselves,
and for the community, but we con
