CONSDEREQ
County Division
ON THE BALLOT nt the coming election will nppenr
the question of removal of the county seat from Prine-
- ville to Bend, nnd the
Deschutes county from Crook county. Two years ago a
division campaign was waged and more than 00 per cent of
the voters in the proposed Deschutes county voted in favor
of division. As soon as Bt)nd
growth it was generally agreed
carry if the necessary 85 per cent vote could be assured from
the east side. When an attempt was made to obtain this
assurance Bend met with evasion and double crossing of such
nature that a removal of the
possible methad or bringing to
and was entitled to, that is, a
local bill was initiated to remove the county seat from
Prineville to Bend.
Later, assurances were received from representative
citizens of the east side that the necessary 85 per cent vote
could be obtained if division were undertaken and it is how
ncrreed that Deschutes unty will receive much more than
the 85 per cent vote needed from Prineville and the rest of
the east side, it is apparent also mat the necessary 05 per
cent vote will be cast in Deschutes county. In fact, the
certainty that the vote would be favorable has produced an
apathy which has led some to ask if the Lame were dead.
The issue is not dead. It is very much alivej ps is anything
-which the people want ,
In the few weeks remaining before election certain
aspects of the division question will be discussed here, par
ticularly that of taxation, which is one of the most impor
tant and most misunderstood. Division is the question.
County seat removal will be voted down. Get ready now to
mark your cross against removal and for division.
STATE AND CITY HEALTH
AUTHORITIES ON CAMPAIGN
Wnnt Danger of Pollution of Den
Chutes by Rltcr Front Kcsl-
dents llcmotcd At Omo
Drastic mensures are to be taken
by state and city health authorities
to remoto the present danger of pol
lutfon of the water of the Deschutes
by banishing from the rler shore tho
out houses and refuse piles which
hnvo boon collected In tho past year.
In the beginning owners and accu
pants of the river front property will
bo warned and given tlmo to clean
up their premises and thereafter
..8(.who fa" t0 nced tho warning
will be prosecuted under tho Des
chutes pollution statute passed by
the 1911 legislature.
In carrying out this campaign Dr.
.n ' RoberK' "tote health officer,
of Portland was here for several days
last Week. Sncaklni? nf Innnl nnnill.
tlons Dr. Roberg said that they were
worse than In any othor place ho
knew In thestoto and his work takes
him around rather extensively. City
Health Officer Coe has done his best
to improe conditions, but public sen
timent Is not sufficiently strong to ob
tain results. One offender was tried
while Dr. Roberg was here and fined
S25. He loft 12 complaints and de
positions which nre to be used In
trials as soon as Deputy District At
torney Krsklno returns to town. Tho
council will also bo nsked to pass an
ordinance requiring septic tanks on
river lots.
Whllo here Dr. Roborg also de
scribed tho workings of the model
registration law now In effect In Or
egon under which all births and
deaths are reported to a local regis
trar and by him to the state board
of health. In this manner tho stato
board Is able to keop in touch with
hoalth conditions all over tho state.
Tho local registrar Is Dr. U. C. Coo,
who haq appointed as his assistant
Dr. Dwlght F. Miller.
Dr. Roberg said that the town
should do everything In Its powor
to protect the Deschutes water shod,
staling that tho opening of Crane
Pralrlo would bo a great mistake.

ways to tho first mill aud will nil go
through tho trimmer of the first mill.
As the forco of men In the woods

Increase the logging force about one
third by the employment of mora
than 100 men. A night force will bo
emploed on the logging road. Fifty
new logging cars have boon ordered
and are expected to arrlvo buforu the
