FROM BEND
'Was Asked For Currying Mall on
flcndHurnK Iloud to HtuufTcr,
Eliminating Former Roundabout
Journey Through Prluevilte.
Efforts made by the Rend Commer
cial Club to bring the town Into
closer communication with the home
stead country, by obtaining direct
mall connections, thereby doing away
-with the minntutol arrangement of
-sending mail to points on the Bend
Hums road by -way of Redmond and
Prlnovlllc, havo at lent succeeded,
aa Is Indicated by a notice posted In
tho local post office calling for bids
to- carry the mall between Ilend and
Stnuffor by way of Mllllcan, Brothers,
Imperial, Hampton nnd Rolyat.
Mall now goes over tho route as
far as Brothers, points beyond there
having hitherto been served from
I'rlnovlllo, although Bond has been
tho railroad point and trading center
for the wholo section. Realising this
condition n commltteo from the club
consisting of George 3. Young, II, C.
Bills and V. C. Coc has been working
to obtain a through mall route for
nearly two years, assistance also be
lng received from the localities to be
served. The success which has now
crowned their efforts, morks eno of
the most important achievements of
tho club,
Tho contemplated change In tho
mrll routo to Stauffer and tho sched
ulo, According to tho notice posted
hero s as followu:
From Ilend by Mllllcan, Brothers,
Cp.puty; .Division :
The chief argument used by the opponents of county
-division- is that division is bound to increase taxes. That
was the Redmond argument two years ago, although admis
sions made since disclose the fact that the real objection was
the proposed division lines. And though the real objection
this year is the line between Redmond and Powell Butte, the
argument will be taxes.
IF THIS IS NOT SO, WHY DID REDMOND MEN
COME TO BEND LAST JUNE AND PROMISE TO SUP
PORT DIVISION IF SATISFACTORY LINES WERE
DRAWN?
But since the argument will be taxes let as consider
taxes, using the same material that was used two years ago
and never controverted.
The taxes you pay are made up of the tollowing:
State tax,
School District tax.
City tax (if you live in Bend or Redmond)
County tax,
The state tax, the school district tax, the city tax, all
sire unaffected by division. They will be the same in which
ever countv they are levied. They will go up or down, de
pending on whether the state, the school district and the
city spend more or less, but division will not influence them.
The only possibility of increase is in a portion of the
county tax, because of duplication of offices, "payuiR two
t: of officers instead of one." That is the whole argument
and the answer is plain, namely, in the new county the ex
pense need not be the same. The standard on which Crook
onuntv affairs is conducted is not the standard for the other
,.nnriH! of the state. Court

county is not necessarily the same as that of the one from
which it is divided. What it is depends on what the people
through their officer?, want to make of it.
And there should not be forgotten the indirect tax

Announcements ot the erection of
large nnd permanent business blocks
In Bend, however pretentiously theso
announcements may bo displayed In
the columns of local and outside
newspapers seem now to be common
place so frequently and regularly
are they being made of late.
But just follow nn arrival Into
Bend some early morning from the
train one who probably is looking
over tho field with the prospect of
locating here and you will doubtless
gain some Idea of tho Impression
others hove today upon enterlug Ore
gon's fastest growing city.
Odds nnd ends of conversation
picked up here und there in hotol
lobbies. In business houses, In chats
with outside people express best how
Bend Is looked upon by outsiders.
l'The only towu'lir the stato thut
is doing things,- one wag uearu to
say.
Impossible to get n place to lo
cate. Everything full," said another.
"Tho most talked about town In
tho northwest," still another slid.
"Bond ia coming to Its own," wus
also heard.
"Some different village thau two
years ago."
"Never dreamed there was such a
town In Central Oregou."
And whon one aska why these im
pressions stand out so clearly, one Is
Immediately met by the reply. "Sen
these fine buildings going up. You
can't sea anything like it in any other
town In the stato thn slzo ot Bond
or many times Bend's size."
One of these arrivals was escorted
around for n few hours tho other day.
Arrival Sfn SlghU.
"See that building there," tho guide
directed. "A little more than a year
ago a land mark stood upon that
valuable property In the name ot the
Bend Hotel. It was a framo build
ing and was destroyed by fire. August
31 last year. Shortly after the llro
the ground was cleared of' the debris
and announcement was made by
Hugh O'Kane, former proprietor of
the hotel, that he would ertct a brick
and concrete building upon till site,
to be occupied by 11 rms In various
llneA of buslneHg, professional men,
and a movie theatre It will be
ready for occupancy by the middle
of this month and It Is expected that
all tenants will bo settled ! Novem

holds first place among thn buildings
In Bend will cost approximately
JlD.000 when complete."
"That's very fine, the new arrival
said, "but what will be the effect
after the&e tenantH movo Into their
new quarters. Will there- not be
several store rooms vacant about
town?"
"Have )ou made Inquiry, sir, for
avallablo quarters on or after Novem
ber K"
"No," was the reply.
"There Is no doubt that jou will
find difficulty In obtaining ea thrse
vacated rooms, as they all are taken
up, and there Is a strong demand for
others," the arrlral was told wllh per
fect candor.
"Now, may I ask what U the Im
posing structure, down tbU street,"
inquired the arrival.

"That U tho new home of the

Then the arrival wuh guided to
ward his hotel, ub It was almost noon.
On his way he found several tenuis,
a large crew of men, und u steam
drill busily engaged in scooping n
hole out of the ground.
"Now what Is this activity," said
ho.
"That Is tho expression of fnlth
which a Vancouver. 11. C. mnn,
Philip Brooks, litis In Bend. .Mr.
Brooks came down here some months
ago und became nttracted by Its ac
tivity and promise tor thu future.
Ho began to plan this hotel which Is
now begun. This structure when
completed, will be known r.s thn Now
Pilot Butte Inn, nnd sooner or later
will completely take the place of tho
losi pretentious structure und pro-
vltytftwodcrn .wnvenlences for the
traveler and tourist. Its cost will bo
approximately $G0,000."
After his lunch the nrrlvnl was
escorted to other parts or town,
"I note," ho said "thnt another
basement Is being excavated over
there," pointing to thn ground form
erly occupied by the Cozy Restnurnnt.
"That, too, looks promising."
"That ground," ho was told, "will
be occupied by a modern concrete
brick hotol, nnd will bo occupied by
tho Cozy Restaurant The structure
will cost approximately $10,000."
"This town Just seems to bo shot
full of holes," the nrrlvnl Joktngly
advanced ' n ho wa taken down
Ilond-Street.
Nw Block Occuple Corner.
"The building on the left here will
bo erected by ,D. Sphler, who camp
to Bend from Los Angeles ono day
and almost Immediately became In
fatuated with tho town, purchased
business property, and announced his
Intention to build a brick buslnoss
block occupying this corner. The
building will be constructed of cronm
clay brick, also something now for
this town. Tho first Hoora wilt be
occuplod by store rooms and the
second floor divided Into modern
rpartmente," the arrival was further
Hilvlseil. "It will cost $30,000."
' I will also call your attention to
the large warehouse across tho way.
That building was recently completed
by thu Bend Hardware Company nt n
cost of about Jl',!i00. Tho structure
further down was built ! AugUHt
Nelbon.
"Now we will go on tho othor
Surest." tho guide suggested. "K. M.
Thompson occupies thn building you
see to the loft. Mr. Thompson wus
formerly n renter, but found Ills busl
nk growing to such qn extent that
he decided to build a new business
home. That structure cost approxi
mately $5,000.
P. W. Brown, erected this build
ing which was rented sometlmo bo
fore It was completed. This struc
ture cost approximately 13,000, The
structure which adjoins It Is nlso ot
recent construction. The Warner
Company now occupies It and are also
the owners. This building also cost
approximately $3,500. I must not
overlook tho Hippodrome further
down Wall Street. Bend bad been
crjlng for a general gathering and
amusement place for months before
Mr and Mrs. O. W. fihriner an
nounced their Intention to build this
brick building. The structure was
rushed to completion and cost ai
proxlmately $10,000. Also. I might
call your attention to the new build
ing of O. W. Horner further down
Bond Street. Mr. Horner's building
cost about $1,000. -
Tpon the rear of this building
facing us, occupied by Mannhelmer
llroa., an addition has been built.
