Ono Year Jl.fiO Six Months 75 Three Months CO THURSDAY, FEimUAHY 1, 1917 DESCHUTES COUNTY AGAIN. This business of cdltorlallng about the creation of Deschutes county Is becoming something of u habit with us. This Is tho third tlmo wo havo bad occasion to comment upon the cr6atlon of our county. Kor tho baby has been born, olllclnlly, thrco times, nnd each tlmo ho seems stur dier, more self rellnnt and certainly more deserving of congratulation. On November 8, the day ader tho election, we all knew that Deschutes county liad been created by, tho will of the voters. On Dccomhcr 13, Gov ernor Wlthycombe Ifisuod the ulllclal proclamation, and again wo know that Deschutes county was In exist ence. And now tho icgiHiaiure nas passed the bill which again creates Deschutes county, and ratlflcH all tho provlous steps. This tlmo wo renlUe fully thnt Deschutes county Ih legally placed In being beyond tho remotest possibil ity of further cavil or dispute. Its opponents havo no recourse. They must bow to tho Inevitable and cease canting mud and legal darts ut the new organism. Deschutes county has won for all time. Thus ends n long fight, which has been a bitter one at times. , Tho very best memory of the Btrug glo Is tho knowledge thnt Hcnd, which has fathered nnd mothered the division movement In Its udvor Ity and Its success, has fought a clean fight. Tho nppcal for division was based upon tho clean-cut merits of I lie case, and tho campaigns wero conducted upon tho principles of con structive betterment nnd mutual ad vantage, Hcnd nnd all of tin who have striven for the creation of Dos chutes county for flvo yearn pnst, have, we think, made no promises which have not been kept, and of fered no predictions which will not ba fulfilled, A very pleasant and' satisfactory present-day feature of the slluutlou Is the widespread satisfaction with the now comity as It Is, and with Its administration us it has been chos en, lly a veto of about two to one tho residents of the now county reg iHtored their approval of Its crea tion just November. Tho minority, however, was u fighting minority They fought far harder nnd terprlscs as they havo to working against tho Inevitable creation of a west side county. In fact, they ought to congratulate themselves that they've divorced us, for If thoy hadn't there Isn't a doubt In tho world' that a couple of years hence they'd havo soon ftholr own county scat transferred to tho banks. of tho Deschutes. Prlnovlllo Is all right, and bo are Its citizens. If a majority of them will only Impress upon tho trouble seeking minority that good losing Is a big part of tho game, and Im plore them to cheer up, tho commun ity on tho Ochoco ought to progress very rapidly hereafter. Lastly, Just now, when we've won, It's good to record our debt of gratl- tudo to those who mado the winning possible, Tho list Includes a loyal lot of cltlzons on tho oast side who played fair and square throughout and who helped us get tho necessary thlrty flvo porccnt favorablo vote Wo all know tho names of most of them, and we'ro likely to stand ready to help them, when wo can, for recipro cation Is n first class princlplo of conduct. Then thoro nro the people of tho precincts who worked had for tho causo beford election and on election day. Their spirit of helpfulness Is remembered, and tholr claims upon our friendly offices always will bo rocognlzcd. Uend will not forget hor friends. And In tho uolcctlon of a govornmont of tho new county Uend haB demonstrated, wo believe, u spirit of roal fairness. Tho prom Iso that Uend would not try to play tho hog has been fulfilled. In this connection It Is well to ndd that tho people of Deschutes county owo another debt of gratltudo to n Governor who cooperated promptly In establishing thatinarhlncry of tho now govornmont nnd who plnccd In Its control a court which Ih univers ally recognized as admirably quali fied and In whoso selection tho best Interests of tho new county was tho only controlling factor. Lastly, lot us remember thnt tho legislative bill could never havo be I W T UK JO BKLOW, COLDEST OF WINTIMt, HUT NO ILL RESULTS ,11 (OM SUDDEN DKOP, FOLLOW THE WATEIt FAMINE BRIEF. (From Wednesday's Dally.) The coldest weather of tho winter, nnd within thrco degrees of tho min imum recorded nil last year, was reached last night when the mer cury In tho official govornment ther mometer hero dropped to 16 degrees below zero. The minimum was reached on January 18, n little moro than n year ago.
