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

only controlling factor.
