WAR INEVITABLE.
President .Wilson hn broken dlp
lomntlc rolatlonB with Germany, re
calling Ambassador Oerard and de
livering his pasRportn to von Ilerna
torff. What lid lias threatened to
do so many times) hns now been dono
ns a rcfliilt of the final act of tier
man aggression nnd Interference
with tho rights of neutrals on tho
high senB.
Whllu not n dcclarntlon of war,
Which Is In tho power of CongroHS
nlonc, the President's act leaves war
as tho only remaining course open
to tho United States In enso sovcr
nncn of diplomatic relations docs not
bring Germany to terms. And war
scorns Inevitable
Halations have been severed be
fore) any lives have been lost. Tho
President bus acted as n result of tho
Gernmu anuoupcement alone. Now
It Is Inconceivable that lives will not
bo lost, and war must follow,
Tho very net which brings on war,
tho taking of American lives by a
Gorman submarlno, will point the
enurso which wo shall follow In op
posing Germany. Our land forces
ura too Binull to bo of any value on
tho European battlo fronts, even If
noiitlment mill policy would poruilt
their leaving tho United States. Hut
our navy Is nvollnblu nnd It will hnvo
lis shorn to do lii protecting our com
Plprca find uHHlstlng In tho suppres
sion df III" Herman submnrlno.
'ready wo are Hnkod Industrial
ly and comtnorclully with tlio Allies.
Joining them In tho prosecution of
tho war will mean n closer associa
tion, based on-broader Interests than
rftnoso of buyer nnd Boiler. Further,
It should glvo us a plnra III til" Undo
itgrnomoiit union forniinl In protect
Jho business of tlio Allies when thu
war Is over.
Plainly, our entrance nhoulA
shorten tlio war. European nntlnns
Svlio are not now engaged hnvo Ident
ical IntoroHtH with Us, bo far ns nav
igation of tho sens Is concerned, nnd
must surely go In as wo shall go In,
when their subjects nro killed. Then
Germany will bo at bay. Tho League
to Enforce I'euco will bu nt work,
nnd peace will result.
HOW ABOUT PAPBK :PULP?
A few ago considerable 'experimen
tation was dono wft'li Deschutes
"black jack" pine an a basis for tho
manufacture ot wood pulp. ThJ-'rc
was some real success. (Vjtnlnly
onoii'-li n accomplish to attract
a Ir. of ittoutlon. Tid wo know that
a iruall amount of paper actually
ws manufactured from tho local
lodge polo plno bocausa wo recolvod
samples of it.
As wo recall tho matter, the ex
periments wero not carried very far,
because thoro was no ono to talco
the lend and to provldo required fin
ancial hacking. Hut n start was made,
and considerable promlso of really
important developments was forth
coming.
Tho trouble seemed to be, at that
time, thnt paper manufacture upon
a scalo assuring profit, could not
seem to bo assured. Wo wonder If
It would not now bo highly worth
whllo to revive tho ontlro matter.
Tho prico of all kinds of pnper Iiiib
doubled, nnd more. Tho demand
Is unprecedented, and unheard of
prices provall. The supply Is most
limited and n chango In conditions
appears remote.
In short, now, if ovor, is an op
portune tlmo to test out to tlio fullest
degrco, with tho best chances of sue
cess, tho possibilities of our black
plno for pnper pulp utilization. As
suredly It such n field could bo
opened up It would provo ot Incal-
cuablo benefit to this community and
nil Central Oregon, If tho thousands
of acres of now worthless, or nearly
worthless, plno could bo transformed
Into n product of value, and a payroll
producing product at that, n nega
tive quantity would indeed bo trans
formed Into n positive asset ot re
miirkahlo worth.
Why not look Into It ngaln?
A NEEDED REVISION.

Our President
RIGHT OR WRONG
CO let us stand behind the line as one man, to help and
encourage him in any decision he may come to at
this critical moment. There is no one that appreciates
the good will and well wishes of the people more than the R. M. Smith Clothing
Co. When we know that the majority of the people in Deschutes and surrounding
counties are behind us in our endeavors to lower the retail prices on Ladies', Men's
and Children's wearing apparell it gives us an incentive to do more, for we know
that we have the confidence of the People, which, after all, is the greatest thing
there is.

Tho following wo reprint from tho
Now York Times:
"Tojciih Iiiih an area or 200, S00
ei tin ro mlluMi Hi) estimated popula
tion In l'Jl'7 In 4,472,494. It la
sparsely populated for Uh hIio. It Ib

till cheap, offers unbounded oppor
tunities ot agricullniv. lis Industrial
prosperity turn but begun. In this
plKiilitlo Btato in i)ic, Its railroad
eommMon tolls us, 19.35 miles of
railroad wero built. Tho Galveston
News unys;
" 'If, thun, Toxns needs moro
railroad mileage, and It tho sup
pi)' of Idlu Investment capital
Is nhiindant hoyond all proco
duut, what Is tho explanation ot
tho fact that last year only ID
miles of railroad wero built In
ToxasT It seoins to ns It can
bo explained upon only ono hy
pothesis, mid that Is thnt rail
road bulldliiK In Toxns Is not
nn InvltliiK form ot Investment,
and this at a time when capital
Is busily looking for Investment
opportunities.'
"Thnt Is ruspcctfully submitted to
tho Texas Itnllrond Commission, to
nil other State Itnllrond Commissions,
to tho lutorututo Commerce Commis
sion, to CoiiKress, and air cltltons ot
sober mind,"
That Is Interesting.
Oregon's situation Is not so bnd,
but It Is bud oiioukIi,
Tho state's urea Is 96,099 square
miles and our ottlclal population U
795,000. Last year wns probably
above normal, so far ns railroad
tiulldltiK Is coicernod, tho total num
ber of miles 'of now road built beliiK
288. Yet, proportionately to urea,
Oresou has loss railroad mileage
ttinu utmost any other state.
No one slnglo reason Is entirely
responsible, for this condition. No
tloubt In tho past, Oregon's aptness
nt so-called' "popular" legislation has
bad a hand In It. As Hennessey Mur
phy nays, "Tlio East has tho pros
portly aud Oregon has tho laws."
Hut that disposition hat slowed down
a lot of lata, but thero Booms to bo
Inclination to make and keep Ore
gon a reasonably satisfactory location
for Invested cupltal.
This Is aU pretty closo to home
Just at present, when wo of Central
)rogon are Expecting tho construes
lou of that 400 miles of Strahorn
llroad.
Tho last Issue of 'System," n nn-
tloniil magazine, widely rend by bus
iness men, contains nn IntcrcotliiL ,
"trado map." It grouped vnrluus
portions of tlio country whoso bus
iness liitorcsts wero naturally bound
togothor through geographic and
transportation conditions,
Ttio inip flh.oWH two groups, on
tho Pacific coast. Ono Included
Washington, Idaho nnd all of Ore
eon, except tho Houth-coiitrnl nnd
southeastern part, a territory em
bracing, roughly, Klamath, I.nko,
Mainour nnd part of .V'alhour comi
ties. Occupying n'ut tho geograph
Icnl cantor 0f tills northern trado
group Is Portland.
Tho portions of Oregon divorced
from Portland, ns shown on tho map,
nro combined with tho southern
group, tho California trado torrllory,
wIiobo commercial center Is Sou
Krnnclsco.
Tho trado map Is correct. An
matters stand, tho business of south
central nnd southeastern Oregon goes
to California, Instead of to 'Portland
as It should ami could.
Tho Htruhorn railroad system Is
tho answer. When tho now Central
Oregon railroads nro In operation
that trade map will need revision.
It Is vastly to her own Interest for
Portland to lend every aid toward
this consummation, which will so
materially Increase her strategic com
mercial position,
UNITED AMERICA.
No ono can liavo read tho editor
ial comment on President Wilson's
break with Germany without feeling
a thrill ot patriotism and ImVlliff a
promt souse ot HUvnhlp VUu mill
ions ot fellow Altterlvahs. Divided
as our nympalhlcs may hnvo been
between the partlos to tho Kuropeau
conflict, when tho United States be
came Involved, thero wns only ono
thought iu tho minds of nil, and thnt
wns Amorlcu. However dangerous
tho hyphen may hnvo seemed In tho
past two years, tho danger Is gone.
Tho events of Saturday havo obllt-,
orated tho "hyphenated American,"
leaving only tho cltUen of tho United I
States. I
Kspcelally Is this truo In tho caso I
of Americans of (lerman birth or
descent. Gorman newspapers all ovor
tho country whoso feelings hnvo been j
till for tho Knth'erlnnd, without ox-1
eeptlou have said that In tho present
crises they nro American only. They i
hnvo pledged themselves to tho conn-'
try s cnusu and If It comes to war,
their readers, Herman no longer, will
bu fighting under tho Stars and
Stripes,
This year tho Portland newspapers
are devoting far less space thun over
betoro to tho doods nnd misdeeds
ot the Oregon legislature, now In ses
sion. It Is increasingly apparent
that tho general public Is not high
ly concerned with tho details ot leg
Ulatloh, and especially, with tho In
ner working ot Its political manipu
lations. Tho news ot geuoral Im
portance Is about all state readers
require, plus fuller reports upon mat
tors ot local moment. Generally
speaking, tho public, ot Oregon aa
elaewhore, cares little for Intricate
political news, except at actual tlmo
of eloctlon.

tho spirit of tho dead person leaves tho

Tho United States Is divided Into
four parts, namely, Northeastern,
Central, Southern nnd Wcstorn.
In tho northeastern group wo find
manufacturing, commerce, fishing,
lumbering, dairying, nnd quarrying.
In tho northeastern section you
will find tho population moro than iu
any group.
In tho control group you will find
mining, dairying, manufacturing,
lumbering and commorco. There Is
also a vast population.

that cotton, tobacco, sugar cane are

also. About 30 years ago thoro wero
no factories In tho southern group
and thoy had to send all tholr raw
matorlal to tho northeastern or cen

to put up their own cotton factories,
thoretora you will find manufactur
