Immediate menace of a striko by the

lront and In Asiatic Turkey, assuming
h moro decided offensive, world hap
-pcnlnga hare held more of Interest
than usual during tno past, wcok.
An CTcnt of tho greatest Interna'
tlnnnl moment was renorted yestor-

Purposes of M&
"Klven orders for the arming of Amer
ican morcbautmen entering the sub
marine roue Special Instructions
for gunners are being prepared by
Secretary of tho Navy Daniels. For
eign diplomats have been notified of
tho new move.
America's plauB for naval defense
aro shrouded in mystery, but it is
known that a number of Innovations
In deep sea protection are being per
fected. Tho German feeling toward the
Vnlted States Is believed to bo re
flected In an articlo appearing In the
"Tagcblatt," a German publication,
In which America Is pictured, as "the
gleeful beneficiary of European civ
ilization's deathbed."
A number of alleged plots believed
to have German Inspiration were fer
reted out during the last soven days,
Including tho arrest of Captain Al
fred Frltzcn, formerly of tho Gor
man navy, charged with complicity
In the Wetland canal plot, and of
John Humbert, of Iioboken, believed
to bo Identified with tho Fritz Kolb
bomb plot. Other manifestations of
unwolcomo activities wcro In tho in
cendiary flro at tho Savago Arms
plant, in Utfca, New York, and In
tho finding of a bomb in tho union
station waiting room In Cleveland.
Pro-German activities on the part
of Swiss Minister Hitter, represent
ing German interests In Washing
ton, have brought about strained
relations with Sccrctar of Stato Lan
sing. Tho Teutonic communication
asking tho reconstruction of tho Prus
sian treaty is the Issuo at stake.
Ab a step from America's neutral
position is the withdrawal from tho
management of Dolglan relief work,
"but a ray of light is shed on tho sit
uation by tho statement of Washing
ton diplomats, who declare that an
European peace pact may be made
"within the next four months.
In tho actual war field, the Brit
ish forces Sunday offectcd the cap
ture of Bagdad, famous rlty of Turk
ish history, while the Prussians, in
a co-operatlvo attack, are Invading
Turkey with little effective opposi
tion. In Prance, British troops are
on the versa of forcing the evacua
tion of Bapaumo, a Gorman strong
hold, which is regarded as the key
to the Somtue sector. Desultory
fighting at other points along the
western front, has brought little re
sult to either side.
Contradictory reports emanated
this week - concerning the where
abouts of Captain Boy-ed, recalled
to Germany on request from tho
American Stato Department, because
of anti-neutral activities. lloy-ed
was reported to bo In tho crowd which
welcomed von llornstorff to Berlin,
hut Phllndolnhla dlsnatrhes stated
that ho Is In this country and believ
ed to bo connected with recent plots.
Von llornstorff himself Is planning
to nrotcst to Washington In regard
to the treatment accorded him by tho
Canadian Inspectors, when his ship,
the Frederick VIII, was halted at
Halifax.
On tho some day that von Horn
Btorff reached Berlin. Ambassador
Gerard reached Washington, out is
making no public report as to his
experlnces In Germany, under orders
from tho White House.
Whothor or not n progressive strike
by tho railroad brotherhoods Is to bo
declared, was scheduled to bo decid
ed this afternoon at a meeting of
brotherhood and railway representa
tives. The railroads nro determined
to make no concessions to their em
ployes until tho supremo court has
passed on the constitutionality of tho
Adamson eight hour law. President
Wilson Is looked to to control tho sit
uation by taking over tho roads as
a national preparedness measure, In
case a crisis becomes Imminent.
After a slight delay, caused by tils
Illness of last week, tho President
is again assuming his duties, al
though still' not fully recovered.

Wrongfully Filed.
(From Tuesday's Daily.)
Alleging that a deed to a 40 aero
tract of farm land Is on file, with the
name of John It. Fltzhugh wrongful
ly Inserted as the grantee, B. F.
Childress today brought suit In the
circuit oourt of Deschutes county,
asking that the filing be cancelled.
He complains that the deed was tak
en by the defendant from J. M. Cren

while It does not affect the owner
ship of the land In question, It con
stitutes a cloud on the title.
his free. Of course all of tho travol
wont by Mr. Stoats' bridge, aud Mr.
Slsomoro was obliged to mako his
brldgo tree, to get tho travol.
Tho Urooks-Scanlon mill Is built
on tho dividing lino between tho
Stoats and Slsomoro places, and tho
Shovlln-Hlxon mill Is built on part
of tho old Staats place.
Gradually settlers crossed tho Cas
cades from tho Willamette valley
and mado their homes In and around
Bond. Tho livestock Industry at
tracted thorn and many of them took
up homesteads. Tho postoffico was
at tho W. II. Staats place. It was not
moved to Bond until 1904. In 1903
tho namo "Bend" was changed to
"Deschutes." This was temporary,
howovor, for a remonstrance was for
warded to tho postmaster genornl at
onco by tho Sherman county people,
as they also had a town by that name.
Consequently it was renamed Bend.
Stophon and William Staats, David
C. Hubbard, John Slsomoro, tho Van
deverts, Boguos, Maytlelds and John
Atkinson wero among the earliest
settlers about Bend. In tlmo thoy
began to think of Irrigation. A. M.
Drake, along with C. C. Hutchinson,
was attracted by the prospects of the
locality and made a thorough exam
ination of tho country. Hn then pro
ceeded to carry out his plans and was
financier of his work. After the
acceptance of tho Carey Act, tho plans
wero changed and operations carried
out under that statute.
In tho meantime Buud had heou
promised a railroad by tho Columbia
Southern and Corvallfs & Eastern
companies. This boosted along tho
Irrigation movement and brought
hundreds of peoplo to file on timber
clnlmn of yellow plno. This business
boomod In 1001 and 1002, but lit the
mi in. in or of 190.1 tho government
made Us first big withdrawal of Cen
tral Oregon forest, aud business rap
idly decreased lln activity,
In 1903 tho Pilot Butto Develop
ment Co,, Mr. Drake and Arthur L.
Goodwllllo, of Chicago, completed a
tlumn, and several nilltm of canal.
Tho Interests of this company wore
then sold to tho Deschutes Irrigation
and Power Co., which soon acquired
tho Hutchinson Irrigation Interosti.
In tlmo, 214,911 acres of desert laud
was brought under control iff tho
corporation.
A plan was then under way to set
tle aud bring under cultivation a now
land one hundred miles from a rail
road, About GOO men were employed
In ditch construction and besides tho
two sawmills here, there was ono he,
Ing built atTumalo and all worn kept
busy. Either railroad did not romp,
howovor, and tho boom began to
languish. Business was dull that
yoar. Tho following spring, when
tho operations of the timber buyers
Increased, there was n general pros
perity which lasted Into tho second
year.
"Tho Echo" was tho first papor
published on tho Deschutes. It was
destroyed by tiro In 1903. Tho Bul
letin was started In March of that
year and was located In tho log cabin
which had been a school house and
Is now destroyed.
Tho population of Bend In 1903
was about 250 persons. There wero
25 pupils enrolled In the school That
yoar tho Bond Mercantile Co,opened
a now store. In 1904 tho population
Increased to between 400 and 600
peoplo and n postoffico was estab
lished. Tho mall had previously come
to tho Staats place three times a
weok. Prluevtlle, Slianlko, Silver
Lako, Bend and other points warn
connected by stage lines. An auto
roobllo was purchased that year to
run between Shanlko and Bend.
Also In 1904 tho towuslto was
platted by the Pilot Buttn Develop
ment Co., and the Central Oregon
Banking and Trust Co. was estab
lished with $25,000 capital.
Hugh O'Kauo built the first hotol
In 1904. It burned that winter and
was rebuilt .the following yeur. It
also burned In 19 IC, anil was re
placed by the present structure. Tho
Baptist church was erected In 1904.
In 1905 the Bend Water. Light ft
Power Co. was organized. Thn build
ing which Is now the Catholic church
was used as a soliool house until
1906, when It wns purchased by the
Cuthollrs and the old high school
was built.
In 1904 30 miles of telephnuo lino
wns built between Bend and Prlno
vlllo. In that year also, Bend boasted
thn only three story building In tho
county.
Thn Bond library was organised,
at first as a magnzlno club, nnd was
afterward taken up by the women of
Bend and turned Into tho present
library.
During tho year 1904, up to No
vember, 80 buildings had been erect
ed nt n total cost of 175,000. In
1905, tho wnter mains were laid from
the river to Wall street aud along
Wall street nearly to Oregon. Wall
street was so called becuuso of a
stone wall standing along the street.
A full flre-flghtlug apparatus was
bought from n Portland company In
1905 at a cost of 1396.60, besides
freight.
There was a lag In Jiualne from
1905 until the promise of the rail
road In 1910. With It, business
grow and tho railroad was a roallty
In 1911, There was again n slack
until tho mills wero constructed In
191 C and I91C. Tho boom lusted
to 1910. Bend Is still growing with
great rapidity, and has a population
of about C000.
