(From TuosdaV'a Dally.)
While Kobort E. Strahorn waa
ipoaklng at tho Pilot Dutte Inn Sat
urday night on tho occasion or the
formal opening of the now hotel, few
realized that ho waa colobratlng the
anniversary ot ono ot tho most thrill
ing episodes in his career. Tho story
leaked out last night just before tho
road builder took his doparturo from
Doud.
Forty-onp years ago, on St. Pat
rick's day, Mr. Strahorn, as a iiowb
paper correspondent, rode with a
company ot 47 aoldtero during tho
Sioux war, to surprise, an Indian
village. After riding and marching
48 bourn, the surprise was effected,
but anothor party supposed to havo
como up from tho other aldo, failed
to urrlvo, and tho Boldlors woro left
to fight It out for thomsolves, sur
rounded by 300 warriors.
Mr. Strahorn was In thu thick of
the fray. "Oonornl Crook used to
say that I was bettor with a rltlo
than with a pen," ha remarked, "anil
it waa lucky tor me that this was so,
ror every man was noodod that day.
"I cannot help contrasting the
hardships which wo endured in thoso
days, with tho tlovolppmont ot to
day. When tho army was on tho Yel
lowstone, wo woro 600 miles from
tho nearest army post and tha only
railroad across tho continent was the
Union Pacific. Everything was wil
derness, and tho harsbips wo under
wont woro typical ot tha period.

(From Tuesday's Dally.)
That a majority or Bend pcoplo
would be In favor or a $100,000 city
bond Issue to Insure tho beginning of
construction on the Strahorn lino
from Dond.tbls summer, was shown
by a canvass taken today of men In
various walks ot llfo. A number
were uncortaln, and stated that thoy
would have to be shown whero the
good to bo gained would counter
balance tho expenditure but those
absolutely against tho proposition,
were comparatively few. "Wo can't
afford to let Klamath Falls get ahead
of Dond In this" was tho chief argu
ment advanced for tho voting of the

A. J. Kroenort,.of tho Dend Flour
Mills, declared that his roto would
bo favorable "Bend's former ex
porlonce In railroad construction mat
ters has been that we derived llltlo
benefit from the money spent In con
struction," he said. "This has been
because we weep at tho tall end ot
construction, with some other city
gaining the profit. If the lino Is
built from Klamath Falls, tbo same
will nold true, but If Bend ! at tho
head end or construction, thla city
will have an immediate advantage
rrom the railroad payroll, and with
tho added railway service, will be
oome a center ror jobbing establish
ments. Tho improvements made In
cident to railroad construction will
ruoro than take care or tho interest

Dr. D. E. Hunter, president or tho
Central Oregon Bank, was unwilling
to bo quoted. "Because ot tho largo
Interests with which I am connected,
both the Central Oregon Bank, and
tho Bend Co., I feci that It would
be Improper for me to make any
statement until I have consulted with
our stockholders." he said.
J. N. Hunter, of Hunter & Staata
.Realty Co., was undecided as to
whether or not the bond issue would
be advisable, and declared that he
would have to give the matter more
thourough investigation before ren
dering a decision,
C. S. Hudson, president of tho First
National Bank, was not ready to

F. Dement, president of the Com

too weighty to give an opinion be

samo view was takon by Barney
