(Orrson Journal.)
Ono ot tho notablo cities of East
ern Oroffon,,l3,vllon,d., "ltf Is In tho
heart bt la? cotintfy bgtAy suggestive
of romance ' r '
If you havo never been over there,
you ought to go. Indoed, you do
not know Oregon until you have seen
Eastern Oregon with Us marvelous
distances. Its high altitudes and a
picturesque perspective all Its own.
Eleven snow capped mountain
peaks are In view from Dcnd. They
aro so near that you do not havo to
climb a hill to see them, and tho air
is so clear that they can bo seen by
moonlight. As stated in a now book
by W. It. Cheney, they are almost
constantly on exhibition, as there is
sunshine 320 out of the 365 days In
tho year. When you Journey north
or south between Dend and Klamath
Falls, you aro at an altitude more
than half way up the summit of the
Cascado range, and In succession you
look on theso mountain peaks: Mount
Jefferson, 'Mount Mlnto, Three Fin
gered Jack, Mount Washington,
Bolknap crater, Black crater, the
Threo Sisters, the middle ot which Is
10.CG0 feet high; Broken Top, the
Bachelor, Devils Hill, Rock moun
tain, Irish mountain, the Twins, J
Mount Yoran, Maiden peak, Diamond
peak, the Cowhorn, Mount Thlelson
and Mount Scott. Many ot them are
in sight at Bend.
Bend Is 249 miles from Portland.
It is almost directly east of Eugene.
It Is reached by rail from Fallbrldgo
via the Hill line and from Sherman
over tho Harrlman line, both 107
miles from Portland and 147 miles
from Bend. Both lines run through
the Deschutes canyon 101 miles.
Much ot the way tho Deschutes gorge
Is 1,000 feet deep and so narrow that
tho roadbeds are cut like a shelf in
tho steep rock walls. The two roads
cost 122,000,000. At no point along
the entire distance can a town be
built upon tho railroad or river. The
wheat from tho fields contiguous' to
this deep and striking gash in the
earth Is poured down to the railroads
through pipes or chutes.
At Metollus, 106 miles from the
Columbia, the two roads Join, and
cross tho Crooked river on the high
est single span steel bridge on the
American continent. This brldgo is
320 feet high and 320 feet long. As
you cross this bridge in a Pullman
car thoughts turn with awe to the
achievements of man and to the dar
ing of his engineering skill.
Bend is the power city ot Oregon.
Tho wild, leaping Deschutes river
with Its rushing waters' gives Bend
title to that distinction. Twelve
miles above tho city Is Bcnham falls.
In tho 12 miles below Benham falls
the Deschutes drops 600 feot.
Bend is at tho edge of immense
pino forests to tho west and south.
Irrigated lands environ the city
to tho east and north. Stretching
far away to the south and southeast
aro tho rich valleys and high table
lands ot Central and Southeastern
Oregon, a rallroadless country ot
vast, undeveloped resources and Im
mense potentialities.
Tho sawmills of Bond manufacture
850,000 feet ot lumber dally. The
output is marketed in the east and
mlddlo west. Forty per cent, of the
product of ono of the mills is manu
factured into sash and box shook.
Some of tho mills cost a million
dollars each. If placed end to end
tho mill and factory buildings at
Bend would be moro than a mile in
length. Tho mill buildings and lum
ber yards occupy space a Quarter to
holt a milo wide und a mile and a
half long.
Everything In milling at Bend is
on a mammoth scale. A sash factory
there Is tho largest in tho world. A
box factory is tho second largest In
tho world, and a battery of dry kilns
Is tho second largest In America.
Some of the mills own timber enough
to keep their saws busy, night and
day, for CO years. The timber adja
cent to Bend Is, with tho possible ex
ception of Siberia, tho largest body
ot standing pine In tho world.
upon hor fathor's kneo am) told this
sfniplo fable:
"Onco upon n tlmo thoro was n
big barnynr,d with two happy fam
ilies family ot bees nml a family
of files. Both families wero vory
largo, but they had a lot to eat, and
so wero Jolly tho whole summer
through. Only onco tn a whllu would
mamma beo and mamma lly havo a
squabble, and this was always over
work. Tho busy boo family spent
their time gathering food and storing
It for tho winter, while tho lly fam
ily would not do this. Tho llles
thought that summer would always
continue, and they refused to save
up for tho cold, cold winter nhoad.
"Finally tho winter came. Tho
loaves had fallen from tho trees, tho
harvest had been gathered and tvqri
thlng wVcovorod,vflth suow. nV
long 'time thofly ramify had-had
'nothing to cat, but they wore ton
proud to bag. Ono day they could
stand It no longer, so Mr. nnd Mrs.
Fly dccldod to call upon Mr. and
Mrs. Bee. Thoy wont to tho bcehlro
and knocked at tho dour. Mr. and
Mrs. Beo stuck their bonds out of
their cozy home nnd asked what was
wanted.
' 'Wo want somothlng to cat,' said
Mr. and Mrs. Fly.
"'Why didn't you savo In the
summer, tho way wo did?' nsked Mr.
nnd Mrs. Bee. 'Wo would llko to
sharo somo ot our food with you,
but wo havo only enough tor our
family. If wo feed you our children
will starve.
"Sadly did tho papa nnd mamma
fly leavo tho warm beehive full ot
food and return to their poor, hun
gry children In tho cold corner of
tho open shed, only to tell them that
thero was nothing tor them to do
except to starve nnd freeze."
A.
"That Is a flno story, my little
girl," said tho father. "You have
told it nicely, and I am proud ot
you."
"Thank you, papa, for your kind
words. But I havo been wondering
It wo aro llko tho bees or tho flics."
And this set tho father to think
ing. Ho knew that theso aro bright
sunny days for wago earners; that
wages aro now high, work Is now
plentiful, and money Is now plenti
ful. Ho began to think that wlso
are tho families who, like tho bee
family, aro now storing up honey;
and foolish arc the families who,
llko tho fly family, aro now spending
their all. "Perhaps after this war
is over times may bo hard," said
tho father to himself; "there may
be many people out ot work, and
those who do not now save will wish
they had saved."
There aro seasons in business
times ot business prosperity and
business depression Just llko the
season of summer and winter. One
follows the other. It Is Just as cer
tain under present conditions
that a period of unemployment will
folldw a period of over-employment
as it is certain that winter will fol
low summer.

WHAT WE FiqilTFOIt.
Tho high alma of America ami hor
allies aro well expressed In Presi
dent Wilson's greetings to Franco on
UastUo day:
"As Franco eolobrnted our Fourth
ot July, so do wo colobrate hor Four
teenth, keenly conscious of a com
radeship of arms and of purpose ot
which we aro deeply proud. The sea
seems vory narrow today, France Is
so closu neighbor to our hearts. The
war Is being fought to save oursolvoa
from Intolerable things, but It Is
also being fought to savo mankind.
Wo extend our hands to each other,
to tho great peoples with whom we
aro associated; and to tho peoples
everywhere who lovo right nnd prize
Justice as a thing boyoud price, and
consecrate ourselves onco moro to
tho noblo enterprise ot ponce and
Justice, realizing tho great concep
tions that havo lifted France and
America high among tho free peoples
of tho world. Tho French ling tiles
today from tho staff ot tho White
House, and America Is happy to do
honor to that flag."

SAVING AND LENDING."
Sir William Goodo, ot tho British
food ministry, says that from July,
1917, to April, 191S. tho United
States exported to tho allies SO,
000,000 bushels of wheat products.
Of this It Is asserted that 50,000,000
bushols represented voluntary secrl
flees by tho Amorlcan peoplo In their
consumption ot wheat.
Thero Is a trlplo economy, a triple
aspect ot this saving of wheat. It
savo wheat for our army and the
armies of our allies; It saved money
to tho American people, nnd for the
most part this money went for tie
purchaso ot government war secur
ities. Thero Is another saving still; Ihii
sort ot sacrifice and economy Is help
ing win thft'war sliortcn"tho' war "
with tho resultant saving of soldiers'
lives.
DAILY GERMAN LIE.
A correspondent In Norton, Va
reports a current rumor that "only
10 per cent, of the money collected
by tho Red Cross goes to the relief
and benefit of the persons for whom
subscriptions are taken."
Tho credit so often given to such
charges against tho Rod Cross Is
probably duo to the general ignor
anco of tho way In which the organi
zation is managed. It is taken for
granted that becauso subscriptions to
tho society aro voluntary It is a prl
vato charltablo association. That Is
not the case. Tho Red Cross Is the
government's agency for war relief.
President Wilson Is its president.
Tho secretary of tho treasury Is tho
treasurer of Its war relief fund.
Among Its officers aro the secretary
of state, the surgeon goneral ot tho
army, the surgeon general ot the
navy, the comptroller of tho cur
rency, and tho solicitor general of
tho United States. Moreover, It re
ports to congress, and Its accounts
aro audited by tho war department.
It would bo as Imposslblo for tho
Red Cross to mlsuso tho money It
collects as It would bo for the war
department Itself to devote only "10
per cent." of Its funds "for tho relief
and benefit" of tho army. All theso
stories of wasto and extravaganco In
tho management ot the Rod Cross
aro pro-German slanders designed to
discourage loyal citizens in support
ing a necessary war work,

Want Women on Job.
Conservation of man power Is tho
reason for an ordor which has been
issued by Stato Highway Engineer
Nunn to all ot tho employes on statel
highway work throughout the stato
to tho effect that wherever practic
able women employes be put on tho
payroll Instead of mon, It Is the
object of tho department to liavo
women doing all of tho light Jobs
that can bo handled by mombors of
that sex, such as Inspection work,
rock checking and Jobs ot a similar

Talk In .Million.
Whllo nnyouo connected with the
fedornl government Is considered a
piker unions ho talks In terms of
billions, tho stato authorities are
fallowing suit nnd only millions ran
bo considered by tho elite. Tho In
dustrial accident commission figures

state's sharo of tho accident fund for
tho next blonnlum unless the law Is
mado compulsory nnd tho burden ro
moved from tho state, savo tho bur

All told, tho commission expects Its
receipts to mount to 18,400,000 for
tho two years stnrtlnx with tho llrst

Economy N Wntrlmonl.
Tho governor also declares that
thorn will be no winking at any un
necessary expenditure of funds, and
thnt tho most rigid economy will be
thu watchword In state affairs. This,
ho declares, Is nil tho moro essential
as tho next year Is coming on with
tho greatest demands In vluw that
havo ever been linposod on tho
Amorlcan people. , .
"Not only nro tho taxes for war

stated thu governor, "hut tho do

tho duty of every state official to see

"All activities must bo sidetracked
