Thrilling tales ot the heroism ot

"This history ot America's part In
the great war Is a continuation ot
her history as a chnmplnn of freo
dom, and the nations of tho world
will never cease to render trlhuto to
tho spirit of liberty which prompted
America to enter Into tho war. Our
troops are crusnders who hnvo fought
and suffered to make tho world n
safer, better .cleaner place to llvo
in. It you don't live to mako thin
world a better place for tho boys
who como back, you have failed to

IN
Htato ' Engineer Bellevm Govern
Will Concentrate Efforts on
Development of Central
Oregon Land.
(Special to Tho Bulletin.)
SALBM, Ore., Doc. 23. Stato En
gineer Percy A. Cupper has authoriz
ed the Bend Bulletin representative
to mako tho Important announce
ment to the peoplo ot tho Deschutes
Valley that the entire resources of
his o til co -will be loaned to an en
deavor to secure tho concentration
of government effort on tho Des
chutes Valley as tho logical and
feaslblo section of tho Northwest for
development ot lands In aiding the
soldiers and sailors returning from
tho wars.
"I personally bellevo that tho gov
ernment will concentrate Its efforts
on tho development ot tho great 200,
000 acre project which Includes lands
of high productive value," said tho
state engineer.
"Tho details have as yet not been
worked out, but they will be as
speedily as possible and tho is every
reason to bellevo that tho govern
mental authorities will see tho ad
vantages to be derived from inten
sive development ot tho Deschutes
Valley.
Quick Work Xccdcil.
"Tho Imperative need is for quick
development ot lands to havo them
ready for tho soldiers to turn them
selves Into civilians on tho basis ot
useful and productive' lives. The sit
uation in tho Deschutes Valley pre
sents magnificent opportunities for
development ot tho very class of
lands which tho government will seek
for Its returning soldiers nnd sail
ors, and government monoy could
carlly build the reservoir and neces
sary works, which would turn every
ncro of tho valley possible for Irri
gation Into land of tho highest pro
ducing quality." ''
Mr. Cupper stated that details for
this development work will bo gone
over carefully, but as expeditiously
as possible and ovcry means will be
taken to interest tho government In
the Drolect. Ho states there is no
Inclination to -neglect tho possibili
ties In the balance ot the state, nor
will such neglect be allowed, but
tho Immenso acreago of lands ot the
best kind furnishes opportunities In
the Deschutes that cannot be over
looked for speedy development.
Mr. Cuppor. In a general way, and
not applying to any specific project.
has outlined his theories of tho re
clamation problem nnd tho return
ing soldier problem ns follows:
Cupper Outlines Theories.
"For a number of years wo hnvo
thought Irrigation dovolopment In
terms of after tho war and have look
ed forward to tho tlmo there would
again bo activity along this line.
However, strange as It may seom
during the last 18 months when tho
attention of tho world was centered
on tho strife In Franco, and our na
tion was asking tho peoplo for bil
lions for liberty bonds and millions
for other war activities, more Oregon
irrigation securities wero disposed of
than during tho aoven preceding
years. Ovor two million dollars ot
our Irrigation district bonds have
found a ready market since tho en
nctmont ot thq new irrigation district
lnw which bocamo offoctlvo In 1917.
I ascribo this to throe causes, first,
tho reduction ot Irrigation as an en
terprise to a sound business basis
through tho enactment ot tho best Ir
rigation district law in tho United
States, a second, tho increase In tho
domaud for Irrigation bonds duo in' a
largo measure to tho high price ot
food products, nnd third, tho bond
buying educational campaign carried
on In connection with tho salo of
Liberty Bonds.
Good Showing 3Iade.
"nogardless of tho cause I feel
that Oregon is to be congratulated
on thin remarkable showing and tho
promlso it holds out for the future,
particularly when, ns I understand,
adjacent states have been unable to
dlsposo ot their irrigation bonds.
"Tho past is mainly ot interest as
Indicating what wo may oxpeet In tho
future, It goes without saying that
the thing that looms greatest on the
