It doesn't seem likely that such n mess will come to pass, but the ex pression of one ot Jones' closest friends is put down here for what It Is worth. It Is generally assumed that the Jones organization will stick until after tho votes arc count ed at least and there doesn't seem to be much likelihood that the Clarion county contender can now be defeated for tho place. But what may happen after the election "must glvo us pause" as Hamlet used to say in some ot his more worried moments. Jones -will go into the high scat with from 25 to 28 members who might vote for him. but who had been pledged for Durdick and who are not at all satisfied with tho outcome ot the situation and who are taking their defeat In grim and sullen si lence. On top ot that it is certain that a number ot the men who signed up with Jones when It still appeared that he has a hard fight on his hands are going to be dissatisfied with the organization in some par ticular or another and when the houso gets down to business there will be a great disgruntled element. Tho best guess is that this element is igolng to do everything in its power to jilaco tacks in the scat ot the speaker's chair. This is going to spell trouble be-, fore the session is over and harmony may havo no place at all in the ces sion Just coming up. ( Jonc Slightly Worried. Tho possibilities bring up recollec tions of the time when Den Selling was speaker ot the house and the very organization that elected him arose one night at a Into season und demanded that he bo unseated. Ho wasn't unseated, but tho little dovo of harmony fluttered with all tho Bpeed of hor tiny wings right square out of the hall of representatives and returned no more for that ses sion. Jonoa hlmiolt is a trifle worried about the outlook, and while he Is not shouting it from the housetops, the same in known to somo of his close friends who havo boon advis ing him to keep u close lookout on Ills band of pledged followers. What effect possible unharmonlous situations may have on prospective legislation, of course, Is n matter of conjecture, but it will no doubt mean trouble It efforts are niado to put over-the legislation squarely through the organization and the opposition finds that this method Is being used. Whatever tho situation proves to bo as -far as the house Is concerned It Is safe to predict that there will bo no smooth fitting organization such as has been seen In somo ses sions of the past. In the senato It Is hard to say as yot Just what will bo tho nnturo of the organization. It Is always easier to preserve an organization In thnt body than In the house. It is smaller, and consequently not so un wieldy. On top of that It generally Includes a majority ot men who havo had lcglslattvo experience to a greater extent than tho majority In the house and men who are more familiar with the general principles of grinding out laws. As a result the upper houso as a rule works' moro harmoniously and moro directly to the point than the lower houso and the semblance ot a working organiza tion is generally found there, even when tho organization in tho houso has gono to smash. Vnlley Men Grab Priet. One other big feature will bo ap parent throughout the wholo ses sion, which may be touched upon while tho harmony subject is under discussion. And that is the unusual situation which will find two Willam ette valley men in the high places. For tbo first time In a long spaco ot Oregon legislative history men from the valley are occupying both the presidency of tho senate and tho speakership ot tho house. This doesn't set well, either with a great many of tho Eastern Oregon or Mult nomah members, or does It exactly lit into tho scheme of tilings with all of the members from Southern Oro gon. Whllo In nn Ideal legislature It Is conceded this should muke no difference, no one has ever upcusod any Orogon legislature as yet of be ing ideal and it Is generally admitted it Is too late In the game to start doing ho now. Geography nlwaa cuts a deal ot figure in lawmaking bodlos and It is bound to this time. To tho Eastern Oregon members the fact thut tho falloy has a man sitting Jn the seats of the mighty on each sldo of tho big rotunda is going to be llko waving the red rag In front of the proverbial bull, and troublo is bound to ensue. Also It In likely thut more tlinn ono iMntion county ttiun will find his way onto tho wnH utid means committee. This will bo par tlcularly truo u the llquso. J onus will bo too foxy to try to slip tho chairmanship ot thnt 'commltto to a Marlon county man, hut ho find u place for tit least ono man from this county on the committee and probably two. It moro bIiouIiI laud n howl Is going to arise that will shako tun very heights. There has been somo rccurraueu ot the cry of "Sulom Hog" rising In with tho probabto election of Jours, and It there Is nuy Indication that the money spending committee Is to bo in any manner backed with a Mar lon county showing, It will rankle and rankle deep In somu sections, Secret Conrlmrrt Held Another factor also Is bound to develop. Marlon county has always voted against appropriations tor outside movements when they havo confronted the voters of this county on Initiative and referendum ballots and tho last straw came when this county helped snow under the nor mal school hill at tho last election. Uoth eastern and southern Oregon were Interested in that bill and mntfv ot tho peoplo from that sec tion see in this vote it recurriincn ot what they term an undying hos tility ot Marlon county to their pet Ideas. This undercurrent of feel ing is nlso bound to crop up along with tho election of Jones und the other eventualities clted Some secret political conclaves as u forerunner to the legislature havo brought forth qulto n handy polit ical story from tho wlseheads. The story goes that these little conferences, In which State Treasurer Kay's name has been mentioned frequently havo been for tho pur poso of framing n bill to put tho weights and measures department, now under tho treasurer's otflco, under the Jurisdiction of the public scrvlco commission. Tho story Is thnt representative Weeks of Mar ion county Is to Introduco the bill. All ot thnt Is old stuff, hut the adjunct comes along In tho conncc-1 t-. We Wish You A Happy and Prosperous New Year & tlon which Kay has had with tbo move, or which lie is alleged to havo had, and this Is founded somowhnt on the portion ot his recent report recommending shoving the weights and measures oftlco Into the scrvlco commission, unless a largo number of tho scrvlco commission's powers aro turned over to tho weights and measures office. Seek to 8m e Kny Machine Tho wlseheads see in tho play a plan to prcsorve a few remnants of tho shattered Kay muchlno which was splintered ull to flinders when O. P. Hoff nosed out Judgo Kyan for the trcasurershlp. The wlseheads say that Kay still sees a hope for the governorship to come his way four years from now and ho wishes to havo a ood work ublo sort of vehicle In which to rido und a few old war horses to pull It when ho starts out on his Journey for the gubernatorial goal. Krcd Huchtel is one of Kuy's t faithful allies, say tho wisohcads. having been deputy soaler ot ! before becoming public scrvlco commissioner.

Nineteen Hundred Eighteen was one of our most prosperous years, based both on dividends paid our stockholders and services rendered our patrons. We are now entering on our tenth year in the banking busi ness in Bend, under the same management, and with our large resources and banking connections we arc better prepared to serve than ever before. The World War, while devastating in most respects, has made for: CONSTRUCTION EFFICIENCY PRODUCTION Til RUT The same progressive, constructive policies that have built The First National Bank of Bend, from a very small bank to the largest bank in Oregon, with the same capital, will be pursued in 1919. i A definite constructive policy has been outlined, and we now have on the press a booklet on Alfalfa, written by Mr. R. A. Ward, County Agriculturist, and a well known authority. This book treats with this, the greatest of all fodder crops, from the seed to the stack. We have ordered and will sell to the farmers of this com munity 10,000 pounds of the best alfalfa seed, adapted to this -climate and country, that we could purchase. This seed, all tested, will be sold to, our farmers at cost, on one year's time, with 6 interest. Our purpose will be to see how many now acres of alfalfa we can have seeded in this community in the next two years. Results will be checked and published. Ten years' experience, backed by the judgment of many of our best farmers, has demonstrated that alfalfa is the one best crop to be raised in this section. ' ..: High priced idle irrigated land is a liability. Land seeded to alfalfa is a lucrative asset. ' Our booklet on alfalfa showing how to plant and mature this crop will be ready for distribution by January 15th, 1919. Call or write for one. Seed will be available for planting time. This is the first of our campaigns for 1919. Other workable, wealth-producing plans, backed by our judgment and money will be offered at later dates during the year.
