Tlio Investigation of tho Honhnm Palls reservoir alto which lms beon laado by Professor W. O. Cro3by In the past (ow weeks has taken him yrctty thoroughly over tho Deschutes wlley. Although tho reservoir slto Ksolf covers n coin pa rath ety limit Ed area tho geology of tho wliolo section has a bearing on tho problem which ho has had under considera tion and accordingly ho has visited practically every portion of it and has scon Its lakes and gorges, its lava (lows and caves. Its moun- Tnlns and extinct volcanoes. To the trained geologist every fea ture of tho country was of great in terest. There was something dlf Ifceront on evory hand. Not only wore j&o geological formations flno ex amples of their kinds but tho ques tions they suggested kept the mind of tho observer constantly on tho alert. Because thcro was so much to bo soen hero and bo many things that .required so little explanation to bo thoroughly undorstood'it seomed un fortunato that popular knowledge of It all might not bo moro wido spread, and Professor Crosby agreed heartily with tho suggestion, made fo him ono' day, that tho United States geological survey ought to bo interested 'to come in to make topographic maps of tho valley and geological studies of special areas Buch as tho dewberry crater. On such foundations could be built nn acquaintance with tho country that would mean a world of interest to qur students and many others who (kill have ininds open to the wondcra it' nature. Can't-wo do something to- got tho Geological survey interested. benefited. It should bo needless to point out thatnot merely the com mon courtosy between communities, but also solf Interest, dictated the prompt extending of aid, ' Tho mill could not bo saved, but 4,000,000 foot of lumber woro kopt from tha llnmos. ' In n time of high prices In n growing community, tho preservation of n stock valued tit JSO.OOO should surely meet with no criticism. Again, it has boon stated that tho city wnn left without protection wlillo tho flro fighters worked at tho mill. If this woro true it would indeed bo a grave chargo, but tho fact of tho matter Is thnt Jlio aux iliary flro truck, with n largo enough number of members of tho department., to man it, and n com petent driver, was on hand ready to'an3or any and nil calls. None came, and iir tho meantime the re mainder of tho department was ef fecting n largo saving of property directly connected with the pros perity of Dend, Decidedly, the work of tho de partment was worth while, and the action-of thejnayor in ordoring tills work should' need no Justification. IN LINE OF DUTY. Slcce the disastrous ilrd or Wed nesday -night, resulting" In the de struction of the Pine Tree lumber mllL and planer, considerable dis cuJon has .been heard concerning tkftdrisbt of Mayqr Jt A. Eases'-to orAer the new Are truck and a nuta-ber-oX men1 of the volunteer fire de partment" ,'fbr.. duty outside, of the city, Jt Js,to ,bo regretted . that in a number of instances this action has beea"s,verely criticized. for .many years It has been con-i sldered a matter of duty for one community to send its flro fighting equipment to another town In u cas of -great danger. True, tho Pine Trco Lumber Co. Is not an or ganized municipality, but tho con tinued operation pt Its plant was of as much benefit to Dend as the continued cxlsfenco of any town in the. county. Tho dally output of approximately 75,000 feet of lum ber was handled through Dend. Supplies for tho plant and for its employes, close to a hundred In number, were furnished through Bend, and all classes of business TKOOPS IN SIIIBKIA. Wo have received from an army recruiting office "the substance of an official statement recently nuido by Presldont Wilson with regard to Amcricantroops in Siberia." , According to this statement, American troops wcro first sent to Siberia for tho purposo of aiding tho Czocho-Slovak armies that had formed thcro and wcro in danger from "hostile" armies "apparently organized" and "often composed of enemy prlsonors of war." Another purposo was to "steady any efforts of tho Russians at self-defense," or tho "establishment of law and or der in which they might be willing to accept assistance." Still further on It appears that tho troops aro now kept in Siberia In order to support John F. Stevens In his work of supervising the Si berian railways, a plan suggested by Japan. To all of which wo say simply this: That If the reasons for keep ing our troops in Siberia nro no moro clearly denned In tho minds of tho authorities than in tho state ment from which wo quote, then they have no business befng there. Tho Czccho-Slovak armies wcro saved long ago. So far as (hey aro concerned, our mission was ended some months back. Steadying Rus sian efforts at solf-defenso Is some what disingenuous. There seems to be good evidence, that a lot of. the self-defense is on tho other side. And although it may be Bol shevik It is Russian nnd wo have no business mixing in it any more. We are not at war with any part of that unhappy country. It was probably necessary and advisable to Bend troops to Siboria In tho begin ning, but the necessity has passed and they ought to come homo. m t ,llJU ,, of dissatisfaction.

'' Tho lesson to tho local merchant Is one of advertising, nnd of tho merchandising advantage ho ban In his homu town. Though poralstont advertising thero lias become oh tnbllshed in the mind of tho buylnr public tho names of lmimla of al most everything URed in tho homo. Housowlvos 1uy brands because thoy know what thoy nro celling, nnd they aro unwilling to taWo any thing which is not advertised bo causo of tho Uncertainty In tho transaction. Tho merchant who recognizes these facta and .takes advantage of them by advertising and establish ing his own business In tho publlo mind will get the trado. BRANDS. Somo rather Interesting facts for the merchant to consider have come out of tho government sale of food now being carried on through the postofflce. Newspaper reports from Cottage Grovo- say that tho salo is going badly thoro because housewives do not like tho lack of guarantee of THE MONDELL. BILL. Opposition to tho Mondell bill pro viding for farm Iioiucb tor roturued Boldlors, recontly reported favorably from "Nick" Slnnott'n commlttco In tho House, Is said to bo weakening. During tho commlttco hearing objec tions to tho measure woro voiced by eastern Interests unacquainted with tho great reclamation possibilities of tho west nnd south but now that tho bill Is in the House tho fight against It is wcakonlng. Only recontly tho Now York Times, one of tho leading nowspapors of tho country, Indorsed tho bill, thoroby showing that it would bo Impossible to perfect any llno-up of tho city against the country on tho measure and adding greatly to tho possibilities of Its passago' Wo lmvo urged that tha p'oopld of this section who lmvo its Interests at heart do what thoy can with mqm bors of congress to obtain votes for tho Mondell bill and wo aro happy to say that wo have had expressions of willingness to aid from widely separated sections of tho country, tho last coming from.

To tho Editor: In tho Orcgonlan of AuRust 20. appeared an nrtlclo stating that tha amount of road contracts ttia,t .lias been let by the State Hlghway'com mission on August 1st, 1919, was nearly soventcon million dollars, covering nearly all sections of the iitato""nnd providing for various kinds of roads. I read the article with interest because ono of thu thre'e great highways of tho, stato passes directly through Deschutes county. Bend und in fuct all of Cen tral Oregon, and I wan anxious to see If we wore forgotten. I found thnt wo wero, for out of that very largo sum of money, Tho Dalles California highway (tho one passing through Deschutes County) had or would recelvo tho insignificant sum or about HO, 000. 00, This I assume will bo spent on a short piece of road neur Tho Dalles. Central Oregon will got nothing. When wo stop to quality and becauso thoro is no op-J consider that Tho Dalles-California portunlty to return goods In case highway pases through tho ontlro I Demonstrations That Demonstrate A I" Tumalo Farmer Has Two Grade Cows of the Same Age and Breeding-- "&" -jfi One has a scrub calf, sired by a scrub bull.

Tho re port mentioned iihnvo will show what his money In being used for. In (ho report ho will boo thnt Instead of It being put Into tho trunk linos of tho state Including Thu Dalles- California highway, that all ovor tho western part of tho ntato nnd somo I Paris of Knalorn, Oregon tilde roads and by-ways aro bolng built with It. whllo wo continue to run ovor bad roads to pay (ho bills for building good roiuls In other purtH of .tho stato, Tho question that presents itself is: who Is responsible? Can wo say that It Is tho Highway commission? In my opinion n lot, but not all, the blame may bo placed on tho com mission. Thnt tho commission have neglected this sodtlon cannot bo dis puted. Tho balance of the blame can bo placed on ourselves, on the commorclnl clubs and thu county courts of the counties through which thu rond passes. Wo linvo boon playing n gimo of watchful waiting probably on (ho theory thnt tho old saying that "all things come to thoso who wait" Is good business policy. Tho hotter thoory to follow Is what might bo Implied by that othur saying "Tho Lord helps those who help tlioni solves." I do not bolloro thnt wo hnvo been exerting enpugh pressure on tho commission, or thnt what efforts wo lmvo made hnvo not boon follow ed up consistently by thoso In au thority. During tho early part of (ho year a good start was made when Hand, Tho Dalles anil other 'commu nities got together nnd mado urgent requests on tho commission for aid, and got tho commission to realize thnt thcio was somo merit to our position, but wo failed to follow tho matter with tho same stronous ef forts that wo started with nnd tho result wns wo wcro put on tho sholf for another year, Hveu tho small amount allotted to us In this county on tho main highway Is still unused. Unless wo change our tactics wo will continue in tho snmo condition for tho next several years, The vuluo of this section of a good road from the Columbia Hlvor to tho Cali fornia tfnu through Control Oregon can not bo estlmkted In dollars and cents. Our part of tha stnto will lug In development until ww got good roads. Will wo got them? Yes, If wo go after thorn right. In order to go after It right wo slrauld continually talk good roads, Continually urge, tha building of Tho Dales-California highway, through tho press and every other agency possible; bco that our legislators protect us properly in the legislative road program oach session; suo that our county courts nrq on tho Job every mlnuto nnd that our commer cial clubs nnd other civic bodies nro busy with tho commission and tho legislature at ovory opportunity. Un dor tho prosont Stato and Kodoral laws enough money is provldod to build ovory through highway in tho stato, besides many of tho side roads, during tho next two or throo years. Out or tho moneys provided wo aro entitled to nnd should received suffi cient to build Tho Dalleri-Californiu highway. Ily united and continuous effort wo can get tho money, other wise wo will continue to lmvo to visit othor parts or tho stato to rido on good roudB ror several yoars to como.
