Slstcra, Redmond and Laldlaw (now Tumalo) wero the towns where fairs wore then b- liiCjhcld and Jho ability of each to cajrc for a couniy lair was cunsiuei ed. ' Tho county was not formed so that everything which depended on that. Including a Deschutes county fair, was dropped. In 1916, when tho division measure carried, tho war was on and by tho spring ot tho next year we were In It, with no tlmo to think about fairs, and that condi tion continued until this year. This year wo havo been ablo to Klvo more tlmo to such matters. Tho Tumalo fair has returned ns a two dny show, instead of one as formerly, Redmond's potato show has been put on for threo day. in stead of two nnd there has been an exhibit at tho Grange hall. Sisters, has dropped' out. And now discussion of a county fair revives.'' Bond, as tho county seat. Is looked upon by some as tho place for tho fair. Tumalo and Redmond, as the locations ot existing fairs, are each anxious to fcefe it come their way. Presumably, In the next few months we may expect to seo something of a contest over the location. As matters stand today it seems to us that Redmond is the logical place for the fair. The , fact that the town is on the railroad and has hotels put it ahead of Tumalo for the honor and compared with Bend it has the advantage of being closer connected with the agricultural sec tions, as well as several year's sue cesfjftl experience .with fairs. Bend is larger, but It,s Interests are more given to 'the industrial than the agrl cultsra'i! a"mi its' record of fair pro motion is iJcfttf good one. We should be glad to have an ex prflsston of opinion on the subject from our readers. , , tlUX- I I I i-J CONCERNING THE COMMISSION. In connection Svith the proposal made at the last meeting of the Com mercial club1 -to Initiate a bill pro viding for the construction of The Dalles-California' highway It was sug gested that provision might also be laelttded fort-he election of the mem bers ot the state highway commis sion instead 'of their appointment by the governor, as at present. In con nection -with this wo venture to sug gest the following. The objection to the present method of selecting the highway commission Is that Western Oregon men predominate. As a result no other section of the .jslate receives much of any consideration unless it happens that the third member is a resident. So it has been that Uma tilla county, with W. L. Thompson living in Pendleton, has been favored in the highway program over all other sections east of tho mountains. So far as votes are concerned western Oregon has the strength and, unless provision Is made to the con trary, might easily elect all the com mission. Presumably any bill would make It necessary that one member of the commission, at least, came from tho east of the mountains, but with only one commissioner out of three, eastern Oregon would be no Doner on it tney were elected in stead of being appointed. Hero then is tho suggestion. Let tho commission be bo constituted that In ono out of every three years eastern Oregon will have a majority ot its members. This could easily bo arranged and would ussuro that for a portion of tho time wo would get results .on our highways. Tho rest ebilhl'bo loft to western Oregon. THE BURNS MAIL ROUTE. Dond and Burns are to have some outside support In thoir effort to ob tain Ibrougk mall connections. Tho Oregon Journal has taken the matter up and mny bo ablo to prod Portland Into taking an Interest. Bays tho Journal; "Whyshourd' Burns mail facilities be so crude,? Why shou)d mail routes net bejesMldhshfd so Contral Oregon could be brought Into closer commuhlcaUqtL with Western Ore- 'uppermost lu tho minds ot cltlzons ot Ihnt section ot tho statu. Burns has only ono mentis of obtaining mall nnd that Is via tho stub railroad at Crane. Tho .result Is that two days clapae'boforb a letter mailed lit Port land reaches Its destination. "All this tlmo Is occupied bocntiRo thc-lSlJor or tho package travels around lu circles Instead ot by n shorter nnd moro direct rout p. "To remedy this delay tho Com mercial club ot'Uurus has petitioned the postoRlcq department for a mntl routo from Bend to Burns, or tho .extension ot. the prR0iit routo from Canyon City, or both. Tho Bond route would mnko it possible to ob tain Ynall in about 20 hours from Portland, whllo tho Canyon City ex tension would at least offer somo re lief. ,, - ' f'Thb rbuto out ot Canyon City Is now operated ou a dally fechodulq half way to Burns. Why should it not be possible to extend this sorvlco to Burns, oven on a schodulo of cvery-othor day? Tho contractor In chargo ot vthe Canyon City route says that this could bo dono without an Increftso ot expense. "Burns wants Its routo to Crano left undisturbed, nnd it some facilit ies are not provided for tho mail from Western Oregon, Idaho will continue to tnko more nnd moro money out of Oregon through exten sion of Its trado zono. "Except Burns people, nobody should be moro Interested in tho pro posed better mall facilities than nro tho business people of. Portland." "When tho last section of tho John Day highway Is completed E. O. Woodnll can coma to Portland from Long Creek any tlmo In tho year. This is a particularly vital link to Grant county." This from tho Port land Oregonlan. It is reprinted hero to suggest that tho Highway commis sion is taking a lot moro interest In the John Day highway than In The Dalles-California highway. Former highway commissioner W, L. Thompson, who was a member of the Portland business men's excurison to Klamath Falls, Is re ported In the Klamath Falls Herald, as saying that "now f tho trunk lines were well under war, tho lo cal roads would receive attention." Wonder If he thinks Tho . Dalles- California highway is Just a lo cal road. In view of the results claimed o havo been observed following these gland operations in Califor nia wo expect the state will soon be claiming that the fountain of. perpetual youth is located there' Instead of In Flordla, as Ponce de .Leon onre believed. ?-, .At,the close ot his first .day's .busi ness in Philadelphia years ago John; Wanamaker found that the receipts had been 12t.C7. The 67 cents he saved and the $24 he put aside for advertising. Ho has been advertising ever since. And he has been fairly successful In business. A friend with the early rising bug told us that he has discovered the best place in town to hear tho seven o'clock whistle. It's tho break fast tabic, he says.
