From tho latest number of the 'Oregon Yotor wo reprint the follow- .Iiib: . r "Kvorybody In Oregon who knows -anything about tho Rend country wants to seo The Ralles-Callfornla Highway constructed through It at tho earliest possible dato. As- n scoitfc route It Is ono continuous pnn unnamn of snow peaks, forests, con j'ons. roaring strerunsfnnd turquoise sky, with clear weather most of the year. Rend Is ono of tho llvcst clt les of Oregon, with two of tho largest industries of the Stato, and n hotel that Irwin Cobb wrote about In Sat urday Evening Post as "tho best small-town hotel In tho United States." "Rend also has nn exceeding live newspaper full of pep. Wo regret , to admit that this newspaper, the Rullctln, seems to think It can muke more progress by abuse and misrep resentation i its applied to the State Highway Commission than by the good old boosting for which Rend has been celernted. It has done everything possible to discredit the Commission, especially the former member 'from Eastern Oregon, wbo as a matter of fact has wrought powerfully to bring aobut tho early construction of tho great highway through Rend. "Ono of the Bulletin's latest sug gestions Is to have two of the three highway commissioners appointed from Eastern Oregon every other term. It thus believes it could v secure ono commissioner and while he was In ofilcc the highway would be completed. "Eastern Oregon contains less than one third of tho State's popu lation, "Western Oregon inoro than n third outside of Portland, and Portland. a full thlrd.b At present each of theso three sections is rep resented by u commissioner. "Does the Rullctln Imagine for n .minute that Western Oregon nnd Portland, comprising moro than n two-thirds majority of tho State's population, will surrender one of Its two commissioners? Or Is It Im agined that tho populous parts of Eastern Oregon which nro romoto from Rend, would sit Idly by uud permit any combination by moans of which Rud might acquire control of the Commission? "Rend will, not achieve Its wishes by nny attempted manipulation or by compulsion. It will win by get tlug tho good will of Eastern Oregon, 'Western Oregon and Portland, a Bood will that will bo warmed by tho tinthnslnsm that already exists for Rend and for the great north and south hlghwuy through it. Tho thing for Rend to do is to capitalize ' tho good will that already exists, not to wreck It by unwarranted abuse of the Highway Commission. The .Commission has accomplished won des, considering the magnitude of Its task nnd the limited funds avail able It has lot many contracts for tho highway In question nnd hnn offered yet more. Tho highway Is not being overlooked or neglected, "For a spirited comtmfnlty llko Rend to be placed In tho attitude of n chronic complalncr Is unfortuuato. Tho bnlanco of Oregon is proud of Rend nnd He ml needs tho good will of tho bnlanco of tho Snt Tho way to g'et thnt good will Is not by creat ing resentment. The people through nut Oregon who havo had experience with tho Highway Commission nnd Wnow Its members as squaro shooters do not tako kindly to vindictive slanders at Its expense." Tho foregoing explanation from Rrother Chnpmnu us to how Con tral Oregon can get action on Its highways from the state commission coullrms tho Idea wo have been nur turing for sumo time, namely, that while he Is long on statistics ho Is usually short on facts, Qlvu him u census report or tablo of election returns nnd ho will produce compar isons and percentages until ono of the Lonesome Runny goats begins to nibble his typewriter ribbon. In this chosen Held he cannot be reach ed because he has his facts collected by someone else. Start him off, how over, on an article where ho'hns to get tho facts himself ho does not get them. And that's the trouble with what he bas to say in tho article ANNEX .CRESCENT. Having been nollvo In tho move ment which resulted In tho division of Crook county to form Jefferson county and later, Deschutes, and having urged In tho campaign tho ndvautngCH to follow from tho creation of n .smaller county wo an ticipate that wo may bu called In consistent In what wo me about to propose. Wo seo no Inconsistency, however, but only n logical stop In tho rear rangement of county Hues In Central Oregon. Tho proposal Is that tho northern section' of Klamath county, from n point somowhero south of Crcscout, be annexed to Deschutes county. As residents of Klamath county the people of Crescent nro lthdor n sovcro handicap duo to tholr dis tance from tho county seat. Dis tance 100 miles by road In tho sum mer time, they nro avail further away In tho wlntor when It Is almost Im possible for them to travel tho road to tho south, uud all tho year round they nro unable to communicate with Klamath Falls by telephone, and by telegraph only by going way round the state. Their relation to Rend, on tho other hand, Is much closer. Their mall comes from Rend, they have n telephone connection with Ilend, tho road to Rand is tho one they travel all tho year round, most of them, wo Imagine, bank In Ilend, nnd they coino to Rend to tako tho train. n no toil a born. So long as the Voter Is nrgulnK 1M 8,,on' uo,m ,B rr " moro from a lot of Incorrect assumptions ,0Klcal com,t' Heul rr tllu" ,ha it Is Impossible to discuss n question ! Klnmnth Ktt"8 ovr W or could bo, U pf.i' "i 158 I i H Jnfi with It. It takes too much time to get It straight on the fncts. It Rro ther Chapman will find out what he Is talking about we shall bo very glad to consider with him whether or not wo wero unduly critical of tho high way commission over what it hns done on The Dalles-California high way commission over whnt it had "wore unduly critical" nnd whnt It "hod done," tho rcusonbolng that since wo last discussed whnt wo con sider tho commission's shortcomings It has actually douo somothlng. In the menutlmo. and ns a possi ble aid in getting the facts, wo re spectfully request that tho Voter point out Just how ex-Comiulsslonor Thompson "wrought powerfully to bring about tho early construction of tho great highway through Rend." Will the ter also indicate when it was tho commission "let many; .ltlt ..., 1. f.H .1... f . I t. ... ' I ""'""'" ' mu iHKiiway in ques tion?" It says "Ihe highway Is not being overlooked or uoglected." Will It say that "It was not being over looked?" If Tho Dulletln ,wen as wrong as tho Voter would havo Its renders be llove It would not have been neces sary for seven eastern Oregon coun ties to associate for tho juirpose of gottlng tholr duos from tho commis sion, nor would a member of the Rnd commercial club have felt Just ified In suggesting that a bill be Inlt- than the nppolntmaut of the mem bers of the commission. It would not havo been possible for tho chair man of the commission to muko sucn charges against ex-Commlsslonor Thompson as have been made. Hnt lot us have tho Voter's facts, nud for tho sako of general conven ience thnt section should bu a part of Deschutes county. Wo do not know that the people of Crescent would llko to sco their country n part of Deschutes county but because of tho convenience thnt would bo occasioned wo should sup- poso they would, Deschutes county, wo nro sure, would llko to seo (ho tie thnt is already cloo made closor.

W W, tho Wob bly nnd tho Red Hitherto wu havo dealt softly with this murderous crow. Tho easy ways of America, Its usual willingness to palllato and cxctire, and .ftbovo nil Its oxtromo anxiety to do nothing which might Inter fore with tho right of free speech, have permitted theso gangs to meet and plot, to foster discontent, and plan murder and runAutlon. To whnt extremes they nro ready to go wus shown In Ccntralla. Tho country knows und thu country will not bo Idlo nor fnrt until nil possibility of a repetition of such crimes is sono. They said, these murdorurs, that It was Industrialism that they fought that It was tho so-culled capitalistic system they wanted to change, but when they fired on former soldiers of the United States, members of tho American I.eglon nud repres- ntlves nC tho highest type of Amerl canlsm their true purpose Mas re vealed. They nro nntl-Amerlcan revolutionists and they havu signed their own death warrants. "The blood of tho martyrs Is the seed of thu church," and tho blood of theso young men Is the sMd from which u III spring thn mm American purpnso to exterminate this cruw that would pull down the Stars and- Stripes und talse In Us place tho red flag of ruvolutlon. Why Is it thou that tho nation, without d'lscusslou and without urgu mont, almost ns n matter of courso, bus uulvorsnlly given Itself over to celebration of armistice day, which saw the und of tho Oreat war? In tho first placo, wo suppose tho day is celebrated because of that very thing about tho war which Is suggested In tho namo, "Croat." It Is fitting that wo should celebrate tho end of tho greatest war tho world has over known. Hore, as In most of tho warring nations, thu thoughts and hopes-und lives of moro people woro uounii up In tho strugglo than had ever been In a war before. With unnlversurles rqcur tho thoughts nnd emotions of tho former day und tho relief that tho nation icii. a year ago is poured out nguln In today's celebration. Royond thu Idea of personal re lief and Joy at tho end of the wnr was thvro not something deeper, however, that caused tho rejoicing of n year ugo? Did wn not then cole hrato tho Independence day of tho world, freedom from the shackles that had ibound nations und peoples and classes? PriiHsfunlsm wus end-, cd and tho world looked forward to a now ora. Wo felt wo had como to tho end not only of tho Oreat war but of all war. And to day all those same hopes and as pirations nro renewed within us. Tho year has not seen the progress that wo expected toward tho Iiottor day hut progress bus boon mndo and tho futuro mill bolds promise. .And so wo celobrato tho end of tho wur nnd, Just uh at Now Years, tho hope In a now era.
