RE FAIR HOME;
equip them, will conduct a campaign
of publicity, will attract thousands
to it; will promote the intercuts that
inuuii piont to cenrai Oregon; win
puronlio such an attraction to the
extent that It wll bo a success; will
bo ablo to tako care of tho natural
growth of such nn undertaking; will
huvo tho facilities with which to ac
commodate the visitors; will havo
tho attractions that will appeal to
the visitors. For these reasons and
those ulono Hcnd believes that aho
should bo the homo of the Deschutes
county fnlr.
if tho farmers of the county be
llevo that Hcnd can supply thla need
to a blltor advantage than Dend can
supply this need to a better advant
age than any other city, then Dend
should bo the home of this fair, dis
regarding any other sentimental rea
sons. Dend believes she can provide
a fulr of greater credit to Central
Oregon's industries and agriculture
than any other city.
Every farmer known it takes
money, and lots of it, to promote an
enterprise like a county fair. Every
farmer knows that It wll tako attend
ance to mako a fair a success. Every
farmer knows from whnt locality
nioroltlmn SO percent of the attend
ance will come. Every farmer knows
that a Deschutes county fair will
havo to grow. Every farmer knows
what town can best accommodate this
growth. Every farmer knows tint
when ho goes to a fair ho wants to
bo suro that ho will bo accommodat
ed. Eery farmcrkuows what city in
best In a position to mnke him most
.comfortable.
A fnlr In n large measure Is n bus
iness proposition. It must bo a busi
ness. propostlon If it Is to be success
ful. . Wthout a firm foundation upon
which to start a fair will hnvo a hard
struggle, but when helped along with
more thnn 120,000 on tho start n
county fnlr In Dond will bo wall along
tho road to success, financially.
Every farmer wants tho fair to bo a
financial success. Tho fair, to bo the
financial success desired by
every -
body should ho located in Dend.

WHY THE

IN BEND?

Ako for Maintenance Includ
ed In Cuse to Do Heard by
Commission.
In nn amended application filed to
day, but prepared before the starting
of tho settlors' suit against, tho C. O.
I. company which has as Its aim tho
discontinuing of C. O. I. control, tho
company petitions tho state public
scrvlco commission for permission to
charge $2.80 conts per aero for main
tenance fees. Tho petition is In ef
fect n reply to the answer filed by tho
settlers to the original application
filed a year ago asking for $2 por
acre, and will come up for hearing
beforo the commission on April 1, In
Deschutes, tho tlmo nnd place set for
tho hearing ur. tho original request.
In addition to asking nn 80 cent
advance from tho rate first suggest
ed, tho company, in Its amended ap
plication desires a sufficient Increase
to pay interest on tho original In
vestment represented in its irrigation
plant. What this should amount to
Is not specified.
Company Loser, Declare!.
In practically all essentials, tho
amendment follows tho lines of tho
first petition, setting forth that neith
er principal nor interest has been
paid on the $850,000 bond issuo of
1910, declaring that present main
tenance fees are Insufficient, that
money has been lost on the old sched
ule of malptcnanco fess, and that
.A 9 J
largo replacement expenditures arc
now faced with no funds with which
to finance them.
The nmonded application gives no
specific reason as to why tho SO cents
In addition to the $2 at first asked,
should bo collected, and in fact.
! makes no mention of this previous
request. Present charges are at the
rate of 80 cents and $1 per acre.
