Frofesfsors0 Covers suggestion, re ported Infi'Fhe- Bulletin today, that instead ot carrying on experimen tal work: ln'( widely scattered parts ot the county tho agricultural col lego hereafter concentrato its ef forts on ono tract is in line with tho plan Initiated last year for the establishment ot an agricultural station in Deschutes county. At that time, It will bo remembered, President Kerr and tho board of regents of tho collego were here and discussed the plan at a meet ing ot tho Commercial club. While necessarily avoiding any plcdgo that tho experiment station js-ould bo established President Kerr pointed out just tho steps that Bhould bo taken to secure It, Including the collection of data on local agricultural conditions and Seeds, and other facts ot interest to the authorities who have it in their power to mako the decision and supply tho funds. If anything Is to bdono toward carrying out the idea it Is none too soon to start on tho work and In tho meantime assistance should be given, if needed, toward securing tho land desired by Mr. Powers for the smaller enterprise. The same amount of funds spent this year on agricultural work in the county will be available next year and this will be sufficient, he points out, for the undertaking he proposes. An experiment farm on some sqale,, then, would.be assured. If by making an effort the enterprise can be made larger and more Impor tant we should make the effort. TIMBER DEPLETION. ' '.' t.ii R. ,A.t Long, of Kansas City, one of tho prominent lumbermen of the United 'State,' whoso companies have recently made great purchases ot timber. land in Oregon against tho time when their supplies of southern plu'e are exhausted, was quoted recently as saying that the present "timber 'of tho country would last indefinitely. Against this we have a recent report of tho Forest service on timber depletion which suggests a contrary condition. It iS true, that the Forest service report po'lnts out what must be done to Insure a timber supply and It is- possible that Mr. Long bases his gtatoxqeilt on a belief that it will be done. It that Is so it Is time to start, "Tho depletion of timber," the Forest service says, "Is not due primarily to the use of our forests but Id tie.fr devastation. Devasta tion has taken place In various ways,1 by- forest fires and by methods ot cutting "that destroy, or prevent new timber growth. Depletion is also duo to a failure to use land suitable .for timber growing, Tho various facts and figures of this report are of great general in- NEWBERRY CRATER When Professor Crosby enmo to Bend last summer to begin his study ot tho Uonham falls reservoir slto ho entered Deschutes county by auto mobile from Jofforson county. When approaching Trail crossing over the Crooked river ho wns attracted by tho tremendous chasm through which tho river passes near that point and at once said that It should bo desig nated n national monument. Now, in his report on the reservoir, which has just como to hand, ho mnkes a like suggestion concerning the New berry crater region. Tho words of the report are as follows: "Wo feel that Nowberry crater Is comparable in scenic and geologic interest with Crater lake and recommend its designation as a national park or monument." Residents ot Central Oregon havo long known ot tho great attractions to bo found nt tho Newberry crater. Hero are East nnd Paulina lakes, with their hot springs nnd medicinal baths; Paulina peak, from which the view extends on a clear day from Mount Adams on tho north to Shasta on the south glass buttes, lava tunnels nnd fields ot sand and pum ice that comblno to make the wholo a plnco of exceeding Interest nnd beauty. Now, to have a man ot Pro fessor Crosby's ability and attain ment confirm tho local feeling and lend the weight ot his authority to the suggestion that the region bo made a national park Is very satis factory. Newberry crater Is, In its way, Just as interesting as Crater lake. If wo could persuade the proper authori ties that It should be mado a park it would bring tourists without num ber to Bend. CUT IT OUT It is chiefly in tho Interest of au tomobile owners that plans nro now boing mado for hard ourfaclng our city streets. That matter having boon disposed ot, wo venture to rntso our voice in bchnlt ot (ho general public that has to endure tho dally discomfort Inflicted by tho, many mo torists nnd truck drlvqrn who still persist In driving with tholr muffler wldo opon. In spite ot tho Importance of tho automobile, tho public surely has somo rights loft. They nro recog nized by n city ordinance now, un happily, moro honored In tliu breuch than In tho obsorvnnco. In other towns such ordinances aro on tho books nnd enforced. Why not hero? If tho wholo Idea is to mako Bend a. better plnco to llvo In, why not mako It so for all, nnd not merely for thoso who drive carsT Tho publicity bureau of tho demo cratlc national committee Is sending out campaign literature In envelopes with tho corner card or tho treasury department, office of the comptrol ler of tho currency. Postage is paid, If the party managers aro going to havo their paper bills paid by the government, they may bo able to got by with small campaign contributions. P. S. This stntemont is not made n the authority of nny other person. Tho Bulletin has received such en velope, containing campaign matter. SNAKE-EilEBSINCON ENTlO.M Gathering Which Is Meld Annually In North Africa Mmt De a Re. pultlvo Sight. ( After n lapse of llvo year, the an nual convention of the snake-catuM of northern Africa tins lately been held, Seventeen of tho most renowned rei tile consumera from various parts of Tunis ami Algeria took part. An extraordinary feature of the con vention wns that most of tho snake enters sencd In tho French army during the wnr, ninny of them wearing the medals they won In France. More than four hundred stnnll snakes of various sires woiv carefully measured nnd distributed to tho com petitors. A score-kevper watched each man, nnd the spectators cheered the "eaters" nt the top of their olees. Tho "eating" consist! of forcing a stmko into tho mouth as quickly ns possible, hut no hunching or rolling up of the reptiles was nllOwed. The snake hnd to he forced In head first, and as soon as the (nil hnd disap peared, which It usually did with ex trnnrdlnnry rapidity, tho compvtltm quickly snatched It out of his mouth nnd Inserted another. The tnnn who Mulshed his 11 snakes first was adjudged the winner, nnd was presented with n prize consist ing of n round hall studded with brass nulls nnd hung with tints chains, to which were attached silver and gold coins.

Location' nt Uranus. The latest calculations, based on the perturbations of Uranus, nro stated by lr. Brie Doollttlo to show that the hypothetical planet beyond Neptuuo Is neatly four billion miles from the sun, ami requires 28,1 years to complete n revolution In Its orbit. It Is much smaller than other distant pin nets, with a mass only six times that of the earth. This Is a secret of Its eluslveuess, and Its discovery Is exacted to reveal n minute body of only tho twelfth or thlrti'vnth magni tude.

He has studied Its possibilities and made the public seo them; he has opened up Its attrac tions and enlarged Its uses. Thoroughly trained in the techni cal knowledge essential to one in lus position, he is also a high typ ot sportsman and out-of-doors enthus iast. With tho Deschutes forsst Physician Could Hardly Be Expected to Rejoice In Patient's Exposition of Imagination, Perkins wns feeling decidedly queer: he. couldn't get on with his work; he couldn't do nnythtng. So ho decided to pay a visit to the doctor. "I don't feel up to tho mark," he said to tho man of medicine. 'Can you glvo me a good tonic!" With pureed lips tho doctor sup veyed him for n moment or two. and, rising from his chair, remarked: "Has It eer occurred to you that there a great deal In Imagination. Mr. Perkins!" "Certainly, doctor," nnswered Per kins. 'Then go out of this surgery and Imagine that there's nothing the mat ter with you. Come back In n week and let me know how you feel I" Tho patient went, doctored himself nnd returned to the phystclnn at the appointed time. "Ah, ah," said the doctor. "You are feeling better now, I cun see. Didn't I tell you there was a great deal In Imagination!" "That's true," snld Perkins. "What Is your charge!" "Five dollars." said the doctor. "Well, Imagine you've got It I" said Perkins.
