RATE UILIj AND NEWSPAPERS .Instances of n. inlsundcrstnndlnK of tho results to bo expected from tho paBsngo of tho four nnd five per cent Interest rnto bill brought out by Mr. Gollohur nt tho Commercial club meeting yesterday bIiow whnt wide spread Ignornnco exists on tho sub ject. To tho person who Is not ac quainted with business affairs, tho Idea of such law appeals nt onco. Being told that Interest rates nro to bo fixed by law nt four nnd flvo per cent, ho says, 'Thnt Is good. It will bo much better If Intorest rates nro lowered," but In saying this ho ns numos that money will continue to bo loaned as before, tho only differ ence bolng in tho Intorest rnto. Here, of course, ho is mistaken. If tho measure should pass, loans inn do thereafter would have to bo at tho rates fixed. Tho point Is that loans would not hare to be made, nnd, with InTestmont opportunities of every kind in other states whero no such limit is placed on Interest rntot. the'ro would bo no loans in Oregon at all. From tho newspaper viewpoint special Interest attaches to ono por tion of Mr. Gollehur's remarks. Af ter saying that the nowspapers of the Btnto had already taken up the tight against tho interest measure, ho pointed out that it was not fair to expect them to wage the battlo alone, and this will appeal to all ns abso lutely correct. Tho newspaper is ex pected to tako tho lead in matters pertaining to tho public welfare, but, at tho samo time. It has n right to ex pect that it will be supported and up held In Its work. Fortunately, the newspapers of Bend havo always received hearty support, nnd they will undoubtedly c ntlnuo to reccivo it. they romnln to tell another story to u different rnco. Of tho flvo different spots whoro tho plcturo writing Is found, tho most ncccsslhlo to Bond is just oft tho Tumnlo road and near tho town of Tumnlo. Hero n sluglo rock shows pictures apparently intondod to represent n man, tho sun nnd a horse. On tho rock slldo that bord ers tho newly opened road botwoon Sparks ami Dovil's lakes thoro nro as many as sovon different sots of pic turds, nnd on tho trail from Tumnlo creek to Tumnlo lake thoro Is a stono with two characters on It. Moro extonstvo and elnhornto drawings than nny of theso are found, wo nro told, mi a largo rock on tho old Prlnovillo road from tho 'Mllllonn valley, nnd on rocks In n canyon on the east slda of Tumnlo creek, threo or four miles from town. Possibly thoro nro others of which somcotio will now tell us and possib ly thoro Is still someouo hero who enn say what tho Blgns mean. Wo trust this may bo so. Whether or not wo loam what tho signs moan, sentiment for their pres ervation should bo dovoloned. Van dals havo marked over them in some places and there Is always a possi bility that they will bo destroyed, which would bo moit unfortunate for whatever Is of Interest In our out of door country should bo zealously preserved. A nows Item from Corvallls says that at least 12 of tho school of for estry graduates In tho last three years are now pulling down salaries ranging from $2500 to $4000 In tho logging industry. Hero is' pretty good evidenco of tho valuo of an ed ucation. If nny high school grad uate, or others qunliflcd, are hesitat ing between college and a job, here is a littlo fact thnt should help them to reach a decision. R&G CORSETS may bo relied upon to produce a correct figure and afford ease and comfort at all times. There is much to be known about the choosing of a Corset in order that it might give the greatest satisfaction. Tho R. & G. Corsets is made in many dilVerent models, ono for every figure.

They suggest, also, tho Importance of giving any aid pos- slblo looking toward a change in theso rates. Not only In Bend, but all over the Northwest, lumber operations are be ing curtailed because of the slacken ing in orders noticeable since the new freight rates went Into effect. For tho week ending September 11, the West Coast Lumbermen's association reports only 782 cars of new busi ness for rail delivery, a flguro 1500 cars below normal and 1000 cars short of tho average for weekly new business Immediately prior to the ef fective date of -the emergency freight rate increase. As a result mills ate 'down." At La Grande, wo under stand, tho mills cutting tho samo tim ber as in Bend, are shut down. Hero wo have seen ono shift at n local mill discontinued. Nevertheless, and in Bpite of slack business, there is no suggestion of n shutdown here, and undoubtedly there will be none, un less so little lumber Is moved that yard capacity is exhausted. Companies that can, and will, con tinue to operate under such adverso conditions are a big asgoj to a com munity, and that is why we say Bend Is fortunate. Most of our eggs are in one bnBket, however, and if tho busi ness interests of the town can do anything to help keep them safe it ehould bo dono. (From the columns of Tho Bulletin of September 22, 1905.) J. H.

INDIAN SIGNS Ono of tho curious and Interesting things of this Central Oregon coun try of which, wo believe, no men tion has over boon made is the sign, or plcturo, writing to bo fouud on rock faces In various sections. Rel ics of a distant past, what they all mean or under what circumstances they wero drawn on tho rocks is a mystery. To those, however, whoso minds travel back over tho years when tho country was Inhabited only by Indians, they aro sources of nover oiidlng speculation and wonder. Equally mystifying aro tho meth ods used by tho Indians in making those drawings and tho material em ployed. As seen today they aro of a dull red color, faded somowhat, but in most cases othqrwlso unaffected by tho action of tho weather. The mawftffc tbpy wero intended tp tell have "long efnco been delivered," but CHILDREN TO STUDY STOCK Wyomlnn Teacher Aaks for Pictures of Different Breeds and Types of Animals. Times have changed.
