General discussion' of tho policy to be pursued by tho Ilend Commercial club in regard to pushing discussion of The Dalles-California highway was precipitated at tho Commercial club luncheon yesterday by tho read ing of a letter from Sen, Jay It. Up ton of Prlncvllle, originator of the "Invisible hand" phrase, current during the recent session of the leg islature, urging tho club's support of a movo ,to have tho road south from Dend'to Crater lako graded and graveled, "Ilond will not reap the full bene fit duo until tho tourist can reach Crater lake. The Deschutes county court Is to be commended on seeking tho building of this road, and tho pooplo of Deschutes county should lend every aid possible. A paved road to Crater lake Is an ultimate necessity, but grading and graveling should bo thb present aim," was tho gist of tho communication. T. H. Foley romarked that Senator Upton won to bo commondod for evolving a constructive plan, adding that this was tho first tlmo he bad ever hoard of such a thing. President It. S. Hamilton an nounced that a roads committee of tho club would bo appointed by to morrow, nnd that this matter might welt bo placed In Its hands. Heiiuto Hecord Itecnlted. II, J. Ovcrturf remarked that It Is significant that Senator Upton took no part In boosting for Tho Dalles- California highway at tho legislative session, although ho was Interested In tho bill which was passed, granting tho highway commission the right to select tho routes of all roads built under Its supervision. Mr. Ovcrturf was of Iho opinion that tho highway should be pushed to completion north of Ilend first, to get support of tho centers of population along Its course. Ho mentioned that at pros ont tlioro nro flvo tentative routes for this highway under consideration, one of thorn bolng the canyon route, which ho termed a "grand stall." Mr. Foley withdrew Ii Is support of tho Prlncvillo lawmaker, stating that ho onco inoro feared tho "invisible hand." Clydo M. McKay and E. L Vlnnl boosted for tho south end of tho road, J. D. Miner and A. Whlsf- tiant supporting Mr. Ovcrturf. ItelicnrliiR Not Aoked. A tologrnm from W. C. Dlrdsall, asking tho club's support of tho ho tel association policy to pay tho old telephono rates until tho matter Is finally adjusted, wns tabled on mo tion of D. O. McPherson, after A. Whlsunnt had characterized Bird sail's request as asking support of Illegal action. Ho said tho club should go on record as favoring a re hoarlng nnd reduced rates. No ac tion to this offect was taken, A merchants' bureau as a part of tho Cnmmorclnl club, to bring bot tor cooperation between tho club, tho morchants nnd farmers ot tho com munity, wns advocated by II, B. Al ton. D. O, McPherson said tho Mer chants' association already had a committee working toward such co operation, nnd at his motion a com mltteo from tho club was ordorcd ap pointed to moot with them. Mr. Mc Pherson, Ctaronco Mnunholmor nnd F, Domont woro nppolntcd. II, II. Jones, field secretary for the Near East Hollot nnd China Ilellof commlttoo ot Oregon, nsked tho ap pointment ot a committee from the club to assist ropresontntlvei ot tl.ut body. hero In putting on a drlvo here In May or June, Tho committee was ordered appointed. HIGHWAY FOLLOWED BY NEW COMMUNITY lliirnl Center lo lln XnMMird nt W'lilln flock Marie IWIMn ,f f'onitrurflori of Htaffl Ilond, Construction of Tho Dallcs-Call-fornla highway between Ilend and ftodmond has mado possible tho formation of a now center of rural llfo In Deschutes county, whlcn la being evidenced In plans for the building of a community hall at White Hock. Tho fact tbat the high way runs directly through this farm ing section Instead ot skirting it as did tho former road, connects tho farms of tho district in a community unit. Tho site for the new hall is six m.lles south of Itedmond. A two aero tract on which the building Is to be located has been donated by O. W. Beaver. PICK STUDENTS AS EASY MARKS "Hopo springs eternal" In the breast of the bamboozler, and wlin It comes to "get-rlch-qulck" schemes, a now one has Just come to light which has the "Spanish prisoner" backed off tho map for bald foolish ness, according to Principal Matk A. Paulson ot the local high school, to whose attention has come a sample of the plan In question. But for tho discovery of tho scheme by tho school authorities. It Is in or der to suppose tbat In the near Iut ture every boy In Bend might bo seen rolling about tho streets a brand-new auto tire, which he had acquired at no expense save a few hours' canvassing. Literature sent out by a company, with offices at Los Angeles, was addressed to tho president ot the high school gradu ating class, presumably for want of a "sucker list," and In hope that the students might prove Innocent enough to accept tho bait. The offer, says Mr. Paulson, is ex ceedingly attractive. There Is a book of artistic coupons each worth $1 given away absolutely free to tho recipient! He has but to sell these coupons to his friends 21 of them send the ntaney to the company and receive a tiro for tho car ho Is presumed to own. A wide variety ot makes cf tires Is mentioned. Next, the holder of the coupon malls It to tho otflco of tho company and receives for his dollar a similar book of coupons, which ho Is at lib' erty to sell to his friends, and so on as long, says tho school official, .as the neighborhood crop ot feeble minded holds out. The only drawback to tho scheme, ho feels. Is that somebody might purchase one ot tho coupons. GOOD ROADS FOUND ON TRIP TO BURNS The Bend-Burns stage returned Tuesday evening from Its first trip through to the Harney couuty seat. Driver William Frailer stated that tho road is in good condition all the way, although a trifle spongy noar Burns. The roturn trip took 10 hours. The stage will leave again Friday.

That over two-thirds of tho cer' titled Netted Gem potato seed grown In Deschutes county has been sold outside the county Is regard ed with alarm by potato growers, who bellovo tbat If this county Is to maintain Its standing as the leading producing Section ot certified seed, farmers here should retain a large share ot the seed raised last year. Acreage planted to potatoes over the country this year will be con siderably less than that of last year, it was learned from Bens Brothers, large-scale growers ot Toppenlsb, Wash., who were shipped two carloads ot tb,e Netted Gem seed the past week. That particu lar section will be 1000 acres short, and all over tho country indications point to a stiprt acreage This should mean a good price for potatoes and growers ot Cen tral Oregon are advised to plant as much land as possible this year and aro urged to use certified seed in doing so. $8 a Ton Difference. "Certified seed is worth $8 more a ton on the outside than other po tatoes, and if so it ought to be worth as much to growers here," Rays County Agriculturist D. I. Jamison. "Unless we plant good seed here we will not long be able to have our seed certified." Indications are that acreage plant ed hero will be heavier than last year, and that more of the farmers will have their crop tested for cer tification by the experts from O. A. C. As a result it is expected that thero will bo no market for any but certified seed next year. 'ft A number of potato diseases have already become common here, as Is shown in the fact that only nine fields were certified last year out ot 37 tested. Among these are wilt, scab and rhlioctonla, ot which wilt Is tho most, serious because thero Is no means of combatting It in the soil. Mr. Jamison advises that fields Infected with wilt should he sown to alfalfa, for It requires soveral years for tho land to be come clear ot this disease. . Room for Burbitnlc, Belief. One-halt ton t certified seed was shipped to British Columbia by Mr. Jamison last Saturday. The price was $2.50 a hundred, the freight mora than doubling tho cost to the buyer. Instead ot six carloads, 25 car loads ot certified seed will be grown In this vicinity this season, is the prediction ot J. A. Melvin, ono ot the leading growers ot last year. Tho only seed so far certified has been Netted Gem, but Mr. Mel vin Is ot the opinion that there is room for tho Burbank, which does well here, and for which thero Is a great demand. Many inquiries are received here for certified Bur banks.
