way DWciixned At Length.
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

Ik-Hove Best Heed Needed
to Keep Up Btondnrd.
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. LETTING CONTRACTS
WILL BE ON FRIDAY
Mombers of the Deschutes county
court met In special session Monday
afternoon, it having been Intended
to, let contracts for tho culverts on
