IlKBKUVOllt AND I'HINO IllVEIl When the Ollson Spring rircr wa ter tranchlao was before the council for final action, one councilman said that ho would not favor the measure If It wero to Interfere In any way with tho proposed Benhara Kails reservoir. If he had taken the troublo to In vestlgate the facta ho would have found that there would be consid erable Interference. In fact, tho alt uatlon la such that It water for. the city of Dend Is ever taken from Spring rlrcr the Ec'nfiam Palls reser voir capacity must be greatly reduced or an Impossible engineering feat performed to keep the reservoir wa ters from flooding Spring river. Here Is the situation: The reservoir plan calls for a dam CI feet high. That Is, the water at the dam, when the reservoir Is full, will be Si feet above the present wa ter level at the dam site. 'The coun try back of the dam will be flooded, of course, everything under 4200 feet in elevation being submerged. That figure, 4200, is the contour line of the reservoir and to make this Very dear we have obtained the reproduc tion shown here. This is from sheet 69 of the Deschutes report maps.

DP 1 The heavy black line, to which the two arrows point Is the reservoir flow line. The upper 'arrow points also to the figures phowing the ele vation of that line, 1. 6.', 4200. Now the head of Spring river. Indicated by the lower arrow, is approximately 4165 feet in levotion.- The map shows clearly enough that the head of the river is inside the flow line, and that la the whole story. Let ua add thla much more: The river at the dam site ia 4146 .feet in elevation. When the dam la built and only 19 feet of water stored, out of 4he 61 feet planned. Spring river will be flooded. When TIMIIEIt EXHAUSTION In connection with Forest Prote Hon week, the forest service points out that: "The exhaustion of American tlm ber has not come about becauso tho forests bavo been used so freely, but becauso'ot tho failure to keep down forest tires and to use forest-growln land. In a nutshell, tho problem I that tho United States is cutting wood out of its forest three br four times as faBt as It Is being grown. Much of the land on which timber stands or has been cut off will alwaya be forest land. It Is ample to grow all the wood needed for the uw of the people of thla country and tor export trade in lumber, and products manu factured from lumber, it the land "can be kept at work growing trees, Timber for the future Is simply a matter of puttingjdlo land to work "Every reasonable encouragement should be given to the land owner to grow timber on his own account in tho ways best suited to his own pur poses, but by sotuo means or other the public must seo to It that forest lands not needed for agriculture do not lio Idle. The regulations Ira posed must bo reasonable and eqult able. Obviously, the owner of the land cannot do It all. The public must aid-him In overcoming tho haz ard of forest fires and must recognize that the present methods of taxing forests In many regions are oqulva lent to taxing a farm crop twice a week during the growing season, "To grow timber on the average tract of land, doing it as a public utility, three things must bo done The owner must be given' the benefit of a moderate tax while his crop of timber Is being grown. It must be protected from forest fires, duo to the negligence of his neighbor or the negligence of the, community.. and he must be required to employ suffl clent safeguards in the way his tlm ber Is cut, his slashings disposed of and fire danger avoided to actually reforest the land. "We can do our part by being care ful with fire." WHITE STUFF If the white coating being given the new pavement as it is laid is something that soon will waaji or wear away, or be taken up by tho oils in tho asphalt, there can be no objection to It. We suppose It may be put on for same sort of finish, pos albly to fill cracks that are not smoothed out by the roller, and on that ground. Is not objectionable. If, on the other hand, it will not shortly disappear, being put. on as beautify ing touch, we protest. ' j Hi MBS XLhc (Central regon 3Banft D. E. HUNTER, President CARLETO.V II.

MAHAFFEY, Vice President ss&sasftsj intf Rhymes' Tedious Topics There nrc so many cheerful mutters of which n man may talk and sing, I wonder why a follow chatters about the grim and grisly thing. I wander daily by tho ocean, the wondrous ocean, vast and blue; It fills mo with a high emotion, I want to talk about the view. And there arc always people sit ting on chairs and benches near the shore; old ladies with their endless knitting, old gouts who find this life a bore. And they inhale the salty breezes, and they experience no thrills; they 'talk all day of their diseases, of warts and corns and liver pills. I turn to them at times, and thunder, "Forget your ring-bones for a day I Admire with me this glowing wonder, this sea that rolls from far Cathay. Oh, think of distant isles of coral, of lofty palm and banyan tree! To talk of goitre is immoral when you behold this shining seal" Thoy look at me with grins sarcastic, and talk again of purple pills; they speak of operations drastic they've undergone, for divers ills. I have my share of dread diseases, they all are fatal, more or less; but when J breathe the ocean breezes forgotten is my form's distress. When Ocean, busy as a beaver, chants forth its pean, grand and rich, I cannot think of chills and fever, of gout and mumps and barber's itch. Fifteen Years Ago 1 1 1 "" Wo Protest against tho Idea of let ting one man, because ho tlrnks a thing Is beautiful, jamming it down tho throats, or into tho eyes of a community that has, we believe, en tirely different Idcas. Wo give tho pavement contractor credit for abso lute sincerity In his bcllof that this white coat of whatever It Is adds to tho looks of the pavement. Prob ably he thinks this with all his heart and thinks be Is playing the public benefactor by giving tho city some thing not called for In tho paving specifications. Parenthetically, we may mention a wonder that at the some time ho refusos to permit tho city Inspection at tho paving plant provided for In tho specifications, but that Is nnothor matter. This white stuff Is the present subject, and on that many hold views contrary to his. Wo boast of our many days of sun shine and they are very real. In this high, dry atmosphere the sun Is very bright. On a smooth white surface a glare comes from this sunshine that is most trying to the eyes. If this white glaro Is permitted on our paved streets It will bother motorists it will hurt tho eyes of all, it will even damage business by making it difficult for shoppers to ubo their eyes In examining window displays or goods In the stbres. Anyone who has driven over tho white concrete roads of California knows bow bis eyes have been affected. Why force this on tho people of Bend to humor the whim of one man? t McKENZIE-BENp Every so often someone complains because the highway commission has designated the road running from Sisters to Redmond as the McKenzle highway. The 'law under which the stato highway system was provided for,- they say, had tho'McKenzle high way running In(o Bend, and the com mission has "stolen" It and given it to Itedmond and Prineville. Now it Is qulfe true that the law provided for "a road from Eugeno connecting Willamette valley with eastern Oregon, by way of the Mc Kenzle. river to Bend,' and, although"! the road so designated was not named in the act, It Is quite reason able to expect that the road between theso points, called the McKenzle hJghwajon' the western end, would be called by tho same name on the eastern, It Is settled that tho com mission acted within Its rights in placing the Sisters-Redmond line on the state highway map, however, and, subversive as It may be of the in tention of the' taw, was again within Its rights in giving it .tho name. Mc Kenzle. Tho Bulletin has taken no part in tho criticism of the commission for Its acts In this connection because It believed that there wore moro Impor tant nignwjiy matters io do consid ered and that a continued quarrel without sqmo positive action got no where. Recently tho matter has been under discussion again In connection 1 tlx the Ochnco extension of tho road In question and It now seems to us tlmo for some positive action. For tho highway leading from Bis ters to Redmond, Prineville, and bo- yond, tho name suggested, and pos- Ibly adopted, Is tho McKenzle-Ocho- Wo. Bunget;that the local quar rel ovcr llils name be forgotten and thoijlionamoi benflccep'tedr '-'Thon, for tho lino from Sisters by way of Tumalo to Ilend wo suggest that tho unnio McKenzlo-Ilend bo presented to the highway commission and an of fort made for Its adoption. In Oil way the two branches from the high way that comes by way of IhtvMcKon xlo pass will bo Identified with It, nnd at tho samo tlmo their destination Indicated. Wo think It hardly likely that thn commission will over want to clmngo its present designation of tho Mc Kcnzle. Tho action wo suggest gives Ilend what It Is entitled to nnd glros the Slstcrs-Tumalo road a name that ties It Into tho stato highway system THE BONUS HILL, This week wo havo paid tribute to the memory of tho dead who have served their country In war. Next week, on Tuesday, we have an oppor lunlty to express our gratltudo to the living who participated In the lost war from tho state of Oregon by voting to them tho bonus or aid fund provided by tho last legislature for ratification by the people. Under the law each soldlor, sailor or marine resident In the State would bo entitled to a bonus of $10 for each month of nctlvo service, with a maximum allowance of $500, or ho could receive a Ipan of $4000 on easy terms for aid in establishing a homo To provide tho necessary funds the constitutional debt limit Is raised and provision mado for tho Issuance of state bonds. A two-mill lax Is levied to pay interest and principal on tho bonds. Of thoso who will voto on tho measure there Is hardly one who was ndt In service whose financial condl tlon was not Improved by tho war, Living conditions wero made bolter because of tho war, working condl Hons .Improved. And at tho samo time our men In service were mak ing sacrifice after sacrifice, and do ing It at meager pay. Tho bonus bill Is an attempt to componsato them for thofr sacrifices. Thoy descrvo this recognltlod. Outside this asslstanca to the serv ice men tho measure promises big things for the stato. The loan .tea turo of tho bill means that homes will be established and a big devol opmont program Inaugurated. Prop orty should be added to tho tax rolls that will help to meet tho proposed tax. Men will bo given a start that will react to tho benefit of Oregon. Do you remember hiw you used to sing about "When tho boys como homo?" Wollthoy are hero, havo been hero for somo tlmo In fact.
