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.

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. '

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.

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.
