. DISQUE'S RECOMMENDATION
I'ress dispatches Indicate that Ex
' nmlncr Dlsquc, of tho Interstate com-
'. mercc commission, has recommended
'..'that the applications of carriers for
lower rates from eastern points to
, the coast than to tho Intermediate
"points bo not nllowcd.
K-a Concerning this recommendation,
'$Fubllc Servlco Commissioner H. H.
"Coroy says:
"All Interior points may well re-
known ns tho Pacific Northwest
Tourist association, with a salaried
secretary whoso business It Is to push
publicity for tho Joint benefit. Ad
vcrtlscmcnts are Inserted In Eastarn
mngatincs. nud nowspapcrs, and tho
wholo cnorglc.1 of tho organization
nro devoted to putting tho udvnnt
ages and attractions of tho North
west on tho tourist map. That these
activities havo borno fruit Is appar
ent In tho yearly figures of tourist
business.
"Tho people of tho state should
respond generously to tho appoal
for support. It Is to tho advantage
of every proporty owner, overy busi
ness man and every salaried man
whoso employment Is consequent up
on the status of trndo and Industry.
Tourists help to swell tho tldo of
general business, and tho money they
bring with them Is Imported capital
that would never reach tho state and
swell our medium of exchange otherwise."
HOW IT IS SPENT
Every resident of tho I'nlted
States will contribute $1.20 this year
for tho building of good roads by
the national government and It must
bo remembered that for every dollar
Moleo nt this victory. Tho nrocres-
slon of the theory of regulation of
-railroad and public utility rates by
3pftho regulatory bodies has been mado

before the interstate commerco com-Is regarded ns none too high. Good
mission repeatedly since tho hlstorl-' roads mean the extension and the
cal Spokane rato caso more than a
quarter of a century ago.
"It Is realized by all that prefer
ential rates have been the most es
sential element In determining the
growth of cities and Influencing man
ufacturing activity throughout tho
United States.
. "Coast terminal points have re
peatedly joined with the carriers In
adopting a policy that would be a
Tltal Influence In the growth and pre
eminence of favored localities to the
detriment of tho growth and devel
opment of Interior points. All the
natural factors favoring manufactur
ing and jobbing are to be found In
the interior. Raw material from the
farm and from the mines arc easily
available. Power and fuel are at
hand, and living Is cheaper because
of the prevalence of farms; and man
ufacturing will now permit the rapid
Increase in population In the Inter
lor and cauBe further development of
our farm lands.

this business forever centered In the COst of tho navy being $ 1.11 and the
development of business particularly
fo rthe farmer, who, after all. Is
the most Important factor In Ameri
can ltfo. Financially, good roads
cost the people n great deal more
than their president costs. The ov
penso of tho president, embracing his
salary and expenses, costs each re
sident two and one-halt mills per
year, so the head of the nation Is not
an expensive luxury over Hint Is,
directly. The figures show that for
tho whole national expenditures the
people must contribute each $33.39
for tho year.
This Is the first time tho people
have really been able to get the fig
ures for national expenditures down
from the clouds and consider them
in terms of the home. For example,
we are told the national debt has
been reduced $1,500,000,000, and
that it now stands about $23,000,
000,000. Bewildering figures of this
kind are hard to understand. The
only real way for pcoplo to ' get
an intelligent grasp on the nation's
business affairs Is to get the figures
comfort lu tho thought that tho spe
cial work manual training, domes
tic sclonco, niul music oven if
dropped, will not lenvo tho students
totally unlnstructed in thoso sub
jects. Thoso who will rocelvo their
diplomas next year will hnva had

year ot 1923-2-1, It may bo possible
tor theso subjects to bn reintroduced
providing ot coursn that tho nocos
sary funds nro by that tlmo placed
at tho dlsposnl of tho board. In that
case, tho Incoming class ot 1922-23,
will havo tho opportunity ot taking
three years ot such departmental
work.
In tho Inst analysis, It's up to the
voters ot tho district. Endorsement
ot an ndequnto budget will moan tho
financing of an adequate, school sys
tem. To fail to do so will menu that
only tho sdcnlled essentials will be
taught, and that othor Instruction ot
great Importance In a well rounded
secondary education must bo left off
tho curriculum.

man to till tho vacancy left by City
Superintendent Mooro's resignation

on tho school directors, will prove
an able successor to the retiring of

The cost of congress is only 17

regard It as expensive even so.

(From the columns ot The Bulletin

A telegram the first of tho week
brought to Bend news of the death
ot J. O. Johnston, well known In
Crook county for his connection with
the Peschutos " Irrigation Power
Co.
It Is reported In Bend that Sis
ters will soon be supplied with ade
quate protection from fire. It Is
said that work will soon be com
menced on a dcop well and that a
large tank will be built some 50 or
60 feet from tho ground. Water
mains will be laid, and hydrants put
in at proper stations throughout tho
town.
Tuesday a deer wandered into
Bend and went deliberately strolling
around the streets looking for trou
blc, but according to nil reports fall
ing to find It. It presented a soro
temptation to the hunters who saw
It, but they were true to their bet
ter instincts and did not take down
their rifles.
It Is probablo that an attempt will
bo mado to Inoculate the cage ruts
on Agency plains with a contagious
disease that will kill them and thus
rid that section of the pests.
According to reports that reach
Bond this week, the contract has
been let for carrying mall from
Shunlko to Bend.

demand the very highest grades of both materials and workman
ship this season and at the very lowest prices. So we bought

Among the Incident!) which tin told
us bearing on tho cano which wuro
not given In court, wuro his relations
with tho Wilson family previous to
his urreHt. After he had leasod his
ranch to W. T. E. Wilsnn In 1918,
and found out tho year following
that Wilson wan feeding his hay, his
tenant told him that nn effort was
being mado to prove that ho, Weston,
hnd killed a steer belonging to W.
P. Fryreur. Wilson offered to stop
tho Investigation If Weston would
roleaHo him from paying back the
hay usod, said tho prisoner,
Later,, ha related, ho received an
anonymous printed note, tho lettering
of 'which was r'o'cog'nlzcd is thut of
Mrs, Wilson, threatening him with
exposuro It ho did not pay for thu
steer within 60 days. Weston said
bo hnd no knowledge of the Incident
referred to by cither Wilson or nls
wife, and pointed to tho interview
with Wilson, nud tho note, ns indi
cating that onmlty against him had
prompted tho filing of Information
resulting In his arrest.
Twenty ILillots Tnkti
Twenty formal ballots were taken
by the jury before the verdict uf
guilty waB reached, It was learned
yesterday. In addition to this,
numerous oral votes wcro taken.
There was no wavering, first toward
ono Hide and thou toward another,
but a steady progression toward tho
ultimata unanimous decision of tho
Jury.
Foreman J. C. Ithodcs presided lu
night uttiro over thu session of thu
Jury nt which tho final vote was

his vote for conviction.
Xn "Jloldlnj? Out"
Throughout thu seventy-eight
hours during which the Jury was
held Incommunicado, there was never
any "holding out" on tho part of
any of tho Jurors, or any "riding"
of thoso who had yet to mako up
their minds, declared Khodcs.
Tho question Involved so muny an
glos, so much testimony had to bo
sifted out, clusslfled nn'to credibility,
and pieced togothar pro and con,
that u session which constitutes a
record for length of deliberations was
an actual necessity, ho said.
"I feared for a tlmo tnat tho Jury
would not bo able to agree, but never
had tho slightest fear that thorn
would bo an ncqulttnl," said W. P.
Myers, special prosecutor, today. "It
Is the most reinnrkublo und compli
