The builder who founds, his edifice insecurely meets ultimate dis aster. 8o. too, with communities. Those whose growth and prosperity are not well, founded may perhaps blossom forth in a brief boom, but sooner or later they encounter trouble. It isn't the appearance of a town which counts; it is the foundation behind it. Showy buildings, haud-j some streets, elaborate publications. or brisk markets for the sale of lots matter little in the long run. Whether or not the town can last and make good depends entirely upon the fun damental resources behind it. Bend '8 foundations are not laid in sand. She is wonderfully fortunate In the strength which underlies her economic fabric. Not only it is deep. but broad, as well Down at the bottom of all is the rery vastness of the princely empire In whose center Bend is set. Geo graphically she stands comfortably remote from established cities, far from hurtful competition, with ample room for growth and compelling need for it In the very demand of Central Oregon for the creation of a local metropolis. Then there is wool and waterpow er, grain and grass, beef and pork, altitude and sunshine, dairy products and those of the irrigated and dry farm fields. - But, most of all, is pine. Much of Bend's foundation is built upon the product of her forests, and an extra ordinarily firm foundation it is. Pine is today the aristocrat of western woods. It commands bigger markets, and better markets, than any competitive product. It bears CtUUUl lUC BAUIC iciauuu lu aii as Dim, morcial leaders have assured Mr. Strahorn that they are tremendously Interested in his project. Thoy want to help all they can. They ronllto how vastly important it Is to Port land, and that its completion will mean more money lu the pocket of every Portland business man. Also, there is appointed, wo believe, u committee to cooperuto with Mr. Strahorn In securing fumls when he is ready. That is splendid. That is the right spirit. And just for the fun of it, here is hoping that the committee and the willing financiers will glitnco at the record of the four Central Oregon towns, with their population of some 14.000 and their contribution of J4S5.000." Let's see: Portland has a popu latton of perhaps 250,00. Say four teen will go into 250 how many times? But what's the use? Of course, that's on cxtravugant no tion, and the conclusion isn't logical and the -suggested outcome is impossible. But it isn't absurd to conceive of sleek old Portland stretching her self sleepily, thrusting her fat fin gers into her rotund money bags aud producing say a million, just be cause the folks who do tbo produc ing must know if they know any thing about their state east of the mountains that they will get it back, and more. Here's hoping. The Central Oro gon communities have set an ex ample of the kind that counts. HOLD MEETING HERE. Central Oregon is getting togeth er on a program for its delegates to the coming Irrigation Congress. That Is proper. Those who go to represent this section should have well defined plans worked out in ad vance. It is a sort of preparedness which pays. And this. Oregon's largest irrigated territory, is entitled to an important voice in the pro ceedings probably fur more so than has ever been the case in tho past, when sometimes, it will be remem bered, it has looked as if things were pretty well "framed up" by the Port land professional fixers. But after all, perhaps there wont be any very tangible platforms for Central Oregonians to stand upon. We are just about where we have been before. We want state aid, but chances are worse than slim for ob taining any, under existing state con ditions. We want more attention and consideration the sort which will make it easier to get financial backing tor irrigation enterprises. We want folks west of the moun tains to realize that two-thirds of Oregon Is dry by nature as well as law. And right there is where our Cen tral Oregon delegates have a chance to get busy. Why not have an Ir rigation Congress in an irrigated country? Must the congress be held In Port land forever? Wont It be better for the congress, for the state and es- way? When ho rati save money by paying a higher llcenso fee, why I shouldn't he favor tho InereitBe? It lilt) inereaso In nuto llcenso foesi 1h only n small one, It will be noces-1 sary for tho state to bond Itself to get the good roads wo, need. We can save bonding by having a high license fee for our autos, ami get a magnifi cent system of roatls for dear old Oregon while wo are yet nllvo to use them. i . HOW TO WIN A lU'SllAXH. tBy United I'rwa to The Dally ItulMlnl a OAKLAND, Cnl Dec. 7. How to win a husband Is told in Kev. J tin 11. Pierce's "ten commandments," for girls seek- ing tho royal road to ntatri- mony today. Kev. Pierce has married 4000 couples in SO years. Here uro bis commandments: First Plon your campaign with tho wisdom of the ser- pent, conceal it with the silence of tho clam, execute It with tho strategy of Marhlavelll. Second Avoid all witticism about marriage. Third Veil with alluring helplessness the Iron of self- sufficiency. Fourth When a man de- clares "I shnll never marry!" mark him for easy prey. Fifth Be Inwardly bold as a lion, outwardly timid as a tuwn. Sixth Tho loudest flattery Is the silence of attention. When he speaks, listen. It is Incense to his pride. ' Seventh Shun the rouge pot and the powder puff, for many ' a maid has lost out by sailing under false colors. Eighth Pick out n chemical afllnlty. Remember, oil won't mix with water, but It will with myrrh. Ninth Copy the cat. for It Is squeezable, and the dove, for it coos curcKslngly, and the whlppoorwlll, for it seems elus ive. Tenth Remember, the su ' preme test of a man is n kiss. - If he will not yield under It, - scorn him, for he is either a - brute or-Idiot. my-au This Space Reserved for The R. M.

Because pine grows j peciaily for the irrigated country, very slowly, its texture is close-knit if Mohammed goes to the mountain and sound and firm; fir grows fast, once instead of always taking the and therefore is coarse, making it i mountain to him? GOAT KAISERS AMI GOAT GKTTEKS IN CHICAGO. I Br United Preoa to The Daily Bulletinl CHICAGO. Dec. 7. This is goat day here and references to tin cans, or other shoddy wit that involves the dignity of the whiskered Hilly and his nannies are In bad form. Tho Ameri- can Milch Goat association is meeting. Goat raisers are here from many states. Goat getters we have alwayi. with us. unfitted for the high grade uses for which local pine is employed. Then, too, pine weighs far less than fir, and so it costs less to ship it, a tre mendous advantage local manufac turers enjoy over many of their west ern competitors. In addition to all this, the pine of the Deschutes valley can be handled far more cheaply than that of any other region, meaning that mills here can operate advantageously even when close-priced markets make mill ing elsewhere unprofitable. And, lastly, because pine has so many uses, for boxes, sash and doors and the like, every complete manufacture of the tree is assured here for all time to come, involving a maximum local payroll, far greater to the million feet stumpage, for instance, than oc curs with any other kind of lumber made up in the west. So, well may we feel that Bend's foundation much of it of pine! is a firm one, and thankful we are that enough pine timber stands avail able to the town, to keep its present great mills, and perhaps more to come, busy for a century. And there after, we opine, our children and their children, will enjoy the metro politan advantages of a city prosper ously supported by the other re sources which in our own time will have come into their own as pro ducers of payrolls. i 1 THE KIND THAT COUNTS. When Robert E. Strahorn finished the surveys for bis Central Oregon railroads, he explained that In build ing railways, as In other things, co operation begins at home. It was to be "our road" and not "his road," so far ns circumstances permitted Central Oregonians to make It so. Below Is the written record of what has been accomplished: Burns voted a 125,000 bond Is- Bue for railroad construction, on AUEUHL 1. i!)lu. L11C VIII n DPttll? 14h itir aim zu against. Bend voted $36,00 bond issue for the purpose of acquiring railway terminals, August 15. 191G, the vote being 18(! for and 24 against. Lnkeview voted $20,00 bond issue for tho purposo of acquiring right of way and terminals. The election was held November 14,-1910, the vote being 249 for and 9 ngnhist. Kliitnaili Falls voted $1)00,000 bond issue for railroad construction, on November 14, 191B, the vote be ing 1222 for and 104 against. Well, Portland bankers and com-j In short, let Central Oregon have the conference. Make Bend the next meeting plaje. We have the facili ties. We can show folks what Irri gation is and what it isn't. And aside from irrigation, through the congress we would get a first class opportun ity to impress a considerable number of worth-while people with just what Central Oregon is and what It needs. THE BUDGET In setting the city tax levy for the coming year at 18 mills, the council has acted according to its best idea as to what is the proper treatment bf Bend's financial situation. The city is growing fast and has innum erable needs. If an attempt Is made to meet them all in one year, we, of today, will be taking the whole bur den of the growth trom the years to come. It seems fair to distribute the expense in the way contemplated. On the other hand, too much must not be put off for the future to care for. Running expenses of the next year properly should not be made Into debt for the future tojiay. The proper treatment is to consid er carefully what the city revenue Is to be and then to see to it that the expense does not exceed this amount. In other words, In setting the budget at 18 mills, the council cuts the cloth for next year's municipal garment. Now, the size of the cloth should be remembered, and careful effort made to see that the garment that is made, though it be thin In spots and scant in others, cover our growth for the year. DOLLAR A HORSE-POWER (Oregon Voter.) About $1,000,000 tan be raised by Oregon for the Improvement of Kb permanent state highways by Increas ing the nuto license fees to a dollar a horse-power. The little machines would pay $12 to $20 a year, the price of a Urn; the larger cars from $25 to $75. Every machine would save the amount of the Increased fee every time it made a trip over any long stretch o( rough road made smooth with the license fen money. Can any nuto owner save tire ex pense nnd repair expense any better Hum by liuviiig rough roatls made smooth? Isn't the rough road the nniln cause of the high cost of auto running? Isn't the paved mud the best expense-saver to the auto own er? And Isn't the auto owner the uiuln beneficiary of the paved hlgli- SOflKTV MAV UK SLK.V I'OK II VK DOLLAKS, TODAY.
