A FIRM FOUNDATION
Foundations. laid on sand, don't
last. 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

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.

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.

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.
