JOINT INSTALLATION CEREMONY
Over One Hundred Members of Subordinate Lodge and Rcbcknhs

Program Ends With Banquet and True Fraternal Spirit.
Over'one hundred Odd Fellows
and Rebcknhs gathered at the
new Odd Fellow hall on last Sat
urday evening to participate in
the joint installation of the offi
cers of the two organizations
and to give the new lodge room
a good "warming up." It was
a most enthusiastic gathering
and all entered into the spirit of
the occasion with true fraternal
feeling.

strong lodge in membership, but
it had never owned its own hall
up to the past year. At times
whenthero was a largo surplus

would be something that would
interfere with building. How
ever, a few years ago tne lotige

WILL RUN A LINU TOWARD RURNS.
It is the plan of tho men be
hind the Oregon Trunk Lino to
build a railroad connecting with
their road in tho vicinity of Bend
and running in a southeasterly
direction towards Burns, nnd
out through the Mnlheur river
canyon to connect with some
trims-continental lino in the
eastern part of the state? This
question is fermenting in tho
minds of Bend people at present,
becauso of tho fact that an
Oregon Trunk crew of surveyors just past, paying all expenses
under J. L. Staccr, arrived in 'nnd premiums. The old board of
Bend the latter part of the week
and judging from their move
ments, this crew is to survey n
line southeastward from Bend to
ward Burns. Tho engineer in
charge of course will sav no
thing, but tho common opinion
is that this is the work the
Stacer crew has cut out for it
They aro now camped on tho J.
F. Pierce place (formerly tho
Philip Francis homestead), says

During the fnll and early win

suitable route out of the state to

A Washington dispatch of last
for this year, Saturday says: Gilford Pinchot,
first week in Chief Forester and intimate
friend of Theodore Roosevelt,
was dismissed tonight from tho(
sep'ice of tho united States by
President Ta ft for insubordina
tion. Associate Forester Over
tot W-i Priee-nnd Annitttiit- Law.
Oificer Alexander C. Shaw,
Pinchot's immediate assistants
in the Forestry Bureau, followed
their chief out of Government
employ.
Thoroughly indignant over the
action of Mr. Pinchot in inducing
Senntor Dollivcr to rend a letter
from him in the Senate yester
day, President Taft today would
listen to no advice that the for
ester's violntion of Executive
orders be overlooked pending the
inquiry soon to be undertaken by
Congress.
He declared the dignity of the
Presidential office was being at
tacked and he would bo unfaith
ful to his trust if he submitted
longer.
Mr. Taft undoubtedly realizes
fully what tho dismissal of For
ester Pinchot means in n political
way. Ho has been convinced
for some time that tho so-called
"Insurgents" and other critics
of his Administration had enlist
ed tho services of Mr. Pinchot
and practically were defying
him to dismiss Pinchot from
office. The hitter's letter of yes
terday, few hero doubt, was
written with tho direct purpose
of "putting it squarely up to the
President"
The President sought to avoid
the threatened war as long as ho
could, but declared today that
patience had ceased to bo a vir
tue. Ho picked up the gaugo
of battlo thrown down by Mr.
Pinchot through the hand of
Mr. GifTord Pinchot poses be
fore the country as the coryphcus
of all who desire to preserve the
natural resources of the country
for the good of all tho people.
His ambition has been to bring it
about, so that tho combat would
rage around himself and contri
bute to his glory. He stands for
"conservation" of the public in
terestsfor the public. No man i
is to hnvc use of lands or waters
or minerals henceforth, without
payment of perpetual tax to the
United States the money payed
in to go to the support of a great
bureau in Washington and its
horde of officials all over the
United States- yet not indeed all
over the United States, but over
those parts where there are still
, fuuiii; luuua aim wini'ia iiiiu iiiiii
orals. In the old parts these
were appropriated long ago, and
are to bo left in undisturbed pos
session of those who occupied
them, nnd who have developed
them. This sort of thing has
mado Mr. Gilford Pinchot very
rich. He rests on the wealth of
his ancestors, and has become a
"reformer." He is a whale as
BurkQ.said. spouting in the qcenn
of bounty, and from his spiracle
ho blows out a torrent of brine
against his origin.
What Mr. Pinchot should do is
to turn back to society all that
his ancestors accumulated from
it, and nil ho has inherited from
it He should sell nil he has and
give it to the poor.
The attack on Ballinger inspir
ed by him, is based on the assump
tion and on complnint that arises
from it, that Ballinger has con
strued tho laws as they are and
required them to be observed;
while Pinchot substituted his own
theories of conservation, unsup
ported by law and contrary to
tho wholo practice and policy of
tho country hitherto, since the
occupation and settlement of the
country begnn. For ages the
lands and waters and woods of
the Western country have been
unused. In the Eastern parts of
tho continent they were appropri
ated and put to use long ago.
Wo want our country developed;
we desire the conversion of its
nntuial resources to some use
rather than let them run wild, as
heretofore; wo wish tho Govern
ment to part with tho lands and
allow them to be utilized, an I
properties to bo built up around
