A. Freeman, cash ier of the Lumbermens National .bank, speaking' on !Tha Application ' of Mod ern Commercial Methods to the Thresh ermen' s Business." ' v -r.,- " ' Threshermen' of this state hara an eatlmated total Investment In thresh ing equipment aggregating mora than thraa and ons-half million dollars, baa' Ing tha aatlmata on HO known outfits at an average of $1000. These are very respectable figures,-wall understood by manufacturers of threehlng machinery, but 2 am Inclined to believe they are not appreciated by tha threahermen themselves. The Oregon threshermen have at command tha meaaa for raek Ing their Industry highly substantial and mueh mors profitable through this association by eloaa cooperation and tha adoption of modern commercial meth oda. . .,'-.., In tha first plaoa every thresher man should open a set of books, keep ing strict account of tha cost of equip ment, repairs, operating, labor, inter est charges. Insurance, depreciation, otov These figures serve a two fold pur pose; to enable him to -regulate hia prices for profit and to borrow on oc casion at his bank. formerly tha farmer's wife furnlahed and cooked tha food for tha thrashing rVw; the farmer and his hired man helped stack tha straw, furnished all tha grain for the horses with tha oV flt, and lent asalataaea generally. New, many of the threahermen carry a eook wagon with a oook and a helper, fur- Blah tha provisions and tha utensils to prepare them, stack fha straw, and pay tha market price' for anything their outfits consume. "Conditions that sxlst In other lines of Industry In ths west calling for more detail, mora energy, more modern meth ods, obtsln In the business of the threshermen, and to produce tha best results It should be put upon a flrni commercial basis." .Vest of Oood Koada. Tha great general need of good roads and stronger bridges waa dwelt upon by Q. A. Scare, who aald In part: I believe we ara all Interested In the subject of good roads for ths state of Oregon, but before wo can have satis factory roads, ws must have the neoes sary bridges, - of sufficient capacity to haul tha vartoua materials; and It haa been my good fortune to go over thla state very thoroughly la connection with our line of business, and I find fthat one of the great detrlmenta to the hauling of loads, aod to tha using of traction engines and road rollers for ths various businesses with which they are connected, has been the poor , bridges on tha. various highways In. tha differ ent counties. , " Only last week It came te my nottoe that a large traction angina waa obliged to make m detour of over nine mllee to get to Its desired point solely because a bridge Of less than JtO feet in length was so unsafe that It would not carry a load of flva tone; also a notice from a local paper In Hood River of a road roller golag. through a bridge over In dian Creak. . ,, - '' TTha 'great problem la Oregon up to date haa been to get tha county courts to .raise. serf Ulent funds each year to take care of tha aeoeesary needs for road construction.' , - . ... i "I believe tha only salvation of the state of Oregon today, for permanent roads, will be the bonding systems and ths aooner tha people awake to thla faot tha sooner wa wlU have easy modes of travel .
