NO CAUSE FOR ALARM.
Levi Ankeny Don't Agree With Jim
Hill, in the Belief That a Panic Is
Near.
Hon. Levi Ankeny, president of the
Pendleton and Baker City National
banks, paid a business visit to East
ern Oregon this week, and while in
uaker City made some pertinent .re
marks on politics and business.
He takes a different view oi gen
eral business conditions from that
held by J. J. Hill.
"As to the race for United States
senatorship in the State of Washing
ton," said Mr. Ankeny. "I feel con
fident that I have a gord show to be
elected by the state legislature, which
convenes at Olympla January 12.
Ballot for the senatorsblp will be
taken on the 20th. Of course, I only
see one side of the matter, but my
friends tell me they believe my suc
cess is assured. Strong men are op
posing me for the election, but I
think my friends are stronger than
they are.
"Concerning present finances, I be
lieve too much speculation has been
going on In Wall street and elsowhore
and that values are liable to get too
high and that perhaps some damage
has already been done through over
capitalization of trust Interests. I
am firmly of the onlnion that Pres
ident Roosevelt. In his wisdom al-!t
ready exhibited, will he able to avert f
.uiyiuing iiko a nnancial panic.
"Wall street Is not the wholf. fhin
although stocks and bonds are u large
element In the market.
"General business througuout the
country, and particularly In the North
west Is today better than It has been
in many years. The people as a rule
have money, they have made money
from crops and wages, and I can see
uoming in the immediate future to
create a scare."
