EHtlnuuea on PwKlloton Woolen Mill
Frojiertjr Are Doing Secured If
Property Is Purchased Output Will
lie Doubted and 200 People Will Be
Employed- (Pendleton Considered
I lent Town in .North west.
That Pendloton woolen mills are to
be purchased by a large eastern con
cern, their capacity greatly Increased
and their output .varied by the addi
tion of a number of new lines of man
ufacture. Is now quite probable.
An agent forgone of the largest
manufacturing concerns In the United
States, one which manufactures the
largest and most unique line of Indian
goods and which sells largely on etery
Indian reservation In the United
States. Is In the city today looking
over the plant mid -is securing figures
on the property 'from the Judds.
If the mill Is purchased by this
concern. It -will be greatly enlarged
and will be made a subsidiary mill to
one of the largest In the world, a mil!
which has an established reputation
and market, but which cannot supply
its customer at the -present time on
account of limited capacity.
Pendleton beJng in the heart of a
great wool district on through lines of
transportation Is considered to be one
of the best woolen mill ' locations in
the United States and this company Is
making a quiet Investigation of the
outlook for the purt'hase of the prop
erty.
The name of the concern which Is
looking over the ground la withheld
on special request until the Investiga
tion of the property Is made and re
ports sent Into headquarters. How
ever the East Oregonlan 'Is assured
that If the plant Is purchased It will
at once be enlarged to about a 30-loom
mill. Its output will be more than
doubled and a large scouring plant
will be adde making a force of about
200 men and women necessary In the
entire plant. H
According to the agent wno Is now
here, the market for special woolen
lines was never better than at present
and the demand for Indian robes Is
constantly Increasing and It Is con
sidered a most favorable time to en
gage in this business in the northwest.
The home plant of the company -which
is Investigating is in the east, but the
Pendleton plant would be headquar
ters for the entire northwest terri
tory.

Armory and V. of O. ,
Practically no returns have been re
ceived today on any of the Initiative,
referendum or amendment measures
voted upon- yesterday. However, re
turns are at hand for Pendleton and
for a few of, the outside voting places.
Upon the armory bill Pendleton
voted strong in the affirmative, giv
ing 580 Votes upon that side to 255
against. On the U. of O. appropria
tion the voting was practically the'
same, the majority In the city being
but two votes less than that for the
armory bill.
Weston also gave a majority of
nearly 100 for the university, but some
of the other outside precincts show
adverse votes for both the university
and armory measures.

Henry Clews In his last New York
financial letter says of the money sit
uation and general business condit
ions: The stock market has been suffer
ing from over-exertion. Strenuous ef
forts were made to lift prices to the
highest level possible by driving out
the short Interests, and the result was
a pressure to take profits that brought
about a more severe reaction than was
expected.
The late rise was beyond all reason;
for prices had been carried not only
above the pre-panic level but also
above those prevailing last summer;
and in face of a very serious decline
in railroad traffic.
A year ago business was extremely
active and the panic generally unex
pected. Now, we have fallen to a
considerably lower level for all values,
business has shrunk greatly In volume.
and the railroads are threatened with
a reduction of dividends.
General business continues very
quiet. The turn for the better, noticed
two weeks ago, has become slightly
more positive; and the tendency is
certainly towards Improvement; the
Iron trade and the cotton goods Indus
try leading in this respect. There Is
also a much more hopeful feeling pre
vailing elsewhere than at any time
since the panic.
It would be unreasonable, however,
to expect too much; and real recu
peration will no doubt be a matter of
slow growth. Something will depend
upon the political outlook which
steadily Improve," but more upon the
harvest, the outlook for which must
Involve more or less uncertainty.
Both cotton and wheat are likely to
show some depreciation In condition
this month, owing to the excesslvo
rains and low temperature. But the
majority of the crops have had a good
start this year and the outlook Is en
couraglng, for experience shows that
we always have one or two, if not
three months, of deterioration after a
favorable spring.
The railroad situation seems to have
reached Its worst. The number of Idle
cars has begun to diminish, and traf
fic in June ought to show signs of re
cuperation. Earnings for April and
May were very discouraging, showing
a loss of 16 to 20 per cent. In the
west a hopeful feeling Is prevalent, de
presslon continuing .keenest In the
eastern Industrial and financial cen
ters.
The market would undoubtedly be
Improved by an additional decline.
Fresh buying would follow, and ac
tivity would be restored. The general
financial situation Is sound, and after
the liquidation of the past six months
no serious reaction should be antici
pated. A good trading market Is
therefore possible.
