at too rtcalur club meeting thli
noon. Ths voto vu taken by ballot,
and the final count showed that many
had taken a 'Hand neither for nor
against, the total number In at
tendance waa conalderably In excess
of the 29 ballots counted.
There waa no discussion of the
question beyond a statement from J.
P. Kuyes, general nianagor of the
llrooks-Acanlon Lumbar Co., In which
ha outlined tho reasons for which
tho Bead mills oppose the Slrahorn

clusion of his addreu, however, Carl
, A. Johnson, of the latter company,
was asked to speak, and declared
that everything; had already been
said.
Hate QuraUon Key.
' That the opposition of tho mills Is
rhlt'fly the outcome of the railroad
rate question was Mr. Keyes' declar
ation. "The Bend mills have borne
the brunt of an attack by tho rail
road administration for weeks." he
Bald, "but hnvo finally been allowed
to remain In the Spnkuno group, re
taining rnli-s somewhat lowur than
thorni In effort on tho const. Connec
tion!! with Klamath Kails would un
doubtedly mean nKltnllon from mill
operators In that section for a cut
to meet our rates, but you know
that under tint present railway ad
ministration, rates never go down.
At best it would create a ralo dis
til r tin nee for tho llend mills.
"Tho Interests of the mills und tho
employes are In a. nenno imleiitlcnl.
and with a lesser murgln of profit
tho amount uviillahlo for . wattes

Too Rapid Expansion llerrieil.
4 Mr. Keyes argued that If tho club
places Itself on record ns favoring
tho Strnhorn lino, It might very well
ho expected to bark a $100,000 bond
issue such ns was asked two yours
ago by Mr. Hlrnliorn. Ho omphnslzod
Hint tho construction of tho rond
would lay open nfuch now timber
nml declared Hint tho opening of new
mills fnrthnr.down the line would he
n detriment rnllier than a benefit to
Bund.
v "This may soom strnngo at first
thought," ho ndmlttod, "but there
Is such n tiling as having too ninny
mills. Possibly you do not know it,
hut tho Hand plants hnvo an almost
unique position In tho United Stntns,
of running 12 months a year. Tills

If, on tho other hand, the output Is

LLOYD-GEORGE
THINKS PEACE
NEAR AT HAND
AMERICA AND EUROPE
IN HARMONY.
PRAISES PRESIDENT
Declares Bolshevism Is on tho Wane,
and Favors Policy of Letting
Russia Alone WIlMin to Stay
Till Treaty Is Signed.
(Br United Proa to Th Bend Bulletin.)
LONDON, April 16. There Is a
complete understanding on the fund
amental questions of the peace set
tlement. Premier Lloyd George de
clared this afternoon In the course
of an address to parliament. 'He
said the report that America and
Europe was at variance was untrue.
Pointing out the difficulties In the
path of effecting peace the premier
said that a complete national disin
tegration Is threatened in Austria,
Turkey and Russia. "In Russia,
there la no authority," he said. "Tha
question ot the recognition ot the
Soviet government has never been
proposed but we do not despair ot
the Russian situation." .
"Although the Bolshevikl forces
are growing, Bolshevism itself is oa
the wane. We are supplying tha
countries bordering on Russia with
the means ot resisting the invasion
of Bolshevism."
The premier said that the allies
had unanimously agreed not to pub
lish the peace terms until they have
been thoroughly discussed.
Referring to President Wilson, the
premier said: "None could have
treated peculiar problems, with their
special European susceptibilities,
better than has Wilson."
Favors Non-intervention.
"International conditions in Rus
sia do not Justify a (gigantic military
enterprise," Lloyd-George- said. ' "I
would rather leave . Russia to the
Bolshevikl until I see a way out,
than to have Great Britain bank
rupted. It is my earnest conviction
that Intervention was tho greatest
act of stupidity."
He said that Russia would be dif
ficult to conquer, and would, require
huge armies for the task.
WILSON TO STAY TO END.
PARIS, April 16. President Wil
son will remain in Paris until the
peade treaty has been entirely dis
posed ot it was stated authoratively
today. The statement was in answer
to the claims of French newspapers
that he would depart on April 26.
Friends ot tho President reiterated
the declaration made in his New York
speech that he would remain "until
It Is all over."
They believe that It will be pos
sible to clean up the other treaties
along with the German treaty. It
this cannot be done the president
will see the German treaty through,
to its actual signing. He will then
leave Col. House to attend Jo- the
others.
