YET PROGRESSIVE Almost iimnediatsly after the gen eral election the cry went out "Hard Time Coming." Thi has frequently been the complaint when election have not resulted as the majoritj party might deiire, but in thi case the hum of industry ha thu far droAncd the cry, and the voice of des pair i no longer heard in this part of Oregon. While there may be an ap parent lull in the money market, con dition areas favorable as in former venra and wo can see no reason w hy conditions should be changed under the uresent management at ash ington. Hanks are show ing good re turns, factories are in operation and the whole country is just now a luy mirtion of the world. Let u hope that confidence may be maintained an.l that tlia oettv political dirTereii ce will not retard the the success of this great commonwealth.
