Improvomunt In local affairs and es
pecially lumbering, In tho produi.tor
of A. It. Rogers, the Minneapolis tlm
bormaa who was horo several days
last week.
Mr. Honors Is the head of tho
Rogers Lumbar Company, ono of tho
largest lumbor-yard owning compan
ion In tho country, whtse holdings ad
jacent to Ilond ombraco tome 37.000
acres, nil of which, ho hni stated, will
b milled hero when market condi
tions warrant. During his nta, ovor
Thursday nnd Frldsy, Mr. Rogors
npent much of his tlmo with his lo
cal Jraprosentntlvo, Paul Harrison
atid wlUi John Ryan nnd J. II. Manor.
In tho first place, Mr. Rogers con
gratulated Ilond upon tho progress It
has mado slnca his last visit, stating
that while conditions horo now might
appear not over prosperous, In com
parison with thoio of other commun
ities thoy wore excellent.
" Ilond In lucky," said ho "Tho
town Is doing well, and hns n groat
futuro. It Is through no fault of lo
cal conditions that big growth linn not
conic to you. Tho backing Is hero,
and nil that has retarded develop
ment Is an unfortunate slump In na
tional business, especially In tho lum
ber lino. It will all come out well
In tho end, nnd bo all tho mora sub
stantial for tho waiting."
When queitloncd, Mr. Rogers waa
frank to ssy that no far as his own
Interests ware concerned, Immediate
milling could not bo considered.
However, he stated that he expected
an Improvement In the lumber mar
ket from now on, and nddod tbnt pine
lumbor such as Is produced hero was
rapidly gaining In demand and prlco,
at tho expense of fir and other lum
bers. I'ntors Itntc Increase,
Like many other men well vcrscd
In national buslnois .affairs, Mr. Rog
ers is of tho opinion that tho rail
roads aro fully entitled to tho five
per cent increase In freight rates
which they seek, and ho believes tho
incroaso will bo grantod by tho In
terstate Commerce Commission.
"That will Improve general con
ditions a very great deal," ho said.
"It will especially benefit tho lumber
huklnos. for tho railroads buy more
lumber than any one source wlillo of
course tho general loosening or mon
ey by tho roads should the Increase
bo granted, will prove an Impetus to
ull Industries. For more than a year
the railroads have oeen economising
on every hand nnd the country has
suffered appreciably from this cause.''
Mr. Rogers, who says he is n Re
publican, but nvown ulmsolf n sup
porter of Woodrow WlWoti. says Hint
it Is absurd to blame tho presont de
pression upon tho Democratic admin
istration. Tho tariff rovlston,, ho bo
I loves, has had llttlo damaging ef

TJiubcrmnn Says Wilson Administra
tion Work Um Improved Condi?
Hon ant That Hotter Times nre
Coming Mueller Optimistic.
That better business lies ahead,
and that the Democratic admlnUtra-"
tlon Is not responsible for the let-up
In prosperity. Is the opinion of W.
J. Reunion, tho noted tlrabermsn here
yesterday.
"It ts ridiculous to say that the
Wilson administration Is to blamo for
tho business depression of tho past
few months," said Mr. Scanlon. "An n,
matter of fact I firmly belle vo that
If It had not been for the new hank
ing laws put through by tho Demo
crats the country today would bo In
tho midst of the worst panic In Its
history. And Instead of that money
lo easier and more plenlful thanjlt
has been In years. Since the curren
cy act passed, the eastern banks hare
been willing to loan money In great
quantlt'es nnd at very low Interest
rates. Before that everything was
tight"
Mr. Scanlon, like his assolates, be
lieves that low water has been reach
ed, and that thero will bo great Im
provement from now on. Tho crops,
he says, are remarkably fine all ore.
Should tho advance In freight rates
ho granted the railroads, as Is ex
pected, that too. will greatly liven
all business activity.
"And, remember," continued Mr.
Scanlon. "That the United States Is
far better off than sny of Its Import
ant neighbors. The situation is
sound. I believe that rery soon ev
erything will he most prosperous:
Compared with Canada-r-and else
where where the Democra'tls can't t
blamed! -we are wonderfully well
off."
Mr. Scanlon spoke enthusiastical
ly of the substantial timber resources
of Bend, saying that In no wise could
the town escape a nig growth through
their manufacturing development.
Mueller Likes item!.
Will Mueller, of the Mueller Land
& Timber Co., of Davenport, Iowa,
remained horo only over Monday, the
time of tho formal annual meeting.
"Every time I come back Bend
looks better." Mr. Mueller said. "The
development Is most commendable,
and the town makes a mighty good
Impression upon a visitor."
When asked tho stock annual ques
tion: "When will you build your
mill" ho side etoppe- Kracofully.
"Some day," laughed the lumber
man. "Just now we are not Jn a po
sition to go ahead with It. and 'condi
tions relative to our business do aot
Justify the move. But the lumber
will be milled hero. It wouldn't be
fajr to hold out sny false hopes, so
this time plesse quote me simply as
raying that for tho present nothing
has been decided upon. Then Mr.
Mueller added: "And don't got Wor
ried. Bend's best years are Jpet
ahead of It, nnd everything points In
good times soon,"
