Portland Interviews.
Prominent Portland bankers nnd

Quotations from these follow:
L. C. Oilman, president of tho
North Hank and allied lines, said:
"It Is ono of tho things wa'havo
locked forward to nnd hope now to
reallxo a bettor market for our
etanlo'-coinmodHy lumber .-
!'. C. Knnpp of tho Ponlnaular
Lumber Company, expressed tno hopo
that the possibility of Increased earn
ings would enable Hie carriers to gel
intotlnrtwnrkot for more lumber.
''.The railroads In normal times nro
among tho heaviest purohasera of
Northwestern lumber products," he
said. "In tho last few yearn their
oertilnxs havo been shrinking and
they havo1een Vept out of' tho mar
ket Consequently the lumber 'n

Comnttaelvn'B decision will enable
tbem to re-enter Ike field and make

It will do much to atlismbUe the lum
ber Industry."
Hanker Keen HeneAts.
George W. Hatee, preeldtnt of the
Lumbermens National Hank, said: "'t

"U bt natural, uao. that If the rail
roads are enabled to etvrn moro mon
ey they will be provided with a better
market for their securities. That,
too, should be helpful to the North

"What ovor holps tha lumber mar

other matters that will bo taken up
by tho court will be tho question of

STATU HOUSE,
Salem. Oregon. Dec 22, 191 1.
Tho County Court,
Crook County,
Prinevlle, Oregon.
Gentlemen:
, It has come to my attention that
your honorable body la considering
doing away with the services of the
county agriculturist. Whtlo this mat
tor Is of course outsldo my province,
I venture to write you to oxpresn my
porsonal opinion, which Is that Crook
county would be making a grave mls
tako at thla tlmo to abolish a work
so woll begun.
My rather wide oxperlenco In agri
cultural affairs convinces me that
Just such work as you have conducted
during the last year la of the highest
commercial value, to tho farmer an 1
tho city tax payor, who reaps rewards
naturally, from all that tends to In
creaso production nnd land valuoj.
And In your particular Instanco I
heppen to tx rollably ndvisod that

of tho gentleman charged with your
work. Theroforo I bespeak serious
consideration on your part before any

Very truly yours.

What was balled as a victory for
Oregon In tbo controversy over tho
$160,000 allotment for irrigation
work horo was announced In dtap.it
tlies from Washington last week. ir
rnrro sober examination of the isrte.
however, it became apparent that the
victory waa not so great after all and
that soma time may yet elapse beforo
Central Oregon sees any Federal rec
lamation moncr spent.
From the beginning It has been folt
by nearly all that Secretary Lano was
the stumbling block In tbo -way of
tho Immediate allotment to a Central
Orogou projcot of tho Federal $ Iflrtf
000 and tho efforts of tho dregsn.
congressional delegation havo been
directed toward recalling to his mind
tbo promises he waa understood' to
havo mado when he visited the Dev
cr.utoa valley lost year.
Congressman Slnnott has beqn csj
peclally active In thla and on Satujj
day Congressman Slnnott tclograps
ed C C. Chapman, manager of tli
Portland Commercial Club, as fol
lows: "Secretary Lane told senator
Cnamborlaln aad myself that he
would recommend to the house oom
m'ttce approprlaUon of $4(0.000 r
moro If necessary, to be expended nn
lomo Oregon project now undor In
vostlgation by eaglneera of tbo Ljitjaf-.
tor department and recommended trr
Hum without conditioning such ap
pioprjatlon upon the appropriation of
llko sum by the State of Oregon."
Tbo news contained In this mes
aago was at first believed to represent
a coniploto chango of front on the
part of Secretary Lano but when l
camo to bo studied It was reallxed
that thla waa far from being tbo case.
,VlUxurther- ,explaaatlon-fron
Washington It became apparent that
Lano waa sticking to his guns on tho
Reclamation Service allotment and at
the samo time trying to stop the "
gument and criticism from Orojtm
by offering to try to get Congress to
make an appropriation without an
tings on it.
Lnne'x Action Queried.
That tbla uroceduro on the part '
Scretary Lane was not fully undir-
od In Portland la Indicated by Up
following from The Oregon Journal
Just what did Secretary Lano
t ean, wae the question asked ' r
lice close to the teetanMUloa pr

Tbi nesaaee indicated that U;
