'Honestly. I never thought this
l)C!30iiuien country was worth a eon
tlncrtnl bo far us n-rlridinro v.-rb
concerned, but Sunday I went out
over tho Powell Btttto section, and
It's the finest I've over seen. I never
had any Idea you could ralo bucIi
things hero. I knew tho tlmhor wus
hero, of course, but I thought that
was all. Why, It was wonderful.
"All tho way out 1'vo been telling
Ed Chrlatlnn that he ought to buy
this piece of land or that. I showed
him Eomo nt Powell Illver and Sat
urday I said. 'Let's get some of this
loegod off stuff from the company,"
nnd Ed said 'What would 1 do with
that' but when ho saw thnt Powell
Rutto land he was mora enthusiastic
than I was."
This was what a representative of
Tho Bulletin ran Into when he tried
to get M. J. Scanlon, of the Brooks
Scanlon Company to talk about busi
ness conditions nnd the prospects for
the lumber trade and how tho com
pany's local plant was performing, a
few hours before Mr. Scanlon left on
tils return to Minneapolis Monday
night. Mr. Scanlon would sny a
few words about business or lumber
and then ho would switch back to
wholo paragraphs about local agri
cultural conditions, and how ho could
hardly bellovo what ho bad seen nnd
had never before even Imagined It
possible In this country.
Will Experiment Ilcic.
Incidentally, and of tho utmost
Importance and Interest locally, Mr.
Scinlon said that he had been bo Im
pressed that ho had told the com
pany's logging superintendent that
whenever ho had enough logs ahead
and could span! tho tlmo, to clear
100 acres of tho logged off land and
aee what could be Jono with alfalfa

night now," Mr. Scanlon said,
There Is nothing west of tho moun
tains that Is anything like the pros
perity which all sections to tho east
are enjoying. It Is truo that every
nnn who wants work can get It to
day but peoplo aro not mnklng mon
i'V In the west as fast as they aro In
tha cast.
'A llttlo hardship has been caused

Just ns much realized from what Is
left as thore would havo been If tho
rust hod not struck In. It will not
be bo evenly dlvldod, that Is all. Of
courso. that makes a difference with
tho railroads, but general conditions
ar fine." , ,
Asked about tho lumber business,
Mr. Scanlon said that It was Im
proving but that prices were not yet
what thoy should be. "Tho live
vears after tho end of the war,
though," said Mr. Scanlon, "I ex
pect to ho tho most prosperous the
lumber business has ever known.
The price at home," he continued, Is
h-ued on what wo havo to ship
abroad and there will be quantities
of lumber shipped abroad when the
war Is over.
There Is nothing to say about our
nUnt," said Mr. Scanlon, "which has
not already been said. We have
been running pretty close for men
ard shall need more In a few weeks
when the box factory starts up, but
we havo been fortunate in not haying
any such shortage as other sections
have experienced.
'I don't think the town of Bend
realizes even yet what It has in these

will soon be 1125,000 a month and
1 expect to see Bend the very beat
town in the whole state. There won t
be anything to beat It. but that Pow
ell Butte country is certainly nne,
and I understand there la a lot more
around here that I didn't get to
tee."
Mr. Scanlon came In on Thursday
on one of hU periodic visits. With
him wore E. M. Christian and O. F.
Howarth. of Minneapolis, who have
charge of Insurance matters for the
Brooks Interests. They left Monday

BOOKS BEING AUDITEO
C. O, I. Co. IteoortU are at Lnt Open,
cd to Permit Examination.
Tho chief object sought by tho set
tlers on the C. O. 1. Co. project in
their complaint to the Public Service
Commission and In previous appeals
to the Desert Land Board, that the
books of the company be audited to
discover how maintenance fees were
being spent, is now being realized.
Robert F. Rtsuting, auditor of the
commission, has been In Deschutes
for oer a weok -working on the
books and collecting material for a
report to the commission.
As a result of this Investigation,
In which it is understood that the
company is giving all desired assist
ance, the report of the commission
on Its recent Investigations of other
features of the system is expected to
be delayed. At the hearing Attor
ney Jesse Stearns took the position
that the books would not be opened
to the commission unless all the di
rectors assented.
PETTY THIEVES ABROAD.
Auto owners who leave their ma
chines standing in the streets have
been the victims of thieves recently,
E P. Brosterhous having had a num.
bcr of inner tubes stolen and the
wind shield havinc been taken from

Nixon warns all auto owners against
leaving personal property in their
mccuii.es.
NEW HOTEL TO START SOON.
Construction of the new Pilot
Butte Hotel will begin at once, ac
cording to mesiiagea received In Bend
this week from Phillip Brooks. Re
ports have been current to the effect
that the various Pilot Butte hotel
announcements were merely intend
ed to keep away other prospective
builders, but now Mr. Brooks has
come forward with a statement to
the effect that he has promised the
people of Bend the hovel and will be
gin construction at once.
RURAL CREDITS
LAW TO BENEFIT
SO
SAYS PROMINENT
BEND BANKER
C. S, Hudson, Who Attended Hearing
In Poitlmid Ijist Wook, Outlines
At nnd Points out Mnnm-r In
Wlildi It Will Aid tho I-'urmrr
That the new Federal rural cred
its law has unlookcd for possibll tleB
for tho development of Central Ore
gon Is the belief of C. S, Hudson,
president of the First National Bank,
who returned on Saturday from n
two day v'slt In Portland where ho
nttended the hearings on tho location
of the wes'tern land bank.
"The operation of thel aw Is quite
simple," Mr. Hudson said, In tnlktng
with n representative or The inula
tin tulo week. "Any 10 or more far
mers may form a rural credit asso
ciation and send an application for
loans to the bank or their district
The total applied for must bo at least
SS0. 000 and the lauds offered as so-
curlt.v must have the approval of a
committee from tho nssoclntlon,
Security Is Examined.
"When tho bank receives tho ap
plication It sends an Inspector to
look up tho security and one of Its
departments examines the title. If
the tltlo Is good nnd the Inspector
agrees with the local committee In
approving tho security the loans arc
made. On the security of the mortg
age glvou b the farmer the bank Is
sues bonds for salo to Investors nnd
no theso bonds arc non-tn.ililu they
should bo sought after by Investors
so that plenty of funds should bo
available from their salo to make
more loans. Tho original capital of
the banks will all bo put up by tho
Pnltod States. This bond feature,
however, Is not or especial Interest to
tho farmer who Is borrowing from
the bank. I speak of It to show how
tho details aro worked out.
"Tho thing thnt Interests the far
mer is the question of Interest on tho
money ho has borrowed. That, by
tho terras of the law, may not Ira
over six per rent and repayment of
the principal may bo made In small
Installments covering nu long as 30
years so thut annually the farmer
will pa out on account ot his loan,
both principal and Interest, no more
and ofton less than tho bnuks must
charge him, under the present ss
turn, for Interest alone.
Saving l STdil.noO.
"The saving which will be possible
to Oregon runners uione ir thoy
change their loans over to the now
bank, when It Is In operation, is es
timated to bo as much as $700,0,00
annunllv
"To the Central Oregon farmer or
ranchman the benefit will come hi
mnklng It possible for lilmo t obtain
a loan on his farm and use It to buy
cattle which ho can keep until calves
are bom. As It Is now he gets a
loan for tbreo to six months to buy
feeders and when the note Is duo
has to sell the stock, so that his on
ly or chief profit is what ho got for
his hay by feeding It to the cattle.
"Another benefit will come In hav
ing a value placed on tho farm by
the act or getting the loan. Loans
may not bo tnoro than CO per cent of
the value of the land hut when a
loan Is made a man can point to It
and say that It snows what his land
is worth. Today, slnco It Is almost
Impossible to get loanu on the se
curity of the real estate it cannot
be said what the property Is worth."
According to Mr. Hudson, It Is
yet Impossible to sny where the bank
will bo located, It may be In Bpo-
Kane, or roruanu or Sacramento.
DYER'S WHEAT YIELDS WELL.

Madras was visited br burglars on
Frlda) of last week, the safe being
removed from the Campbell meat
market and carried away from the

Its contents taken. Quite a sum of
