Finding domand for a grcntor out

tho McICinley-IIampson Lumbor Com

formurly known as Griffin's sawmill,
cast ot Dond, will suspend operations
for the time being and will make

of a modern now mill about sovon
miles from Dend In tho heart ot the
timber in that locality. Tho com
pany has boon compelled to sus
pend -operations for a tow weeks,
owing tb tho cold weather and tho
scarcity ot water in tho ditches.
A. M. McKlnlcy was In town this

BEND BANK PRAISED
Oregon Voter Ha Kind Thing
About I-'Irttt Natotial.
Under tho caption, "Enterprising
Dank," the, Oregon Voter has the
following to say concerning tho lat
est piece of enterprise on the part
of the First National Dank, ot Dond,
in Issuing tho llural Credit laws. Tho
book referred to was printed In Tho
Dullotln shop.
Says The Voter:
"Characteristic of Dend enterprise
nnd ot tho bank which Issued it is a
24-page book just published by tho
First National Dank of Dend, Oregon,
outlining tho Federal and Oregon
llural Credits systems. It contains
an amortization tablo, tho toxt of
tho Federal Farm Loan Act and ot
tho Oregon llural Credlta Amend
ment and u statoment that tho hank
Is on the Job as usual to help tho
farmers ot tho Dend country.
"Thl bank was tho fltst In Oro
gon to buy darly cattle and hogs by
tho carload for breeding purposes
and sell them to farmers on long
time notes at cost prices. More
power to the bank that is alive to
farmers' needs, for such u bank la
ono of the greatest assets of a pio
neer .agricultural country."
WILL IMPROVE STOCK
Only llcgi.stcrcd Dull urn Allowed
at HUttr.
t
Hereafter the stock men In tho
Sisters country are to live up strict
ly to the rulings ot tho state asso
ciation lu the matter of allowing on
ly registered bulls on tho range, It
has been decided by the Sisters Cat
tle association. Stock owners who
aro unable to purchase registered
male stock, will pay a fee of f 1 per
head for each head of female stock
turned out on the rango.
The step Is being taken to Insure
better beef cattle, and to guard
against the deterioration of stock
through the introduction of poor
blood.
BEND MERCHANTS EXPECT
A BUSY HOLIDAY TRADE

Estimate of Some,
Again emphasizing, tho importance
ot "doing your Christmas shopping
early," Dend merchants declare that
holiday business this year will eclipso
all previous records. Soma gtvo tho
Increase ns high as 50 per cent over
last year, othors namo tho probable
gain at n lower rate, hut all agree
that there will bo a decided advanco
in purchases. Stocks ordered, and
now on hand, aro In proportion to
theso expectations.
Clothlors, druggists and dealers In
toys and stationery aro already feel
ing tho increased demand for tuoro
and better Christmas goods, whlto
In grocers' lines, tho rush Is as yet
only slightly felt. Tho Ingredients

turo dealers report a slight, hut very
steady growth In trade
Tho gain In business will bo duo
largely, tnerc'iauts say, to tho In-
cruaso In tho population ot tho city
during tho past yenr, although It Is
conceded that tho per capita expen
diture will also bo larger. Tho fact
that n largo pay roll has boen In ox

Hy John I)ulm(s,
During a moating ot tho Central

this plan, and as tho 'settlors aro
