IS
Market Due for Comeback
As Present Situation at
Lowest Ebb Optimism Is
Needed in Country.
In the opinion of James II.
Owen, general manager of the
Owen - Oregon number company,
"the lumber market has reached the
bottom, arid brighter day, which
will be slow In coming, are uheud."
This Is the most cheerful note
that has arisen trom tho lumber
Industry In many a day.
"The lumber Industry can't get
any worse, so It will have to get
better," Is the theory of Manager
Owen. "It will take time to gather
In the stack, and make re-adjustments,
made necessary by eco
nomic conditions. It will be hard
for the laboring man the coming
winter, but everybody should keep
ns many men at work as pos
sible." He said his own vhief
problem was to keep operating,
without shutdowns, and believed
he would attain this end.
"The country has the 'blues',"
according to Mr. Owen, "and there
Is too much pessimistic talk on the
street corners. We need a li ttlo
more optimism, and less agitating.
"We arc gt'Ufns about what was
coming to us," continued Mr.
Owen. "We went too fast, and
lived too high, and made mis
takes. Now everybody should put
his shoulder to the wheel, and help
u little. There is just as much
money In the country as there ever
was, and with a little patience and
work, we will come out of the
gloom. Wo have got to pay, and
cut our cake a little thinner."
Manager Owen also stated that
ho thought considerable of the
present depression was real, but
aggravated by imagination.
