President f. H. Libby has returned
from an extended eastern conference
with those interested in the Lewiston
Water e. Power company, several big
irrigation schemes and many affairs of
much moment that count for the prog

country.
In an interview i'm the current issue
of the Charleston Republican Mr.. Libby
is quoted as saying;
THE eastern money market is nov

struction works must necessarily be
held back until the stock water is
squeezed out of the "undigested secur-

opinion of good authorities that pres

that -withn a few months the money
market will be all right again, so that
Industrial operations can proceed.

were unhealthy and could hardly have

impossible unrealities leading to sure

history. the west has not followed the

and forced the conclusion that sound
industrial enterprises in the west will

for it's proper development many mil
lions of dollars of new capital for
transportation lines for power develop
ment, for manufacturing for develop
ing its mineral resources, and for mu-
nicipal improvements. Fake promot-

no easier time than they have had in

for the best interest of all concerned
will eventually be squeezed out of ex-

rains are prevailing passed through the
week unscathed while most every other

attractions of the week and those who
saw it may well be satisfied for the
opportunities of viewing this are becm-

members of the tribe are passing away
over the great divide.

Official documents and reliable data,

have failed to appoint any repre-

eminent makes no provision Tor
compensating them. But that is
true also OF the other States which
have representatives and which are
now engaged In getting up the inior-
nation desired. IL may be that the
States which have acted in the mas
