CHEER UP AND BOOST, SAYS
 [. W. VAN DYKE
Manager of Warren Company Returns From Trip East Full of Encouraging Reports On Industrial Conditions.

Col O. w Van Dyke, manager os the Warren Company, returned yes.
 terday afternoon from vacation of
 five weeks. which he spent in the east
 and northwest. Mir. Van Dyke was greatly benefited by the outing. having
 gained several pounds and improved decidedly in health.
 In regard to conditions in the north
 west Mir. Van Dyke has only words of
 encouragement to offer. He says:
 The hard times, so-called, apparently
 have had no effect upon the agricul-
 tural sections, and industrial condi- tions are good throughout the north
 west. Wheat is today selling at the
 highest point seen in years, and the crop outlook for the present year could
 not be better. I passed through sew
 eral states of the east and northwest,
 both going and returning, and was immensely pleased and encouraged by
 what l saw. Farming is the basis of our prosperity, and 1t is safe to pre- dict general revival of industry with in short time. Harvest begins in June along the southern wheat belt, and from that time until September the reaper will move northward, gath ering millions of wealth, creating fresh demand for a thousand lines, and starting the wheels of industry.
 Many of the factories that were shut down some weeks ago are start ing up on one-fourth to one-half time, which will be gradually increased with demand. The railroads, also, are picking up, l notice There are signs on every hand that the present de- precision can not last much longer. There was actually no excuse for 1t in the first place, unless we can give politics as an excuse. Buff if presi- dential politics caused any scare, the country is rapidly coming to the point where it can see the absurdity of the whole thing. In short, there never has been anything in national politics to be scared about this year The ma jority of the people will, as usual, elect a president, and, as usual, he will be all right.
 "On my trip east with Governor Johnson to the Shiloh battlefield, the Minnesota executive received an ova- ton everywhere. Through Kentucky and Tennessee he was repeatedly compelled to make rear platform speeches to thousands of people. The trip to Shiloh was not political in na- ture by any means, the object being to unveil monument to Minnesota soldiers who fell in that battle Nevertheless, the people would view Johnson from the standpoint of poli- tics, and size him up as a presiden- tial possibility. This critical survey of the man among strangers added great strength to his candidacy. The east and south are for him, and am creditably informed that it is the pur- pose of several state delegations. re- ported for Bryan to give the Nebraska man a complimentary vote and then work for Johnson. I predict John sons nomination at Denver on the second or third ballot
 "Of course I am glad to get back. The Warren District looks better than ever to me. About the first thing I saw on arriving in Bisbee were those booster buttons distributed by the Board of Trade. and the sight was pleasing. No people in the country have more reason to boost than have those of the Warren District, for the present and future prospects of this community are so splendid that it would be hard to adequately describe them. Everybody should feel good. There is ample reason for it."
 Speaking of the town of Warren. Mir. Van Dyke says it looks better and bigger than ever to him. Work has been progressing during his absence along several important lines, and fully dozen houses have been started within the month The new electric road to the Country Club is nearly completed, and will be in operation in few days.
