81 have told the local committee to-
day that we cannot do anything fur
ther towards re-establishing the
woolen mill until they first finish the
work that they have undertaken to
do" declared Roy T. Bishop today in
speaking Of the present status of the,
mill movement.
That he is becoming somewhat inn
patient at the delays with which the
mill movement is constantly beset is
freely admitted by Mr. Bishop. He is
/ anxious to get his mill into operation
as soon as possible so as to have
| goods ready for delivery next fall. To
do this samples must be manufactured
this spring and orders taken during
the summer.
Local people do not seem TO real
| iZe the difficulties we have to over
come in establishing the mill here.
nor do they fully realize the benefit
the town will receive from having the
mill in operation again." saws Mr..
Bishop. In the matter of power and
labor Pendleton is at a disadvantage
compared with some other locations.
We have had to consider these things.
We submitted certain conditions up
on which we would take the mill and
our terms seemed fair and satisfactory
to the committee We made conces-
sions to them wherever we could.
Relying upon the local people to
carry out the understanding we pur-
chased the old mill machinery and
paid the cash for it. 1t is now up to
the Pendleton people to do their part
of the work or else we will be forced
to move the mill to some other loca-
tion. There are several other places
that desire IT,"
Since his arrival here the last time,
Roy Bishop has had complete plans
drawn for the new mill buildings: has
made provisional arrangements for
an exhibit at the Seattle fair and for
soliciting business this summer But
he will do nothing further until their
conditions are met by the local peo-
pie,
In the matter of selling the remain
der of the woolen mill bonds the COM
mittee as a whole has not been at
work lately Several members of the
committee have been out of town,
among them being W. F. Matlock. the
chairman.
However. considerable private work
has been done, especially by G.. NJ.
Rice. Yesterday Senator Levi Ankeny
signed for $1,000 worth of the bonds.
Though much of the local money is
yet to be raised, all those concerned
express confidence that it can be
secured. But the work is not pro-
'eeding with the speed that Mr. Bish-
op and others would like to see mani
'ested.
What we want" says Bishop, SIS
o see this money entirely raised and
he other conditions met so we can go
head with out part of the bargain"
