BENDS NEW SAWMIIL Is
IN OPERATION AT LAST

Bend, Or.-The sawmir of the Pilot
Butte Development company, located
here is now cutting lumber, the ola
mill having been destroyed by fire
on April %. The new plant erected
since then is much better and has a
capacity of $4,000 feet daily. The
company recently built a dry kiln,
which is operated in connection with
the sawmill. The destruction of the
old plant came at time when there
was a brisk demand for lumber. as a
building boom of no mean proportion
was in progress at that time. While
the loss of the mill temporarily halted
some of this activity, it did not stop
it entirely, and the buildings under
construction at the time of the fire
and a few others have been complet-
ed since the mill burned. 1t is under
stood that a number of buildings both
III the town and in the surrounding
country have been waiting for the
plant to resume operations, and con-
struction on these will be started at
once.

WALNUT GROWERS WANT
TO FORM a COMBINE,

Observation-Disclosures of English
walnuts produced in this country are
not satisfactory to growers and they
are figuring on forming an organiza-
ton to boost returns. In a letter to
Senator Smith of South Carolina, a
rancher, living near San Juan Capis-
trano, California, says there is not
enough money in the business and
asks the opinion of the senator on the
question of forming a combine. They
do not want to form a trust, he says,
but to get some safe form of co-opera-
ton that will uplift profits.
1t was because he had heard of the
prowess of the southern statesman
as one of those who had led the cot
ton growers out of n state of disas-
ter that the California man appealed
to the senator for advice. Several
years ago cotton sold for five cents
a pound, which was only another
name for starvation. Prominent men,
among them Smith, considered the
problem and reached the conclusion
that the solution law in organizing the
cotton farmers.
The theory was that with co-opera-
ton the farmers would be able to
contest with the cotton gamblers who
manipulated prices. Smith visited ev-
cry part of the south, Tousing the
farmers to unite, in defense of their
interests. They responded, a great
organization was formed. the acre
age OF cotton was reduced and prices
began to improve.

There were probably 225 people
on the grounds. The crowd began
to gather about 2 O'Clock. Two
large wagons carried loads of those
who had no private conveyance.
The day was pleasant and the crowd
jolly. People came in buggies, in
autos, on horseback and on bicycles.
In the evening the band came out
in full force and delighted the peo-
pie with their music. Several swings
had been prepared for use and they
did not stand idle. Fifteen gallons
of cream only partly met the de-
mand. In the evening at the proper
time the tables were spread with the
good things brought for the occas-

$50 at the large table while others in
family groups spread the tables on
the ground. All accounted it most

less vote to make it an annual affair.
The crowd began to disperse about
8 o'clock. The bright moonlight
and cool evening made the ride
home most pleasant.
