That the country is on the eve OF

In an interview given The News to-
day, Mr. Mc1nnis carefully reviews
conditions leading up to the present
low prices prevailing in the lumber
world, and discusses the peculiarities
brought on by the war.
He said:
There is a good, wholesome pub
lie opinion regarding local conditions
and future prospects. and believe the
community is in a better state of or
ganization and cOhesiveness than has
been the case for a long time. Profit
making has been very bare, impOs-
sible in some lines, which brought the
necessity for reforms of a far reach
ing nature. All classes, believe,
have been favorably affected by same,

ers, and | think in the end they will
reap a reward. We felt that the lum-
Der market was looking up, the de

but the German complications have
asserted a renewed conservatism that
