Premier Dunning, following up his proposal HAS BEEN ARRESTED of several days ago, that a bankers' conference be held to consider ways and means of helping the farmers to/ realize the utmost from their crops, now suggests that the bankers should "extend portions of amounts due them from all creditors to enable a more gradual liquidation." Local bankers, who were inter- viewed, professed that they failed to comprehend just what the pre- mier's proposal really meant. They presumed, however, that the pre- mier would have the banks step aside, while the farmers settled their accounts with ogher creditors, post- poning the payment of their debts to the banks. The bankers strongly urged the farmers to sell at the prices prevalil- ing when they are ready to market their crops, and emphatically op- posed the holding of the wheat for higher prices which might not ma- terialize. No one could predict the trend of . prices, and furthermore, prices were not controlled here, but in the big grain markets of the world, where th esupply and demand could be studied. *""The plan, if put in effect, is not likely to gain anything for the far- mers. You cannot shake the finan- clal arrangements of the entire west is this way, you know," one banker sald, "If the farmer needs money he can always obtain an advance from the commission man." __RANNEY FALLS RIVER NOW BEING OPERATED The Power House Is Situated Two Miles Below Camp- beliford.
