WILL KEEP OUT oEA1RusTS
Oregon Wooden Mills Will Not Enter the
Combine.

Combine.
There is not likely to be a woo,el
mill trust on the Pacific coast. A
least the man who is out here from tn
East for the purpose of forming such
trust is not meeting with much en-
couragement.
He is supposed to be an emmissarI
of the big wooden goods trust recently
formed in the East, and his object ii
to get the mills of the coast all under
control so that the pt ices can be raised
and at the same time the invasion oi
the Western mills into Eastern ter.
ritory shut off.
For few years past the mills of this
section have been putting their goods
farther and farther east, and while the
competition does not amount to much,
the trust does not know how soon or
how rapidly it may grow, and there
fore would like to close most of our
mills up.
For several days the promoter of
this scheme has been at Salem trying
to induce the Salem wooden mills to
enter the combine.
J. L. Bowman, manager of the Salem
mills business in Portland, returned
last night from Salem, where he has
been going over the ground with those
interested.
"We have had q number of propo-
sitions of late to enter a combine"
said he, "but none of them have been
very interesting to US. We have
good business there, and things are
running nicely. We are not making
much money out of the business, but
we prefer to run it ourselves.
ALI of our interests are here in
Oregon. We have a good mill and
many good workmen, who hayo been
with US for years. Should we sell our
plant to the trust it might mean that
it would be closed down. That would
be bad for us, bad for all the men and
bad for this section where all our in
terests are. What we want is to see
Oregon go ahead, and the formation
of trusts are not calculated to add to
the progress of the state.
81 believe that every payroll created
and kept up in the state is of so much
value to the state, and l know Of no
better or surer way to help the state to
grow than by forming and keeping up
good pay-rolls."
W. T. Jenkins, jr., of the Browns
vile mills, said when asked if his peo-
pie would enter the trust:
"They will not touch it with a long |
pole. If there isn't a trust formed in |
Oregon until the Brownsville woolen |
mills go into one, this country will be
free from trusts for a long time, in my
opinion.
"In addition to having a good mill
and good business for marketing our
goods. our people are owners of i'm
mense herds of sheep. They produce
1t least 15O, ,OOJ pounds of wool annually.
and they wouldn't care to place them
selves at the mercy of trust:"-Port-

THE FLYER FLEW.
The Little Boat Developed Speed of 23
Miles an Hour.

The Little Boat Developed a Speed of 23
| Miles an Hour.
The D. P. & A. n. steamer Inland
Flyer made it's first trial trip last Tues
day since being overhauled. The boat
was in charge of Capt c. M. Alden, and
left the Oak street dock, Portland, at
10 o'clock. steaming down the William
| cite river at a speed of Is miles an
hour until Knapp's beacon on the Col
nmbia was reached. From there she
spurted to Fale's beacon, covering the
distance in fraction more than five
minutes. The government course, a
knot, or 1t mile, over which the tor
pedo-boats Davis and Fox were sped,
was covered in minutes and % sec
onds, giving good illustration of the
Flyers ability.
Although this was the first trial
since the engines have been overhauled
and condenser put in, the machinery
worked very smoothly, and the result
of the trial was eminently satisfactory.
During the squirt between Knapp's and
Fale's the engines, though "hooked
up" attained speed of 800 revolutions
to the minute under 240 pounds OF
steam. Uuluckily, ''gasket" blew
out at this stage, causing the gauge to
fall to an average of $50 pounds. Yet
the distance was covered at rate of
speed of a little over % miles per hour.
While the Flyer is able to develop
great speed for a short run, it was
found that her fire boxes were not
large enough to keep up steam suffi-
cient to maintain high rate of speed
for long distance while using wood
for fuel. The company will therefore
try burning coal, which it is expected
will prove more satisfactory than wood.
The Flyer is indeed one of the swift
est boats in the northwest, and if she
can be made carry steam for long
run, may yet accomplish the feat of
making the round trip between The
Dalles and Portland in day, or pos
sibly that of imbing the rapids at
Case ades during high stages of water,
when the locks cannot be operated. |
