LACK OF FREIGHT CARS The CAUSE

COTTAGE GROVE, Or, Nov. Is
owing to the continued car shortage
the Industrial outlook is assuming q
very grave and gloomy aspect in this
great numbering and timbering COM
munity. Many large saw mill plants
are being compelled to shut down for
want of cars to move their products
resulting in scores of large contracts
for timber and lumber being Cancelled.
1t is estimated that there is 1.OOO.-
900 feet of lumber awaiting shinment
in this vicinity. Campbell & Walker
have 100000 feet of fine pilings ready
for shipment but can get no cars. The
Brown Lumber company has 1000 900
feet Of lumber ready for delivery on
orders, but cannot get a single car
and must soon shut down. Chambers
Lumber company has 100000 feet all
ready for delivery, but is unable to
get cars. and as a result of the great
accumulation of lumber on it's docks
a portion of the plant collapsed last
week, precipitating 100000 feet Of fine
lumber in nearby stream, the greater
portion Of which will be a total loss.
Already the big Wildwood saw has
been forced to shut down on account of
the crowded condition Of it's yards, re-
sulting from the car shortage, thus
putting 80 to 100 men out of employ
| ment. The Cerrogorda mill and several
| other mills have also been forced to
shut down from the same cause, and
| if there is no relief afforded in the
| way Of transportation facilities there
| will not be a single mill in opera
ton in this territory by January 1.
The loss to mill owners, the labor
ing and business men in the country
in general, has already been appalling
and promises to become even more Sc
rious. The recent advance of 81 per
thousand on lumber in San Francisco
would mean thousands of dollars to

they deliver their product and fill the
accommodating orders just now.
| Mindful of the gloomy industrial
outlook for this great milling commu-
nifty, the Cottage Grove Commercial
club has taken the matter up vigor-
ously, and through it's efforts a great
mass meeting of the Upper Valley
commercial bodies will be held at Eu-
gene, December S, to thoroughly dis
cuss the situation and devise ways and
means, if possible, to bring relief to the
stricken Industries of this section of
the state.
The monetary loss resulting from
car shortage in this community alone
will run far into the thousands of
| dollars, and it is estimated that at
least 400 cars are needed to relieve
the congested condition of the lumber
| docks of this vicinity, Campbell &
Walker, piling dealers, alone being in
need of 80 cars.

WASHINGTON, OREGON And THE NORTHWEST

about o'clock Slaughter was blowing
in his garden when he was shot down
by some one standing 1S9 feet distant,
the person firing between an opening
in a board fence and also through a
picket fence, two pickets having been
perforated by balls, one of which
struck Slaughter There were three
shots fired.
Goes for Gun When Hit.
When Slaughter was hit he ran into
his house by way Of the kitchen,
grabbed his shotgun there and left
by the front door, all the time yelling
for help and leaving a trail of blood
behind. proving that he had gone into
the the house and picked up the gun
In the road he met Albert Pender, a
neighbor, who took the gun from him,
extracted two loaded shells and
helped him to Pomeroy's house, where

of living and dying are about even.
He was removed to WOODBURY. that
evening. His shoulder bone is fractured

where the bullet entered being as large
as an old two-cent piece. There have

shooting Slaughter said that he did
not see the one who shot him, but
supposed it was one of the gang that
had been trying to get rid of him all
summer; that Coldren had not nerve
enough to do it, and Remington must
have done it, and had been urged on
by Mrs. Slaughter.
Three empty shells were found by
Fender at the spot where it is sup
posed the one who fired at Slaughter
stood. They are 1920 caliber.
It Made Remington Tired.
The evidence of Constable Beach
was highly important. He testified to
meeting Remington on Hardcastle ave-
nue., after the shooting; did not say
anything to him then, but followed
him into his (Remington's) store,
where Remington said:
II know what you're after. Take a
chair and I'll tell you all about it,"
showing fatigue in his voice.
Remington then told Beach that he
had done the shooting; that he had
stood his buildings being fired and

long as he could; had had no sleep for
long time, and determined to put
Stop to it. He said he fired three
shots, the first in the air, then threw

that he hid it on Hardcastle avenue

WOODBURY.. Or, Nov. 2S.-In the
Eugene Remington hearing yesterday
morning court convened in ". W
Slaughter's bed room, and the wounded
mans testimony was taken. Slaughter ,
evidence was that he was blowing
when there was a shot from the west
and he felt a singing sensation in the
back. He Strengthened 10 and looked
around when a seconu sho7 caught him
in the shoulder. He was also hit in
the eye, which might have been the
third shot, fired as he was running. He
told about getting his gun in the
house. so as to be prepared in the
event of some one following him. He
had not used the gun since the week
of October 20 when he killed gray
digers. He used No. 10 shells. A nephew
visiting him that week had his own
gun and used No. II shells, firing about
considerably.
He thought of Remington as soon
as he was hit, as the latter did not
like him. He denied ever having writ
ten a letter to Remington in his life,
nor did he try, he said, to burn Rem
ington's house, having been at home
that night.
Witness than told of his family
troubles, of his wife's suing for di-

trouble when he got back from Cali

his wife a short time after returning

placed under bonds on the charge of
making threats.
