"MORE CARS" THE CRY
Polk County SawmiIIs Can Ship Only
One-Fifth of Their Product.

The car situation in Polk county is
assuming a serious aspect. With
millions of feet of lumber piled up in
the yards at Dallas and Falls City,
and with orders for shipments pour
ing in from all parts of the United
States, the mill men are now securing
an average OF only three cars day
for the entire district. The sawmills
in Dallas and Falls City are cutting,
on a safe estimate, 100000 feet Of lum-
ber day, and the cars furnished will
move less than 20 per cent of this out
put. The Falls City Lumber Com
pany has nearly 100000 feet await
ing shipment, the Oberer- Meyer mill
is practically at standstill, and the
johnson and Willamette Valley mills
in Dallas are seriously handicapped
by reason of the lack OF transportation
facilities.
The mill owners of the county feel
that they are not receiving fair treat
ment at the hands Of the railroads,
and are gathering evidence to show
that there is discrimination against
Polk county.
Whether this discrimination is in
tentional OF whether it so happens on
! account or location, Jney 40 not KNOW,
but the fact remains that such dis
elimination does exist. They an
nounce their intention of doing all in
their power to induce the railroad
companies to relieve the situation,
and failing in this move, it is probable
that they will carry their fight for
justice into the next Oregon Legis-
lature. 1t is the general opinion in
the Willamette Valley that if the rail
roads do not come to the relief of the
shippers soon, that stringent car
shortage bill will be passed by the
next Legislature. Should the Legis-
lature fail to come to the relief of the
mill owners, it is certain that such a
measure would be adopted by the
people at the following general elec-
tion, under the new initiative clause
in the state constitution.

BIG TIMBER DEAL
L. GerIinger and Associates Buy
tialIOck Tract of 22OO Acres
Near Dallas.

The largest timber deal ever made
in Polk county was closed last Thurs
day, when d. J. Riley, r. E. Williams,
I. N. Woods and j. G. VanOrsdel sold
the Hallock tract of 2200 acres to L..
Gerlinger and his business associates.
About $4,000 was involved in the
change of ownership. Mrs. M. e.
Hallock gave an option on the property
to the Dallas men few months ago
for $4,000, so it will be seen that the
sellers made a neat profit on the trans
action. Nearly every acre OF the land
is covered with good saw timber, and
it is considered good buy at $4,000.
Negotiations are now pending for
the purchase of the mills and timber
holdings of the w. w. Johnson Lum-
ber Company by Mr.. Gerlinger and
his associates. The reports that the
Willamette Valley Lumber Company
had opened negotiations for the pur-
chase of this property were made with
out authority, and are incorrect
George I. Gerlinger, secretary Of the
Willamette Valley Lumber Company,
informs the OBSERVER that his com
pany has nothing to do with the pro.
posed deal. 1t is stated on good
authority, however, that should the
mill pass into the hands of the new
company, it will continue to be oper'
ated, and probably on a larger scale
! than ever before.

HOPS MOVE FREELY
Good Demand For Strictly Choice
Goods at 10 Cents.

The hop market so far this year
differs from the opening market OF
last year in that all the business has
been done by exporters. Last year
the English firms we're slow to enter
the market, and the greater part OF
the early buying was done by the
Eastern houses. The conditions this
year would indicate that there is
heavy shortage Of hops abroad and
that the London buyers are anxious
to stock up on choice goods. The
market has a decidedly healthy tone.
The farmers do not appear to be in
any great hurry to sell at l6 or IL
cents, and predictions of 20-cent
market for strictly choice hops are
made.
John Carmichael, representing
Wigan. Richardson q Co., of London,
has made purchases at Is cents, but
denies that he offered ia cents Ior the
Burch crop at Rickreall. Among the
crops bought by Carmichael In the
Dallas district this week were the
Foster crop, 22O bales; the Bell crop,
1902 bales; the Plankinton crop, ia
bales; the Steffy crop, 107 bales; the
Judson crop, SO bales; the MeBee %
Hughes crop, Sc bales the Fern crop,
26 bales.
julius Pincus, representing Lach-
mund q Pincus has purchased as
follows: @. d. Shepard, 35 bales ID.
Nachtigall. 120 bales; the Frlesen
crop: DR.. V. Fink & Son, ITO bales
Peter Hansen, 103 bales.
E. M. Young, buying for hlaber'
Wolfe & Meter, secured from q. y.
Gardner, 40 bales; Justin Hunter, 30
bales l.. Ritner, 100 bales.
r. e. Williams and d. O. Kirk
patrick have bought as follows; Bari
Constable, 6S bales; Hubbard q
Wright. 68 bales; Farley q Wong, LOG
bales Townsend Bros, 81 bales. Mr.
Williams has also taken in all OF his
contract hops.
So far there has been no demand FOL
other than choice hops. 1t may be
added that strictly choice goods are
exceedingly scarce this year, and tha'
the greater portion of this quality is
found in the Dallas district. Those
in position to know assert that fully
60 per cent of this years's crop is cheaI
stuff for which the growers Will b'
lucky to get 10 cents pound.

No better proof Of the thorough work
done in the Dallas public school Is
needed than that found in a letter from
Carl Osfield, of Portland, to Principal
REYNOLDS. Carl writes that upon
entering the city schools last month,
he was given a searching examination
by the Principal, and at its conclusion
was advanced six months, or one
half grade, above the grade received
by him at the final examination IN
Dallas in June. A son of Rev. Wardle
entered a public school in California
recently and was also advanced six
months over his grade in the Dallas
school.
Joseph Crowther received word from
Washington this week that he bad
been granted a patent on his steam
boat propeller. Mr.. Crowther has
been working on this invention for
many years, and is assured by experts
that he has made a valuable improve
ment Oh the old-style propeller. While
in Minnesota last year, he made a
test Of his invention by attaching It to
a gasoline launch and making a trial
run. The test showed that fully so
per cent less power was required 10
operate this propeller than the one
/ formerly used on the launch. Further
working tests will be made before
placing the invention on the market.

pensates its victim with a saving grace
of humor which makes even the power
ty a source of fun. A young woman
who was possessed of the temperament
and had given up eve. ything else for
it suddenly sold a picture for a consid-

the proceeds as a first payment on a
small cottage she had long desired.
The former owner attempted to advise
her about the neighbors.
