Silverton, Ore.-The sawmill own
ed by the Silverton Lumber company,
which was shut down last fall on ac-
count of unfavorable markets for
lumber, has resumed work and it is
said has engaged a crew of men to
extend its line of railroad further
into the timber located on the Abiqua
river. A full crew of men has not
been engaged to operate the mill as
yet but every wheel will be put in op-
Grafton in about 10 days, or as soon
as logs can be brought in from the
camps. This will give about $50 men
employment.

Optionists Charge Perjury.

Klamath Falls, Ore-Anvocates of
local option claim that in the trial Of
Luke Wright he and number of wit
nesses perjured themselves and the
matter has been brought before the
grand jury, The trial of Wright for
a violation of the local option law re-
suited in a hung jury. Numerous 9TH
er trials on similar charges areto fol-
low and 1t is thought that the move
ment to secure a perjury charge at
this time is for purposes of moral

Monday, when four Greek section
men objected to two of their number
being laid off, to be replaced by two
white men. the result of an order
from the road boss. The Greeks in
stead, had hoped that the white men
would be replaced to give more OF
their number work. This aroused
a stubborn feeling among them, and

AGAINST Auto Drivers.

Lincoln, June 10.-A petition for the
administration of the estate of Chris
TOPPER Schavland and the appointment
of Corine Schavland, the widow, adj
ministratrix, has been filed in county
court. The only property of the state

state board of equalization. He was
run over and killed by an automobile
driven by Herman Bernecker and Ber-

ow and three children of the deceased.

to The News: The annual picnic and
reunion of the local camp of the
Deutsche Landwehr Verein, which was
scheduled for yesterday at the River
side park at West Point, has been

phenomenal rains. Hundreds of peo-

An almost incessant rain for the
past four days has had the result of
flooding the fields in all low lying Sec
lions of the county and completely
stopping cultivation of the corn. Some
of the time the rain poured down in
torrents. The weather is cold, too
cool for corn, and fears of damage
are entertained. Small grain so far
has suffered no material injury from
the abnormally wet weather, but needs
the sun to develop. Pastures are the
only thing which seem to have been
improved by the rains.

PROPOSED 14-FooT CHANNEL PRO-
JEcT RECEIVES SETBACK.
BOARD REPORTS ADVERSELY
Board Of Engineers Reported to Con-
eress That Such a Water Way 10
acknowledgements an Eight
Foot Channel In Mississippi.

Washington, June 10.--The proposed
fourteen-foot water project from st
Louis to the gulf received blow to.
day when the board of engineers re-
ported to congress that such water
way is not desirable. The water way
would cost $12S,OOO,OO0 for construc-
ton and $6,OO0OOO annually for main
,tenance, the engineers say.
The report was based on survey
of the Mississippi river by a special
board of engineers created by con-
gress The conclusion reached by both
the special board and the regular
board of engineers are practically the
same.
The report of the regular board that
1t is not desirable to construct nav
igable channel fourteen feet deep from
st. Louis or from Chicago to the
mouth of the Mississippi was based on
the conclusion of the special board
that only commerce originating from
sources that do not at present ship
by river would justify the great cost
of fourteen-foot water way.
1t Is claimed that the present de-
mands Of commerce between st. Louis
and the gulf will be adequately met by
an eight-foot channel from St. Louis
to the mouth Of the Ohio, and chan
mel of not less than nine feet to the
mouth of the Mississippi. The boards
belief is that an eight-foot charmed
from Chicago to st. Louis is the least
that would adequately meet the de-
mands of commerce. 1t adds that such
waterway would be desirable, pro-
viding cost were reasonable. Present
and prospective demands of commerce
between Chicago and the gulf would
be adequately served, the board re-
ports, by a through nine-foot channel
to the gulf. Estimates for these chan
nels have not been completed but are
promised by congress by next Decem-
Der. General Marshall, chief of engi-
neers, informed congress in transmit
ting the report that he could not state
definitely whether either of those chan
nels was desirable until after accurate
estimates were made.

GOES FASTER THAN CARNEGIE.
At Present Rate, Mrs. Sage viii Be
Poor in Five Years.

New York, June 10.-At her present
rate of philanthropy it will take the
widow of Russell Sage about five years
more to give away the $65, 1000 900 for
tune which her husband built in fifty
years.
An examination of the philanthro-
pies of the financier's widow reveals
that for the past three years she has
been giving away $4,000 a day.
This remarkable system of charity
has been discovered through the in.
vestigation which is now being con.
Quoted by the Russell Sage's founda-
ton, into the feasibility of a universal
workingman's insurance scheme.
The men investigating this PROPOSE
ton are DR.. Lee X. Frankel. a promi.
nent Hebrew philanthropist and Miles
M. Dawson, leading actuary.
When they make their report 1t is
regarded as not at all impossible that
Mrs. Sage, in conjunction with mum.
her of leading employees throughout
the country, will institute a real work
ingmen's insurance, under government
supervision.
Throughout all of the philanthropies
of Mrs. Sage there appears the desire,
not so much to relieve poverty and
suffering as to remove the causes of
these evils.

HAY A SCARCE ARTICLE.
New Crop Not on the Market and Old
Crop About Exhausted.

Lincoln, June 10-John E. Erickson
of Montgomery, H., manager for all
G. b. & Q. stock feeding yards, was
in Lincoln looking after the company's
yards at Durham. incidentally Mr..
Erickson was in the market for hay,
and hay he fourd to be a scarce ar
ticle. One shipment was found at
Archer, Neb.. but it was a small one.
1t was said that there was not to ex-
coed sixty tons for the market at Hay
Point and ONeill. The northwest hay
country has been robbed of its sur
plus.
The new crop of alfalfa will soon be
on the market, as cutting will soon be
started, but in the meantime hay will
be at premium. Railroad traffic men
have lately been securing the country
for hay and have found very little of
it at any point. It is explained by
them that the late range in the north
west caused ranchmen to use a great
deal more than they ordinarily do. and
that this cut the supply short. The
range was from two weeks to one
month late in many places northwest
and there the feeding had to be con
tinued longer.
When customers want a special ar
ticle and can find 1t no other way they
so to railroad traffic men for informa.
ton as to where 1t can be bought.
Then the railroad men begin a search
of the markets. If they find the ar
ticle wanted 1t means a shipment for
their road. Because of that fact they
hustle diligently to find it.
During the fruit season traffic men
make up long lists of shippers and
buyers and in many instances are sue.
cessful In getting shippers and buyers
together. The idea is to get shippers
on the line OF road interested to deal
with buyers on the same line, thus Civ.
ing the business to the road finding
the business.
