Salem Man
Is Missing
FOurDayS
George W. SkeeIS Last Seen
Sunday Afternoon about 4
O'ClOCk--May Have Become
Suddenly Deranged

Geo. w, Skeels, for the past eight
years employed by the Spaulding Log
ging company in the capacity of su.
perintendent of construction, is mis-.
sing and his whereabouts is being dill.
igently sought for by both his rela-
lives and host Of friends in Salem
Mr. Skeels was last seen o'clock
last Sunday afternoon by friends on
High street between State and Court
AT that time he wore a Derby hat
brown suit and no overcoat Neither
friends nor relatives have seen him
since and his father, wife aud two
children are frantic over his sudden
and mysterious disappearance
What occasioned Mr.. Skeels' unex-
pected disappearance is unknown to
his family Relatives state however,
that for months past the missing man
has been much overworked and it is
hinted that this might have been the
cause for him leaving, but where he
would go to cannot be even imagined.
Some Suspect Foul Play.
The Skeels family resides at 1855 N.
Summer street. Mr.. Skeels has been
in Salem about eight years and during
that time has been employed by the
Spaulding Logging company where his
work has been very satisfactory and
he has made many friends with both
members of the firm and other em-
ployes. He has a wife and two child
rem, who are grief stricken over the
sudden disappearance of their hus-
band and father. He was not a drink
ing man and was known to be very in
dustrious, That he may have been the
victim of foul play is not believed by
his relatives who declare he had no
enemies as far as they knew and his
acquaintance with every one in Salem
was most friendly. The only reason
that can be given for his leaving Is
that his mind may have been deranged
from overwork. Others, however,
strongly suspect that he has been
foully dealt with.
The missing man is "a years old,
weight 1855 pounds, light complexion,
blue eyes and dark hair, somewhat
streaked with grey. Although Mr..
Skeels has been missing for four days
now, his father would not consent to
give the matter publicity until to-
day. The police authorities have been
notified and a vigorous search will be
made for the missing man.
Is Second Disappearance.
The disappearance of Skeels is the
second from the Spaulding Logging
20, in the last four months. In August
f. b. Butts, an employe in the mill
disappeared, and has not been heard
OF since He was last seen in boat
on the Willamette river, and for time
1t was feared that he had been
drowned. Later developments seemed
to indicate that he had eloped with
woman, whose acquaintance he had
made some time previous to his disap-
pearance, but this is not known.

It is rumored in Topeka that the

some time ago that the Rock Island in

10 Scranton should its efforts to pur-
chase the Scranton, SubiacO and East
er.n prove successful. The sale and eX-
tension were conditional, it was said at
that time. upon the proposed lease Of
the Ola and DardaneIle road, which
connects these two cities with the Rock
Island main line at the former city. The
stockholders of the Rock Island at
meeting held in Chicago ratified this
lease. In case the Rock Island extends
from Dardenelle to Scranton and pur-
chases the Scranton, SubiacO and East
ern il intends, it has developed, to
enter Fort Smith over the Arkansas
Central, which connects Fort smith
with Paris, the western terminus of the
Scranton, Subiaco and Eastern line.
From Fort Smith. Ark. comes the
report that commencing Monday active
construction work will begin on the

to be built rom WilbCrton. Ok, to

AUGUST EARNINGS WE'RE LARGE.
Best Showing on Railroads of Country
Since October. 1909.

The monthly summary of the revenues
and expenses of the railroads made by
the bureau of railway economies from the
reports filed by the railways with, the in
terState commerce commission shows int
net earnings for August of this year were
larger than for any preceding August and
larger than for any preceding month with
the exception of October. 1909.
The net operating revenue for the 220. 4o5
miles Of line included in this summary,
amounted to $9i, 402, 972. which is greater
nue. for August, 1911. This is an average
of S437.33 per mile of line for the month,
which Is greater by 1888 than the average
per mile Of line for the month of August,
LII. This net operating revenue for each
mile of line for each day in August, 1912,
averaged S14.11, and for August. 1911. 80. ~.
As net operating revenue is the gross ir-
come from which, must be paid taxes,
rentals interest on bonds. appropriation
that the average the operation of each
mile OF line for each day during August
produced only $1.4 more for these puz-
poses than during August of last year.
The railways were bitterly complaint e
wear ago that their expenditures for
taxes. labor, and supplies We're not leav-
ing them enough margin with which to
make needed betterments and attract the
capital necessary for extensions in tn cir
track and the additions to their cars and
locomotives requisite TO the handling of
the growing traffic Of the country 1t
would seem. inasrnuch as their expendi-
lures are still on the upgrade, that the
record breaking traffic of the present
simply puts little more cash in tn cir
pockets for immediate needs, and leaves
their pressing problems still unsolved.
