30-Day Shutdown

This morning practically every

ed operations after a shutdown of
80 days. All local mills began work
this morning, and today hundreds of
working men who had been laid off
during the short period are again
working.
Demoralized price conditions were
given as a reason for the sAdtdown.
and it is claimed by leadin, .anufac-
turers and jobbers that the cessation
of cutting in measure broug..t about
better conditions. 1t was regarded as
the most successful attempt in the
shingle mill history of the state to
reduce the output and at the same
time help to stiffen prices.
The output was curtailed about g..
900 cars by the shutdown, and only
400 cars are on the Minnesota trans
fer awaiting delivery to buyers Ordi-
narily 1000 cars would be regarded as
large number of cars to be congest-

Brass Band to Play Martial
Airs When Greeks
Leave City

With the Hoquiam.Aberdeen band
engaged to accompany them to the
station, strains of patriotic marches
will bid farewell to at least 40 Greeks
who leave Grays Harbor Saturday,
October 2, for their native land to en-
gage in the relentless war with Tur-
key. They have been asked to go and
they will respond to the call loyalty.
The farewell program which will
mark their departure of a large num-
Der of Greek residents of Grays Har-
Dor, will be most interesting, as moth.
ing which will lend attraction to their
leave-taking has been overlooked.
From now until the date of their de-
parture, the patriotic national airs of
Greece will keep the musicians busy,
for when the small band of patriots
leave the Aberdeen station for New
York they want to 60 in real style,
with music to stir the enthusiasm.
Forty and probably SO Greeks will
leave Saturday. They are what is
comprise of natives of Greece who
have served two years and who are
relieved of army responsibility after
their parents of property owners in
Greece furnish sufficient bond for their
return in case of call. Should these
men whose bonds for their reappear-
ance were furnished by property OWL
ers. refuse to return before December
80, the bondsmen's property will be
e'zed by the government.
Owing to the financial condition of
the Greek government at present. it
is impossible for it to pay the rail
road and steamship fare for Greeks
returning to their home. In New
York an association known as the Pan
Hellenic league, and composed of re-
turned Greek merchants are furnish
ing funds to aid in paying passage for
Greeks to their native country.

CAR SHORTAGE
EMBARRASSING
Lumbermen Make Complaints
Ne :essary Tonnage PROM
ised After December /

SEATTLE, Oct. 27.-Continued car
shortage, while causing much embar
rassment to luml ermen, comes at an
cpportune time, il it must come, as
stated by dealers yesterday in sum-
ming up the present lumber move
menr, since it is between seasons and
the stringency can be better borne
at this time than at any other
The shortage is more pronounced
on Canadian lines than any other, it
was stated, although there has been
difficulty in securing prompt filling
of car orders on American transcon-
tinental lines. Cooperating under
any other conditions than general
pressure for cars, the big lines could
send re-inforcements. The demand
for traffic of both crops and lumber,
however, has compelled each line to
look out for itself.
Off-shore charters are getting cas-
ier, much of the heavy overseas traf-
fic having already been carried, and
lumbermen hope to be able to secure
all necessary tonnage after Decem-
ber 1st.
Eastern retailers are still expect
ing the market to break. This i'm
preston reaches them through quo
tations of some of the larger free Ian
GERS, who name so cents off the rul-
ing prices. This course by the So
called independents has failed as Man.
ufacturers and dealers explain this
situation in the statement that line
yard operators in the Middle West
and East will not buy excepting on
a shoestring basis, unless the market
is rising.
Dealers who advocate higher,
steadier market take comfort In the
belief that logs will advance at least
$1.OO before the spring lumber-buy-
ing season begins, and that this of
itself will help stiffen conditions and
increase the volume of orders.

ABERDEEN LOSES
TO QUEEN ANNE
Locals Meet Disastrous De-
feat at Hands Of Fast
Seattle Aggregation
OUTPLAYED BY VICTORS
Five fouchdowns Are Made
Through Good Plays -
Score 81 to 0

For the first time this season, the
Aberdeen football team, an aggrega.
ton scheduled to be one of the main
factors in the fight for the state high
school championship pennant, has
met defeat. The crash which shat
tered all hope of the admirers of the
local eleven, came Saturday whty1
the fast Queen Ann team met and
defeated the local boys by a score of
80 to 0.
The result of Saturdays game was
heavy blow for Aberdeen, but the
sportsmen. They were outclassed
and outplayed in every department
Of the game, and the result, accord
ing to Coach Bell, was by no means
a surprise.
Queen Ann, from the beginning of
the first quarter played a heady,
steady football, yet the score would
not have been quite so strong in fav-
or of the visitors, had not a few re-
markably lucky plays come their way.
The visitors received the ball on
the kickoff and after several attempts
to advance 1t by straight line bucks,
kicked to safety. Aberdeen seemed
to experience the same difficulty and
punted back 1t was then that the
visitors blocked the punt and on Sc
curing the ball, broke through the
Aberdeen line for a touchdown. A
few minutes later a clever forward
pass netted the Seattle boys 40 yards
and another touchdown. The close
few minutes of play of the first half
saw Aberdeen take q mighty brace
and for few minutes played the Wis
itors OF their feet. They rushed the
ball to Queen AIMS 10 yard line by
straight bucking and end runs, but
here they found q stone wall. Steele
fumbled and Queen Ann secured the
ball. Time was called with the ball
In Queen AIMS possession on her
2O-yard line.
In the third quarter, everything
was for the visitors. They pushed
over a touchdown after only a few
minutes play. Straight bucking and
forward passes few thick and when
the smoke cleared away two more
touchdowns were scored by Seattle.
Perhaps the most sensational play
of the game was made when Steele
of Aberdeen, received the ball on the
kick-off and ran 70 yards through the
entire Queen Ann team, but was pull
ed down by a Queen Ann player with
in five yards of scoring. Aberdeen
could not put the ball over, however,
and Queen Anne kicked out of dan
ger.
