CUT TIES AND
T|MBERS
NEW SAWMILL TO BE BUILT
NEAR FORT HoSKINS.
Falls City Lumber Company Trans
porting Machinery to Cut Ties and
Bridge Timbers for Siletz Railway.

Machinery for the installation of a
small sawmill near Fort Hoskins, on
the Polk-Benton county line, is now
being transported overland by the
Falls City Lumber company. The
company owns several million feet OF
timber in that locality, but the mill
which is now to be erected, will be for
the purpose of cutting ties and bridge
timbers for the new Siletz Valley
railway, which has been surveyed
from Independence through the south
ern part of Polk county. The mill
will be located on the survey of the
proposed line and the company's
activity in moving in the machinery
and their announced intention of hav-
ing the mill in operation as soon as
possible, Is the first indication of the
early commencement of construction
work on the new road.
Practically all Of the right of way
has been secured through Polk county
and deeds for the most Of It have
passed and are now of record. Wheth-
er or not the road will build through
10 the coast Is an open question but
IL is certain that it will be construct
ed into the immense timber holdings
Of the Cobb-M Mitchell tract and the
timber will be manufactured into lum-
Der al the new mill which the COM
pany announces that It will build at
Independence.

SEEKS LARGE SUM
FROM FOUNDRY
ADJUSTABLE SOCKET co. ASKS
$17,964 FROM SALEM CONCERN.
Alleges Failure to Fulfill Contract
Which Prevents Operation of Fac
tory; Action is Counter Claim.

Demanding judgment i'll the tota
sum of $17, ,964.40 for failure to fulfil
the terms of a certain alleged con
tract, the Adjustable Electric Socket
company, of Dallas, has begun an ac-
ton against the Salem Iron Works
in department No. l, Of the Polk
County Circuit court, according. tc
papers filed with County Clerk Rob
insOn yesterday.
The papers are filed. as a counter
claim against a previous action of the
Salem company, instituted against
the Dallas concern, which sought to
collect payment for a certain stamp
ing press ordered from the Salem Iron
Works.
In the answer fled by the Electric
company it is alleged that the Salem
Iron WoSks has failed to live up to
its part Of the contract and to make
delivery of machine as agreed, and
that thereby the company has suffer-
ed a great loss by reason Of not being
able to manufacture its product.
Officials Of the Electric Socket com
pany declare that the Salem Iron
Works failed in every particular to
carry ont the contract. That while it
was represented that the machine
which the Iron Works agreed to fur
nish, would do the work required Of
it, several tests which have been made
have been unsatisfactory and that it
was found that the machine was
worthless for the purpose required.
Subsequently the Salem company is
sued am attachment against the Flee
tric Socket company, which was af-
terward dissolved, but the claim is
still pending.
The company further states that it
has been ready and anxious to begin
the manufacture Of its nat-irons since
the first day of January, but that the
failure of the Salem Iron Works to
make prompt delivery of a satisfac-
tory machine has resulted in much
delay and the loss of profits.
Abel & Burnett, of Portland; Wal
ter l.. Tooze, Jr., and Oscar Hayter,
of Dallas. appear for the Socket com
pany i'm the above action.
Arrangements have been completed
with a Connecticut concern 10 furnish
the Electric Socket companv with a
supply Of the tops for its nat-iron,
but delivery cannot be made for
nearly three months and it is not ex-
pected that actual manufacture can
begin before August !.
