flea in point of biting capacity and
general eagerness of disposition leaves
no room for complaint that its devel'

can start in the morning on the heel
of six.foot man aud bring up before
noon on the other heel, having tortured
in the interim both shoulders and the
back of tae man s neck, is some flea.
The flea is not without its good

CLOSE SHERIDAN MILL

Portland. Ore, Sept. 2.-Willamette
Valley Lumber manufacturers are pre-
pairing to bring civil suits for damages
in the federal courts against the South
ern Pacific railroad over alleged busi-
ness losses due to the ear shortage.
j. n. Teal, attorney for the lumber
men. has been asked to start proceed
ings, and it is probable that action will
be instituted early next week. Mr..
Teal left last night on business visit
to Coos Bay and is expected to file suit
upon his return.
Mr.. Teal said last night, "we are not
courting trouble with our friends, the
Southern Pacific. What we want is
cars. The car shortage is growing
more serious every day, and some mills
are suffering extensively" Lumbermen
at almost every point in the valley
are complaining at the inability or
failure of the Southern Pacific to sup
ply them with ears.
J. S. Bracker, manager of the Sheri-
dan Lumber eompany's mill at Sheri-
dan, Ore, was in Portland yesterday,
and reported that his property will be
forced to close today, and for the sole
reason that he can't get the cars to
move his lumber.

The company has an immense stock
of lumber on hand and all available
space is filled with lumber ready for

pany employs 100 men, all of whom
