'LUNDERNEN ARE TO
keep MILLS CLOSED
Decision In Pacific Northwest
Practically Unanimous,
Seattle Reports

Seattle, Wash, Aug. 24.-Announce-
ment was made by the organized lum-
Der manufacturers of continued and
practically unanimous shutdown of all
the Pacific northwest lumber mills and
logging camps for at least four months,
or until after the beginning of 1918.
Officials of the West Coast Lumber
mems association made the following
statement yesterday.
"The decision to keep the lumber
mills and logging camps closed during
the remainder of 1917 is not the result
of concerted action, but is a practically
unanimous statement of intention in
the individual reports made to the as
sociation.
Nor has the strike any connection
whatever with this decision. 1t is pure
ly due to a heavy slump in the market.
Shingle Mills Continue
"The decision does not apply to the
shingle mills, which will continue oper-
alton.
~. Harry Covington, federal Judge
of the District of Columbia, sent here
as President Wilson s personal investi-
gator of the lumber situation, is in the
state and was in conference with Gov
ernor Lister Wednesday. Thus far he
has not requested conference with
any of the lumber operators. We shall
be glad to meet him at his request and
aid his work in any way possible. -

Women Have a Big Part
In War Emergency

One part of the emergency food bill
just passed by congress provides that
a limited number of women shall be APP
pointed as leaders to assist in the con-
servation and educational campaign in
their respective states.
The extension service of the Oregon
agricultural college through this pro-
vision in the bill will introduce at once
seven young women to assist in this
work with women in the state of Ore
gon.
Marion and Clackamas counties are
to have one of these assistants. Miss
Lorene Parker, graduate Of 0. A. @.
will be the home demonstration agent
in this section. Miss Parker will have
permanent headquarters at Salem. She
will be ready to assist women in every
possible way in the conservation work
and wishes to get in touch with the
women 5 organizations at once.
While in Clackamas county, Miss
Parker will have temporary headquar-
ters at Oregon City.
Every woman in this territory should
join in one effort to show what the
women of these counties can do to help
win the war by conserving at home.
Every woman should take advantage
of this opportunity for leadership and
assistance provided by the government
and the state, to help in carrying out
the work already started. Watch this
paper for further notice of county meet
ings and be ready to respond to the
call

Douglas Fruit Inspector
Comes to Local Concern

BY presentation of his resignation to
the county court, County Fruit Inspec-
tor F. L. Strang, for the past two and
one half years incumbent of that Of.
flee, made known today his intention
of leaving for Washington, where he
has accepted position as field mana
ger for the Wittcnberg King & Co.,
manufacturers of processed fruits and
by-products.
According to his statsment to mem
bers of the court, Mr.. Strang will leave
for North Yakima, Wash, week from
Saturday. His new position will give
him an advanced salary and place him
in charge Of the. fruit and vegetable
buying for all the district between
North Yakima and Spokane. He will
have his headquarters at North Yaki-
Ina.
The Wittenburg King & Co. is one
of the largest concerns dealing in pro-
cessed fruits in the entire northwest.
and already has several plants in oper-
alton including one at The Dalles and
one at Salem. On account of the de-
mand for such products because of the
war and the desire to prevent waste
through utilization of material hereto
fore considered of no value, a large
business has been built up and the re-
sources of the concern are now valued
at more than $1,000, ,0OO The expansion
has already resulted in the demand for
experienced fruit meE, and Mr.. Strang
is one of those whose specialization in
the Judgment of marketable fruits has
brought about his selection for such
an important position. Mr.. Strang has
rendered great assistance to the fruit
growers in this county and it is prac-
tically the unanimous opinion that the
efficiency of his work will be hard 10
equal. 1t is also understood that in ad-
dition to assisting in the buying for
his employers he will act as field ad-
visor and thus aid in caring for the
crops before reaching maturity.-Rose-

Coroner Holds Crime
Has Been Committed
Fails to Clear Bradley

Fred Moore "came to his death on
the 22nd day of August, 1917, by the
hand of A. e. Bradley by means of a
shotgun loaded with powder and buck
shot and crime has been committed
by said A. E. Bradley about two miles
south of Turner" was the verdict of
the coroner's jury yesterday afternoon
to determine the responsibility for the
shooting that took place late WednNi-
day south of Turner on the farm run
by A. e. Bradley.
The jury required only fifteen min
utes to come to conclusion. The jury
was composed of neighbors of the two
men and were familiar with the situa-
tion.
1t was brought out at the inquest
that last winter Moore loaded the shells
with which he was shot Wednesday
night. The shells were loaded for
hunting geese. Bradley admitted that
in addition to carrying the shotgun lie
had As caliber pistol on his person
at the time of the shooting. The story
he told yesterday afternoon was prac-
tically the same as he told the author
tiles when he gave himself up.

'SWEARS OUT Warrant
FOR HUSBANDS ARREST
Constable Vanley Locates
Man and Goes to California
After Him

Within four hours after the warrant
was sworn out against George Faber
Constable Percy M. Varney had located
his man who had left this county nine
years ago and whose whereabouts wa,
uncertain.
Mrs. Caroline Faber of st. Paul
proprietor of the st. Paul City Hotel,
came to Salem yesterday and swore out
a warrant for her husband George
Faber on the grounds of non-support
She claims that he left her October 5,
1905, and she has not seen him since.
They had been married five years and
have three children.
Some time ago Mrs. Faber heard that
her husband was travelling around
somewhere in Oregon or California in
a 1916 Maxwell, with a South Dakota
license. With this information she
swore out warrant at 4 clock yes
terday afternoon and by s O'Clock in
the evening, Constable Varney had his
man located at Dunsmuir, Cal, and
shortly after had him under arrest and
in Jail.
According to Mrs. Faber, who has
been making a living for herself and
three children at st. Paul, there is
another woman in the case and if this
happens to be true, there will be other
charges besides non-support.
Constable Varney will leave this
evening on the 1898 Southern Pacific
for Dunsmuir to get his man.

ported.
Officers on one liner declared their
ship put a submarine to flight on the
outward voyage to England without
firing shot. The undersea raider
was sighted 600 YARDS to starboard.
The liner whirled and attempted to
ram it. Submerging, the submarine
passed under the steamer and reap
peared off its stern. Then it dived
and disappeared. A patrol boat later
reported another ship sunk near the
same spot a few hours later.
Passengers on another big American
liner told Of an encounter in which
that ship, on its outward voyage cx-
changed eighty five shots with the,
German, lodged two torpedoes and
escaped. Sailors of the tanker Navajo,
burned at sea whcn an oil pipe burst,
declared they fought and sank sub

SilvertOn May Secure
Another Railroad Line

Southern Pacific officials visited Sill
verton this week, evidently looking
over the advisability of extending
their railroad line, now operating from
Candy to Molalla, on to Silverton.
This action if taken will no doubt be
due to the fact that the Willamette
Valley Southern is preparing to build
at once from Mount Angel to Silverton,
and the Southern Pacific fears the loss
of much of the large lumber shipping
business at the latter point as a con-
sequence.
What decision the officials have
reached in regard to the extension is
not known, since none of them would
give out any information.
