Mill City, Or, June 15-Moving day,

rapidly approaching the little lumber
ing town of Gooch three miles west of
this city on the Linn county side Of the
Santiam. The mill, which has been
constantly operated at that place for
several years. has been shut down ana
the camps have suspended operations.
The planer is finishing a small pile of

ing to statement of w. ]. Bertrum,
manager of the enterprise the machin-
cry will be moved to some other loca-
ton. just where that will be is not
known. Negotiations are now pend
ing. said Mr.. Bertrum, and within 30
days we will know just what DISPOSE
tion will be made of the mill There
are two or three prospects in view, he
said, but am not prepared to say at
this time which one will be accepted
1t is certain, however, that the mill
will be moved. Mr.. Bertrum has been
in charge Of the property for the past
two and one-half years, and the busi-
ness has been conducted with a great
degree of success. Between fifty and
sixty men have been given employ
ment in the mill and camps The re-
moval of the mill is made necessary by
reason of the fact that the timber has
been cut off and manufactured into
lumber.
Gooch has one store at the present
time and in this is the postoffice main.

mill people. The store is operated by
C. f. Phillips, who is also postmaster
Mr.. Phillips said the store would go
out when the mill goes, and the post
office will likely be discontinued. He
has made no arrangements or plans
about moving. and will not until the

tion. But it seems certain that the lit

Logging Camps
!. At Mehama To
Close For Time

Aehama. Or, June 15.-Operations
in the Silverton Lumber company log
ging camps near here will be suspend-
ed the latter part Of this week until
some time next month. Some OF the
men went out of camp yesterday. In

Day hopes to be ready for operation

went out yesterday, to be ready for
work at that time il they are called.
On account of the car shortage the
mill at Silverton Is not running, and
unless there is relies in this respect n
may be that the min and camps win
be idle through most of July.

day and has opened an office in the |
i. o. o. F. building, which will be his |
headquarters for several months pend
ing the completion of the new steel |
bridge across the Santiam river. Work
of building the bride piers has already

high water in the river.

When the bridge construction work
reaches a point where traffic over the

cult to find crossing place. The
banks are very high at this point and
the problem seems to be worrying the

many crooked, fOrked and diseased
trees WHICH should be replaced by
straight, sound ones. Soon after a
cutting trees show an increased growth
and the whole woodland rapidly in

With an active market for cordwood
and for fence posts, poles and lumber.
there is every inducement to clear out
the inferior trees-diseased, dying,
crooked and less valuable kinds. Righ'

be done only at time of favorable

CONTROL OF SOIL DISEASES
Next % Seed Treatment Rotation ID
Best Way TO Destroy wiz and
Rot Spores.

With the possible exception of seed
treatment, there Is no farm practice,
which, from the plant disease point Of
view, gives greater returns on the in.
vsstment than crop rotstion, is the
assertion Of Prof. J. G. Leach Of the
Colorado Agricultural college. There
are a great many plant diseases such
as willis and root rots for which no
specific remedy is known and which
can be held in check only by the COM
bined practices of seed selection. seed
treatment, and crop rotation. These
diseases become worse and worse each
year the crop is grown In the same
soil, and each one taking their annual
toll accounts for considerable loss to
the farmer.
A system of crop rotation entails al.
most no expense other than a little
forethought and planning. The re.
turns in disease-free crops pay for
this trouble many times over, not to
speak Of the added gain In soil fer
tility.

Macon, veteran marriage commits
sioner. who has specialized for
some years in marrying divorced
sons, has produced an unusual
situation here. Several times this

to marry them.
Yesterday young man, after
calling on several ministers in vain,
sought out the Rev. J. j. Scherer.
of the First English Luther an
Church and a brother of the late
Luther Scherer, famed as a dctec-
tive in the Beattie murder case.
Locating DR.. Scherer in the State
Capitol just after he had offered
the morning invocation in the Sem
ate, the young man implored that
clergyman to marry him to a Rich
mond girl. When he frankly admit
ted his first wife had divorced him
on statutory grounds, DIR. SCherer
promptly balked and told him to
try someone else.

ERZBERGER UP :
FOR OLD POST
Industries Bring Pressure to
Bear on Ebert for His
Reappointment.

Berlin, Feb. 29.-Belief prevails
in some quarters here that Matthias
Erzberger. whose resignation as
minister of finance has been accept
ed by President Ebert, may, in the
near future. be restored to his post,
at least temporarily.
Ehzberger's suspension s
brought about a near crisis in the
government. giving it's enemies op-
uortunity to start work to over
throw the cabinet. Big industrial
concerns also have brought pressure
for the finance minister's restora-
tion.
Ebert relieved Erzberger last week.
after charges had been brought de-
.cIaring the finance minister
evaded payment of personal taxes.
Erzberger had been under fire for
sometime, newspapers accusing him
of using his government post for
private gain. The agitation resulted
in Erzberger bringing suit against
DIR. Karl Helfferich, alleging Helt-
ferich libeled him. The revelations
at this trial only served to place
Erzberger in greater disrepute.
