YAQUlNA SPRUCE
RAILROAD is SOLD
EARLY OPERATIONS PLANNED

Purchase OF the Yaquna Northern
railroad extending from a connection
with the Southern Pacific line-at va.
quina, Lincoln County, II miles north,
through the city limits of Newport
and to Agate Beach, with an addi-
tional two miles north upon which
no steel is laid, was completed yes
terday by the Multnomah Lumber &
Box Company Of Portland, from the
United States Spruce Corporation, for
price Of 100000
Negotiations had been under way
for several months and the deal has
the approval of the Secretary OF War;
The purchase was completed in all
save minor details last month
Cost to the spruce division of the
United States army in building the
line was $1,271,5O6 and the spruce
forest 1t enters is declared to be the
largest remaining in the United
States and aggregates from 3OOO,-
100000 to 5.OOO,OOO,OOO feet board
measure.
There are complete engine housing,
fuel oil and water facilities, log dumps
and booming grounds and the pur-
chase includes small sawmill at
Otter Rock which was built to cut
ties for the railroad.
1t is said only one other large body
OF spruce now available exists west of
the coast mountains in the United
States-that on the Olympic peninsula
in Washington, and it is not nearly
so accessible as the Siletz spruce. The
latter tract is so per cent spruce, an
unusually high percentage, the re-
mainder Of the trees being fir, cedar
and hemlock, all Of which ultimately
will be logged off and milled by the
purchasing company.
Plans of +. A. Douty, president and
general manager Of the Multnomah
Lumber & Box Company, are to begin
almost immediate operation IN cutting
the spruce timber reached by the
newly-acquired line, as that concern,
already owns much timber IN that
section and no further purchases are
contemplated.
Approximately 25O,OOO,OOO feet Of
timber, board measure is at once
made available by the line for opera
tion and short logging roads OF tenn
porary construction will make avail
able almost Immediately 100000 900
feet additional. Unproductive portions
Of the line have been completed al
ready and further extension will be
into the heart of fine timber.
From the northern end of the line.
an extension is planned for a later
date to the head of tidewater on the
SiletZ river.
The bulk OF the spruce timber
opened up by the line will be cut at
lIle MultHOludn HILL Ill fOTtlanC.
Logs will be hauled to the Yaquina
connection with the Southern Pacific
and over the latter line to this city.
1t is estimated that the timber al
ready owned in he Siletz basin,
available for bringing over this rail-
road and other timber for which the
line Is the sole outlet, will give the
Multnomah company an ample spruce
supply for the next 80 years and will
enable the plant to continue as one
of the largest, If not the largest, ex-
elusive spruce manufacturing plants
on the Pacific coast. During the war
the Multnomah company cut and
shipped more than S,500,00O feet of
sprure airplane stock in Is months,
larger than the quantity shipped by
any other mill

TO WHOM THIS MAY CONCERN

For the purpose of informing some
of the people Of the real meaning of
Optometrist, Optician and Oculist,
/ beg to make the following 'explana-
ton: An Oculist is one who has spec
ialized in diseases of the eye, ear,
nose and throat, and performs OPP
erations. An Optician is one who
has specialized in grinding lenses to
any certain prescription which is
usually prescribed by an Optometrist.
An Optometrist is specialist in ex-
aminations of the eye, for retroactive
errors, such as presbyopia (aged con-
dition) hypermetropia, hyopia, es-
ophoria, exophoria, etc.
Most physicians and nurses, when
they find that any of their patients
are suffering with eye trouble, will
say: go to a specialist in Flint, or
some other city, and get some
glasses" A person could not live
in any small village and be a spec
| ialist, but if such person should move
and locate his office in Flint, he would
then be a Specialist. How strange
it seems that any person would gain
so much knowledge in just the
length it time it would require to
move from a small village to city.
Now, after you have been to the City
Specialist and bought your glasses,
and in time they get out Of align
ment, and in this condition they are
nearly worthless, the screws are more
or less loose, the bows or temples are
bent, who trues them and tightens the
screws. The man is the little village

lenses or bows, but outside Of this
take your glasses to the place where
you purchased them; your great Spec
ialist is no better to take care Of the

The City Specialist perhaps will

Luncharsky, former minister of education, Maxim Lityinoff, assistant cominisar of for officials on July at the headquarters of the Moscow soviet, They agreed the famine was a much greater mat ter than politics, the Rosta agency de clares.

 decree has been issued creating a central commission for famine re- lief, headed by NJ. Kalinin, member of the soviet central committee, the Rosta agency says It includes the heads of many government depart ments. but no communists are mem bers. The anti -bolshevik elements, however, are expected to aid this comm ssion.
 Unless seed grain is furnished inn mediately the winter crop of the Voiga provinces will also be a failure, the agency states.
 M. Kalanin, according to the agency, will go to the Volga district to superintend the famine relief work. The entire personnel of the famine relief commission which num- bers several hundred, has been or dered mobilized for famine relief and food and tax collection work.
 Letvian, Lithuanian and Polish citizens in Russia who hitherto have been repatriated in orderly manner, no longer await the formation of regular groups but instead are en- deavoring to escape from Russia at their own risk, says the Riga Rund- schau. Refugees frantic from the spread of hunger and cholera are es- caping from Moscow in such mum bers that no regulations can master the situation, the newspapers assert.
