"Now I have not the sllahtest Intention of being su perseded, but you see with advancing years I have to conserve raj energies a little." w hitched over hia shoulder a bun dle loaded with missives from Portland children, which he had caught as he winged his way In the rain over the roof tope.

It almost escaped. Put not quite. "Just as I thought." he continued. -What do you think of this?

WARRENTON MILL IS SOLD Oregon and Minnesota Interests Ac quire Plant Several Years Old. ASTORIA, Or., Dec. 15. (Special.) The sawmill property at Warrenton that was owned by the old Oregon Mills of Seattle, has been purchased by Edmund P. Smiley, of Warrenton, and Jacob Lampert, a wealthy lumber man of Minneapolis, Minn., the consid eration named in the deed being J9000. This mill was built some years ago by a company composed of Warrenton and Astoria people at a cost of about $60, 000. Later it became involved financial ly and was sold under a mortgage fore closure to the Astoria National Bank, which in turn sold it to the old Ore gon Mills. The plant has not been op erated for two or three years on ac count of the unfavorable condition of the lumber market. Mr. Smiley is in Seattle at present, so no statement re cardinK the plana of the new owners could be secured, but it Is believed that arrangements will 6e made for operating the plant in the near future.

Old-Time Mechanics Complain to ' Executive Board That Union Men Jeer at Them and Follow Them Home at Night. Declaring that strikers at the Harri man shops In Alblna are abusing me chanics who have refused to strike, and that unless troubles which have beep growing worse in the last few weeks are checked bad riots will fol low, 14 non-strikers appealed to the Executive Board yesterday for police protection. Attorney A. C, Spencer, of the O.-W. R. & X., headed the committee of work men, and declared that appeals to the police department have been of little or no avail In preventing trouble. He said there is a wild scene every night when the workmen leave the Alblna yards, the strikers jeering the workmen, at tacking them and following them to their homes. Following Mr. Spencer's appeal other committeemen told of re cent troubles which the police had not attempted to check. Old Mechanic Complains. "I have worked for the Harriman company for 11 years," said Sol Strom berg, a mechanic, "and when the strike was declared I did not go out. I am an old man and have a family. I have home which is not paid for, and I could not afford to strike. Every night when I pass through the company's yard gates I am aurrounded by strikers who Jeer me, shove me about and abuse me. As I proceed up the street as many as 1&0 of them have upon several occa sions followed me home and stood out side Jeering." A. J. Clark, who said he had worked for the company in the Portland shops for 2& years, declared he had to have policemen take him home at night. He said there was always 100 or more strikers at the gates to abuse him when he quit work at night. Similar experi ences were related by a number of others, who said they have been work ing for the company for periods rang ing from six to 25 years, and could not afford to strike when the walkout was ordered.
