A I 4THREE' .Vi-T- REIGHT RATE IS RUINOUS galley Lumber Busi ness Is Utterly Paralyzed )oth-Kelley Company Has LostHeavjly and Many Smaller Cohceras Suffer The Eugene Register of January 13d says: Tho Booth-Kelly company, Fn institution that Inaugurated ono 51 tho blggeflt lumber IndUBtrios of io West with Bugcn.6 as hcadquar- tire and having established such an ractanslvo mark$t that all their mills rcro kept running on full time with 'dally capacity of about 500,000 feet euploying over 1000 men and turning 3so an annual pay-roll of ono mil- ion dollars, has been forced to so reduce tho output of Itynbor that, In tend of live mills running thero will, from now on, be but two, Springfield pSnd Coburg, and Coburg's output will (ho cut off ono-half by stopping tho Ight work, tho mill only bolng run luring tho day. EThu troubles of this company first Dgun enrfy last fall, when tho car kortago mado their shipments so un srtnln that buyers who dopended on iem for their supply woro forced to pk olsowhero for tholr stock. The th-Kelly company shipments of lumber dwln'dlod from 1000 cars a month' to about 200 In consequence, andthe Saginaw nhd Wendllng mills woro forced to shut down and will no doubt remain so for Bomo time to conre. This condition was bad enough, but tho now freight rato from Oregon to California points, which went Into ef fect January 1, raising tho tariff on lumber from $3.10 to $5 a ton, was tho last straw that broke the camel's back, and cornea as near annihilating tho Booth-Kelly company as It were posalblo to do, and Is little short of disaster for them. Tho ralso is a dis crimination against Oregon In favor of California, and will put many In land mills clear out of business. In an interview yesterday Mr. Booth said tho now advanced freight ratb would cui their output in half, and that tho Wendllng mill will re main silent. The causo of discrimin ation Mr. Booth did not care to dis cuss. Shippers' Troubles.

The club has gathored a largo amount of In formation rolatlvo to tho car shortage that has prevailed for tho last three months and tho advance In freight rates that goes Into effect on January 19. Tho club has Icttors from ware housemen, flouring mills produco shlppors and sawmills, showing car shortago losses Buffered by Individual shlppors, ranging from JG0 to many thousands, and In somo cases com plete suspension of Industries. A letter recolved by tho club Sat urday shows that ono largo flouring mill has gono Into tho hnnds of a re- coivor. This mill got practlcnlly no cars for flour shipments to Portland for a porlod of threo months. At ono point In tho Willamette valloy 1000 tons of hay woro held two months for want of cars. This hay was purchas ed for tho Portland market and n largo firm lost Its city contracts for falluro to'dollvor. In tho meantime tho warohouso holding tho hay burned down and a number of farmers and dcalors aro bankrupt. Lumber Rates. Tho now lumber rntes nro almost prohibitive on interior sawmills, im posing a dlfforonco against Interior mills on rail shipments to San Fran else of 4.33 per 100 foot, and 12.08 por 1000 foot dlfforonco to shipments to Sncramonto. Tho club has ro colved lottore within a fow days show ing that logging camps nro being shut down all over tho Intorlor of Western Orogon. Tho output of sawmills Is falling off, somo of thorn bolng Bhut down ontlrely and others only running half tlmo. Unloss tho rates can bo changed many largo sawmills in West orn Orogon will bo boused up nnd go out of business. Merchants at saw mill towns aro already feeling tho of-. feet of tho falling off of trndo and this will be forcibly Improsscd on the job bers at Portland In tho near future, especially those handling grocorlss, machlnory, hardware, etc. The gen eral traffic of the railroads In this class of business Is also falling off. The Salem Commercial club Is wise ly refusing to make public tho names of a single shipper and thus protect ing tho business men ngnlnst any fit turo recrimination. They hope to placo tho facts which they havo gath ored before somo traffic manager who has sufficient authority to remedy the oylls which are threatening Western Oregon industries. Members of the Multnomah delega tion informed tho legislature when t was In special session that managers of tho lidrriman lines had mado ar rangements to furnish 1'ortland ship pers with alt the cars needed.
