Nine men found their wny to lib erty in a «taxational break from th< eouuty jail at Eugene shortly after 12:30 Friday morning. Four of them were r«»captur«*d during the day. Thir teen other prisoners in the jail showed no inclination to take advantage of th«* op)N»rtunity to escape.

Thus«* r«»captured Friday ar«* Stuman, Wheat fill, O'Brien ami Nesbitt. Young Htuman admitt«*d to the offi e«*rs after his recapture that he and Wheat fill broki* the loeks to the cell l«*v«*r control boxes, thus allowing the other prisoners th«* freedom «>f th«* cor ridora. 11«* said that h«* unl«>cked the inner st«*«*l door with a k«*y fashioiie«! from an old spoon and that some one **1 m * unlocked th«* secoml steel door and, reaching through a crack, lifted up th«* iron bolt on the nut*id«*.

One man in the women's cell hear«l the other prisoners br«*aking out and called through th«* window, but there seemed to ! m * nobody on th«* str«*et nearby. Sh«*riff Htickels, t*ornm«‘ntiiig ii|»on th«* escape, said it was due to the over crow«le«l condition of the jail.

That there is a probability of a low uriug of th«: lumber freight rates, which would be of aubstuuliul beuein to the Pacific coast industry, is ih«* opinion ot A. (J. Dixon, manager lor tho Booth Kelly Lumber «a>mpuuy, ot Lu gene, who returned Humlay from tlm eust alter uttending a hearing before the interstate commerce commission as the representative of th«* l'uciiic coast. Mr. Dixou, with other lumbermen oi the northw^si, tu their nrguui«*nls be lore the federal commission, cited fig ures concerning the present situation of the lumber luduatry ou the coast and the necessity of u more favorabl* rate on the rail lines from coast points to the eust. A decrease of 30 per «tent in the shipincut of lumber over the rail lines since the increase in tariff oi August, 1920, was pointed out to the commission, states the loeal manager, who also declared that shipments t»y water have increased in that period from 50,000,000 to 200,000,000 feet, in dicating that the water craft were making luroads ou the busiucss of the railroad* due solely to the fuct that the present rates ou the rail hues were excessive. This factor of high fr«*ight rates is one of the lending causes ot the falling off lu the lumber shipping from the Pacific coast, according to Mr. Dixou, who states that transportation charges are at present in excess of the total cost of production at ih«* northwestern mills. Although a general discussion of freight rales was not the object of the northwestern repres«.»utalives of the luinLcr industry, the fact was touched upon that the transportation charges on lumb«»r, which is a bulky couimod ity, is a very large factor in the final cost kto the consumer. lu Hp4*ukiug of lit«; outlook for the lumber busiucss which he noted in his trip of four we«»ks through the east, Mr. Dixou state«! that he sees a sub stantial increase in the demand for lumbt*r with the revival of building, especially iu Chicago, where he found that an extensive building program is about to start, following th«* end of a building trades strike that had beeu in effect there for three years.
