W orkers Move Quickly
W hen Motor Burns
If men at the Anderson 4 Mid­
dleton mill always moved as fast
as tltt’y did for a few moments
this forenoon there would be no
difficulty in tripling or quadrup­
ling the production. The reason for
the unusual speed was the burning
out of the big motor which hail
been installed but a few days and
which was used to operate the main
saw.
When the big motor began throw­
ing flames and sparks all the men
working nearby suddenly thought
of business in other parts of the
mill. Victor Kem. electrician, who
ha<l assisted in installing the big
motor and who chanced to be pres­
ent, rushed to the switch and cut
off the power.

paiiy failed to start work at the
date agreed upon and the county
court could gut no word as to
whether there was any intention
to do the work at any time.
The company which furnished the
bond for the construction company
has been called upon to do the
Work. Evidently this company had
anticipated what was going to hap­
pen and had made preparations to
go ahead with the work. Immedi­

Action Demanded by
Short-Story Reader»
“Your work 1« excellent but ua-
HHlable."
In these terse but kindly meant
words a literary agent dismissed, a
few days ago, a young author who
had submitted to him some short
stories.
Tlte young author complained
later that It was useless to attempt
to write artistic stories for the
British public, writes a critic in the
London Mail.
"I am told that my work 1s good,”
he mourned. "But In England there
Is no demand for work that Is above

There Is u certain restricted class
of reader who likes to know what
people think rather than what they
do. Such a reader can find enor­
mous pleasure In books or short
stories In which all adventures are
adventures of the mind. But by
far the greater number of readers of
fiction prefer action. They have no
patience with the school of writers
who believe that to reveal the Inner­
most thoughts of a man or woman
who does nothing is the supreme
test of artistry.
To expel from the ranks of good
books all novels which are novels
of action would be to cut out some
of the greatest stories written. No
longer should we be able to rejoice
tn the adventures of the Three Mus­
keteers or follow the doing of a

Slashing Catch« Fine From Blast
Set Off By Railway Con­
struction Crew.
A fire in the Anderson 4 Mid­
dleton timber threo or four iuile,
south of the company'a Culp creek
camp is today thought to be under
complete control. For several days
a large portion of the company’s
holdings, other private timber and
government timber several miles
away were in danger. On account
of the dry conditions in the woods,
it was with difficulty that a crew
of 50 men from the company’s rail­
way and logging crews kept the
flames from gaining headway that
might have resulted in the destruc­
tion of logging and railway equip­
ment and possibly of part of the
logging railway.
The fire started Friday forenoon
when a charge of dynamite set off
by a crew which was extending
the company’s logging railway set
fire to a pile of slashing. It was
reported this afternoon that very
little green timlier had been injured.
State, county and federal firn of­
ficials have visited the scene of
the fire but have left the fire
fighting in the hands of the lumber
company's crew.

Stock Pries« Aro Good.
Lane county farmers are now

operative Shipping association. The
top price for hogs is 514.50 per
