NUMBER 25. —r Man Wanders in Woods Three Days and Nights I860 Payrolls Of Mills $10,920 For Year He Goes Out to Gather Deco rations for Christmas and Is Lost in Fog. I Figures which Albert C. Wood-, ard. who is employed by the W. A. ■ Woodard Lumber company, has found in an 1860 report made by the national government show the tremendous increase in the lumber business in Lane «county. Even in that day lumbering was listed as one of the chief indus- trics of the county. There were, however, only four mills in the entire county and the investment in them was given as «$9,700, tho total being hardly enough to start one of the smallest tie mill opera tions these days. Nineteen men were employed in the industry, whereas 5000 probably would be a low t timate of th'» number now employed. The annual payroll was $19,920, whereas there are single operators now, and many of them, who pay out several time's month. The amount every < of raw material for the year $6.582 and the value of the duet $25,488. < Many single mills now turn out several times that amount in a month. The annual payroll in the Cottage Grove coun- try alone is estimated at a mil- lion and a quarter annually, Thc payroll for the county is several times this amount.

Cottage Grove was given the edge on the picture because of its having been produced here and because of the courtesies shown the Buster Keaton company by the local show house ■ luring the time the film oempany was here. There never has been greater interest in Oregon in any motion This is due in part to picture, the fact that it is tho first big picture over filmed in Oregon and in part to the fact that it is said to be the greatest comedy ever filmed. The first showing here will be on February 15. , Hurry Crawford, donkey engineer for the Penn Lumber company at Penn, who became lost in the mountains last Thursday, appeared at a farm house near the mouth of Wolf creek, 15 or 20 miles away, only a few minutes before two bloodhounds brought from Hood River to track him, caught up with him late Sunday. Mr. Crawford had wandered through the mountains more than ; three days and was out three nights in tho bitter cold before he emerged from the timber into a clearing and came upon a settle ment.
