$500,000 SAWMILL Silver Falls Company to Han dle Much of Log Output of Its Nearby Camps. PLACE IN MARKET IS KEPT fcales of Cut Timber Will Be Made in Connection Witli New Indus try Facilities for Day and Xight Operation Proposed. A modern sawmill will be built by the Silver Falls Timber Company at Silver ton this Spring at a cost of approxi mately J50O.O00. The plant will be operated In con nection with the lossins camps or the same company near Silverton. M C Woodard general manager or the company, has just returned from the East, where he purchased the neces sary machinery ana equipment for the mill. He went to Silverton yesterday to make arrangements for the imme diate inauguration of construction activities. The plant will be built at the edge of Silverton. a town on the Springfield branch of the Southern Pacific. 46 miles south of Portland. A first-class log ging road, about 26 miles in length, connects the town with the camps. Bis Timber Tract Owned. The company owns about 35,000 acres of first-class timber land in Marion and Clackamas counties, tapped by this log ging road. It is estimated that tttis timber tract contains more than 3.000.000.000 feet of splendid fir. Heretofore the company has cut its timber and sold the logs to other mills. For about 18 months, how ever, owing to the depression in the lumber market, the camp has been idle. Construction work on the new plant will be done by day labor under im mediate direction or the company offi cials. It is planned to erect a com - . in Mn.iurn in vf r v detail, in - eluding dry kilns, sheds and loading facilities. The initial output of the Plant will be about 250,000 feet per day of ten hours. Place la Ixg Market Kept. Facilities will be provided, however, for operating both day and night when conditions warrant. A force of 400 men will be employed in the mill and camp. While the company proposes, in the future, to cut its log output in its own mill, it will not retire from the log market entirely. It will be in posi tion to offer its surplus log stock to other mills, but it is rather expected that the new plant will be able to con sume the entire camp output. Orders have been issued to use all possible speed in erecting the new plant in the hope of having it ready for complete operation about Septem ber 1. , "If the present upward tendency or the lumber market continues." said I B. Menefee, vice-president of the Silver Falls Timber Company, yesterday, "we thould be able to operate our mill on full time from the moment that it is finished. If conditions improve, we should be able to operate lt-both night and day. "While our principal business hereto fore has been logging, we have con, templated going into the milling busi ness for the last few years. We have awaited only the improvement of the lumber trade that now has set in. "We are nicely equipped to operate advantageously, for we have a fine etand of excellent timber and a good standard-gauge railroad connecting the timber stand witH the Southern Pacific line at Silverton. "While the lumber trade was in a state or depression, during the last few years we did not operate our camp. We don't calculate to do much logging until our mill is completed, but expect to -operate steadily and indefinitely after that." TONG MAN IS SHOT DOWN iContinuc-l Krom First Page.) ' one wore a dark blue suit and the " other a slate colored suit, with a rain coat. All three were slight of stature and youthful In appearance.

Fighters Oet Word. Unenlieted men of the Hop Sings learned of his design, it is said, and " passed the word to their tong fighters. Therefore, when Wong Ching walked down Flanders street, the sought-for -opportunity presented itself. The Hop Sings "got" Wong Ching. Immediately following their revenge ful sally the Hop Sings went into re . tirement. A number of their best " known business bouses were locked. The headquarters of the tong. at Fourth and Everett streets, was seem - Ingly tenantless. Its doors were locked. ' Elsewhere the effect of this second r outburst of bullets sent members of the two tongs into close hiding. Thirty members of the Bow Leong tong. saving that they wished to leave for an "Astoria cannery, appealed to Captain Inskeep for protection to the North Bank station yesterday evening. They left the tong - headquarters at Second and Oak streets in taxicabs, es- corted by Motorcycle Patrolmen Gould etone and Crane. The peace party from San Francisco Is said to have arrived in Portland Sundav evening. The results of nego tiations speak for themselves, if the tongs really conferred. In the peace partv. said to be of about 15 members, are representatives of the Hop Sings, the Blng Kongs. allied with the Bow Leongf, and the Four Brothers society. Precautions Avail I.HIIe. The police had anticipated the sec . i hAntinc anrl mnnv DUsnected crun- wiio riiui". ' '-' I men have been under constant espion- j ..age. Sunday night two members or j the riingT ivong ions wcro uncsicu aiiu "locked up for carrying weapons. They gave the names of Ding Louis and AH iSam. Precautionary measures, although taken, seemed to have had hut little effect upon the Orientals, who bided their own time for the adjustment of difriculties. The Chinese clan spirit presents a blank wall to investigators. Wong Ching. mortally wounded, was taken to St. Vincent's Hospital, where ho was placed on the operating table. One shot passed through his arm. one entered the abdomen, one through the side and one in the back. Before Wong Ching was placed on -the operating table he made a state ment, naming Lee Kim as one of the at tacking gunmen. He recognized him, . he said, because they had worked to gether in a cannery, where the wound' ed man was employed as cook.. Search is being made for Lee Kim. Jeung Wah, the Hop Sing wounded in last Thursday night's opening of hostilities, is still in doubtful condi tion at the Good Samaritan Hospital. With him is See Quon Yee. member of the Four Brothers' Society, who was wounded at the same time, although1 not a participant in the tong trouble. Shooting; Ends Peace Talk. The pistoling of Wong Ching hap pens at a most inopportune time for peace, and the prediction that the tong warfare would end soon is no longer made It is- thought, however, that the youthful hotheads of the Hop Sings may have exceeded their instructions. Every precaution is being taken by the police, and patrolmen and detec tives have special orders to watch Chinatown with unceasing care. Alabero will be held as chief sus pect in the attempted murder of Wong Chinff. He refuses to discuss the shooi- ineT, and professes to know nothing of the tong troubles. His previous recora as a Hop Sing fighter, it is pointed out, casts doubt upon this statement. District Attorney Evans declared last night that a general cleanup of China town would be ordered today, in all probability. This would mean that every Chinese who cannot give sub stantial proof to Sheriffs' deputies, Constables or police that he Is en gaged in a lawtul occupation in Port land will be turned over to Govern ment authorities for investigation. A wholesale deportation might fol low such a course, which will be re sorted to as a final attempt to get rid of tong gunmen In local quarters, ac cording to the officials. Charles L. Yin, Chinese, 39 years of age, was arrested last night by City Detectives Swennes and Pat Moloney at Fifth and Everett streets, sus pected of being a gunman. He is said to have been a new arrival from The Dalles, and has been in hiding since coming here. He had no weapon with him when arrested. Yin would not talk last night, fur ther than to give his occupation as that of a restaurant proprietor. He will be held for Investigation. Cl'SMEX ARRIVE AT SEATTLE 2 1 Chinese From Portland Journey by;Train and Auto. SEATTLE. Wash.. Feb. 21. Twenty four Chinese gunmen, said to be mem bers of the Bow Leong Tong, arrived today from Portland and were hidden in the Chinese quarter, according to notice who said Chinese in automobiles were followed by detectives. The police believe the suspected gunmen were brought here to participate in the war between the Bow Leong long ana the Hod Sine Toner, which began last Thursday night when Y. TJ. Park, a Corean, was killed in front of his lodging adjoining the Hop Sing Tong headquarters. Yee Bow, secretary or the Hop Sing Tong, is in the city jail accused of killing" Park. The police said the 24 gunmen left the train at stations between Tacoma and Seattle, using the automobiles to complete the trip into town. Kim Bong, secretary of the Pacific Coast headquarters of the Bow Leong Tong, arrived today from Sacramento to look after the interests of the tong. Ah Fung, who was arrested Saturday just as he was about to shoot Eng Heng, a wealthy member of the Hop Sing Tong. was released today on $2000 bail furnished by members of the Bow Leong Tong. ie .

NEW YARD IS IN BALANCE SALEM CHINATOWN' PATROLLED Steamer Benefited Under New Law, Representatives of Two Steel Com panies Again Confer Regarding Establishment of Plant and Another Concern Proposed. Details of the proposed construction of a modern steamer, to be built here, with a carrying capacity or 8500 tons, were considered at a conference yester day between F. A. Hitchtngs, repre senting Norwegian and Danish finan cial Interests, and officers of the Wil lamette Iron & Steel Works and the Northwest Steel Company, and a for mal proposition is to follow Mr. Hitch ings today, as he left yesterday for San Francisco. "If a favorable contract is closed a yard will be established and the work undertaken at once," said Bert C. Ball, president of the Willamette Iron & Steel Works. "Arrangements have been closed for the plant and the only ques tlon has been to obtain first a desir able contract. We have inquiries from others a well as Mr. Hitchings. Mr. Hitchings is credited with having been responsible for placing otner con tracts in the United States recently In the interest of A. O. Andersen & Co., and it is said 'the only delay in the present negotiations will be during the time required to submit the proposal agreed on yesterday to n:s principals thlr headauarters being at Copen hagen. The firm controls a large fleet In sHrlliinn to beinsr interested In a number of others, and it is reasoned that if an order is placed here it proD ablv would be followed by others. There is a strong inquiry also from a Kobe firm wlshine to have four car riers" built, and as all plants in the United States now engaged In tne con struction of steel vessels are swamped with orders, it is not questioned but that Portland can procure all tne worn that can be turned out so long as it can he assured facilities are available. Installation of another plant for building wooden vessels, similar to the yard at St. Helens, is another proba bility. As several contracts for Coast vessels have been declined, owing to limited facilities, it is relt that a large field is available for that class of work. Ahundant timber is to be had along the river, and It is said a number of favorable locations are available. FIREMEN' AVIV WAGE SUIT Three Set on Beach Here From Registry and Sail Along Coast. SAN FRANCISCO. Feb. 21. The Peru vian bark Callao, now at anchor in San Francisco Bay, has been purchased by George W. McNear, Inc., of San Fran cisco, it was announced today. The terms of sale are not stated. The Callao, it is said, will be placed under American registry and operated out of San Francisco to Pacific ports. Big Dredge Will Demonstrate. Portlanders will be given full op portunity to Inspect the new Port of Portland dredge Tualatin and witness its operation, according to plans now under consideration. Steam was gotten up on the digger yesterday and -her turbine gear pumped for the first time. The test was made at the St. Johns drydock and was highly satisfactory. Finishing work yet remains to be done aboard the dredge. When ready she will be shifted into the harbor for her initial digging in hard material. JETTY WORK IS LIMITED CONGRESS TO ACT ON REVISED REPORT OF ENGINEERS. Mysterious Shols Are Heard and Orientals Ask Protection. SALEM". Or., Feb. 21. (Special.) Salem's Chinese quarter was patrolled tonight by the police, who feared that the tong war which is being carried on in Portland and other Pacific Coast cities would shift to this city. Chinese here have appealed to the police for protection from gunmen who were re ported to be on their way. Although the police have watched every incoming train, they said no Chinese have ar rived from outside points within the last 24 hours. The authorities are investigating the firing of four mysterious shots by an unidentified person early today, in an alley between Church and Cottage streets, near Chemeketa. They believe that the shots may have been fired by Chinese. C. C. Graham, who resides in apart ments on Court street, reported to the police that rollowlng the shots he saw two men run down the alley, fol lowed bv a third man. Another re port was that the two ran from the alley and leaped into a waiting auto mobile, which bore them away. LA GRANDE EXPECTS TROUBLE Strange Chinese Arrive and Alleged Highbinders Are Jailed. LA GRANDE. Or.. Feb. 21. (Special.) With numerous strange Chinese in town and two aleged highbinders thrown in jail this afternoon. La Grande expects fresh outbreaks' of the tone war which started Thursday. The two Chinese arrested came from Portland, but detrained at Hilgard and walked 10 miles into town to avoid clashei with either police or foemen. While none of the others have been arrested, they are closely watched. Lem Gome's preliminary hearing has been postponed until Thursday. DOCTOR ASKS NEW TRIAL IRREGULARITY IN COURT PROCEED. INGS IS ALLEGED. Juror Beeaon Accused of Imparting; In formation That "Alleged Crimea Committed at Other Times." Alleging that there was irregularity in the proceedings of the court and error in the refusal of Circuit Judge Kavanaugh to take Into consideration the recommendation of nine jurors for leniency. In the sentencing of Dr A. A. rtuspluiul for manslaughter, a motion for a new trial was filed with County Clerk Coffey yesterday. That after the jury had considered the evidence and retired, A. H. Beeson, one of the Jurors, not sworn by either partv as a witness, communi cated certain private information con cerning material things outside the evidence introduced, which led to the final conclusion as to Dr. Ausplund's guilt, is further alleged, sworn affi davite trom rour or the Jurors, to this effect, being attached to the motion. The information Juror Beeson is ac cused of imparting" is that "alleged crimes were committed at other times" by Dr. Ausplund. Not even the District Attorney is ig nored in the alignment of errors. He is accused of removing evidence from the control of the court during the trial. On top of these other allega tions, it is said that evidence from an entirely new and material witness has been unearthed, with such bearing on the case as to make a new trial impera tive. Upon the probable denial of the mo tion by the court, an appeal will be taken to the Supreme Court. A remarkable record of longevity is to be found in pome of the rural parishes of France. In the, village of St. Thomm de la Flicbe there have been only 14 parish priests In 300 years.

Her voyage is the fastest for the present season, as well as dur ing the 1914-15 cereal period. WILLAPA ' REPORT IS IGNORED Order Against New Projects Delays Favorable Action. OREGON1AN NEWS BUREAU Wash ington. Feb. 21. It is the opinion of Army Engineers that there is no pres ent need for a greater depth of water over the bar at the entrance to Wil lapa Harbor, on the southwest coast of Washington, and an adverse report on the proposed bar project is now before Congress. There is pending, however, a favor able -eport, made two years ago, recommending the dredging of a -24-foot channel from the entrance to the harbor to the town of Raymond, but that recommendation has been ignored Capacity or Tramway Held to Make It Impossible to Handle More Than 800,000 Tons This Season. OREGONLYN NEWS BUREAU, Wash ington, Feb. 21. The ultimate appro priation to be made by Congress this session for continuing work at the mouth of the Columbia probably will not exceed the amount carried by the river and harbor bill as reported to the House $1,200,000. It is reasonably cer tain that the House will not agree to an increase when the bill comes up for consideration and if the Senate later raises the appropriation to $2,104,000, originally recommended by the Army Engineers, the House in conference will insist on Its provision, with fair pros pects that the House contention will prevail. It is learned from various sources that the House committeein rivers and harbors stood ready to appropriate for the mouth of the Columbia every dollar the engineers deemed necessary to carry on the work until March 15, 1917. But while the House committee was preparing the bill, the Chief of. Engi neers appeared and vsaid a revised estimate had been received from the district officer at Portland, that est! mate beinir J1.200.0O0. The chief therefore, modified his request to accord with the estimate of the local officer and the committee de cided on the amount designated. The first estimate of $2,104,000 was made last Summer. Since then, the committee was told, the engineers have found that progress on the Jetty Is limited by the capacity of the tram way. They have concluded that it would be physically impossible to place 1,200,000 tons of rock on tne jetty during the coming season and now figure on dumping something like 800, 000 tons. Furthermore, there are sev eral hundred thousand dollars remain ing of tho last appropriation still avail able. 0 Marine Notes. -vrrivlnar at San Francisco at I o'clock yesterday afternoon, the "Bulldog" Bear, of tho San Francisco & Portland fleet, made a fast run, completing the trip from Portlana In 46 bourt Work on the hull of the schooner E.

UNIFORM CONTRACT IS KEY 1 I '"wssm fcsssisA KkjUaabBsl Membership Restricted to Bona Fide Xorthwest Resident Bodies Who Are Actually Marketing Crops , for Growers. The new Fruit Growers Agency, re cently formed at Spokane, Is neither a new selling organization, a new ship ping organization, nor does it content plate any additional expense to the grower, according to C. A. Malboeuf, local distributor for the Western Ore gon Fruit Exchange. Mr. Malboeuf, who attended the sessions at SpokaneJ wnen tne new agency euecteu its oi- ganization, was named publicity man ager. "The Fruitgrowers' Agency, as or ganized, is the get-together instrument or the growers and selling agencies, said Mr. Malboeuf yesterday, "for the purpose of mutual protection, and through its Spokane' headquarters 'will be handled the multitude of details so essential to the successful marketing of crops. "The agency, as an organization, will perform no act whatsoever of selling. It will displace no existing shipping organization. The present sellinj agencies will continue to act lnde pendently in their dealings with the markets. But through the mutual or ganization thus formed by the grow' ers and shippers, the centering of the best thoughts and minds in the indus try will be devoted to the adoption and carrying out of advanced practices in marketing, and the extension of trade development in the world's markets. "Substantially, confidence is expected to take the place of hostility in com petitive conditions, and through that confidence, economy with materially increased efficiency should logically bring its return in a corresponding saving in dollars and cents. Eligibility Is Fixed. "Eligibility to membership is con fined to certain specific features, name ly: Selling organizations must ze bona fide Northwest resident bodies: they must be actual agents of the grower and market their output in his behalf; they must use the uniform contract ex clusively. All other active and passive members must also be parties to and use exclusively that same contract. "The uniform contract . is the Instru mentality about which the entire move ment and organization is constructed. "The uniform contract illustrates the general scope of the entire plan. Its conditions are mandatory upon the sell ing organizations. They represent the very things the shippers have recog nized as vital to the progress of mar keting methods, the wider development of markets, the great need for a con trolable and economic pioneering or the maiy foreign markets now unacquaint ed with Northwest fruits, as well as a steady and greatly enlarged distribu tion in Great Britain, Germany and other export countries. "These latter have been handled under a series oT almost unsurmount able obstacles in the past, due to ir regular and uncertain offerings and uncontroled competition, but which can only be overcome throughthe employ ment of joint representatives, directly representing the product of the various districts."
