Items of Interest Found in Northwest Exchanges. Historical Records A'acue on First Industry in Oregon. PROOF as to whether the first Ore gon industry located' within the present boundaries of the state was a sawmill or gristmill is not con tained in historical records, asserts The Dalles Chronicle. There are many unconfirmed re ports of early industrial development but the first operation of which def inite knowledge is obtained is that of a gristmill just west of Donald on the road to Champoeg. History records that this mill started in 1825 and that shortly afterwards the Yale gristmill opened three miles west of Forest Grove. 'Claims have been made that a saw mill operation waB started at Ore gon City in 1822 and the Oregon His torical society is satisfied that a mill really was located there prior to 1840, although no positive records have been preserved of such an in dustry. The first confirmed know ledge of a sawmill is that of an in dustry which was opened at North Salem in 1842 by the Methodist mis sion. However, in the old Oregon coun try, before its division into states, there was a mill operated from 1826 to 1828 by John McLoughlin. This mill was located six miles east of Vancouver on the Columbia river and this mill produced one of the very first Oregon products, "Oregon Pine" lumber, sold in the Hawaiian islands. Peoria Hardwood Mill Busy. The Peoria hardwood sawmill is one of the busiest places in Linn county, says the Harrisburg corres pondent of the Albany Herald. This mill is located on the Willamette river a short distance north of Harrisburg. Charles Ligget, the pro prietor, was at one time a farmer in the Plainview community. He Was associated with him in the industry the Eugene handle factory. At pres ent he is installing new machinery and the mill is not running for a few days. The output of the mill, is shipped as the local demand is small. ami employes have several new cottages under construction. The mill promises to become one of the leading enterprises of the section." Late Snows Handicap Plant. The late snows have handicapped the Oregon Wood AV'orking company factory in West Salem, curtailing its raw material. The rnmnan has been getting its slab wood from Falls City, fhere there is no lath mill and the mill waste ex actly fills the bill for the handle fac tory. The heavy snows shut off the Falls City supply. With the reopen ing of the Falis City mill, says the fiilem Statesman, the company hopes to catch up on the many carload or ders that are held up. The company is making an enormous order of spools for both adding machine and for regular wrapping-paper rolls for the Salem paper mill. An increasing number of wood novelties has been added to the occasional line. 3Vew State Park Advocated. The creation of a state park on the ground at present operated by Oregon City as an auto camp site in Hawley park, is the proposal made by M. D. Latourette, a member of "the park committee, which has the adminis tration of the grounds in hand. The state, Mr. Latourette points out, is taking control of a number of parks throughout Oregon with the view to operating them during the entire year. Hawley park, with its 50 to 60 acres, would make an ideal location, he says, and it is probable that the matter will be presented to the next session of the state legislature, says the Oregon City Enterprise. Goats' Death to Thistles. Hub Bryant of Albany. Or., tells the Herald of that city that goats have solved the problem of keeping thistles from going to seed. Mr. Bry.- ant claims the goats do not exact;, lelish the thistles until the balls be gin to form? for the bloom. Then they will eat t.ut c' '.he top and destroy the bloJin. Mi. jJryant has followed this practice for some jears on his ship continued and Mr. Hansen re cently received a letter from Amund sen asking his friend to visit him in Seattle. Mr. Hansen has gone to the sound city and will renew old ac quaintance with the explorer. Burglars lit Tacoma Clever. Burglars in Tacoma are adding cleverness to their daring, says the News-Tribune. Monday the police received a report of a robbery from L. W. Johnson at 708 South K street. While their home is being remodeled Mr. sid Mrs. Johnson and 16-year-old daughter have been sleeping out doors in a tent. Early in the morn ing the intruders entered the tent and skilfully extracted a purse from the bed occ.nnied bv the adults and also discovered the hiding place of' Mrs. Johnson's wrist watch and fountain pen in her shoe. Husband Still on Roof. Anent the little tembler felt here the other day the Vancouver, Wash., Columbian has this little item: "Mrs. . Lillian Davis, living on Thirty-ran' h j street, not being used to earthquakes thought for the moment she was to be minus a husband. Mr. Davis was on the roof making repairs when the quake occurred and Mrs. Davis know ing this, thought the earth treinoi was caused oy her husband falling to the ground. An investigation, how ever, disclosed that Mr. Davis was still on the ro"f safe and sound.' ' Business Better in Klamath. Jack Slater, owner of the Lake side Lumber company, tells the Klamath Record building operations in Klamath Falls are bound for a big increase. Business has so picked up in the past few weeks that the work ing crew has been doubled. BUCHTEL REGflLL- IS HIT LABOR INDORSES PtBLIC SERVICE COMMISSIONER. Belief Expressed Candidate Prom ising Reduction in Fare Should ' Investigate Carefully. Organized labor is in hearty accord with the recall law, but believes its use against Fred G. Buchtel is un wise, according to a declaration is sued yesterday by W. E. Kimsey, sec retary of the central labor council. Mr. Kimsey said labor had indorsed Mr. Buchtel to succeed himself, hav ing faith in his honesty of purpose and his ability impartially to consider the important matters referred to the public service commission for' deci sion. "The voters of this district will be called upon in the recall - election Friday to say whether they desire that Fred G. Buchtel be continued on the Job as public service commis sioner or be replaced by some indi vidual who in his campaign pledges himself to reduce street car fares to 5 or 6 cents," said Mr. Kimsey in his communication. "The central labor council has given this matter considerable thought. The people it represents are probably as vitally interested as are any other group or class of people. "If the Portland Railway, Light and Power company is receiving more than a reasonable return on its in vestment then rates should be revised but the company should not be lim ited to 5 cents, 6 cents or even 7 cents, if this does not allow a reason able wage and a reasonable return on the investment, and we are firmly convinced that the candidate who piedges himself to bring about a re daction of fares to 5 cents without a thorough investigation of the mer its of the matter is neither honest with himself, his constituents or the public service commission." SPOKANE CARFARE CUT 7 -Cent Cash Fares to Be Put Into Effect June I . OLYMPIA, Wash., May 17. (Spe cial.) Spokane street-car fares will be reduced from 8 cents cash fare to 7 cents cash fare and 6 cents ticket fare, beginning June 1, under an ap plication made by the Spokane City Railways company to the department of public works today.

The traction companies in Spokane are to be consolidated July 1, as a result of the recent election, which authorized a new franchise with the lower fare. The companies, however, do not wish to wait until July 1 to make the fare reductions. Motor Busses on Kails Planned. It is expected that in the near fu ture additional train service will be afforded between this city and Sea side by the Spokane, Portland & Seattle railway, says the Astoria Bud get. This company, as an experiment on short-haul runs, has purchased a Mack truck equipped to run on stand-ard-guage tracks, the first of its type in the northwest, which will probably be ready for use this sum mer. The truck will accommodate 35 passengers. It will have a bag gage compartment with drop seats that can be used for passengers if needed. " Coyote Fighters Increased. . OLYMPIA, Wash., May 17.
