WORST CAR SHORTAGE IN
HISTORY FACES OREGON
Five Lumber Mills on Falls City Road Shut Down The
Largest Needed 100 Cars Weekly and Got 20 Dur
. ing MonthCommission Will Meet Here.
The worst car shortage in the history
of the state confronts Oregon shlppera
: Lumber mills already have begun shut
ting down, and all kinds of field pro
duets are awaiting ahipmont In cars
that have been asked for from the rail
road companies but not supplied. The
. - nJlroad demurrage law has not yet been
formally Invoked by the shippers, and
I no organised effort is being mads to
: apply it to existing conditions.
Five lumber mills on the Salem, Falls
City A 'Western road have shut down.
One of the largeat, that of the Falls
(; City Lumber company, needed 100 cars
. per woex lor euiem ana local snip
. ments. During the month of August
the mill received but 20 cars from the
.railroad companies, and only two of
; these were ror commercial lumber ship
ments, the other IS being for railroad
I ties and materials. t
U, 4 OouM irot Stand Bxpaasev,
The mill had a large pay roll and was
unable to stand the oxpenae with but
SO ears per month for marketing Its
product. Thus far during the month of
September the mill has been able to
fret but seven cars, . in an attempt to
ship out its large surplus. A shut
down was the only alternative. The
same condition exists with regard to
the other four mills on the road.
It was reported that the railroad com
mission of Oregon had taken up the
complaint of a Port If od commission
house arm would institute legal action
to enforce the demurrage law. Thla
report was incorrect The railroad

Commissioner C. B. Aitchlson, who

today from an Inspection trip through

by the commission to determine the ef

Interstate ehlpmenta, however, are
suffering as badly aa Interstate busl

they should have more equipment la

have less mileage and more business.

To Bret Harte, whose genius furnishes
the foundation for the play, "Salomy
Jane," America owes much In the way
of a model for its own distinctive liter
ature, and to his clear vision the world
must give its credit In return for the
host of quaint, natural characters that
have lived, worked, loved and dlui hv
the virtue of his Inspired pen.
Tha life of Bret Harte is In Itself a
romance, and furnishes but another In
stance of the curious workings of a fata
that inevitably brings out the best that
is in a man In spite of the obstacles ffiat
have apparently been placed in his path.
In his early days young Harte went
through the usual vicissitudes of the
youth, and finally gravitated to tha task
of pedagogues. He failed as a teacher,
for his Inclinations were to lead his
pupils to the study of nature. v
The sclfool a failure he tried mining.
Here again his love for the wonders of
me eartn too possession of him. The
result was one that might have been
predicted, and he failed here again and
turned his attention to the few news
papers of-, the country, publishing
sketcheg of the miners. This brought
him a certain amount of modest fame,
for bis work was clear aa a springs and
held a fascination that gripped because
of its truth. More and mora attantlnn
came to him as a result of bis labor,-
w.iiuii was unainu j way to me east,
and In 1864 he was appointed secretary
of the United States mint at San Fran
cisco, which position he held until 1870
The literary light was by this time
burning fiercely, and in 1188 Harte
founded and edited the Overland Month
ly. In 1873 his work had found annh
iavor tnat ne was approached by a firm
of publishers In New Tork and offered
a salary of $10,000 a year to come east
and write for them exclusively. He ac
cepted this offer, and made his home at
Plainfield, New Jersey, where he wrote
as tha spirit seised him. He died in
London in 1899.
From this time the name of Bret
Harte was but a memory until .George
