J By Ralph Watson Bandon. Aucr. Down in the southern -end of Curry county there is a EUle town named Brookings. It Is only eight years old, but It has full "thrown enthusiasm and the most modern sawmill but one In the state, it not oh the coast, f : f Brookings was founded In 1912 by tho BrooH trigs Timber & Lumber company, which, sifter building the first unit of its mill. -pany, The Ci and the) Sold to the C. & O. Lumber com- & O, company owns the town country roundabout. It has 60,000! aOres of fir and redwood In Curry and Pel Norte counties, California fir enough alone to keep the present mill running to capacity for 25 years. Thai ivflll keeps 450 men at work In town ;amd in the woods. It has an an nual capacity of 60,000,000 feet. Its pond covers 14 acre and holds 1,500,000 board: ffcet of timber In the water. It has built and. operates two boats, the V. J. Stbut and the Necanicum, between Brooklnjgs, San Francisco and way points, j The; plant Itself covers 12 acres, ex clusive of the 14 acre pond. It has built a dock out Into the harbor which has 23 feet of water at low tide. It gener ates -Its own power and has one of two electric driven unit package monorail loading devices In the world, the other being at the C. A. Smith mill of Marsh field. ; f .! ; V; MODERjr EQUIPMENT The' Brookings mill also has the only automatic sorting table in operation, so far as known, the device being the in vention) of James II. Owen, general man ager off the company. This sorts the lumberj as it comes from the saws into dimension piles, ready for the monorail crane (knd the ship's; sling. Its use cuts -the yard force square in tvo In the middled - i - The c & O. company believes in the home.Jowner. It Is selling lots to Its employes, practically at cost, and on long terms, and it furnishes the lum . ber fob, the houses at cargo rates and on eaky terms. As a result approxi mately 75 per cent Of its married em ployes own their own homes and most of those on the payroll are married. BAllfcOAD PLANNED It ifias built a' $20,000 hotel for its unmarried employes, electric lighted, ' steamj heated and- fully equipped . with baths with a dining room having a aeattnjg, capacity of ; 800. In addition to this the company op erates the Chetco Inn, a large hotel, modern In every equipment from kitchen and 4ld storage plant to furniture. Brookings. is a coming town of South western Oregon and will be mucM bet ter known when the company builds its contemplated redwood mill and extends its railroad on out to reach the outside world, which it plans to do along the old ' Southern Pacifio survey between Crescent City and the' Coos country. AT GOLD BEACH i , ' ' After Brookings we" came to dold . Beach and Weddefburn, that ancient battleground of the Rogue river fishing controversy, where Colonel B. W. Law son, farmer superintendent of the peni tentiary, now manages the fish cannery and e-ther Interests of the MacLeay es tate. Here the gillnetters fight for po sition along the "dead line" of the lower river and gather in i as high as' $100 from a night's toil at their nets. . Saturday night we spent at the Ari zona Inn, a wayside paradise, snuggling in a cove, and presided over by Mrs. F. F. Frtant, a motherly lady who makes real biscuit, hotcakes like you seldom see (n these decadent days, and gives you feal cream right off the pan. It Is a place where the sun Is always shining Inside and nearly always outside, where the ljish are friendly and companionable deer jeat the windfalls in the orchard, not to mention the lettuce and the cabbages in-the garden. j WESTERNMOST TOWlT Sunday we clambered over Humbug mountain Into Port Orford, where Battle rock still defies the sea. Just as it did In 1$52, when Captain Tichenor, father Of Dfeputy U. a Marshal F. B. Tichenor, and Ihia lonesome band of adventurers sought refuge on its rugged crest in their last btand against hostile Indians. . Port Orford is the closest American village to China, perched as It is on the mostj: westerly bluff along the coast to hold a town. Carx Blanco reaches far ther! West, but Port Orford is the west ernmost settlement of the United Stales. Thje citizens there have formed a port district and have voted $25,000 for the construction of a dock, which is now nearfy completed. Some day they hope to have a breakwater built out from the northern bluff to' form a harbor of ' refuge, easy of : access from the open 1 sea, fdeep enough for any vessel plying along the coast, and - safe from any i wlntfer or summer storm. 1 BA5yDOXS POET TROUBLES And then we came to Bandon and to i complaint. The people of Bandon, through their port; district, have voted and sold $64,000 of bonds for the im provement of the Bandon harbor. This sum the government has matched, dollar for iollar, and the entire $128,000 has been! turned over; to the government engineers to spend, i - J Till citizens of Bandon. the port com- BUSY PLACES ALONG SOUTHWESTERN OREGON COAST . . i i in. . i i i i i ... i .' 1 1 1 . ...I i i T .

Investigation of the milk difficul ties of Portland is expected to begin- this week with the first session of the new, commission," named Satur day by Mayor Baker. - That the mayor had Chosen well" in his appointments was : the unanimous verdict of those interested in the milk controversy, and representatives of both sides are said to be satisfied . with the selections and will give the commission all the cooperation possible. The milk controversy began early In July, after the Portland distributors an nounced an increase in "price to the consumers-of from is to 14 cents a quart. The rise was based on a notice from the milk producers, through the Oregon Dairymen's Cooperative league, that the price of milk to the distributors would be increased from $3.20 to $3.80 per hun dred pounds. . BAIBTMEX MAKE. CLAIM The dairymen claim that the milk dealers in Portland have refused to pay this . increase but , have gone ahead charging the consumers more for' milk. - The- differences of these interests have since reached the courts on suits filed by- the dairymen's league for refusing to recognize contracts held, against the distributor by the latter with dairymen who belong to the organization. The first suit against the league was filed Saturday morning, when Attorney A. F. Flegel. representing the ' Nestles Food Products company, which operates two condenseriea in Oregon; asked for a dissolution of the injunction against the milk dealers ordered by ' Circuit Judge Tueker on the complaint of the producers... The complaint, a voluminous docu ment, sets forth charges of unfair busi ness tactics said to have been enlisted by the dairymen in their fight to drive the Nestles company out of Oregon. MEMBERS OF COMMISSION" The members of the new milk' com mission as named by the mayor are Rabbi Jonah B. Wise, "William L. Brew ster. W. B. Fletcher, A- L. Tetu and Major W. D. Whltcomb. Brewster served on the first milk com mission appointed by the mayor during one of the controversies occurring over a year ago,. He was appointed the mayor said, because of the knowledge gained at that time. j . Rabbi Wise was named as the repre sentative of the women of Portland, and was urgently recommended; for appoint ment by the Housewives' council. Major Whltcomb Is an expert" accountant and will be able to direct the. auditing that is to be done on the accounts, . both of the producers and the distributors. - Fletcher and "tetu were named by the mayor because they arc business men of broad : outlook he saidj able to de vote the time' necessary to- an extended investigation. j " . WILL MEET TUESDAY i mutlnir nf iha PAmmliilnniri ha.a been called for next' Tuesday afternoon at 4 o'clock, when the mayor .will go over the matterj with them. After that, the mayor announced, the commission er. will be lefti alone to Scarry on the investigation as they see fit. i Mayor Baker In announcing his ap pointments, said hone of jthe men had been consulted," but he . was' sure they would serve as a public duty. Letters asking ; the appointees to ac cept were mailed to them ! simultaneous ly -i with announcement otj tne nai tsai urdav. These letters were as follows: a vou nrobably bav noted from press accounts, j a controversy exists be tween the milk! producer and distribu tors regarding prices, responsibility for nrioAn te.

' -":.- j The Bandon bar, over which the mouth of the Coquille pours ! its waters into the open sea, is not floored with eatfd but with gravel and boulders, a compact carpet of rocks. 12 feet and more in thickness, cemented together hard and fast by the ceaseless surge of the ocean an one side and: the out-running river on the other. ; j The ebb and flow have plied this rocky "reef up like a submerged dam across the j harbor entrance, which can not be "scoured'f away by the tide as the Columbia bar has been, nor can it be dredged, as : the - government engi neers are attempting to dredge it, so tin port : commissioners contend. They argue that the gravel ; will have to be blasted loose and then hoisted out with Te clamshell buckets of the dredge. In the meantime the Coos is nibbling away, hauling up a boulder or a bucket ful of gravel at a time, getting nowhere, rapidly as the -.money dwindles under Salaries and general overhead, i And to make the Bandon people still more discontented, they contend that tine surveyors have made a mistake. which gives the harbor, on government Charts, nearly two feet more of depth tlhan exists in fact; something that looks good in print and in published re ports of I accomplishment, but gets no where when the boats' try to sail in. j These things were discussed with Sen ator Chamberlain while he was here and the port district officials will put their case in writing so that he may take the whole subject up with the government's district engineer and maybe with the de partment direct after his return to Port land, f V- -I Multnomah County Fair Promises to Eclipse Predecessors Leces: y fair to i Mr. Watson's next article will have to do with the Coos Bay district.
