" " ? - Brookings Almost Deserted Because Of Mill Shutdown Marshfleld. Qr Jan. "13. -Until recent ly the biggest center of population In Curry county and one of the busy points on the Oregon coast, the town of Brook ings is becoming a deserted village. The big mill Of the C. & O. Lumber-company has been shut down. The management has announced that the suspension of operations may continue 30 or 60 days, but promises that the mill will run again within three months. Repair work Is of fered men of families desiring to remain. Most of the unmarried men are leav ing and many are moving to the hills of Curry county, where they will occupy cabins and stay in the woods for the rest -of the winter.

Three empty mash barrels were found In the loft of the building and a quantity of corn mash was found out side the cabin, where it had evidently been ..hastily covered with dirt. The "eat, in" on the telephone line was found to. have been made by run ning a wire- into the end of a large tin can with a piece of rawhide stretched tightly over" one end, making a drum head transmitter over which all con versations -that . passed over - the. line could be plainly heard.
