..pects for" men employed in the mills
. and camps 6f Coo a county and for
employers as well are not bright
at present,, as many of the larger
"tplants are closed down. A sreneral
feeling prevails that spring j'wffl
bring new business, resulting in op
erations on a large scale, but for a
time,, at least.- work in the lumber
industry in this part of the-state will
be slack.
The C. A. Smith mills. Inarshfleld,
which were closed far the holidays will
remain shut down until the first of Feb
ruary and probably until February 15.
The camps . of the Smith-Powers com
pany will remain closed. The company
operates seven camps.
I The big mill of the North Bend. Mill &
Lumber company and the camp operated
by the company are both closed and will
not open until February 1. j
The Buehner Lumber company has
gone on a six-hour shift, paying at the
rate of 60 cents an hour for common
labor.. . ' " t - i
The mill of the Moore Mill & Lumber
company at Bandon has remained closed
since the holidays and will not open be
fore some time in February. j - , '
The plant of the Bay , park Lumber
company at North Bend is closed for re
pairs, but the management hopes to open
toon. i ' . . -
With the launching of the last vessel
In December, the Kruse & Banks shin
yard Is without work, except barges bf
ing built for the port of Coos Bay. I The
company has no new orders for vessels.
' The Johnson mill at Reedsport is oper
ating, but the Reedsport Lumber com
pany and the Winchester Bay Lumber
company plants are both closed. -
Many of the men who were employed
in the camps and mills have gone away
to other places, but others are Idle, wait
ing for the companies to resume opera
tions.' .' ' . . .
The mills connected with the Four L-'a,
which include most of the larger plants,
have agreed on a minimum wage for
common labor of $4 a day. This will be
followed by practically all of, the mill
companies in this country. ' ': i f
At present less work for the employes
of the lumber Industry exists than at
ariy time for four years, but lumbermen
and employes are hopeful that the con-,
ditions will not continue for any., great
length of time, j"

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. The closing f the mill
throws many ' out of employment and
practically closed the town temporarily.

Phone Line Tapped;
Moonshiners Tipped
On Proposed Raid
Goldendale. Wash., Jan. 11 Tapping
a telephone line enabled moonshiners,
alleged to be operating a large still In
a deserted cabin on Bowman creek. In
an isolated- section of the Simcoe moun
tains about 20 miles from Golderfdale.
to gain word of an; Impending, raid and
flee. While plans for the . raid were
being made local authorities were noti
fied that a mysterious message had
been going over the wires of a rural
line out through the Simcoe mountains
from Goldendale.. i
"Get that dead horse away from the
road quick, the officers are making an
awful fuss about it," is said to be the
cods signal that was heard in a feminine
voice, apparently from nobody to no
where. When the authorities arrived at the
cabin evidences of a hasty departure by
the occupants were plain and everything
Indicated that a moonshine plant had
been In full operation shortly before, but
the still had been dismantled and re
moved. 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.
