LO G G ING C O M P A N Y GOES IN T O B A N K R U P T C Y D O VER, Jan. 10.— (S p ecial).— The Slough Logging company, also known as the Rose mill, has gone into bankruptcy. The action was taken Dec. 21. The assets arc listed at $8,234 and the liabilities at $7,016. A meeting o f the credi tors has been called at 3 :30 Tuesday afternoon, January 15 in the office o f the referee in bankruptcy in Portland. Mr. Rose and his company began to have considerable financial d iffi culty a number o f months ago. The logging was difficu lt and the power was insufficient. When larger ma chinery was installed there were many shtutdowns because o f break age. Early last fall Mr. Rose wan injured in the woods and is still in a Portland hospital. His sons continued the work but under continued adversities, one o f the major happenings being the breaking down o f the mill engine. When a new engine was installed it also broke. This was repaired and then it was found that the old boiler could not be used with the new en gine. This was rebuilt and by this time the company's output was not great enough to meet the many ob ligations. The labor claims are ap proximately $2000. The Slough Logging company took over the mill in the early part o f 1926 after Early & Richardson were unsuccessful in running it. Mr. Rose since that time bought and cut out several tracts o f timber adjacent to the mill. When the work stopped, the loggers were working the timber purchased from Ed Hart. The mill was built in 1923-24 by the Pagh brothers who still have an interest in it.

INSTALL NEW M ILL The Brun-Mclntyre Lumber Co., have ordered new machinery fo r the installat ion o f a shingle mill at their mill at Sandy. The plant will be a ode issue, however, but will operate regularly. Considerable cedar is available fo r the plant. The mill is located a short distance cast o f Sandy, just o f f the Loop high way. A new plank road has been laid from the highway to the mill, making it convenient to reach. The mill is said to be one o f the best equipped in the county, includ ing among other equipment an elec tric high speed planer. A large kiln has recently been built, with 12,000 capacity. Both Mr. Bruns and Mr. M cIntyre are old residents o f the Sandy coun try and are well known. They are experienced mill men, and carry a large stock o f lumber. Bruns-Mclntyre now employ about thirty-five men in the woods and mill, which force will be augmented soon as the new shingle mill is ready to operate. Sandy Hoop Game on Friday Night A double header is on Friday night at Sandy gymnasium. Gresham will play a return with Sandy’s first team, and Oregon City freshies will scrap with Sandy freshies fo r the honors. Sandy fans are requested to be on hand— a thrilling time is expected.
