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.

BRUNS-M cINTYRE CO.
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

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.

thirty-five men in the woods and

soon as the new shingle mill is ready
to operate.
