position taken by thu Shuvlln-Hlx-ou
and Ilrooks-Scanlon mills, who In
order to imcoiirnRe homo biiildlnR,
sell lumber through n local agency,
ut prices that are as low ns the lar
gent buyers receive in car lots ut tho
mill. Tho plan was originally put
Into efoot for the benefit of their
employes, so that more homes
would be constructed but the pub
lic outnldo of the actual employes
Is taklpR advantage of the big sav
ing In 'securing wholesale prices on
lumber.
"This splendid example of public
helpfulness Is certainly to bo com
munded." said Mr. Clark, "and all
of Oregon's mills could Join lnn sim
ilar action and thus bo the direct
means of canning a greater amount
of construction of actual homes.
"Other communities could follow
up thu idea und no doubt would be
successful In getting similar action
on the pari of more lumber mills."

Mr Clark says that ho expects to
see other Industries start In Hcnd.

In lie lid. ho bollevos. Iloth of these

"With two or three more big pay

Appreciated.
How five riders, representing
themselves to bo from Ilend, drove
his Japanese laborers from tho fields
at his Lower Ilrldge ranch recently,
threatened violence against them,
and even pilfered $180 from one of
tho men, wuh told Tuesday night by
Georgo L. Ilurtt, potato grower and
Central Oregon land owner, on hla
return from a day's trip through thu
Terrebonne and Lower Ilrldgo sec
tions. "I found tho Japanese badly
frightened," lie said, "and learned
that friends In tho neighborhood
had succeeded, with tho utmost
difficulty, in persuading them to re
main on the ranch."
Mr. Durtt had no Information
which would tend to dlscloso the
Identity of tho self-styled Dcnd men,
but declared that he was convinced
that the members of tho party were
not from this city. "Tho altitude
taken by your commercial club Ik

tioned appreciatively talks given tie

In favor of his development plans,

was accompauied by his brother-in-law,
William Shapter, V. H. nialr,
Canby potato dealer, and Henry Han
sen, manager for Georgo Shlma, Mr.
Durtt saw a number of farmers and
ascertained through personal Inter
views that tho number ot those vio
lently opposed to him Is small und,
ha believes, not representative ot
tho community.
Because ot tho opposition in the
north end of the county and the Im
possibility to secure labor, cither
white or Japaneso, Mr. Durtt re
ported that the Terrebonno ranch,
although plowed and ready for crop,
is unseeded, and that on tho Hosklns
place at Lower Bridge, 130 acrea
have put In. He left orders Uiat two
carloads ot seed, raised In Central
Oregon, shipped to California, and
rcshipped to Terrebonne, should bo
again started on tho way south bo
cause of inability to plant. .Accord
ing to tho normal yield, tho two car
loads would havo produced approxi
