CAR SHORTAGE! 50 DOWNED J. H. ROBERTS
Will Cause Curtis Lumber Co. io
Shut Down.
Mr. and Mrs. Robert S. Shaw, of the
Curtis Lumber Co., went to Portland
this morning on a short business trip.
Mr. Shaw reports a continued car short
age. While the Company is able to
get cars for its Oregon trade, the
companies being afraid of the recipro
cal demurrage law, it is almost impos
sible to secure any lor outside ship
ments. The claim is that the cars are
all being used for fruit and hop ship
ments, etc. The Company now has on
hand 8,000,000 feet of lumber, 400 car
loads, representing over $100,000, com
pletely filling its yards. The result is
the Company ha3 decided to shut down
until there is relief, and will do so in a
few days, putting a large force of men
out of employment. It will of course
start up whenever car conditions are
better.

Roberts was about 45 vears of
age, and had been in the railroad busi
ness in different capacities from the
age of fifteen years, several years in
the middle west. He came to Oregon
in 1890 and accepted a position as train

liked by all knowing him. He was a

A Sermon in the Play.
The great and successful comedy. "A
Message from Mars" will fill an en
gagement here on Monday, Oct. 28.
Horace Parker, the hero of the com
edy, is a typical egotist. He believes
that the msny must toil, that the few
must have only the pleasures of life,
and he includes himself in the latter
list. His fad is astronomy and espec
ially the study of the planet Mars. His
sweeteeart, tired of his egotism.breaks
hei marriage engagement and leaves
him reading an essay on Mars
when suddenly a messenger comes
from this planet with the task
of reforming what he says is the most
selfish man on earth. The Martian
leads Parker willfully into the streets
where the snow is deep, and instantly
transforms him into a very poor man.
In an instant he is divested of his fur
coat and appears in the garb of a tramp
and makes him give away all the money
he has to an unfortunate but deserving
woman. There is a great sermon in
this play.
