Company in Trouble
When we begin to think th»t our
mission In life ia to keep what we
have and get all that belongs to an
other. then indeed our path becomes
hard to traverse and sharp atones
begin to pierce our feet.
The coming to Scio of the gentle
men who composed the Thomas
Creek Lumber Co. was hailed with
dt light by moat everybody, it was
felt that real lumbermen had now
taken hold of a worth while sawmill
and would make good. They were
real sawmill men it was said, and
they were
The company was com-
Dosed of J. K Elder. Claude Hickey
and A W. Sharpe. The former had
himself elected treasurer, and from
reports he made a good one— for
himself; in fact, it is said he and the
money have completely disappeared.
Messrs Hickey and Sharpe have
been made the “goats” of the com
pany. and when the 10th of March
roiled around and no checks came,
they aud their employee became sus
picious and Mr. Hickey went to
Portland to see why, but he could
get nowhre with Elder, and on
Wednesday Mr. Sharpe went down.
By this time Elder had dropped out
of sight. These gentlemen then re
turned to Scio Thursday night.
By this time the employes were
getting pretty well worked up over
the turn of affairs, and were ready
to place a labor lien on the entire
plant and output, which we under-
stand Hickey and Sharpe advised
them to do. It is said tbe boys
have faith in Hickey and Sharpe and
are hoping thev will And a way out
of their present diffiaiilllM
Mr Sharpe and C.W. Hodge went
to Portland Tuesday to had Elder
and effect a settlement, if possible.
Thev bad the same good (?) luck as
the other men. We have po infor
mation as to the amounts involved,
but it must be several thousand dol
lars
Ever since this mill, or the one
«.round which this mill was built,
was started several year»ago, it has
had a thorny road to travel. mostly
from lack of funds, and if it should
start operations again, it must have
sufficient foods to pay cash for ail
supplies and labor, for our loeal
peoplt are nursing a brokaa book
for carrying the load shoved oato
them
We have learned of no legal ac-
lion being taken by any one as yet,
although rumors have been thick.

A Story in Pictures

What had been expected to ne *
pleasure for our people last Frida
turned out to be a sad disappoin'
ment. What Scio and commo
had hoped to d i vas to sh< v
distinguished visitors a huspi:
equaled oowhcie ai. i a soil that
productiveness is amazingly ch »,
and easily cultivated. But ths s-ii
■lest thing of all was. "It was n< t to
be."
The reason for this “pass op." as
given by B. W. Siller and a Mr.
Z.rzan. both of Portland, was no an
awer was received to a letter mailed
to Scio asking if Scio wanted a visit
ma le to it by lhe big eastern com
mittee. but no information was giv
en as to who lhe letter was address
< m ! to.
lliis will probably go down
n history like “button, button.who's
got the button." and be found in
the hands of the writer or as never
having I wen written. Al any rate,
no one here ever received »uch a
.■•tier so far as we can learn.
The fact that the committee visit-

F Zyseet, I. V. McAdoo and others
whose names we did not learn.
Frank Bartu. ar., was a member of
the party on ita trip south »nd back
to Scio
The Scio delegation made
such a strong plea to visit here that
the chapcrones "kindly" consented
to come over. The party visited lhe
farm home of Mr Bartu and then
came on to Scio, where not more
(han 15 minutes was spent. For
fear some Scio livewire might blow
out a fuse, a Portland loan shark
saw to it that acquaintances must

Some of the party did get to say
they would return soon whan not

to Salem where the Salem Chamta r
