Vol. 2» THE SCIO TRIBUNE $1.75 the Year SLID. OREGON. THURSDAY, M ARCH 19, 1925 Society andT'Iubs 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.

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- ed here is doe solely to lhe efforts of I.

A banquet was given them and quite a nun.lwr from here was invited to come over and sit in. .Th— going over from here were Joe Wesely. D. C. Thoms. Tony Sta­ ck. J S. Sticha. Anton Callus, S. 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 !>e completed with an introduction. Some of the party did get to say they would return soon whan not handicapped. They went from here to Salem where the Salem Chamta r or Commerce entertained them at a noon luncheon. In the party were Frank J. Prasil and J. M Kotek of Chicago and Dr. Norris of Spring- held. Mass . and her parents, Mr. and Mrs. J. Polecek, and Joseph Si­ mon of Cicero, III.
