Representatives of the company have stated that the company has already acquired sufficient timber for a ten-year run. In this territory the new company will be in direct competition with Owen Oregon Lumber company, now operating a large mill at Medford. Many billion feet of untouched timber lie in back of the newly-acquired mill site. The timber in this section is about half and half f'r and pine, the pine being of three kinds. The new company is said to plan taking timber along the Applegate and far up into the moun tains, where growth is said to be particularly heavy.

AH of which serves to introduce Peter McLaren, cham pion wood chopper of the world, who is in Klamath county this week showing the timber beasts just how an axe should be handled.

The contest Is open to. everybody, and every woodsmun who can best McLaren's time with the axe will walk away with fifty slmoleons. McLaren left the land of 1'ie kangaroo back In 1908. For five years ihe traveled with the Ringling Brothers circus, performing his feats with the axe. Since t-icn he baa traveled tx seasons over the Or- phcum circuit and one season over the Pantoges circuit. ' Likewise he toured Europe long before the wars and strutted his wood-chopping stuff before the German Kafser, who is, reported to be swinging a mean axe tos' days. ' - "; - l:Laren ! built much ton tho order of the kangaroo. He's long and thin and wiry. He" Isn't 'given much to talking, but wben he grips an axe in those brawny bands of bis he speaks a mounttul.

He denies that ho will ever slop oft In tho Missoula country' to look at n single stick ot timber, Ho left Monday, he knows some wood choppers who never worked a day in the wjds, but make a good living drawing down prize money In these contests. In a fanning bee witb local lum ber Jacks the o'.iier night, the Aus tralian told of one of the champions on a 20-Inch 'log. This fellow Tiad but one lung, and at the . end of every contest he would fall over in a faint and remain unconscious for several minutes through utter ex haustion. "On a good warm day. nobrdy could beat this fellow," said Mc Laren, "but if it clouded up a bit, lie might faint 'any. time before Ire bad' cut thr-oug-U hiB log. He might lose his o'lamplondhip one mAith, when the day was cl-udy, but the next time lie entored and it was warm, be was-always certainty lo win It back." : " - McLaren and Mock bee left Tues day for the camps, and will return Saturday afternoon to complete final j plans for the big wood chopping I contest.
