F. Aldrich, a representative of the California Saw Works, San Francisco, who is here on business.

The shavings from the pinning mill are blown into the sawdust con veyor from the mill In the fuel bouse. Construction, will start at once upon three pipe lines from the beat er lit tho boiler room to the pond, where heaters will he Installed to keep the water open for till winter operation. When the weather Is not sufficiently cold to demand the use of tho steam In the pond, it will be condensed nnd used in the boilers af ter the oil has been separated from it. The oil that Is recovered Is ad mirably Suited for use on slow mov ing bearings, and the condensation will furnish enough water for two boilers. Lumber Alleys Are.

Great Northern Plans State Wide Development if Allowed to Build IS NOT A SUBSTITUTE Oregon Electric Line to Extend Through Santian Territory to Bay MAItSHFIKLI). If the interstate commerce commission gives the Noi thern lines permission to build from Ilend to Klamath Kails, a state-wide development program, that will In clude a railroad from Eugene to Coos bay, is planned by 'the Great Northern, according to authoritative Information obtained here today. Application by the Hill lines to build from llend to Klamath Falls was made at the' recent interstate commerce commission hearing in Portland and this application was made as "opening wedge" by the (Ireat Northern to enter into terri tory In which the Southern Pacific now has a monopoly. S. I. Spurns Joint Line If this application Is denied the development program tbnt has been tentatively prepared by the Great Northern will be abandoned, it is understood. Yesterday Ralph Budd. president of the Great Northern, declared in Portland that application of the Hill Hues to carry out the Klamath Kalls liend project was made after the Southern Pacific had spurned a common user proposal on the Natron cut-off. If the tentative program of de velopment by the (Ireat Northern materializes It will mean that the Oregon Electric, a part of the Hill lines, will he extended into the San tlain territory to Coos bay. thus creating competition jn this section nnd affording a shorter route for short hauls anil pasengcrs to Eu gene. Not KaSWi Substitute The Hill lines' entry into this territory, however, is not regarded as In any way a substitute for tho proposed east-west railroad through central Oregon to the east as hauls to the east over the Great Northern would be virtually the same in dis tance as over tlie Southern Pacific. The desire of the 11111 lines to en ter this territory dees indicate, how ever, that this seel ion of the state is recognized as being a source of tremendous wealth and capable of furnishing freight for more than a single line such as now exists.

Heilbronner Holds Record For Runaway Team Does Consider able Damage in Short Distance Fred Heilbronner holds all records for short distance runaways. Last week a team he was driving became fractious and ran a hundred feet be tween the Ewauna office and the box factory. In this short space they were not exactly idle, however, for the wagon struck the steam line to the office, nearly tore it down, and then crashed into C. II. Daggett's Hudson coaoh, crushing the hood and breaking the carburetor.
