BIG LAKES TO

REACTION HAS SET IN
AGAINST FIBER BOXES
Large California Packers Have Returned to Use

"Thye is a very marked reaction against the fiber con
tainer by the more important manufacturers using boxes
for shipping their product," according to H. F. Aldrich,
a representative of the California Saw Works, San
Francisco, who is here on business. Between six and
eight months ago many of the larger consumers of box
shook switched to the fiber container, but after trying
the paper box for several months they are again re
turning to the use of wooden containers.

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.

only one shift was run.
The company's log supply was pur-
'chased from contractors this year, but tl

pany has holdings aggregating some
sixty million feet. At present there is,
a surplus of about five million feetj
In the pond. Steel will be laid
in a short time along the new un
loading track along the shore of Lake
Ewauna. Formerly the logs were un-l
loaded direct from the Strahoru line'
and shoved out Into the lake through!
a channel. w ina irom tue souin
side made this very- difficult at times,
but with the completion of tho new
track lines this condition' is done
away with.
If the lake freezes, the mill will
be started up again as soon as pos
sible. The sawmill employs about 60
men per shift and the box factory
which' will oporate one shift all win
ter, one hundred men and women.

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.

observers declare niuat have cost ut
least (wo hundred dollars. Hvery
evening Neilson fares forth, no one
knows where, and returns nt a fate

Nor Is this all. Mr. Neilson goes
about Ills duties In a preoccupied
manner, with a dreamy smile upon
his face, stops frequently, and gaics
vacantly into spaco. At press time
we had been unable to discover the
lady's name. r
