Employment Rose
During August
Report Reveals
Employment In Douglas county
rose perceptibly during the
month of August. Several flrme
in the lumber industry resumed
operatloni after shut-down per
iod! of varloui lengths. Produc
tion was somewhat hampered by
the annual railroad car shortage
which has resulted In stockpiles
of lumber that cannot be shipped
until the shortage of transporta
tion has been alleviated.
The harvest of the local bean
crop, completed by the third
week of the month, caused a pe
riod of unemployment for agri
cultural workers. This was of
short duration, however, because
the prune harvest is now under
wav. and that will be followed
by the picking of walnuts.
An estimated decrease of 25
rjercent In the total of unemploy
ed persons was noted, and it is
believed that there should be no
marked change until the rainy
weather closes the dirt roads to
trucking.
Renorts from employers In re-
tall trade Indicate that employ
ment trends, while not at the lev
els of one year ago, are holding
steady and snoum increase ny
December. Construction work Is
active; and, as far ahead as can
be determined, it appears that
there should be little falllng-off in
this field.
In an attempted forecast of em
ployment for the coming winter
montns, ine laci mat line log
ging is expeced to be done must
e considered. Many mills have
stockpiles of logs that will carry
them through the winter. It is be
lieved this fact will keep the ma
ority of the mills In operation
and help to hold the employment
total up to a siigntiy nigner level
than that of last year.

Army Engineers
And Reclamation
Said Overlapping
SEATTLE UP) A "tremen
dous overlapping and powerful
competition between the army
engineers and the reclamation
i service was cited bv a former
director of the National Park
service and member of the Hoo
ver study commission.
Horace M. Albright, president
of the U. S. Potash company and
a member of the Hoover com
mission study group on reclama
tion, mining and natural resourc
es, said that millions of dollars
could be saved if recommended
reorganization would be carried
out.
"The two agencies, doing the
same kind of work, are compet
ing for funds," he said.
"We strongly recommended
that the two agencies be com
bined. But there you run into
difficulty. The army engineers,
with only about 200 commission
ed engineers concerned, have 30,
000 civilians working for them.
The reclamation service also Is
a powerful agency."
Albright said that neither agen
cy wants to be stripped of Its
individual powers and funds.
However, he asserted, they
should be appraised In the Na
tional Interest so that no dupli
cation of energy and funds occurs.

struction jobs as long as possible,
and to do so instructs is mem
bers to work at a certain pace
