were also there. Games were played
and refreshments were served. A
good time was enjoyed by all.
A surprise party was given at the
home of Mr. and Mrs. Wilson in honor
of their daughter, Miss r.vu, wno was
seventeen years old that day. sever
al of her young frieinds were present.
'Refreshments were served ami all en
joyed a good time.

mas shopping in Baker recently.
. Mr. Matthews has rented the house
recently vacated by the Walman family.
Oiled Axles Stop Friction.
Wheels with ordinary axles actual
ly run on dims of oil. When the axle
Is placed umler the microscope its
surface, which to the eye is smooth,
really Is covered wilh depressions and
humps.' So, too, with the Inside of the
hub of the wheel. If the wheel were
allowed to run without oil tho bumps
ou tho axle and on the hub would nib
together and cuuse friction. This
would cause the. uxle and hub to be
come heated and expand end stick.
Men Employed 3t union Over 800.
"Supplies bought locally which in
clude groceries, hay, grain, butter,
meat and many other iteniB, nil!
nnnunlly average over one hundred
iand fifty thousand dollars. The lum
ber of men employed in the mills
at La Grande and Perry will aver
age 300 from month to month and
when business conditions allow for
the operation of a night shift, tho
average will reach 400. In the log
ging camps during 1919 and 1920
we had on our monthly , payrolls aB
high us 500 men. Making a total
jot from S00 to 900 men.

'To transport our 4okb from tho
woods to thu mill we require a spe-l
stated that" 'facts' 'brought' to our at
tention warrant a different jverdict.'j
It was shown that actual sales at
sawmills cutting souther pine show
ed an averagu reduction from $01.50
to $20. 71 slnca March 1920, and
tbo - fir "in- the northwest was re
duced on an average from $44.15
to $11.94, a 'deflation in price ex
ceeding that of any other building
material. -It was shown conclusive!
ly that their was no profiteering nt
the Bawmill and that present rail
rates were more than tho traffic
could bear' profitably.
"Considering these statements you
can see .that for our-prosperity, and
yours, we must have red need freight
rates and urn Increase In wholesale
prices in order to put the local.
lumber mills back to a normal oper
ating basis." . . ,
