liave been taken from Malheur, the
Union county list will be drawn from
until exhausted, and the roll; In the
other counties named will then be
used. If It develops that there are
not enough highly skilled men In
those counties, the Portland list will
be drawn from.
A great variety of work will be
available on the Owyhee project, call
ing for gaa shovel operators, concrete
workers, steel fabricators, carpenters
and representatives of other skilled

that the bureau Is required to sub
mit to contractors a working list 25
per cent In excess of the mun -power
needed, and from this list thfacon-
t ractor may choose men he believes
will meet all requirements.

tarlo office.
The contract of Hart brothers for
tlio Wallowa job specifies that labor
bo secured through Enterprise federal
reemployment bureau, and that '(gy
llrbt must be taken from Wallowa
county. Neither contractor nor high
way department have anything to do
with the employment. This for PWA
work, is designated by United States
employment service at Portland. It
specified the EnterpjAO bureau for
this Job and all labor Is secured
through It, according to word tills
