IN l'.DftYS, Union, Wallowa County Employment Levels Up Employment levels increased in Union and Wallowa counties in July for the fourth consecutive month, Ernest O. Burrows, man ager of the' Ls Grande office of the state employment service, announced; yesterday. Virtually all regular workers on lay-off status in the logging and lumber industries had been re called by the end of July. Some shortages for, skilled and semi skilled sawmill workers develop ed in the area, requiring clear ance recruitment to fill these needs. New hiring in other in dustries was mainly in the retail trade and service. Seventy-nine workers were plac ed on jobs in July by this local of fice. Thirty-four of these were farm hands. A contract in the amount of $335,002 was awarded for an Ore gon Forest Development Road project in the Wallowa-Whitman National Forest in Wallowa County. The work involves the construction of 12 miles of grad ing in the Gumboat Creek area. This road is part of a develop ment plan to give access to one of the largest remaining stands of virgin timber in North Eastern Oregon. Building permits issued in July by the City of La Grande totaled $171,960; compared to $21,126 in June and $41,405 in July, 1957. Farmers With Commodity Loan Get Extra Pay It has been announced by Ben L. Robinson, chairman of the Un ion County Agricultural Stabili zation and Conservation office, that all producers who have a commodity under loan and deliv er to Commodity Credit Corpora tion at the time of settlement, will receive an additional nine cents per bushel for barley, 10 ctnts per bushel for rye and 11 cents per bushel for wheat. Robinson further emphasized that the additional payment is due to the reduced freight rate. Our present loan rates will remain the same as they are now established, but the producer who delivers the loan commodity to CCC at a county point will re ceive the additional payment on wheat after March 31, 1959, and ther grains after April 30, 1959, or settlement time. 0 PRESERVE VM-UftSLE.

VIII A POKER game, with five players, was going on in the Pleasure Palace. Rosser stopped ,.at the bar. "Mr. Hodder here?" , The bartender pointed to the, nntor damn '"Ttiat'c Phnr fn there, fellow with the fancy vest." Rosser walked to the poker game. He was within two steps o it when he came to an abrupt halt. One of the players was Guy Tavenner! Even as he slopped, Tavenner's eyes met his. "I know you," Tavenner said. "I never forget a face." "St. Paul," Rosser said evenly "Yeah," Tavenner cut in quickly. Hodder, the man with the fancy vest, threw out a hand "Whoa, Tavenner, hold every thing! Yon want In fleht. wait r,until after the eame.'VHe smiled up at Rosse. "Or maybe you'd rather fight it out with aces and full houses?" "I really came over to see you Mr. Hodder." "Then sit down." Rosser pulled out a chair and seated himself at the table. He brought out his entire cash re sources, a erumDled S10 bill, two gold half eagles and a silver dol lar. "That's all you got?" sneered .Tavenner. "It's more than you had when you quit the game the last time wo played poker. . , . ' , "I've got more now. I'll cut you high card for that." Rosser took out the deed to Section SB. lie handed it to Hod dcr. "How much will you lend me on this?" Hodder looked curiously at Rosser, then took the deed. His eyes widened as ht glanced at it, Then he folded the document and handed it back to Rosser. "Whatever you say." Rosser turned back to " Guy iavenner, "Put up 51, 000." Tavenner said sulkily, haven't got a thousand." "Then how about three hun dred? Isn't that the amount you beat tne bt. Paul hotel out of?" Tavenner bared his teeth. He counted out money, leaving a small shcat of bills and some silver in front of him. .The rest he shoved out onto the table "There's your three hundred When we get through cutting. win or lose, I'm going to pin your ears dock lor you." Savagely, he riffled the cards and slammed the deck down on the table. Rosser reached out and shoved the pack to Hodder "You shuffle, Mr. Hodder." . HODDER gave the cards a quick shuffle and put Hem down on the table. Rosser leaned over, cut the cards and turned up his cut. A ten. Tavenner drew deep breath and made a cut. He kicked back his chair. "Do you want it in nere or outside?" "What's your card?" "All right, that's out of the way!" Tavenner got up and showed the seven of spades. The would-be banker, Hodder. said quietly, "Before you start, Tavenner, take a look at that deed of land. iavenner, a puzziea 100K on his face, but caught by the bank er s tone, reached lor the land deed. He looked at it. Tom Rosser," he read, then a hoarse cry was torn from his throat. "Rosser . . . the gun- hghterl" A violent shudder ran through Tavenner. Ho stared at Rosser., his jaw slack, his eyes threaten ing to bulge from their sockets. Rosser took the deed from his slack hands, put it in his pocket and begin to gather up the money on the table. As he turned away, Hodder followed him. Hodder signaled to one of the bartenders. "Two beers." The beers were set down for Rosser and Hodder. The latter picked up his glass and saluted Rosser. "To a quiet town." Rosser nodded and quaffed some of his beer. Hodder set down his glass and frowned. "Great Plains is less than six months old and three people have already been killed in it." Hod der shook his head. "The town's getting wilder day by day and the railroad nasn t even rcacnea us." Rosser set his half-finished glass of beer on the bar and said, Tve got some things to take care of . . . He nodded to Hod der and turning, left tiie saloon. Hodder looked alter him wor riedly. Sim Akins moved over to Hodder. "I heard it said that Rosser lost his nerve, after what he did in Kansas." Hodder turned oil Akins. What did he do in Kansas?" "Killed his woman." . , 1 ROSSER entered the Mountain Hotel and headed for the stairs. There was a woman at the desk, talking to the manager. Rosser's eyes flicked to her as he passed. He went three Steps beyond, then stopped. He turned just as Susan Tavenner came 'away irom the desk. Mrs. Tavenner!" Rosser ex claimed. She recognized him, but she said, "I don't believe. . . ," "St. Paul." Her eyes clouded. Her mouth opened to say something, then she changed her mind, nodded coolly and walked toward the door. In St. Paul he had seen her in what must have been one of the most embarrassing moments of her life. He had been present when the hotel manager had evicted her. after her husband had deserted her. . (lo He CoiUinui4 New residential construction ac counted 05 $166,845 or the Julv 1958 total. Unemployment was reduced to the lowest level since November, 1957. The estimated total unem ployment in this area was 430 at the end of July, compared to 560 in June ami 256 one year ago. Female unemployment was esti mated at 185. A total of 137 new claims were filed for Unemploy ment Insurance compared to 241 in June and 89 in July 1957. A continued firming of the lumber market can be expected to result in an increased demand for experienced workers in the log ging and lumber industry. A mod erate increased demand in retail trade and service is also expect ed during the next 60 days. Set tlement of the heavy construction industry labor dispute would re sult in resumption of work on cveral projects in this area as well as the start of at least two new projects held up pending a settlement of the dispute. Em ployers are invited to list their employment needs with this of fice, where workers with. quali fied ' experience or desired apti tudes are registered and available. Solon Demands Show Of 'Clean' Hands By Probers WASHINGTON tUPli Kep. Thomas B. Curtis (R-Mo.) de manded that House influence- iiivcsligalors prove they have "clean hands" before the House votes on their rccaiest for a con tempt citation against millionaire Bernard Goldfine.

"These matters, unanswered, badiv damage the repti'.-jtion of Congress," he 'said. "This sub committee should make a formal report on these arid other, matters before the House should consider the request lor a contempt citation." OUR BOARDING HOUSf With iftalor W000W Venezuela Aware Of Communist Danger, Solon Says WASHINGTON (UPU Kep. Charles O. Porter (D-Ore.), said Tuesday that despite reports to the contrary (he government of Ven ezuela is "fully aware" of the dangers of Communism. , Porter, who visited the South American nation last month, took issue with a published report from Caracas, Venezuela, implying that only the Venezuelan army has a full understanding of the Commu nist threat. He said the report failed to mention outspokenly anti-Communist statements recently at Rear Admiral Wolfgang Larrazabal, president of the provisional junta, and by Romulo Betancourt, head of the large Accion Democratica party. U.S. officials dealing with Latin American affairs appeared to share Porter's view. One official just back from a visit to Venezu ela said he detected a growing re sistance in the government to co operation with the Communists. - A Fire Destroys Cottage Grove Business House COTTAGE GROVE (UPI) $50,000 fire swept through a Cot tage Grove business house early Monday morning, destroying a bowling alley, pool room, and n storage area for appliances.
