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.

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

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.

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.
