The "tumult and the shouting,”
caused by the annual invasion of the
Oiling and Paving Crews has about
subsided in the Bend division. Walt
Greene has returned to La Grande to
rest and hibernate until next May. Leo
Kirkham is to spend his winter vaca
tion playing ping pong with Tom Ed
wards. Harry Melton was last seen
groping around in the fog, mist and
rain in Benton county trying to find
Corvallis. Buster Gibson has been un
able to get his plant stopped and in
tends to run the year around in the
salubrious climate of Klamath and
Lake counties.
Our boss, W . E. Chandler, has been
visiting his mother in Spokane. He was
accompanied by Mrs. Chandler, their
daughter and granddaughter.
Rumor has it that Ed Pease is head
ing for Eastern Oregon ostensibly to
hunt the great horned buck, but actu
ally to obtain a few sagebrush plants
for his yard. Incidentally, we wonder
if Lin Koons ever got sagebrush to grow
in Astoria.
A ll w ork in Division 4 stopped Sep
tem ber 30 th for an indefinite period
due to an epidemic of Buck Fever.
Those th a t don’t get shot (literally ),

well rested by Christmas.
