Wesley of Elgin, Vice President; Mr. Horace J. Williams of La Grande, re-elected Secretary-Treasurer; Mr. Chester H. Armstrong and Joseph K. Campbell, Delegates; Mr. George M.

ASTORIA CHAPTER No. 8 At the well attended monthly meet ing of Astoria Chapter No. 8, former delegate to the District Council meet ing, George Perkins of Jewell was again elected by unanimous vote. C o f f e e , cake and sandwiches were served after the meeting. George Stults of Seaside won the jackpot, whereupon he paid his dues in advance. The jackpot helps in more ways than one. The Astoria district is favored with considerable new construction work, all roads leading out of Astoria are under reconstruction, a very modern inter section is almost completed at the junc tion of the Oregon Coast and Nehalem Secondary highway just north of the Youngs Bay bridge. Harry Melton and his Extra Gang moved into Astoria last week and at the present time are removing slides from the Columbia River highway. Betzer, Carter and crews have been in Astoria for the past two weeks in stalling lights and signs at the new intersection. Charles E. McCutcheon, former sec tion foreman at Shaniko, has taken up permanent residence in Astoria and is now an operator on the Lewis and Clark bridge. It is also noted that Charley has been experimenting with sagebrush on the coast highway with L. V. Koons. Claude L. Potter, former operator on the Lewis and Clark bridge has moved to Reedsport. We learn with regret the recent death of Mrs. Potter, and we extend our sympathy. We also wish to extend our sympathy to the Gilbert Sweet family in the recent death of their daughter, Mrs. John Hansen. ROSE CITY CHAPTER No. 5 This dinner was held at the meeting on November 10. Sorry to disappoint the readers but our duck dinner didn’t happen ’cause no one brought the ducks as promised. We managed to please the members however, for we served baked ham, just plain pork ham, with all the trim mings. About 70 members attended, several from the Portland Chapter. We enjoyed having them and hope to have them again soon. Can’t forget to men tion Forrest Stewart, a welcome visitor any time. Our ad in the last sisue proved very profitable for the crew at North Portland has increased to six men, maybe it pays to advertise. Mult nomah is short handed, suppose our prayers will be answered again, bet some of the boys across the pond would like to answer them. Harry Confer, Section Foreman at Oregon City and an employee of the Highway Department for the past 25 years, has moved to California. Sorry to see him leave but he felt it necessary to be near his daughter and grandchildren. Guy L. Umscheid, Section Foreman (Continued on page 22)
