In' the lorglna: sections the prevail In wage is 4.50 a day for eight hours, while similar pay prevails on highway work. In some instances road work men are drawing $5 a day for unskilled work. The railroads, which employ from the poorest to the best workmen for their section gangs, are paying minimum of J3.0 a day, and their aver age is well over 14. Wage ! Portland Lower. In Portland the wage scale Is some what lower than In the country, this being due to the fact that many men object to country work and would rather be employed in the city at lia-htlr les wages. Swift ft Co. pay 44 cents an hour for beginners for an eight-hour day and provide a cafeteria and other arrange ments by which employes may obtain meals and articles at wholesale prices. The shipyards continue to be the leaders in Portland, with a minimum wage of 4 16 for men and a beginning w.ihr of 14.64 for those but slightly skilled. tvage increases in the ship yards are forecast for October. l-'.anployaneat Sitaatloa Favorable. At the present time the employment alteration is most favorable. Mr. Smith reports, the manless Jobs and Jobless men being about equal In number. Kveryone who wants to work is busy, he said. A strong demand continues for lumbermen, particularly In the Marsh field section, where several new mills are to begin operations soon. At least 100 men are needed, according to a re port from W. J.

Miners are In demand, as also are laborers upon the roads and for the section gangs of the railroads. At the present time the shipyard situation is dull, but a brisk demand Is expected shortly. In Portland and elsewhere In the state there is quite a demand at this time for male stenographers.

The Interesting fact developed that despite tbe local preponderance of Holstein cattle in the Chehalls- and Xewaukum valleys, that breed waa outnumbered by the Jerseys. Friday will be Chehalia and Cen- tralla day at the fair and the atten dance Is expected to break all past records. Mayor Westover will declare the usual holiday and business gen erally will be suspended. The usual favorable comment Is heard regarding the music heard at the fair grounds. This Is furnished by the Chehalls conoert band, which plays at Intervals in the grandstand during the racing programme. The Lewis County Anti-Tuberculosis league has an Interesting exhibit on the grounds. Under direction of Miss Laura VogeL Lewis county nurse, a hut of the type used by tuberculosis patients has been erected on the east side of the grand stand.

But I am not willing, and will oppose with all my might, having the state shoulder the burden of building this road over a longer and much more expensive route, merely to benefit one town, when this is done at the expense of all the rest of the state." Beaaoa Statement Given. Mr. Benson's statement for the min utes of the commission follows: My opposition to the construction of any part of what Is designated as the Eugene Florence road at this time is based upon the following reasons: road bonding act states: First Section eight or the 110,000.000 "That the first roads to be constructed hall be those ot the most commercial im portance and such as will contribute most to the srowth and development of the state and its various resources." The uncompleted condition of the Pacific. Columbia River and The Dalles-California highways precludes diverting funds for the construction of roads of even secondary im portance, much less of roads of so little value to the state as a whole as the Eu xt- i-u a ' ...

Douglas, Women's Activities MEMBERS of th American Legion auxiliary are visiting all the ser vice men In the hospitals of the city every Wednesday afternoon. Dif ferent committees are appointed each week and they visit the men in groups. At present there are about 0 men In the hospitals, but the number varies from week to week.

The auxiliary asks that any women who care to donate "sweets" for the men telephone the Liberty tem ple. Tbe women have been taking fruit. Jel'.y. conserves, cakes and ice cream.

Engiaeera' Reports Cited. Second My opposition to the selection of the low psss against the high pass be tween the PaclfiO highway and Blachly Is not only based upon personal investigation but upon the reports of engineers; reports of surveys and observations. The report of J. C. McLeod, division engineer, summar ising reports of three engineers, states that the lengtn trom tne macule nignway to Blachly on the high-pass road ts 20.3 miles. The cost of construction totals $311,000. The distance from the Pacific highway to Blachly over the low-pass route, according to the Thomas survey, is 27.2 miles and cost of construction is placed at $4l'3,600. It will be observed the distance in favor or the high-pass route is e.a miles and in cost of construction $112,600. Third It is claimed that the airrerenoe in snowralt between the high and low pass Is an objectionable feature to the adoption of the former location, but aa the differ ence in elevation between the two routes Is only 300 feet and the positive statements of persons familiar with the situation that there le never a period when one route is passible that the other cannot be nego tiated, disposes of this contention. Number Served Considered. Fourth It Is claimed that by adopting the longer road a greater number of people ill be served near the eastern terminus. but when we take Into consideration that this road IS proposed as a through road to Coos Bay and that the principal tonnage to be hauled ever the road originates in i.ake Creek valley east of'the Junction of the two proposed locations, this should not be taken Into consideration. The Improvement of the high pass, as is contemplated In the reports ot engineers, would remove the one barrier that prevents the full use of the important section of the Eurene-Florence road, while the reconstruc tion or the section ot tne low pass proviaea for would only remedy one defect and would necessitate much more expensive con struction before anv other section of the road could be made passable. Criticism of the state highway commis sion by communities that have not received Neighbors and their friends are wel come. see For the benefit of Elizabeth cottage. the home for afflicted babies conducted by the Pacific Coast Rescue and Pro tective society, all the money received tomorrow at the cooking lesson and tea given by Mrs. Ginger at the Meier & Frank building, sixth floor, will be given to help this worthy cause.
