Ice In this state. The shipyards set tbe

unskilled worners In Oregon are re

hours of work, with extra pay lor over

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. Kust. superintendent
of the federal employment off tea there.
The prevailing wage for unskilled labor
there Is given as 14.50. The situation
In Astoria Is similar.
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. It is
reported.

From personal Investigation of both

and from the statements of engineers,
he cites the fact that the "high pass'
route not only Is S.9 miles shorter than
the "low pass, but that the low pass "

Track Parade to Be Feature.
CITEHALIS. Wash.. Aug. 20. (Spe
cial.) Judging of cattle herds at the
Southwestern Washington fair was
concluded and the decisions were an
nounced yesterday. 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. On the front
of the but la a state map showing
the number of Washington counties
that now employ nurses to look after
this class of health work. Miss Vogel
has discovered a number of tubercular
rases in Lewis county and all are re
sponding to her treatment.
The "shlp-by-truck" parade, to be
stared by the auto truck dealers of
Chehalls and Centarlia Friday, bids
fair to be a great success. Last even
ing W. S. Harrah, N. A. McEachern and

the Chehalls and Centralia truck

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 ' ... '. gene-Florence project. It is unfair and un-
.cnj-.c-oiiu ave- Jugt to counties such as Linn. Douglas,

At present there are about 0 men In

construction ot a purely local road In Lane
county that by comparison of assessed valua
tion and financial ability Is Iuliy able ts
care for its own thoroughfares.
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.
