WORKERS REAP BENEFITS Excellent Living Quarters and Fair 'Treatment Revolutionize La bor in Western Washington. CENTRALIA, "Wash.. Oct. 23 (Spe cial.) From filthy living quarters, drudgery and drunkenness to neat and healthful bunkhouses. compar atively short working hours. good wages and practical luxuries, are the changes in the logger's life observed by Norman F. Coleman of Portland, president of the Loyal Legion of Log gers and Lumbermen, who paid a visit to the logging camps of western Washington. "An important change has been the marked increase In wages, which has placed within the reach of the logger comforts and luxuries that formerly were denied to him." said Mr. Cole man. "I visited a logging camp re cently in which there was a long shed housing about 27 automobiles owned by the workers in the camp. Another camp received regular monthly visits from three tailors taking orders for clothes. One of the men told me the lowest figure he heard mentioned for a suit of clothes was $85." War One Cause of Change. Mr. Coleman said the war was one cf the causes of the change. "There are in. our camps, now, many men who went overseas, stood in trenches and stormed slopes, served guns in the artillery, or fought enemy airplanes in the clouds," he said. "These men cannot be expected to settle down to the life of unthinking drudgery that characterized logging camps of former times. "The first lodging I ever saw was done with horse teams that pulled short pine logs upon trucks with chains. It was a simple process and It was slow. The last I saw hauled were fir logs 100 feet long to the logging railroad by a 1 1-4 inch cable with a pull of 60 tons. The cable ran out to the logs at the rate of 100 feet a second, the choker whip ping and smashing its way through the brush; and the log oh its way to the track of the thickness of my body as if they had been nine pins. "There has been a wonderful change In the mechanical process of logging. An equally amazing change has taken place in the logger. The human fac tor calls for as much study as the mechanical. IMoneer Logging; Severe Test. "Not long ago I talked with a log- Cing superintendent who began In the Maine woods 30 years ago. He told me the way men were handled: how they were divided into crews and the work of the crews compared at the end of each day; how the men would listen to the reports as they were given, and if one crew reported 150 logs, the rival crew would report 151, and then go out the next day ond break their backs to get In a few extra logs to make good; all because the boss had made an offer of a mackinaw coat or a pair of boots to each member of the top crew at the end of the season. "Their superintendent, laughed at the memory of their stupidity in working so hard. The human factor was simple in those days. There was no labor problem. "The worker had a strong back and a weak mind. He wasn't supposed to think. He worked very long hours, rolled into his bunk .at the end of the day, slept heavily, and arose in the morning for another long day's work. This went on until 'the close1 of the reason, or some convenient holiday gave him excuse to draw his V t pay and seek the nearest town to go J on a glorious spree till his money was spent. Then he returned to the t old round of 'work and sleep and eat.' y Prohibition Great Benefit. I. ; "One of the most important changes -; in the logger's life is the decline of the drink traffic. A powerful in fluence has been social and industrial J propaganda, which has furnished the V worker with farts and figures, with - statements and theories that have set - i thorn thinking over the problems of I Industry and politics. In the old ' days men competed In telling obscene I i stories, now they sit on a train of J", losrs and figure the probable profits " of the company. I "Plain business sense dictates pro- ' ; jrresslve movement in logging opera- lions in three directions; Kirst. there ti must be frankand free recognition J of the human needs of the worker. f The tip-to-dato logging camp is ' "marked by the single steel cot, the ' vompany bedding, clean sheets and . t pillow cases, shower baths, drying , ' rooms; laundry tubs, hot water, so- cial halls, books and magazines, a r- ganirs and moving pictures. i' "A second line of development is a. In the direction of recognizing the S ; crker's rights to a voice and a share in determining the conditions and the : rewards of his toil. Already many of I the larger and more prosperous com panics are encouraging permanence .'"" In their working force. "and are re- ' cognizing the helpfulness of co-operative organization with their em- r ployes. Workers Trained in lunomj. "Directly connected with this move- -- merit is a third which seeks to de- velop in the worker a sense of re- sponsibility for the success of the i operation. The driver of a logging "encine in one of the Washington ' f camps told me that there was enough r -wasted in that camp in gas, oil, cable .i find tools to make increased wages J for the men and increased profits ' f"f the company. I have heard the ; ...samp story in every camp, a story of ; ' f ' reckless waste which the industry . , has been able to endure in the past ' hy reason of its enormous supplies y cf timber and the increasing demand , v for Its products. Thoughtful ope rators, however, who have studied the mounting costs and the dwin ; f' dllng profits of recent months are ; recognizing that the old, wasteful , .' methods must go. ; ; "In the past eight months I have i i i had long talks with loggers, both em i f 'plovers and employers and employes.

BY ADDISON BENNETT. JUNTURA, Or., Oct. 23. (Special.) I am pretty well towards the eastern end of Oregon, in a section that prob ably not one in a hundred of Port land's citizens is familiar with. AW though I have been in here at least a dozen times during the last 15 years I know mighty little about the various communities of Malheur county, the second largest county in Oregdti. The "magnificent distances" are entirely too great and too "magnificent" for the casual visitor to grasp. Juntura Is on a branch of the Union Pacific railroad. .This branch ' runs westward from Ontario, and enda at Crane, in Harney valley. Nobody sup poses a great corporation like the Union Pacific will be willing to allow a railroad to end in a little valley town like Crane for any great num ber of years. It is a pretty well settled understanding that this road would have been constructed on west to con nect with a road or roads running north and south ere this had not the war stopped all railroad building; and now it will sure not be many years until it makes such connection by building less than 200 miles. It would then be a real and paying road;' now it is a stub which probably has never paid a dividend. Juntura Important Station. . Juntura is 74 miles from Ontario and 53 miles from Crane. It is one of the very important stations on the road, which is operated by the Short Line. This town is only about six years old. It. is in one of the finest and most fertile little valleys in Oregon. I It is surrounded by great fields of al I falfa, for there is plenty of water to irrigate every acre in the valley. It is he're that the north fork of the Malheur river comes down from Agency valley and Beulah , to the north, and unites with the middle fork of the same river, which flows in from the west. Up the. valley of the north fork there is a good wagon road; veering off of that road a few miles up from here another fine road leads to Drewsey, and both of those roads lead to the main road from Bend and Burns to Ontario, w'.iich road will eventually be paved and be the main artery of travel from the western part of the state to- the Snake river country. It will thus be seen that Juntura has a large tributary country to the north, northeast and northwest. But that is riot all, for here another valley opens up from the south and supplies are from here furnished to many ranchers and cattle growers almost down to the Nevada line.- Not only cattle but sheep, for this is a great sheep country and Juntura is one of the largest wool shipping points in Oregon. Timber Quantities Vast. There would be, a fine future In store for Juntura were her resources to stop right there; but there is some thing of great import beyond that the timber in the mountains to the north, fine pine timber in vast quan tities. That timber will certainly be on the market soon, and It must (note the word must) come down to Juntura to reach transportation and a market. So in the very near future you will see great sawmills here, and eventu ally you will see logging roads run- ning up Into the mountains, ' 30 to 40 miles to the north, and Juntura will be one of the finest and largest towns in far-eastern Oregon. I am neither a prophet nor the son of a prophet, but it does not take a prophet to get such views. All that is needed is to get an accurate idea of the country, of its streams. and its mountains, 5ts timber and its outlet.- A town which is to become a city should . be buildcd upon a sure and stable foundation. That is Juntura. While tt is now but a city embryo, it is a city beautiful and a city or town of wealth and substance. I could,, were you here, take you in 10 minutes to a great stone quarry on a hillside where fine building stone, as fine as there is in the union, can, be quarried and sent down to the town by gravity. Many of the buildings here, notably the bank and railway station, are built of that stone.. ', ' - Then I could take you to the general store of the Juntura Mercantile com pany, Andrew Graham; manager, and show you the "finest store and the largest and best displayed stock of goods that any town of the size in the west -has. Then we might step into the drug store of Henry W. Welcome, where you would see one of the best equipped drug- stores that any city of less than 5000 population in Oregon has. , - - Depot Building; Handsome. The- depot building, of the same stone, is a gem, even more handsome than the station at Bend. -.And there is. the fine garage of Baker & Hop kins, and the nice little Hotel Dargel, of which Mrs. Henry Dargel Is the proprietor, and the general store of Daniel Gallagher, who is also post master. There are all sorts of otner establishments, but come out with me ,again and let us go out and view one ol the finest school buildings in east ern Oregon, and a fine Catholic church and a Presbyterian church. But last, and best, let me show you some of the' finest little homes in Oregon. - '"'e Willi take first those of Henry Wel come, the druggist, and Dr. William E. Hedges, adjoining each other, each occupying a space of 100x150 feet, with as fine lawns and hade trees as can be seen anywhere, and garages and 'orchards In the rear. I will not go further, for this ft al ready too long, but I can tell you that Juntura is a place of beauty,- a place of wealth, a place of big business and a place which seems to me certain to be at no distant day a place of great importance and large population. But I will say a word more. Will say that the Juntura people think they have the best station agent In Oregon, Louis P. Delsole; -and Louis thinks he has the best station in Ore gon, for he has been offered numer ous promotions to larger stations but he and his estimable wifehave pinned their faith fast to Juntura, among a people -they love and are loved by. DRUG DEALER CONVICTED WEALTH!- CHINESE FACES 15 TEARS IX PRISON. ' 7 . Cannery Owner Declared to Have Sold Drugs on Large Scale and Made Fast Deliveries. Fifteen years in federal prison, cou pled with a fine of 56000, is the max imum penalty that may be given Chu ey Sinn, wholesale dealer in morphine, cocaine and smoking opium, who was found guilty by a federal jury yes terday morning on three counts for violating the Harrison narcotics actJ Chuey, a cannery owner and business man of reputed wealth in Chinese circles , in several cities on the Pa cific coast, made his headquarters in Portland and dealt in drugs here on a large scale, refusing to furnish any small quantities, and carried on his operations for a long period, accord ing t,o the testimony adduced at the trial- Chuey operated here with the aid of a large limousine that was identi fied by purchasers and with which he made deliveries in isolated portions of the -city. His home at 95 . East Twenty-fourth sereet North was used as a wholesale warehouse,- according to federal operatives who confiscated a large quantity of drugs there in a raid last April. His place of business in the new Chinatown in North Port land was used merely as a headquar ters and telephone calls brought a fast delivery service into operation, said addicts who told of making many purchases from him. This is the third conviction that has been had against Chuey, according to Austin F. Flegel. assistant United States attorney, who had charge of the prosecution, the last being five years ago". In internal revenue circles Chuey is looked upon as one of the most dangerous operators In smug gled drugs and in the raid on his home a jacket worn under the cloth ing in getting the forbidden narcotics by the inspectors was seized. Monroe -Goldstein and Ed Fralev. appearing for. Chuey,, took a number of exceptions to testimony and got 30 days in which to file their motion for a new trial. Indications are that the case will be taken to the United States circuit court of appeals In San Francisco. All during the trial Mrs. Chuey and the two children of the couple were present i,n the courtroom. During thunder and lightning the safest-place Indoors Is the middle of a room. j COR.
