bers of the commission said , hero
Taesdar when called. Into confer
ence; by; Governor Norblad. ,
. The governor summoned the
eosunlsslon .-: as an 1 emergency
ataasure to prorlde labor, II pos
sible, for men who otherwise wlu
be idle daring the winter. While
the highway commission saw, no
oaslbllltr of addtlonal bonds and
v added construction projects solr-
.lag the sitnatlon, because of wet
weather In western Oregon and
hard winter weather In the higher
eastern Oregon districts, the com
mission was of the opinion- that la
- various parts of the . state are
- email stretches . of. , highway on
which 'w Inter work can be carried
a, tod It agreed to pat crews at
' .work on. these as tar as, possible.
May Shift Federal -
AM to Ontario
Another possibility of an alter
ed policy that woald b beneficial
both to the highway program and
t the unemployment situation, it
was" said, ; would be to shift the
federal aid mileage eastward from
Bend on the Bend-Barns highway
to. the highway from-Barns to Ontario-.
Each of " these proejets - If
about 1SS -miles in length. The
advantage of the shift lies In the
' fact that some winter work Is pos
slbleon the Burns-Ontario route,
but sot on the Bend-Burns high
way. The commission got the eon
eat of Governor Norblad to Join
It la petition the federal bureau of
public roads to make the shift.
- 'An added argument against the
Issuance of additional bonds was
the delay that Is necessary in get
ting a sew project under way even
after It la approved by the high
way department, which would
make It impossible for additional
projects to benefit labor this win
ter. J
It was stated that the police of
the commission at present is to
issue only enough bonds to match
federal money. This year this
amounts to about $1,900,000, and
it will be abont $1,500,000 tor
each of the two following years.
Last Contract on
Coast Let Soon
Relative to the program for im
mediate work it was stated that
the last grading contract on the
Roosevelt coast highway will be
let by January 1, and that con
struction on that highway con
tracted by that time will aggre
gate about $1,127,000 or $327,
00 state and $500,000 federal
money. Before the end of 1932,
It was said, It will be possible to
travel the entire Roosevelt high
way on a graded surfaee.
Senator Joe Dunne of Portland
sent In a telegraphic protest
against farther bond Issues un
less contract should provide that
only Oregon-made materials be
used and only laborers employed
who had lived In the state at least
a year. To this the commission re
plied that . this already was Its
policy, and that laborers and ma-,
terlals from outside the state that
Dunne claimed to have observed
were on federal aid Jobs, the fed
eral governmet not recognizing
state lines.
Ben T. Osborne and Gust An
derson" of Portland, representing
the State Federation of Labor,
urged the commission to adopt the
eight-hoar day as a definite policy
aad require contractors to lire up
tto it. The commission said It had
log used this policy, and that most
of the violations of the principle
'were on oiling contracts that
could not be held to a rigid eight
hours.,

To lose, even for a short time,
the results of one year of work Is
enough to give any on that "all

only a mild description ot the
emotions of C A. Moekmore, engi

spent a most-uncomfortable two
hours In Keizer this morning. Mr.
Moekmore Is making the sanitary
survey of the , Willamette river
from Cottage Grove to Portland.
The record of his work Is kept In
a little book. Not much ot a little
note book, so far as looks- are
concerned, but a most Important
book It seems, since It contains
the only record of his findings. '
.: In coming from Woodland Park
about 7:20 this morning, Mr.
Moekmore lost the little book. -As
soon as the loss was discovered,
Mr. Moekmore returned and the
search began. The record ot one
entire year's work was contained
la the little lost book, which seem
ed determined to stay lost.
' Every foot 'of the road he had
traveled was combed1 but the
book did not appear. Several res
idents of the Keizer community
volunteered to aid In the search
stopped, as did other passers-by,
but their efforts to extricate
Cheatham from the flaming auto
mobile were unavailing.
Coroner William Burns took
charge ot the body.

Idea
, Mr. Howard said that while
be appreciated that traffic was
the major problem to be consld
ered in eonnectloh with the safe
ty program, hie thought the plan
ot education should include all
hazards and that the children
should be taught how to protect
themselves during . the entire 2
boors each day .instead, of dar
ing the three minutes it requires
tor them to cross a street or
highway.
Mrs. Hampson: said the Par-ent-Teaehers

Hop and Berry Pickers are
In Demand, Employment
Agency Announces
. v. By R. J. HENDRICKS
Here Is a new note.1 There la
a great shortage of hop pickers,
and also ot evergreen backberry
pickers, in the Salem district.
On the west side oft the Willam
ette river, beginning a few miles
above West Salem, fov twelve
miles or more, these are many
hop-yards with signs out for more
pickers, -and not nearly enough
are applying. "
A grower told the writer Tues
day that there is a shortage ot
at least 1000 pickers In that dis
tance. And the shortage Is not
confined to that section.
One trouble Is that pickers will
register for one yard and perhaps
for two or three, and not show up,
bat go to some other yard. If they
pick hops at all. This leaves the
owner of the yard expecting his
pickers short, and at a time when
it is too late to till the vacancies
made by the derelicts.
Calls for Belief
May go Unheeded
Evergreen blackberry picking
is' hard work; but it will be Just
too bad If, any are wasted. The

Including the National Air Race events, Richfield

tween August 10 and September 1 ...the greatest1

The money till be needed next
winter, when there will surely

(some of them perhaps Idle now)
asking for charity.
A hop grower told the writer
hi will not he sympathetic with
such appeals lster, when he Is
left In the lurch now, for want ot
people to harvest his crop. "
The T free employment office
In doing all posr'ble to get more
bop and berry pickers; and new
ones are coming every day; bat
not enough, and now is the cru
cial time. .
Probably Enough
Sim Phillips, in charge of the
employment office, thinks there
will probably be enough prune
pickers; though some growers
are still anxious about this. It
is easier to get prune than berry
pickers, or even hop pickers.
Anyway, let the word go out
that there are more Jobs, right
now, in and around Salem, than
there are workers at least more
than there are willing workers.
The shortage of hop pickers
will, no doubt be somewhat reliev
ed soon, If not entirely so, by the
small yards getting through, and
the workers going to the larger
yards, where the picking season
l lonrer- A number of growers
in the Aurora section are already
through picking hops.
