URGENCY
WORK ENDING
With men being laid off on emer
gency work, but with additional
men coming into the county court
every day asking for work, appear
ances now are Irom what county
road officials can hear that the
state emergency work will be closed
down entirely around March 1.
In event this occurs the court ex
pects the best that it can do with
providing emergency employment
until spring work opens up In earn
est will be what little work can be
opened up on small district jobs
and these will go as far as possible
to needy men in the localities where
the work is provided.
Every man who shows up now Is
being told to get out and rustle
what work he can as the indications
all point to a gradual shutting
down on emergency work instead of
a continuation of it.

DEATH IS ALLY
Washington, (Pi Death was rep
resented Saturday as a friend of
the democrats In congress all be
cause the republicans nave been in
power so long.
A widely-known student of con
gressional mortality. Dr. Arthur
MacDonald, of Washington, said
the democrats have the best chance
to organize the next congress. All
death has to do Is to continue cut
ting down senators and represen
tatives at the same rate as In the
past ten years.
Dr. MacDonald added that from
the republican point of view an
early extra session will be more ad
vantageous. "Relatively," MacDonald said,
"the mortality of republicans is dis
tinctly greater than that of demo
crats. The republicans have been
In power much longer than the de
mocrats in recent times, they are
therefore older and naturally more
deaths occur among them."
Figures of the retired Phvs c an
showed the ratio of republican
mortality in the hotce over the de
mocratic was 4 to 3 8. taking the
lo-year average. In the senate, the
ratio was 7 to 3.
Dr. MacDonald Is Internationally
known as an alienist, physician and
writer on medical, statistical and
sociological subjects. He was for
many years a specialist with the
united States bureau of education.

LOCAL PRICES
FOR EGGS DROP
TO NEW MARK
Local egg values reached their

ter class practically unrecognized.
The only grading for fresh extras

is alter the eggs leave the original
purchaser and go Into the commis
sion or retail merchant's hands.
Plentiful supplies are available
due to the fact that hatching re
quirements are probably 60 to 80 per
cent less in the local producing
area mis year. A few far-sighted
poultrymen, banking on bright pros
pects for next year when the current
laying stock Is about exhausted, are
ordering to-the-limit chicks, but the
most of these orders have already
seen booked, so that no great In
crease in orders can be expected
irom now on till the end of the
hatching season.
The low buying Drlce. while some
what lower than the average small
retailer will pay directly to the
producer, represents the general
sentiment of the trade despite an

to see an Immediate improvement
in tne situation.

PAY ALL BILLS
Portland, (IP) The city of La

B. Cherry, city manager, said here
Saturday in commenting on the loss
of about $112,000 through alleged
misappropriations of the former
city treasurer, Mrs. Emma Fowler,
who is held In jail.
Cherry, who is checking up Port
land angles of the case with Dis
trict Attorney Helm of Union coun
ty, said La Grande s finances were
in good condition, save for tills
loss. He added that the loss will de
lay taking up of outstanding war
rants and bonds.
Cherry said the sum probably
will be made up through extra mil
lage levied over several years, with
Union county taxpayers ultimately
paying tne bill. He indicated
grand Jury Investigation might be
demanded to determine if any
other city official knew the money-
was being taken from the city.
Circuit Judge Luck, Multnomah

WASHINGTON
SENDING FOOD
Seattle (IP) United States senat
ors Saturday added their Influence
to the proposed movement of Wash
ington state foodstuffs to drought
areas In Arkansas, and It appeared
that many carloads of food would
soon be moving toward the stricken
slate.
In a telegram to the Seattle Star.
Senator T. H. Caraway promised to
have the Arkansas division ot the
American Red Cross pay for rail
road transportation, while the Un
ion Pacific has already offered to
"deadhead' the sh.pments If asked
by the Red Cross.
In answering Senator Caraway's
telegram, the Star suggested that
the Red Cross be asked to pay some
additional expense of packing and
loading the foodstuffs which have
been promised. Ten carloads of
fruits and vegetables have been
pledged by a Yakima commission
merchant, but the cost of packing.
sacking and loading would amount
to approximately 100 per car. There
will also be some freight hauling
necessary to assembly of footstuffs
from various parts of Washingtoa
The state grange. Individual far
mers, commission men and merch
ants were coojieratlng in the move
ment to donate food.
TO PAVE 12 MILES
OF MARKET ROAD
When the matter of asphalt for
market road paving for the coming
year was brought up before County
Koadmaster Johnson Saturday It
was Indicated that probably about
12 miles of market road will be
paved the next season the same as
last year. The total work last year
was In excess of that mileage be
cause of work done for the city by
the county. To what extent such
work will be done by the city this
year is not yet known.
It Is the plan of the roadmastcr
this year to put the county purchase
of asphalt on a competitive bid
basis, the bids probab.y to be based
on certain specifications, He Is of
the opinion that with prices gener
ally com in? down there should be a
reduction in the cost or asphalt
for pavitii? purposes as well as In
ether commodities and that this part
of the paving costs should be fairly
well reduced the comin? summer.
