Mill City Area Reports
Progress Upon Dam Site
Mill City Vincent Palmer, head engineer for Consolidated
Builders Inc., states that the main office building which is being
erected at the damsite is still in it's structural stage. Concrete
has been poured and the super structure has been started. Main
offices are being hul.t in the Presbyterian church recreation
Sroom and the upstairs firehall
buildings in Mill City until this
building is completed.
Concrete has also been pour
ed for the large machine shop
at the damsite and work is con
tinuing, however, the strike
which is on at "Timber Struc
tures" of Portland is holding up
trusses for the building.
Another bridge crossing the
Santiam downstream from the
damsight, is being constructed
now and will be completed with
in several weeks. The bridge
upstream from the dam was
completed in mid-May. These
two large access bridges will
be used mainly to transfer heavy
machinery across the river.
A field engineer for CBI, new
on the job, who is in charge of
four or five groups of workers
told of losing sight of his men
one day among the ravines and
dense timber, finally spotting
them after a good walk. Field
men report that during the cur
rent dry spell, dust is inches
thick at the site where ground
has been cleared and leveled.
Housing project for the 18
houses which should have been
completed two months ago is
still being deterred because of
the strike an at the Oregon
Pulp and Paper company in Sa
lem, which is contracted to fur
nish 'lindows for the new
homes. Exterior paint jobs have
been completed on the houses
and interior plastering is com
pleted. Concrete has been pour
ed for the foundation of the two
homes recently applied for and
structure has started.
At the present CBI has 320
men on the payroll besides sub
contracting employment. Offi
cials here state that 50 more
men will probably be employed
at some time during the re
mainder of this year, however,
the peak of employment will
come in 1952 when around 1200
men will be. employed. This will
occur during the summer
months when the concrete is
being poured for the dam prop
er and workmen can pitch their
tents if rooms or houses can
not be obtained. As yet rooms
and a few houses are available
in Mill City, however some CBI
employes commute to Salem or
Portland daily because they say
of the high cost of living in this
section.

Employment Remains
Steady in East Linn
Lebanon Employment re
mains steady throughout central
and eastern Linn county, reports
Fred .Worral, manager of the
state employment office in Leb
anon. Most employers in the
lumber industry have their
crews complete and are encoun
tering little turnover of person
nel. The harvesting of the straw
berry crop was finished in mid
June with approximately 500
pickers kept busy throughout
the season on a better than aver
age crop.
No significant change is an
ticipated in employment oppor
tunities in the area other than
the usual demand for berry
pickers to harvest the cane-berry
crop now coming into full
bearing.
Linn County Expects
Shortage of Pickers
Albany A shortage of cherry
pickers is expected to hamper
harvest operations at the peak
of the season next week, George
Casey, farm labor coordinator
for the Oregon State Employ
ment service here, predicted on
Friday.
Already, Casey said, there
have been orders placed by
cherry growers for some 70
pickers, and less than that num
ber are on hand. A conflict with
the raspberry season peak was
blamed by Casey for part of the
shortage.
Job openings on other west
ern Linn county farms are
scarce, Casey reported. No per
manent farm jobs arc listed
with the employment service
and only a few other seasonal
jobs are available at present.

Forest Spray Job Completed After two weeks spent in
eastern Oregon on the spray job of the forest area on the east
side of Mt. Hood, 110,000 acres of it, Ace Demers, his 10 pilots,
and the 14 planes used on the job (including a converted
B-18 bomber) are back in Salem. A pictorial record of the
huge operation, which attracted not only magazine and news
paper photographers by those from the news reel will serve
to recall for sometime the job that in some instances was 100
per cent effective in budworm kill. (Above) is a picture
taken of some of the planes that were used in the spray
job as they lined up to take off for Wamic, Ore., from the
Salem airport the afternoon of June 5. (Center, at left), huge
trucks and tankers used by Pennsylvania Salt company to
transport the spray from Portland to the landing strip in a
wheat field near Wamic. In the background are some of the
planes used in spraying the forest. (Center, at right), the con
verted B-18 bomber, capable of carrying 1000 gallons of spray
but carrying only 650 gallons on the forest spray job because
of the roughness of the improvised landing strip, as it sprays
solution over part of the forest area. (Below), Leo "Ace"
Demers, head of Ace's Flying Service which contracted the
job. Demers, who came to Salem four years ago with only
two airplanes, now has 30 planes and employs 20 pilots during
the busy season. A native of Illinois, Demers has been spray
ing and dusting crops since 1929, starting in Mississippi where
he did crop dusting in the cotton fields.

Penny says that the business
of cashing in on her old teeth
by tucking them under a pillow
has given her more spending
money than any other girl on

Fare Discount
For Military
A tariff for effectiveness July
1, granting a 10 per cent dis
count on basic airline fares for
all passenger travel purchased
by military agencies, will be
filed by the Air Transport asso
ciation's air traffic conference
on behalf of all U.S. domestic
member airlines, Hal Sweeney,
United Air Lines manager here,
said today.
Filing of the tariff is pursu
ant to an urgent request by the
military agencies-and Is the re-
suit of several months of nego
tiations by the ATA, airlines
and military officials.
Reason for the move, accord
ing to M. F. Redfern, executive
secretary of the air traffic con
ference, is the indication irom
military agencies that such a
discount will result in much
greater use of commercial air
transportation by the military
agencies, which formerly under
agreement were restricted al
most exclusively to the use of
rail transportation. It is under
stood that the agreement with
the rail carriers, which is to re
main in effect during fiscal year
1950, still retains some pref
erential features for rail trans
portation. Drought Cuts Wheat
Prineville, June 25 W) Wheat
in some Deschutes and Jeffer
son county areas may be cut 50
percent by the long dry spell,
County Agent E. L. Woods said
today.
The drought is the worst in a
quarter-century. This town has
had only 2.73 inches of rain this
year, compared to 7.92 in the
same period of 1948.
