Kugene will be the only city in
Oregon, outside of l'ortland, to en
tertain the parry of 75 eastern re
tail lumber dealers, touring the coast,
it was announced last night at the
meeting of the Lane County Chap
ter of JToo Hoo Lumberman's club.
The visitors will be here February
28.
A committee to plan the program
of entertainment for the lumbermen
will be named. The proposal includes
entertainment at golf, visits to nearby
sawmills, trips to the McKcnzie fisn
hatchery and scenic spots in the county-.
If the party stays over night a
banquet will be given.
R. L. King, general superintendent
of the Tortland division, Southern
Pacific railway, spoke on the pros
pects of installing a lumber scale,
either at Springfield or in Eugene.
James Mulchay. assistant traffic
manager, spoke on the Gooding bill
before congress.
settlement, even though every paper
in my possession has been examined
by a committee of the council, ap
proved end the correctness certified,
to by signature of the committee
members, and even though consider
able compromise has been offered.
Why has it been held up?
1st. Itev. Skilhred, with whom I
made separate agreement as my co
worker, instead of sending a notice,
as he promised me tbe 9th of July,
to those whose notes were due the
1st of July, 1924, and ask them to
settle with me so that we might get
our commission, he seut a card of
tbe same date to the same persons
asking tbem to make settlement with
Lloyd Martin. Isn't that double
crossing ? .
2nd. The next day he threatened
to make it bard for me to obtain
settlement of the commission, and he
baa been able to make his threat good
so far. Can such a threat proceed
from an honest heart filled with the
love of God?
8rd. At a "board" meeting he at
tempted to oust me from the organ
ization wbon I protested against di
verting the incoming money from the
work into other channels than first
to pay the commission.
4th. The 25th of September I was
in writing notified by him that a
council meeting waa to be held 7:30
p. m. next day to consider my "col
lection documents." Mrs. Hammer ;
and I went but were told to go out
of the council meeting in the church. :
A e went out.
5th. In response to the following
pleading in writing: "Don't you rea
lize the disgrace and the harm at
present and for the future to per
sons, organizations and work, if these
matters are not settled without fur
ther delay," to which he answered
with grave accusations. A number
of other efforts were made to settle,
but without avail.
To the Trinity Lutheran congrega
tion I wish to say that you according
to your constitution retain the high
est power and authority and that the
.council is accountable to you for its
actions. Since that is bo, I ask you
respectfully to direct the council to
settle at once for the following reas
ons; v -'
1st According to invitations,
promises,- . agreement, production,
heavy expenses for myself and Bev.
Skilbred, loss ..of time and money,
working,, waiting, pleading, praying j
for a peaceful, settlement since in
July, 1924. I surely ought to be en-
titled to a peaceful and honest settle-I
ment at once without any further)
trouble. j
2nd. We have surely suffered j
enough on account of this - awful
trouble in various wnj-B, even my wife
from the time she met Rev. Skilbred
the 31st July on the streets of
Eugene and being told by him that I
was in "danger" with the whole coun
cil against me and that it would be
unpleasant for us to live here any
longer, as though it would be safest
for us to move out right away. She
became frightened, downhearted and
overpowered by sorrow, 'so that rent
at night was turned into anguish. The
doctor asked mc, has she had sor
row? .
3rd. Since tbe ' commission is to
be tnken out of the fundsi I obtained,
it is not one cent out of tho con
gregation's -treasury to have it set
tled. If the trouble is kept up in
one form or another, no one enn an
ticipate whnt it may lend it in various
ways.'. k
4th. According to your constitu
tion you have made the word of God
the rule -of life ' The word of God
condemns withholding rewards for
work agreed upon and urges pay
ment without delay, thus: "In this
day tbous shnlt give him his hire,
neither shalt the sun go down upon
it, lest he cry against thee unto Je
hovah, and it be sin unto thee."
"The hire . . . which is of you kept
back by fraud crieth out," etc.
5th. Ilnsn't it caused stir and
shame and disgrace enough among us.
Why should it be continued? I have
been pledging for months to turn
over tlie papers upon settlement of
the commission and I hope I will not
be pleading in vain with you.

Mr. Hammer Makes
Statement on His
Suit as Entered

Ice wus printed in the public press
ot this city about a lawsuit commenc
ed hy "The Chnrity Board of the
Lutheran Brotherhood" to obtnin
cash and notes in my possession
claimed to he held illegnlly. and since
the facts are not generally known,
friends of mine hnvo advised mo to
publish a statement.
The mil of July. 1023, Rev. Skil
bred invited me thus: "We have

so much work stored up for you.

LEGION POST TO
SPRINGFIELD, Ore., Jan. 17.
(Special). rians for a big smoker
to be given orrthe evenng of January
30, Friday, with the business men of
Springfield as guests, were lnid last
night at a meeting of the Springfield
post of the American legion in the
Woodman of the World hall. The
campaign for membership was also
begun, when the stx memoers of the
48-s challenged the other 70 mem
bers of the legion. The losers will
servo the winners with a dinner at
the close of tho drive.
Tho jackpot, which now amounts to
$14 or more, was not claimed, since i
the owner of the lucky seventh name j
drawn was not present. It will remain
an inducement for the presence of all
members next time. i
Four new members were initiated
into the Ladies' auxiliary of the le
iAn nost: Mrs. Hoy Holveraon, Mrs.

rood and I decided to move to Eu
rme with my family, nnd we came
here the '.'nth of August, 1023.
Since it took some time before
any work was arranged, I indicnted a
couple of times to Itev. Skilbred
that I would look for some other en
fakement to .which he answered, "No,

Home for which you are to be man

following authorization, not from the
"I'hnritv Board," who sues, but from

Thrift Week: The Inspiration for Even More Impressive
Economy Offerings In The M. & W. January Sales
Poor Richard Advises
The Shopper
This is thrift week, anniversary of tho birth of
Benjamin Franklin, exponent of thrift and the
most widely quoted man in the world. Tho writ
ings of Franklin have been translated into more
languages than the works of any other writer of
any time. -
A notable phase of Franklin's philosophy of thrift
is his emphasis on WISE SPENDING. "The use
of money is all the advantage there is in having
it" and "To spend wisely is the first step toward
thrift and prosperity.
To buy what you need at the most favorable price
is thrift. Our January sales offer unusual oppor
tunities to practice thrift. In every department
