At the election last month the city of Hood River rejected the proposal to organize a PUD, thus eliminating itself from' the project.

New Circuit Coses The Screen Reveals A Young Not the Great Emancipator but the backwoods lawyer who boys, had an endless fund of funny stones, fell in love with a country met his first challenge in a “moonlight murder case—this is.the Abraham Lincoln that has never been told. Darryl F. Zanuck brings it to the screen in his memorable produdkxrof “Young Mr. Lincoln,” featuring Henry Fonda, Alice Brady, Maqorie Weaver and Arleen Whelan. The film is a Cosmopolitan production for 20th Century-Fox Fewer transients sought jobs in Oregon this year than usual, accord ing to John Cooter, farm placement director. During the first six months this year, Cooter points out, there were only 17,585 out-of-state work ers registered with the state em ployment service compared to 32,563 registration* during the first half of 1938. More than 55 per cent of the farm* in Oregon now enjoy electric service, according to a survey just completed by O. R. Bean, public utilities com missioner. Bean's figures show that 33,770 Oregon farms are now being served by private electric utilities. This is an increase of 4559 fanhs during the past year. It is estimated that another 200 farms are served by the three municipally operated elec tric plants while no figures are avail able on the number of farms being served _by the Rural Electrification administration. After a visit to Sacramento and a conference with budget officials of that state David Eccles, Oregon’s budget master, is convinced that Ore gon ha* much to be thankful for. Af ter the last legislature got through financing state activities, Eccles points out, the state budget was $40,- 000,000 out of balance. This deficit, which does not appear to worry Cal ifornia officials at all, is three times as great a* the total of appropriations approved by the Oregon legislature. With 35,000 people on the state’s pay roll, California has a personnel de partment which does nothing but hire and fire employees of the numerous stat* department* and institutions. This department operates on >ja bi ennial budget of $500,000, an amount sufficient to operate almost any of Oregon’s state institutions. Multnomah county stand* to lose more than $115.000 a year in highway revenues through the amendments written into the law by the last leg islature. Apportionment of highway revenues for the first six month* of 1939 just completed by Secretary of State Snell show* that Multnomah county this year will receive only $624,235.79 from this source compar ed to $754,453.61 under the former apportionment. Heretofore county apportionments from the highway fund have been based on motor ve hicle registrations in 1931. The new law provide* for the apportionment to be made on the basis of current registrations. Most counties in the state are gain ers under the new apportionment. Es pecially is this true in the case of Marion, Lane, Washington, Yamhill, Malheur, Linn, Lincoln, and Klamath counties. On the other hand, a num ber a counties suffer under the new deal. These include Benton, Gilliam, Harney, Jackson, Jefferson, Morrow, Polk. Sherman, Tillamook, Umatilla. Union and Wasco. For the most part however, these losses are small. In a few instances, notably Polk and Benton counties, these losses are ac counted for, in part at least through a provision in the law which require* that motor vehicle registrations be credited on the basis of the post of fice address.
