AN
Definite About
Strike's
Both the Smith Wood-Products
management and the officials of Lo
cal 2770 gave the same report shortly
before noon today—that negotiations
' are in progress—but there is no
definite assurance at this writing that
the negotiations will be successful
and the strike called off or that it will
be continued.
The union meeting to vote on a
proposed settlement has not yet been
called.
A street rumor yesterday was to the
effect that the negotiations had been
satisfactorily concluded, but this is
not confirmed by either party, and
even it that was the case it would hot
become effective until after the mem
bership vote is taken.

Oregon -Coast Highway bt Llntluii
delivering his annual report, said the
Oregon Coast highway showed a con
siderable travel increase this year
and explained that much of ft was
due to increased publicity. He point
ed out that photo contests, road signs
and wild flower publicity were among
the principal factors resulting in the
increase.
After declaring, “Competition in
tourist travel is becoming keener and
unless something is done we will
shrivel and dry up in competition,”
Sanders distributed a questionnaire
which asked for suggestions on how
further to increase travel along the
coast. He suggested that an auto
mobile emblem to stress coast scen
ery would help.
Before showing
colored motion pictures of coast
wild flowers, he also suggested addi
tional showings of films of Oregon
Coast scenery to service and other
organizations throughout the nation.

Two small grandchildren of Mrs.
Mary Olson bad a narrow escape late
Friday afternoon when the hay barn
in which they were accustomed to
spend the day playing bunt in flame
caused by spontaneous combustion.
Observers report that the bam seemed
to explode. Burning shingles flew as
far as a quarter of a mile from the
barn. For a short time the farmhouse
and outbuildings were threatened by
the whirling brands of flame. A sud
den and fortunate change of wind
soon after the fire started reversed
the course of the flaming missiles and
sent them hurtling toward the Russ
Investment company fields, away
from the Fat Elk road, on which the
Olson farm is located. '
Though the barn was partially cov
ered by insurance, the hundred and
eighty tons of hay, estimated to be
worth a minimum of 31,800.00 was
not insured. The hay continued to
smolder for several days after the
bam had been destroyed.

length, t. . , ■ '

stroke which partially paralyzed one
side. He fell to the ground, helpless,
but managed to get his hand on the
trigger of his gun and «fired three
shots. The road crew, working on
the road not far away paid no atten

the waving of his hand finally at

taken home.
