Will Make Farm Labor
Survey in Central Oregon
(From Wednesday's Dally.)
Tho lubor situation on tho farms of
Crook mid Deschutes counties la ut
tho present tlmo rather acute, with
tho prospects of growing worse in
stead or bettor, iih the season ad
vances. Tho federal government for some
tlmo has boon considering methods or
relieving this difficulty. In order to
get accurate Information concerning
tho noeda of the farms of tho United
States mid tho avalla.'blo labor supply,
a country-wldo labor survey Is to bo
conducted during tho week or Febru
ary 11-16. This will bo conducted by
iiioaiiB of a quostlounnlro, which
when rilled out, will show tho labor
noeda of each county, tho acreage In
crop, mid tho probable crop strength
or tlio nation by uoxt harvest season.
It may scorn that In rilling out these
questionnaires In times past It. has
boon or llttlo valuo. However, It la
a war oniorgonoy roqttcBt ol tho U. S,
government, and as such, should bo
oarriqd out to tho fullest extent or

(From Tuesday's Dally.)
Ilend as thu situ lor an aviation
school uns suggested by tho Commer
cial club In n telegram sent yester
day afternoon to Colonel George II.
Crabtreo, of the U. H, Aviation Corps
at ripokone, Washington. Colonel
Crabtreo was In Portland last week
on an official inspection trip.
A sunny place Is being looked for
In the northwest In which an aviation
school can be Installed, hut Portland
was found too cloudy and foggy. Tha
officer In speaking of tho prospocts
or Multnomah county getting tha
schools, said, "It Is evident that Port
land and contiguous territory cannot
compete for flying schools owing to
fogs and rain and a minimum or cloar
days. In aviation instruction safety
Is the prime requisite and Portland Is
handicapped."
That Ilend could Mil tho bill Is
thought probable and tho following
telegram was sent by H. J. Ovcrturf,
through which It is hoped to invito
inspection of this territory:
"Col. (leorgo II. Crabtreo, U. S.
Aviation Corps, Spokane, Washing
ton: Note by recent press roports
that you nre Becking location of sites
for training grounds and schools for
United States Government Aviation
Corps. Respectfully call attention to

MILLER LUMBER CO.
WINS IN CIVIL SUIT
(From Thursday's Dally )
Suit for tho recovory of $145.04
and Interest since 191C, Instituted
against George Davis, owner or tho
Portland hotel, was won yesterday
afternoon by tho Miller Lumber Com
pany. A Jury in the Justice court
composed of W. C. McCulston, It. a.
Illaclcwell, Roy Ollson, Walter For
gtison mid R. J. McCann decided tho
case.
Davis had fulled to pay the money
owed on a quantity of lumber and
building materials purchased In tho
fall of 191C, when his hotol was bo
lng constructed. The defendant
claimed that his brother had the con
tract for tho building mid ha was not
responsible for tho lumbor bills.
Vernon A. Forbes was attorney
ror tho plalntirr ami W. P. Myors ror
Mr. Davis.
Tho boys who rilled out tho draft
questionnaires had nothing to gain,
but as you know, tholr hearty and
patriotic support of tho selective draft
measuru has been the wonder or tho
nation and tho civilized world. Ac
cordingly, tho farmers of Crook and
Deschutes counties should tako such
a patriotic vlow or thla labor survey
and put fortli ovary effort to mako It
a success. A 100 por cont return
rrom tho 1100 farms or Crook and
Deschutes counties Is asked for, and
this Is qutto a tusk to bo complotwl
during tho wook of Fobrunry 11-10.
It Is quite likely that tho farming
communities will bo apportioned oft
into small districts,, each under tho
charge or an agricultural council
member and tho work prosecuted
somewhat alter tho manner of tho
lied Cross mid Liberty Loan drives,
lltislness men, school toachors, and
In fact ovoryono can assist In this
work and perform a patriotic service
to tholr country at tho same time.
Tho bouotlts rrom such a survoy, if
successfully and accurately carried
out, will in reality ibo very igretit and
may bo tho means of Inducing tho
government to draft labor for agri
cultural sorvlco on tho farms of tho
Uuitod States.
