Key industry of that region is lumbering and prosperity rises and falls with it. Here is what the law- makers were told: In Oregon and Washington forest products provide <40 per cent of the | payrolls. On June I, 1939, there were 240 mills running 40 hours a week and employing 30,000 employ es full time; another 11,000 were working three or four days a week in ’80 mills and there were 130 mills shut down and 19,000 workers unem ployed. For the last three years 50 cents of every dollar received by the millmen has gone for wages averaging 75 cents an hour. Every million feet of hnnlter sold represents $12,000 In wages; employes 20 men for 100 days. The industry In it»- two states in 1937 paid $03,500,000 in wages; paid $52,000,000 for materials, Kup- plies and services, paid $75,- 000,000 In freight to trucks, rail and water carriers; paid $5,000,000 in tax«*«. Construction tn 1938 in the United States was 3.2 billion dol lars compared to 6.6 billion dol lars in 1928. I^ast year more than half (53 3 per cent) of all con struction was so-called “public.’’ Private construction is in the depths and the government has been stepping into the breach with its public works program.

A full thousand? Ye«, and another thousand right in after ’em! Such was truth and not a hungry bum’s dream the other day when the /Ashland Poultry and Egg company here ship- jwd two one-thousand lots of dresM*d birds to San Fran cisco. George Frohrich, man ager of the local firm, had purchase«! the turkeys from near Eagle Point for the off- seitMon trade in California. Following dressing opera tions—which is some ¡ticking, if you ask th«* feather-jerkers at the plant on Water street— th«* birds were ship|>ed by re frigerator truck to the metro- politan market. Pending ship ment, they were laid out in a large refrigerator room at the Ashland ice plant and they looked, at a glance, like an awful lot of light and dark meat. Last month alone the Ash- land Poultry and Egg com- pany bought, dressed and shipped more than I 90,000 ¡>ounds of poultry, in addition to many hundred dozens of eggs which Frohrich buys, candles, grades and distrib utes. The local business, which in scope is considerably more ex tensive than the average per son realize«, furnishes retail and whole-sale customers with a single dr«-ss«*d fryer or a carload of them. All the fowl loving gourmet must do is tell George how many, and the pickers start snatching the birds bald.
