GOLD HILL, Jan. SI. I.ato last week the workmen employed on the annex to the high school building here came to a sudden stop when they were unable to get a pay day. The contract taken by II. E. Adams, was drawn for approximately $12,000. to be paitl in quarterly installments, the third quarter coining due some lit tle time past. This enstnllment was expended before the work was very far advanced toward the finish and the last quarter could not he drawn to pay off the labor bills. The workman quit ting brought the whole thing to a head in a hurry. The bondsmen. Major Smith, Geo. Patrick and Joe Perry im mediately hmtstigutcd and found (hat the estimated $12,000 was not enough lo meet tho hills when the work would be completed nnd will face an estimat ed loss of about $-100 each to complete the building. At a school meeting this week the board went over the whole proposition carefully In an effort to relieve the sit uation, but there will he about $1200 to raise before the contract is complet ed. This the school district will not have to do so it falls on the bondsmen. B. E. Adams has not given out any particular statement us to the cause of the trouble beyond the unexpected high cost of labor nnd material. Listening to every source of informa tion we could find a great deal of con jecture, but littlo fact and In summing up the cause of tho failure in meeting the bills we find that tho labor ques tion is tho one great thorn in the side of the contractor on this job. Mr. Adams was busy on two contracts at, the same time. Building the two extra slurry tanks at the cement plant took a great deal of his time and not being able to devote sufficient time to the school, the labor simply got away from him. In an effort to catch up on the mounting expenses Mr. Adams borrow ed about $12o0 on his home whirh was all used up. Ho has never imiuded one penny of the money in his hands for his personal use as wages nnd is by far the heaviest loser of tho lot. In nn effort to complete Mil- Job with honor he hns volunteered to work until the building is entirely complete with out cost. Homer Adams, whom R. E. Adums put U: charge of the labor end of the school oonnari and drew d wn iS. 00 per day d;'- ini; 'he whole con tract will work with !' E. Adams in completing the b;iJc:n'-; at $5.00 per day.

W. Walker Auto Co. period, Hie term "llooverle" implied retrenchment, but in the present drive, on a peace basis, the term is a broad hint to "shell out" in behalf of a most worthy purpose, the emergency being great under pitiful circumstances.
