Financial quarters attributed the
apathy partly to fresh concern over

of further governmental restrictions

HISTORICAL DATA
mm WPA
Complete Catalogue of All
Historical Records, Loca
tion and Extent Will Be
Made Available to Public
A complete checkup of all types of
historical records Is being made In
Jackson county In connection with a
survey beng conducted In every coun
ty In the United States, The work
la being done under the WPA Orgon
writers' project and will result In &
complete catalogue of all historical
records In existence, where they
may be found and their extent, con
dition, etc.
Denh Alfred Powers of the Univer
sity of Oregon Is directing the work
in this state and Alfred Segsworth of
Ashland is In charge of the Jackson
county activities. Segsworth Is being
assisted at present by Verne Bright,
who travels over the state siding local
workers for short periods as a rep-1
resentatlve of Portland headquarters.
Gain Much Information
Those employed In the project
make an exhaustive search of all old
files, Including county, city, organisa
tion, Individual family and other
types of data. Much valuable and In
teresting information hitherto un
known or forgotten concerning early
Oregon pioneers and their activities
has been recovered by this project.
Many official records In the stale,
according to Bright, havo boon found
In very bnd condition, insufficiently
, protected against fire and theft or in-
efricilently filed, facta which might
eventually lead to their permanent
toss or destruction. Project workers
make an effort to Induce better care
of the flics and more complete rec
ords.
Each record Inspected Is reported to
Portland headquarters, with complete
Information ns to title, department,
dates end number of volumes, de
scription of contents, nature of re
cording, condition and other perti
nent facts. Following completion of
the surveys, the records will be Bum
mart red and compiled Into complete
catalogue indexes, to be published
and placed In libraries, stato offices
and other official flics.
New Names Added
Many new names and Incidents
have Already been added to previous
knowledge of early Oregon history and
a number of puzzling points cleared
up. Expectations are for the acquisi
tion of much additional material be
fore the work Is completed.
Similar work is being done through
out the nation, the project having
been started last March. Workers
are drawn from the higher education
brackets, most of them being college
graduates.
Records Inspected Include Informa
tion concerning births, deaths, mar
rlnges. law enforcement, early gov
ernment, ttrowth of Oregon cities and
towat, arrivals and departures, in
ventiona, roads, institutions, elec
tions, official reports, finances, fran
chises. Agreements, contracts and
much other data of historical sig
nificance. Outside of the general Information
being added to public files, the com
pleted catalogue will present to his
torians or individuals seeking Infor
mation a list of all records available
and where they may be found for
more detailed study or research.

PORTLAND, Ore,, Nov. 20. (AP)
Dun & Bradstreet said today that
retail trade continued In the post
week to show the effects of the mari
time strike and unseasonable weather,
although most divisions held a 10 to
IS per cent Increase over 1036.
"The expense resultant of the ne
cessity of having to transfer by rail
to Canadian ports for sea shipment
Is causing considerable loss to pear
and apple growers" the report said.
"Vegetable and fruit cannera also are
suffering materially from the marine
strike, a large portion of thts year's
pack remaining in storage awaiting
for both foreign and coastwise ship
ping facilities. -
