NOTICE OF HEARING ON FINAL ACCOUNT IN THE CIRCUIT COURT OF THfc STATE OF OREGON FOR JACK SON COUNTY IN THE MATTER OF THE ESTATE or CHARLES M. HALL, deceased Notice is hereby given that the undersigned administrator has filed herein his final report and account, and that February s. 11)50, at 9:30 o'clock A M. In the Courtroom of the above entitled Court at the Court house in Medford. Oregon has been fixed by the Court as the time and place for hearing objections to said final account and for the examina tion and allowance thereof. WILLIAM H. HALL Administrator BUILD Tru-Mix Speeds Work TRU-MIX CONCRETE CO. McAndrcws Road Coal Being In Many Industries Washington. Jan. 26 (U.R) Government and industry figures showed today that coal is being replaced by other fuels to an in creasing extent in homes and in dustry because of the - uncer tainty of supplies. During the past 10 years, the use of oil for home heat has more than doubled while coal use has declined 27 per cent from its wartime peak. In industry too, particularly the railroads, coal is being re placed by oil and gas. Railroad officials said the coal-burning locomotives are being replaced by diesel electric engines "wher ever possible, or economically feasible." Unrest. Major Factor Government officials would not blame the decline on coal use on any one factor, but cited the continued mine labor unrest ai "a major contributing factor to the uncertainty of supply which faces both home owners and industries." Another factor by the govern ment and industry sources for the switch away from coal is the "ease of use" of oil or gas. , "When you've an oil or gas burner," one oil industry spokes man said, "you don't have to haul out ashes. It's easier, and that's one major reason many home owners are switching." Steel industry has always been the heaviest user of coal. It still it, since steel-making requires coke and carbon. But even in the steel industry some furnaces once fed by coal are now burning oil, according to an oil industry source. Utilities Experiment Another major' user of coal has been the electrical utility indus try. Here there has been a mark ed tendency during the past year to "experiment" with gas and oil. The federal power commis sion reported that many major The Grange Roxy Ann Grange This is a special appeal to all Roxy Ann Grangers to attend the "March of Dimes" dance Saturday evening, January 28, at Grange hall. This is truly a worthy cause and all proceeds will go to fight infantile paralysis. Ladies are requested to bring pie or sandwiches for refresh ments. Come, bring the family, friends and neighbors. There will be plenty of good donated or chestral music and all will have a good time. Phoenix Grange There was a large attendance at the January 24 meeting of Phoenix Grange. Initiated in first and second degrees were Mr. and Mrs. Korth. Members were reminded the membership drive closes March 31. Visitors were Master John Gray of Gold Hill Grange, Mr. and Mrs. Roy Cameron and Mrs. Maude Martin. H. E. C. chairman named the next Grange serving committee to be Mr. and Mrs. Simpson, Mr. and Mrs. Armstrong. Harry Reames and Echo Alford. A cleaning day was set for Friday, January 27, at 10 a. m. All at tending should bring a sack lunch and cleaning material. H. E. C. will meet February 15 at the home of Mrs. Dee Hendrick son, 155 E. Stewart, for cov ered dish luncheon. Ways and means committee announced an old-time .dance January 28 with music by Keen er's orchestra. H. E. C. ladies will furnish refreshments. The lecturer has plans for open house meeting February 7 at the Grange hall at 8 p. m. Members were asked to bring sandwiches or cookies. There will be a soil conser vation meeting here Thursday, January 26, at 8 p. m. A meet ing of peach growers is sched uled for February 7 at 1:30 p. m. at Grange hall. Phoenix Grange will sponsor a fund-raising project for the March of Dimes the evening of January 31, the place to be an nounced later.

WITH Concrete Saves Money Phone 2-5271 Replaced electrical utilities, including some in New York, Boston, Phil adelphia, Connecticut and the Chicago area have tried using both gas and oil during the past year in addition to or as replace ment for coal. "They have Installed dupli cate equipment, so that on an hour's notice they can switch from coal to either oil or gas," the FPC reported. "In some in stances they are using coal dur ing the week and oil or gas on week-ends, to cut down their costs. Some have switched from 100 per cent coal to using no coal at all." The Consolidated Edison corn company, New York, one of the nation's largest utilities, report- en that availability at all times and a "stable labor situation in the oil industry" are. the major reasons for the company sb'ft away from coal. Farmers Of Texas Lead Nation In Dollar Earnings Washington, Jan. 26 (U.R) Iowa farmers, long heralded as the nation's richest, have drop ped behind Texas and California growers in dollar earnings, the agricultural department reported today. The department said Texas topped all states in money col lected by farmers from market ings of farm products during January-November, 1949. Cali fornia ran second. Iowa Third Down in third place were Iowa's farmers, who led the field with an all-time record high cash total in 1947. Iowa was barely edged out for the lead by California in 1948. For the nation as a whole. 1949 farm marketings brought farmers about 10 per cent less cash than the previous year. The drop is continuing. The depart ment estimated today that farm ers this month will get about 10 per cent less from marketings than they received during Jan uary, 1948. As for 1949, officials said the final state-by-state total of farm ers' cash receipts for the entire 12 months probably will not be compiled for another month. The final figures are not expected to challenge Texas' leadership. First Time For Texas It was believed to .be the first time that Texas led the field. In the previous nine years, Iowa had held first place four times, Cali fornia five times. Texas Jumped from third to first place with a record 1949 cotton crop. This came at a time when prices for hogs Iowa's principal farm market item had fallen considerably below 1948 levels. Texas was the only major farm state in which 1949 cash receipts exceeded 1948.

"THE CLASS HOUSE" U HQS COUtT 4 MAN! ANITA 2-5231 Slight Losses In State Employment Picture Recorded Salem, Ore., Jan. 26 (U.R) Although manufacturing employ ment hi Oregon in December was 1,400 more than a year before, slight losses in construction and service industries brought the number of all non-farm jobs down to 416,200, the state un employment compensation com mission reported today. That showed a drop of 2,700 from December of 1948. A gain of 5,900 in lumber or wood prod ucts employment was responsible for the higher industrial figure. Lumbering Leads The new series of employment estimates, based upon current re ports of a representative sample of employers all over Oregon, was prepared under a co-operative program recently entered into by the commission and the U. S. bureau of labor statistics. About 30 per cent of Oregon's non-farm workers were employ ed in manufacturing witli one industry lumbering account ing for 73,700 or 60.2 per cent of the 122,500 total. Other durable goods, including furniture, machinery and metals, declined slightly during the year. Little change between November and December was shown by "other manufacturing" with lum ber and canning and preserving accounting for the seasonal drop of 7,400. Printing and publishing was the only non-durable group to report more Jobs than the previous month or year. Holiday hiring by retail trade and governmental agencies was responsible for a 30-day gain of 2,300 in non-manufacturing lines, although the total of 293,700 was 4,100 below December, 1948. The Christmas mail rush added 2,500 persons and merchants hired 3, 200 additional. Seasonal layoffs in construc tion affected 2,100 workers. The December report of 20,000 was 2,400 lower than a year before. Transportation and utility em ployment was estimated at 43,000 in December, a decline of 600 from the previous month and 2.800 from a year ago. Most of the decrease came from inter state railroads and transportatio services, while utilities ren--1,000 fewer workers.
