F R I D A Y , M A Y IS, 19S8 THE BO NN EVILLE DAM CHRONICLE T H E F T FOILED BY GAS MAN © M R S. W M . MUNROE Democratic Candidate for State Representative © Impartial Representation Martin Smith, said by police to have escaped from the Yamhill coun ty jail, carried on some of his antics in this region Saturday, only to find himself outwitted by police and resi dents of the Mid-Columbia. It seems Smith, 19 years old, had escaped at night recently from the Yamhill bastille, and was making his way east by the stolen car route. He abandoned one car two miles west of Hood River, came into town on foot, where he is reported to have taken possession of a car owned by Carl Engle, of Hood River. Proceed ing east, he stopped for gasoline at the Lew Riggs service station at Rowena. Riggs, suspecting all was not well, disconnected a wire from a spark plug when he was checking the oil, thus slowing the possible speed of the car, then followed the stolen machine into The Dalles, where he notified authorities. Engle’ s car was abandoned in The Dalles, but Smith was found at the eastern end of town trying to continue further by the thumb route. He confessed the thefts, it is said, and was re turned to Yamhill County. Unemployment Compensation Total $30,517 H ow e Electric Co\ Hood River, Oregon DODGE & PLYMOUTH SALES and SERVICE J. F.

LUSK Salem, Ore., May 9—Four months administration of the unemployment compensation law distributed two and one-half million dollars to eli gible jobless workers in Oregon, and claims handled by the Hood River office brought $30,517 to this section. This was 1.2 per cent of the total. Portland maintained its position at the top of the list with 46 per cent of the total b< nefits paid and On tario replaced The Dalles at the foot of the d’str.bution ladder with .8 per cent. Processing of claims and benefit payments are reaching current status rapidly. Checks are now going out at the rate of 20.000 per week and 73 per cent of the more than 65,000 claims filed have passed for pay ment. Many unemployed workers are receiving their 15th checks this week. Average per check is $1182. Less than 7 per cent of the total claims received are either incom plete or in the computing process. The other 20 per cent have been denied due to labor disputes, sea- sonability, insufficient earnings in base year or because earnings in the base year were in occupations not covered by law.

Here’s the story: He bought a piece of real estate and accepted an abstract of title which was not made by an abstract company maintaining a com plete set of abstract books. Five years later, after building a very fine home on the prem ises, he attempted to sell his property. The prospective purchaser would not accept for his attorney’s examination an abstract made by a company which did not possess a a complete set of abstract books. A new abstract was ordered and the true and complete record of the chain of title, proved to be unmerchantable. In order to give a good title, the owner was forced to bring a suit to quiet title, and when he paid the bill he remembered the old adage about experience being an expensive teacher. Safeguard your Investments in real estate. Insist that the ab stract of title upon which you and your atorney depends, for in formation concerning the chain of title, is made by a company with a complete set of tract indexes.
