Unemployment Checks
Total $45,617.30
♦
Benefit checks to Hood River
county’s jobie&s workers insured
under the state unemployment com
pensation law t o t a l e d $6,037.68
through June 29th, swelling the re
cession cushion supplied the county
since January to $45,617,30.
June checks totaled 50 per cent less
than those sent here in May, ac
cording to Harry L. Kuck, Informa
tional Representative for the unem
ployment compensation commission,
who paid the Hood River employ
ment office an official visit today.
Claims for benefits filed at the
Hood River office reflect the same
conditions. Berry picking and start
o f the valley fruit season have com
bined to reduce new claims to an
average of 15 per week during May
and June. The continued claim load
also has diminished gradually from
397 during the week ending April 2
to 206, week ending June 4.
Commission graphs presented by
Kuck shows, however, that 30 per
cent more money has been returned
to jobless insured workers in Hood
River county than employers con
tributed to the fund during 1936 and
1937. Up to June 1, benefits exceed
ed these contributions by 11 per
cent.
Hood River county employers con
tributed on payrolls totaling $1,157,-
360 during 1936 and $1,395,472 during
1937. September, 1937, was the big
gest month in employment covered
by the state law, with a total of
$251,039 reported. The lowest month
was February, 1936, with $43,134.
The bulge in employment and pay
roll curves during September, Oc
tober and November reflect increas
ed activity in the canneries. The
lumber and timber products group
show comparatively steady activity.
Agricultural workers are not cov
ered by the unemployment compen
sation law, but cannery workers are.
Elimination of this big group of
workers in the valley leaves most of
the benefit checks going to lumber
and sawmill workers.
Figures
brought here by Kuck show 93 per
cent of the benefit checks during the
first quarter of 1938 were taken by
four industrial classification groups :
lumber and timber products, 58 per
cent; contract construction, 23 per
cent; food manufacturing, 6 per
cent; and wholesale and retail trade,
6 per cent.
The commission survey on indi^ry
has not been completed beyond the
first quarter of 1938. Distribution of
reconciled checks by major indus
trial groups to April 1 shows the
following participation in benefits
from administration of the law:
Contract construction, $2,741; food
manufacturing, $718; lumber and
timber products, $6,796; miscellan
eous manufacturing, $106; interstate
railroads, $177 ; transportation other
than water, $53; communications,
$43; utilities, $15; wholesale and re
tail trade, $744; automodile sales
and service, $145; hotels, eating
places, $72; personal services, $10;
amusement - a n d recreation, $68;
total, $11,682.

Portland Boats
Anchor Near
Eagle Creek
♦
Six cabin cruisers arrived at Eagle
Creek near Bonneville on the even
ing of July 3, and cruised in to the
picnic grounds where they anchored
for the night.
They returned to
Portland the next day.
The Eagle Creek anchorage has
been created by the backing of the
waters of Lake Bonneville up Eagle
Creek, and is an ideal harbor for
river boats.
Boats at the anchorage included
the cabin cruiser “ Eva-B” with Mr.
and Mrs. A. B. Sparks, daughter
Janet, and Mrs. Eva B. Sparks,
mother of Mr. Sparks aboard; the
cabin cruiser “ Viking” of Portland,
with Mr. and Mrs. L. Hartwig,
daughter, and a party of San Fran
cisco guests aboard; Cruiser “ Aqua-
Duck” of Portland, owner H. B.
Caldwell and family, Mr. and Mrs.
Albert Kirchgraber along as guests;
the Cruiser “ Golden Anchor,” owned
by Leslie F. Page, who was accom
panied by Mr. and Mrs. Albert A.
Page and Mable Harnden; and a
small cabin cruiser owned by Mason
Dillard and family, with the Dillard
family and guests aboard.

Special Cargo
To Be Shipped
On Sea Liner
♦
While the S. S. Charles L. Wheel
er, Jr., when she docks at The Dalles
Saturday, will carry a limit cargo
of 1500 tons, around 100 carloads,
the outbound cargo will be more
symbolic than real, in so far as ton
nage goes. Plans call for filling the
extra refrigerator space with a few
boxes of the finest fruits of the Mid-
Columbia country, to be forwarded
as gifts to officialdom of San Fran
cisco and Los Angeles.
Orchardists of the upper Hood
River Valley have been asked to
pack some of their finest cherries
for forwarding on the west-bound
voyage of Captain Peter Lund.
Officials of the Mid-Columbia-Bon-
neville Seaway Association have
written to Ricco Bros., stock raisers
of Dixie creek in Grant county, near
Prairie City, asking that they send
one of their “ gobblers of the golden
gizzards” to Mayor Rossi of San
Francisco. Ricco Bros, three years
ago began raising turkeys in a big
way, their flocks reaching 3,000 an
nually.
Over in that rich gold
country of Grant county, chickens
and turkeys, ranging over the gold-
bearing bars often pick up nuggets
as grinders for their gizzards, and
housewives of that country always
search crops and gizzards. They are
often rewarded by discovery of val
uable nuggets. That brand name of
the Ricco turkeys is based on actual

incident of frequent occurance and
not legend.
It has beevn suggested that the
“ Golden Gizzard” gobbler be allow
ed to roost atop the Wheeler’s mast,
but Captain Lund, perhaps, has
heard that some of the boys at Hood
River and White Salmon may have
a yen for turkey meat and might
pick him off when they pass under
the center span of the inter-state
bridge.
