carnsntsrs are Not to Be nsd.

Pendleton-There is a scarcity of car
penters in Pendleton. This is the sea-
son for repairing old buildings, but
workmen cannot be secured. A num-
Der OF people are desirous of construct
ing homes, but owing to the scarcity of
men and materials, it is not likely any
new buildings will be started until
spring. There are from Is to 20 build
ings under way, and carpenters are
busy on all of them. 1t is estimated
that there are fully 800 carpenters at
work on new buildings in different
parts of the city.

End Fruit Tree ShIprlng.

Milton - The season for shipping
small fruit trees has closed. 1t is esti-
mated that l2,500 trees have been
shipped out to all parts of the west,
middle and eastern states during the
past two weeks About 10 cars have
been shipped in the past 10 days. AS
the season was short this year, many of
the smaller trees had to be expressed,
as it would delay matters too long to
send them by freight. Samuel Miller
has one of the largest nurseries in East
ern Oregon, and there are several fruit
men who have small nurseries.

MIGHT CAUSE MONEY PINCH.
Question About Paying Out the Price Of
the Panama Canal.

Washington, Nov. 19.-With the ad-
ministration definitely committed to
the building of canal by the Panama
route, and having brushed aside all inn
mediate consideration Of Colombia as a
factor in that purpose, the important
question now confronting the president,
the cabinet and the Republican, leaders
in congress are whether they can pro-
ceed with the work under the Spooner
amendment, adopted at the last session,
or whether ii will be necessary to enact
new legislation throughout.
Senator Spooner was at the White
House today, but would not say wheth-
er the question was discussed
The most important question for the
treasury Is the expenditure 81 $50 .000,-
600 n cash that is authorized under the
canal amendment Can this amount
be paid without unsettling financial
conditions to some extent is a question
being asked. The total available cash
balance Of the treasury department
few days ago was 1928, l44, 399, but OF
this vast sum $173, 1928, AGA was in ma
tional bank repositories throughout the
country. That makes total of about
10000, 900 in the treasury proper.
Thesamount will probably change in
favor OF larger cash balance by the
time this country gets to the point of
doing business and making canal pay
ments, but it will not be above $780,
900 900 at the outside unless the trans.
action is long delayed.
Traditions declare that there should
always be in the treasury department
proper $50, 900, 900 with which to meet
possible emergencies. 1t is admitted,
however, that the amount could safely
be treduced to $40,000,Q 900 or less.
OF the amount with national bank de-
positories and carried as liability to
the treasury, there is large sum to
the credit OF disbursing officers. This
could be reduced and the treasury
could probably use for the canal pay
ments $50, 100000 out Of the funds
now in hand. But this would leave
$40, 900, 900 to come from the deposits
with the national banks. How serious
ly the withdrawal of this sum would
disturb the financial and commercial
interests of the country is now being
carefully considered.

Tillamook-A disastrous fire occurred
