.BLINO NAN IS central" /"
Ed Chap man, Who Is Totally Blind
Telephone Central at Pilot Rock.

Total blindness has not prevented
Ed Chapman from holding busy and
important position in Pilot Rock, says
the East Oregonian. Mr.. Chapman,
although blind from infancy, is now
operator for the central telephone
offices in Pilot Rock and handles that
position with ease and ability.
He makes calls, goes as messenger
about the little town and keeps his
financial affairs perfectly straight, al
though he cannot keep written record.
He ties knot in twine string for
every messenger call he makes and
thus keeps his account segregated.
He is able TO go 10 any house in
Pilot Rock and very seldom misses his
way or meets with accident. He op-
crates all the lines between Pilot Rock
aud the south part of the county and
also the line connecting with Pendle-
ton. Mr.. Chapman was reared on
Butter creek and is about 38 years OF
age.

PACKERS ACTION
WILL INCREASE
MEAT PRICES

Chicago. May N.-Meat prices in Chica-
30 may jump skyward this week. The
packers notified the commission firms that
beginning today they no longer would
stand the loss on condemned cattle, and
in order TO protect themselves, they have
found II necessary 10 refuse payment on
'cow stuffs' until II has passed the
government inspectors.
During the latter part OF last week
thousands OF letters and kilograms were
sent out by the commission men to their
customers notifying them of the action
taken by the packers and advising them
TO withhold all shipments OF cattle TO the
big markets until the difficulty is ad-
justed
This is expected TO cut the meat supply
tremendously before the week is over and
prices are expected TO go up correspond
ingly.
Commission men declare IL is the inten-
tion OF the packers to enforce the rule
with regard to Cow stuff" now in the
hope that similar action may be taken la
ter with reference TO their purchase OF
sheep and hogs.
Some OF the leading commission firms
and shippers have communicated with the
secretary OF agriculture at Washington
with regard to the new actions on the
part OF the packers and IL is said assur-
anoes have been given that any attempts
TO delay payments on livestock as threat
ened by the packers. would result in the
withdrawal OF the inspection service.
