had obtained It and the various sub

prive her of her roll. She told me

Boston firm OF lawyers. In It was the
announcement that her uncle, whom
she had not heard from since a child,
had died, and in his will had left her

Like as not there are several
dollars laid away in the store
room-maybe there's a $1,000 hill
in the cellar or the attic.
These sums of money are not
ia gold or paper money. but they
represent the cash value Of dis
used or obsolete furniture, car
pets, draperies. stoves, baby car
riages, refrigerators. or other
home furnishings that have been
put to one side and forgotten.
Why not realize cash for such
things or exchange them for more
needed articles?
The Want Columns have been
found by many housekeepers to
be very effective in many home
economies, including realizing
cash for home fixings or exchang-
ing articles Of home equipment

II. d. Newell, Project Engineer, Says
Actual Work Will Begin Soon as
Camp Equipment Can BE Gathered
Many Additional Men Will BE
Employed in Warmer Weather.

The commencement of work upon
the west extension to the Umatilla
project in the west end of this county
will not solve the problem of how to
give work to the states unemployed,
according to a statement made this
morning over the telephone by H. d.
Newell, project engineer Because
Of climatic conditions. the only work
that can be done at this time, he
says, is the digging of canals which
will require teams and teamsters only
and, inasmuch as the people living on
the project have the teams, the labor
necessary will be selected there.
Engineer Newell stated that actual
work would commence upon the
project just as soon as the camp
equipment could be gathered togeth-
er. He anticipates that nothing can
be done this winter except the dig
ging Of some of the canals. "As soon
as warm weather comes" he said
I'VE can employ many men on the
work but not until then as the clim-
attic conditions forbid. Local people
here will be given the preference al
this time as we need their teams and
they want the worI.''
