LOCAL EMPLOYMENT
OFFICE IS AFFECTED

The federal employment office in
Pendleton is to be closed after March
22nd, according to the notification re-
ceived this morning from Wilfred
Smith. federal director. by N. Berke-
ley, superintendent of the local Of
flee.
While the local office will be closed
officially on the 22nd, it does not ne
cessarily mean that the office will re-
ally close, as Mr.. Berkeley stated to-
day that he will continue the office
pay or no pay as long as there seems
to be a demand for 1t on the part of
the public.
The action of the department in
closing the office has been caused by
the failure of congress to make an ap-
preparation to care for the offices be-
fore adjourning. Mr.. Densmore, head
of the employment service has noti-
fled the office in Portland that the
maximum possible expenditures to be
permitted in Oregon, beginning March
22nd, will be $29, 900, and instructs the
office to reduce the number of em-
ployes to Is. Employees who desire
may be furloughed indefinitely on
non-pay status, making possible rein
statement when funds are available.
With the good weather of the past
few days there has been a greatly in
creased demand for labor through the
Pendleton office. and to close 1t at the
present time would be shutting it off
at the season when its need is grow
ing.

court and a number of members of
the Baker Commercial club are to be
in Pendleton tomorrow to confer with
W. l.. Thompson, acting chairman of
the state h 'ghway commission, and NJ.
o. Bennett. district engineer.
The purpose of the Baker county
delegation is to get the road work
in Baker county beyond the prospec-
tive stage and under way. The coun-
ty, state and federal governments
have agreed upon the work to be
done and the manner of doing same.

to the final details of letting the con-
tracts.
The Baker -Cornucopia highway be-
tween Baker and the mining camp of
Cornucopia is the road the delegation
is most vitality interested in at this
time. This is road that the devel>
opment of Baker county demands in
the immediate future. 1t will give an
outlet to valleys where there is a pop
ulat'on of more than 1000 people and
where there is no railroad and but the
poorest kind OF wagon roads for an
outlet. The valleys are over produce
ing their present market facilities,
and until such time as improved roads
are secured conditions in Eagle and
Pine valleys can change but little.
The Baker people to be here for the
are: Judge William Du-

w. C. Calder. chairman; Bert ingalls,.
Mr.. Gunderson, Huntington; Eld-
ridge Lottridge, Harry Bowen, MEM
bers OF the highway committee of the

Atlantic fleet, writes to his sister Miss
Alice Ffnnell f this city from Guantan.

whole blattle ship fleet is in the bay
Following are extracts from the let

1T is as hot as bitten and there

cactus covered hills with here and
there a cocoanut palm but the sunsets
and sunrises sare the most beautiful
You can imagine.
THE whole battleship fleet is here
some "a big battle wagons-and 1
don't know how many destroyers,
tugs and sub chasers, as well as the
hospital ship, Solace. Then there is
fleet of subs with their mother
ships. The bay is small and at night
it is some sight when they are all lit
up.
THE Atlantic fleet is here for target
practice and maneuvering and that is
our reason for being here as we are
a repair ship and follow the fleet
wherever they go.
The swimming here is great. The
water is SO warm. We have swim
ming call every day at 4:S0 p. m. just

should see the splashing. Last week
they wanted to get the names of all

bids CALLED FOR
EXTENSION

The state highway commission has
called for bids for paving on the Pen
dleton-Walla Walla road, starting at
the end of the present paving near
Adams to a point where the road al
ignment is to be changed about two
miles beyond Athena according to an
announcement of w. l. Thompson,
chairman of the commission, made to-
day. This contract will be let at the
same time as the contract for the
paving from Milton to the state line
BY letting the larger contract it is
felt that lower bids will be secured,
as the overhead expense of the sue
cessful bidder will be proportionately
less.
This will leave only a little over ten
miles of the Walla Walla road un-
paved to the state line, and a num-
ber of changes in the alignment of this
section will be necessary before the
road can be paved the entire length
