MIDDLE WEST BULG|NG
WITH NEW PROSPERITY

Prosperity is evident everywhere
throughout the middle west and is
emphasized especially in the heavy
travel throughout that section and to-
ward the Pacific states, J. B. Knight,
of Allen-Knight Company, said today
following his return from a 80 day
business and pleasure trip to Chicago.
He said that Chicago hotels are brim
fun all the time and that west-bound
trains are running in two sections of
almost solid pullmans, to handle the
unusual amount Of travel.
Milwaukee and ST. Louis, which
were visited by Mr.. Knight, are show
ing marked growth, despite the fact
that their chief industry. brewing. has
dwindled to almost nothing. Their
prosperity is reflected in other cities
nearby.
Automobiles and accessories will not
go lower next year, Mr.. Knight be-
lieves. owing to the strong foreign de-
mand. He met buyers from New Zea-
land, Australia and South Africa in
the automobile factories, willing to pay
any price for their quota of American
made machines for delivery at once.
This foreign trade, together with the
fact that the auto factories will not
increase their output, means continued
high prices to the domestic trade, he
says.

WAGES LOWER, LIVING
MORE COSTLY IN EAST

Wages are lower in the east than in
the west and living expenses are as
high as in Pendleton, says Ray Me-
Carroll whoiwith Mrs. McCarroll and
family returned today from a two
months eastern trip.
In Minot, North Dakota, the home
of Mr. McCarrols brother, Ed McCar-
roll, auto mechanics receive a maxi
mum of 65 cents an hour for labor. in
spite of the fact that living expenses
are high says Mr.. McCarron. He no.
ticed low wages in Minnesota also.
where farm hands are paid $50
month. In Medina, New York, states
Mr.. McCarroll, wages for mechanics
We're 81 an hour, which is better than
wages paid in any other section OBJ
served. He noticed that clothing was
higher in price than in Pendleton.
In visiting Kansas City, st. Louis.
Chicago, Medina, St. Paul and Mime
apolis, the travellers experienced some
cold weather. Mr.. McCarroll reports;
In Minot and in Minnesota, the mer-
curry dropped to 46 below and later to
50 below. The McCarrolrs visited On
tario but found that the weather was
not so cold in that region. A pecuI-
iarity of the cold snap in the United
States, he noted, was the absence of
much snow.
Montana stock are suffering from
the extreme cold he states and Mon
tana stockmen have resorted to feed
ing Russian thistle. North Dakota is
not suffering from hay shortage, says
Mr.. McCarroll. u
A great interest is shown in the
Roundup by the people of Minot. Mr..
McCarroll says, and the commercial
club is planning to send special car
to the 1920 show.
While in Minot the local man boxed
with Walter Lunke. light heavyweight
champion of the Allied forces and
knocked him out in the sixth round.

out change. Only seven people voted
for the Lodge reservations and six bal

Many Republicans Vote.
The party registrations Of those vot-
ing have not been checked over in de-
tail but out of 16S voters whose par
ty affiliations are known. 102 are DEM

Gratis were more united in voting for

days by the East Oregonian and every
effort was made to insure a fair test
OF sentiment. Those who voted sent
in their ballots of their own initia-
five using their own stamps, etc.

in over the counter but the bulk of the
vote arrived by mail with one or two
votes in an envelope.

invited to serve as judges. The mayor
accepted but was detained and the
ballots were counted by Mr. Hartman,
aided by Miss Elsie Fitzmaurice and
