With the crack Baker high schoof
team eliminated after it had won
its way into the finals in the high
school basketball tournament and
looked like a sure winner in its
scheduled game with Salem for
the title tonight, the dope bucket
has been completely upset and the
question of the state championship
will probably not be decided until
the final whistle has sounded on
the last game tonight.
AS the situation now stands four
teams of nearly equal strength are
to battle during the afternoon and
evening for supremacy. Four more
closely matched teams than those
of Salem, McMinnville, Franklin
and Molalla could hardly be pick
ed.
Salem's defeat of the Eugene
team by the score OF 2S to 21 yes
terday afternoon gives the locals
a slight edge over the McMinn-
vile five, which they meet this
afternoon. But Sale mand Nc

high school officials from various

ing $1O,0O0,O0O, fix dates for public
hearings regarding the individual

The state law provides for the
certification of irrigation district

interest. Ex-Governor West points
out that $93O,OOO of Teel irrigation
district bonds, so certified and
guaranteed, are in the hands of the
public and selling below par, and
that work has stopped on this pro-
ject, with no immediate prospect
Of 1t being renewed,

Jury Decides
In Favor OF
erFaIls Co.

Verdict in favor of the defend
ant in the one hundred thousand
dollar breach of contract suit
brought by the Silverton Lumber
company against the Silver Falls
Timber company was returned last
night by the jury after four hours
of deliberation.
The case was one OF the largest
civil suits ever tried before a jury
in Marion county and involved a
sum of S103, ,801.6O damages claim
ed by the Silverton company for
the non-delivery of certain logs OF
the Abiqua basin and Silver creek
timber districts.
The defendant was allowed the
costs of the case which were con-
siderable since 22 witnesses were
examined. twelve attorneys were
employed and IT took two weeks
of the courts time.
The lumber company claimed
that il lost S15.426 owing to the
delivery Of totally worthless logs
which II was forced to accept and
run through its mill. An item Of
S2s.15O for an excess of Gull logs
amounting to 5.e30,OOO feet was an
other cause for suit; $4,000 dam
ages were claimed on Irregular de-
liveries; $4,000 for delivery Of logs
20 pond and log deck where both
places were fun and thus resulting
in INJURY to other logs; $4,000 for
at certain times.
Immediately upon the plaintiffs
filing the complaint the timber
company filed a counter claim OF
$4,000 for the delay and holding
upof cars during deliveries BY the
silverton company.

Mediation Is
New Plan to
Avert Strike
Davis Hopes to Keep
Packers Employees
On Job; "Big 5" Has
Conference

i Washington, March IL. - Per-
sonal mediation to avert strike
of meat packers employees will be
attempted by Secretary Davis of
the labor department, it was in
dicated today, if both sides sent
representatives to Washington as
he has requested. 1t is understood
that he does not intend to delegate
the responsibility to the board OF
conciliators, but will himself con-
duct the negotiations which it was
not believed would require the
further attention of President
Harding.
Mr.. Davis, it is understood, will
seek to bring the parties to an
agreement and is not likely to sug-
gest any specific compromises.
The department is awaiting with
especial interest the reply of the
packers in view of the reported
statement by Secretary Lane of the
employees union that the strike
would not be called pending dis
cussions, If the packers would
agree to suspend wage reductions,
scheduled to go into effect Mon
day.
Conference Scheduled
The ''big five" packers con
ferred throughout the morning
without reaching a decision as to
what attitude they would take on
Secretary of Labor Davis request
that they appoint two men to
meet with two employees repre-
sentatives in a mediation confer
ence with the federal labor de-
partment with the view of avoiding
a strike of stockyards workers.
Another conference was sched-
uled for this afternoon and it was
said that a formal reply to Secre-
tary Davis suggestions would be
sent him before nightfall. Failure
of the department of labor's medi-
alton offer in the packer-labor
dispute to set a definite date for
an arbitration conference and lack
of assurance that the packers
would send representatives to
Washington left the strike situa-
ton unchanged today. according to
union leaders here.
Assurance Is Asked
The telegram sent by Secretary
of Labor Davis to the Amalgamat-
ed Meat Cutters and Butcher
workmen and to the packers last
night offered the departments
services of mediation and request
ed two representatives from each
side to go to Washington. No
definite date for the conference
was set and Dennis Lane, secre-
tary of the butcher workmen, said
that the strike balloting would
proceed.
A request that a date be set and
that the union be given definite
that the packers will
have representative present will
be asked Of Secretary Davis today,
Lane said.
Meanwhile the strike ballots are
on their way to every local in the
country and the vote will be TAX
en- simultaneously on Wednesday,
March 16. There is no question
of what the result will be-" Secre-
tary Lane said

The trouble, which started short
