fore Mr.. Nelson died, brought suit to
have the provisions Of the will set
aside.

HOW HE GETS AROUND

Andy 7. Barnett, mail carrier on
route No. 2 out Of Weston, thinks he
has to use more varieties of locomo-
tion now than any other carrier in
the United States. He encounters
washed out and muddy roads in the
lowlands and deep snowdrifts in the
mountains. The result is that he
makes ten miles with car, two miles
with buggy, eight miles with a
sleigh and ten miles with buggy
again, reversing his trip every 9TH
er day in order to keep his rigs in the
right location. Tuesday he travelled
part of the way on horseback and
added a further touch of variety.
These kind of times from nine to ten
hours are occupied in getting around
on route only thirty miles long.

SHORTAGE OF LABOR
IN OREGON IN NEAR
FUTURE IS PREDICTION
Peak Of Unemployment Situation
Passed Late In January--Roads
and Logging Operations Begin.

With the passing of the peak of
the unemployment situation late in
January, conditions are now improv-
ing, and it will not be more than two
or three months until there will be
a shortage Of labor in Oregon. This
was the statement made by C. H.
Gram, state labor commissioner
During the latter part of January,
Mr.. Gram said, there were approx
imately $1,000 men out of employ
ment in the state. Of this number
11,000 of the unemployed were in
Portland, while the remaining 5000
were scattered throughout the state.
Although hindered by snow, Mr..
Gram said, reports reaching his office
indicated that many Of the
larger logging camps will be opened
for operations early next month. This
industry, he said, will absorb more
than 80 per cent Of the unemployed.
This will be followed early in May
by road construction operations. This
work, Mr.. Gram estimated, will re-
quire Is per cent Of the unemployed.
The spring demand for. farm help,
coupled with q revival Of summer re-
sort activities, will more than absorb
the remaining Is per cent.
Giving impetus to labor operations
in Oregon during the next year will
be the distribution Of several mil
lions Of dollars in soldier loans, Mr..
Gram said. Practically all Of this
money, Mr.. Gram said, will be expen-
ded in the erection of new hemes and
other improvements. AS a, resultyof
this, carpenters and other building
operatives will be in great demand,
and wages should be satisfactory

American Legion Post
Would Ao|dsa Smoker

Among the important matters dis
cussed at the regular meeting, Of
Athena-Weston Post, American Le-
gion, Monday night, was the pro-
position of giving smoker in the
near future, possibly during the fore
part of the coming month.
It is understood that the city coun-
Gil has given the Legion Post per-
mission to hold the smoker, and it is
expected that one main boxing bout
will be on the program, and in ad-
dition to this couple Of preliminary
Scuts will be staged.
For the main event, it is probable
that Buddy Stevens of Pendleton will
meet young Handron Of Adams, and
for the preliminaries. names Of the
participants will be later announced
The smoker, which will be the first
to be sponsored by the local post,
will be held at the Legion Hall in this
city.

Stanfie|d Threatens
Cannon For Libel

Boise, Idaho dispatch says that
Miles Cannon, Idaho commissioner Of
agriculture, announced Sunday that
he would welcome suits against him
for criminal libel threatened by
Senator Stanfield Of Oregon.
The Capital News Of this city Sum
day printed special dispatch from
Washington to the effect that Senator
Stanfield had instructed several sheep
companies in Idaho and Oregon to in
stitute libel suits against Commits
sioner Cannon because Of published
statements by Cannon that these COM
panies had failed to pay for hay and
feed furnished in the spring of 1921
and that many claims had been filed
with his department. Senator Stan
field also advised the managers of
his companies to consult attorneys
concerning possible action against
Cannon on the grounds of criminal
libel, the dispatch said.
When this dispatch was called to
the attention Of Commissioner Cam
non Sunday, he said: Il am prepared
to make sensational disclosures if this
matter is pushed. I made the reports
with regard to the Stanfield compan-
les strictly in accordance with the sta
tutes and the evidence submitted to
my office. / have rot published half
the evidence in my possession, and
am not particularly worried over this
threatened action for alleged criminal
libel"
Section 2059 of the revised Idaho
statutes under which Commissioner
Cannon is acting, reads:
"The department of agriculture is
directed to investigate all cases re-
ported to it wherein a producer Of
agricultural products or livestock has
suffered loss in the marketing Of his
products, or has failed to receive a
fair, just and reasonable compensa-
tion by reason Of fraud, injustice, ex-
tortion, manipulation or profiteering
on the part Of Others"
