WHAT HAS SINNOTT EVER
DONE,o', is QUESTION THAT
MAKES THEM SCRATCH HEADS


.'What has Sinnott ever done for
u.s. Is becoming q familiar question
in Eastern Oregon, the query arising
out Of the spirited race now under
way batwecnEt ) aisaes .II4s Gwi,ln. and
MIR. sinnoft for the republican nomi-
nation for congress from this dist
rict On trip TO counties east Of
tmatilla Mr.. Gwinn, who is now
home for a~brief stay, heard that
question asked many times. Almost
universally the question was answer
ed with the reply, Nothing that
can think Of"
Where Idaho Won.
/ In Nlalheur county, which borders
on Idaho. the subject Of how Oregon
has been neglected in the matter Of
reclamation appropriations Is one
that makes people fighting mad
Those people point across to fertile
fields in Idaho and then to their own
desert lands lying 3unreclaimcd be-
cause of neglect. Since federal re-
lclamation was started Idaho has Sc
cured approximately s24,00o,ooo
from the United States government
while Oregon, a much GREATER state
has obtained but $4,000, ,000. NAL
hour people often declare they wish
they were in Idaho so they could
profit by the vigor shown by the
Idaho representatives in congress.
They are not enthused over the al
legged great work done for Oregon
lby the present Eastern Oregon con-
gresham.
Sp0ils Appointments Hurt.
| Another point on which MIR. Sin
not is being strongly grillcd Is the
manner In which he has betrayed
the merit system and the civil SER
vice by making postal appointments
ON a spoils basis. Pendleton is far
from being the only place with d
grievance on this score. The same
situation prevails al la Grande and
at Baker as fwell as at some smaller
points.

LUMBER BUYERS
ENTERING MARKET
Orders Exceed Production ant
Prices Show Tendency to
Become More Firm.

The lumber market is making steady
Lumbevmun. Numerous buyers are
visiting producing sections and go,d
deal of quiet buying is under way. A
good deal Of buying is also being done
at the annual meetings Of retail associa-
tions. some Of which were held last
week, although most will be held curing
the next three weeks.
A survey of stocks in manufacturers
hands does not reveal great deal Of
unsold lumber. While there has been
some accumulation during the last six
weeks in Southern pine territory, stocks
are broken and the present volume of
demand is more than sufficient to lake
care Of current production. AS thece Is
every reason to expect an increase IN
demand, it is evident that the market
faces a period of activity with strength
ening prices.
On the Pacific coast the export de-
mand shows less activity, particularly
that from Japan. The cargo mills, how

that they will not be particularly anx-
ious for special cutting for several weeks.
Yard stocks are badly broken and prices
show decided upward tendency.
In the North Carolina pine district
stocks are badly broken and orders for
such shipments are the rule rather than
the exception. Prices are firm with an
upward trend.
Stocks of hardwoods, both in the
North and in the South, ar. unusually
small. The last year witnessed exsep-
tionally low hardwood production and,
as buying by industrial concerns shows
a steady and constant increase. thcrs is
foreseen an active market that will sJs-

generally are of the opinion that get

penses.

foing up the south side of Main street
and west on streets north of Main
street. Every household is asked to
have bundle of rags. magazines and
paper on the porch as its bit toward
the campaign.
