It is a position to which any f young; man might well aspire, but the for tune of politics is uncertain and the ex pense of a direct campaign Is considerable, and Inasmuch as 1 ara not a rich man and have a family to support I feel that I would be better engaged in a private busi ness than in pursuing, at this time the will-o'-the-wisp of politics. In making this announcement I desire to thank many loyal and steadfast friends throughout the state who have already worked In my behalf and I desire to say to" those friends, and to the public gener llly. that I still adhere to the belief that E ON THE SQUARE, THIS IS ONE OF THE BEST PRO GRAMMES WE HAVE EVER OF FERED.

In my recent retirement from public position I feel that I left with a clear record after having j faithfully and conscientiously performed Fish to Be Divided in Two Classes at 23-Pound Line as in Pre-War Days. my duty to the state. SALMON MAY CORD MARK i ri U f!F-4 sths;. " -ill ASTORIA, Or., April 7. (Special.) By far the highest prices in the his tory of the industry on the Columbia river will be paid for Chinook salmon during- the season, which opens at noon on May 1, if the demands of the fishermen prevail. The Columbia River Fishermen's Protective union has set the price at 14 cents a pound for small or cannery fish, those weighing- less than 12 pounds each, and 16 cents a pound for large, or cold storage, fish, those weighing 23 pounds each or over. This is an ad vance of 2 cents per pound for smal fish and 4 cents a pound for large fish over the figure which pre vailed last year. In the season of 1919 the price paid the fishermen by the packers was 11U cents a pound flat for all sizes of fish. The distinction between the large and small salmon which had been in vogue for many years hav ing been drooped during the war period on account of the limited de mand for pickled salmon and the con sequent turning of the great bulk of the fish regardless of size into th canneries. Dividing- Line Rained. In former years the dividing line between the two classes of fish was 23 pounds, but in re-establishing this distinction the union has set the line it 23 pounds. Members of the union, which is composed of gillnet fishermen, assert that the conditions prevailing at the present time warrant the increased prices asked. They say the cost of all supplies, which the fishermen re quire has advanced materially and so has tht selling price of the canned fish. In support of this contention, the fishermen aver that a few years ago when they were receiving from 7 to 8 cents a pound for salmon twine from which their nets are knit cost 31.15 a pound, while now that twine sells for 34.05. and gasoine, as well as other supplies, have advanced pro portionately. On the other hand, say the fishermen, Columbia river spring packed tails are now quoted in the Kew York market at 317 a case. Packer Have Safe Margin. At 14 cents a pound, the new price asked for cannery fish, the fisher men claim, the raw fish for a full case of salmon will cost the pack ers only 39.10, leaving them a wide margin for profit after deducting the expense of packing. These prices will be submitted to the packers, who will hold a neeting to consider them dur ing the latter part of the month. PATROL CUT DISPLEASING DECISION OF ARMY GENERAL STAFF IS PROTESTED. MR. BUTLER WITHDRAWS DA I. L1CS MAX WILL NOT SEEK STATE SECRETARYSHIP. Oregvn Organizations Declare Lim itation Will Xot Provide for Crgent Needs. Protests against the announced de cision of the United States army gen eral staff to cut the Pacific coast air patrol for forest work this season to 21 planes, a number agreed by every one here to be absolutely inadequate to he urgen needs, were wired o members of he Oregon delegaion in congress yeserday by eeveral organ izaions. Among hese were he Oregon Sae Chamber of Commerce, Oregon Aero club and Oregon Fores Fire as sociation. Announcement of the change of at titude upon the part of the army gen eral staff was carried in a dispatch to The Oregonian from its Washing ton bureau, published yesterday morn ing. Previously a report by Colonel H. H. Arnold, recommending the es tablishment of six squadrons of 18 planes each, had been approved and it looked as though the Pacific coast forests would be adequately guarded by air this summer. District Forester Cecil said yester day that a strong effort would be made by him to obtain a more favor able decision from the war depart ment and that he will not give up until he has done everything possible to bring this about. He conferred with F. A. Elliott, state forester, yes terday .urging him to see Governor Olcott and to enlist his aid. LIGHT RATES TO GO UP Patrons of Municipal Plant at Cen- tralia Must Pay More. CEXTRALIA, Wash., April 7. (Spe cial.) First reading of an ordinance raising the rates to patrons of the city's municipal light plant was passed yesterday by the city commis sion. The increase is necessitated by a recent increase in rates charged the city, granted ' to the North Coast Power company by the public service commission. The Increase to patrons. while not sufficient to entirely meet the power company's raise, will, ac cording to one city commissioner. keep the local plant out of bank ruptcy. The power company's March bill to the city was 3856.80 higher than it would have been without the Increase granted by the public service commis sion. Business Reasons Are Assigned for Action. Which Proves Surprise ' to Many Friends. THE DALLES, Or., April 7. (Spc cial.) Since the fortune of politics is uncertain the the expense of a direct primary campaign considerable Chauncey E. Butler, candidate for nomination for the office of secre tary of state on the republican ticket today withdrew his name from the contest. The withdrawal of Mr. Butler was a surprise to many friends here, who were confident that he would be the next secretary of state. Mr. Butler assigns business reasons for his withdrawal from state poll tics. He will engage tn business in this city, he said today. For many years he has taken a prominent part In county and state politics. He has perved Wasco county as deputy assess or and deputy sheriff and for the past two years and a half the state in the motor vehicle department under Sec retary of State Ben W. Olcott. For six months he served in the United States marines during the recent world war. Mr. Butler's statement of with drawal from the contest for nomina tion for secretary of state reads: P'or reasons which seem to me to be en tirely sufficient, I am constrained to re frain from entering the contest for secre- Cheney Style 5, $290 It was inevitable that improvements would be made in the art of tone reproduction.

Road Bids Are Asked. ABERDEEN, Wash., April 7. (Spe cial.) Call for bids for the construc tion of the re-location of the Wynooche valley river road has been authorized by the county commis sioners. The proposed change will begin at the bridge on the Wnooche Wishkah road and will run north from that point for about two miles on the west side of the river and then recross to the east side near the Moak farm. The change also will call for the building of a new bridge acros sthe Wishkah, but no bids for that have been asked. Drainage Plans Approved. ABERDEEN, Wash., April 7. (Spe cial.) The petition for the creation of a drainage district three miles east of Montesano, betwen the Olym pic highway and the Chehalis river, to be known as drainage district No. 2, has been approved by the county commissioners. The date for the elec tion of officers and formation of the district was not set. An area of nearly 1000 acres is included in the district. The land is adapted for gen eral farming or for berry raising. Chamber of Commerce Reports From Over Oregon Show Sur plus Lack. Reports on labor conditions throughout Oregon as revealed by in formation at the office of the state chamber of commerce indicate that there is going to be a serious short age when the seasonal work calls for more workers. There has .been no surplus of labor during the spring season available for ordinary jobs in progress and the experience at this season is contrary to the usual con ditions. The Portland Railway. Light & Power eompany has under con struction a flume at one of its power plants that has been delayed over several weeks because of Inability to get workmen who will remain con tinuously on the job. It is realized that with the opening of the heavy timber operations in logging camps that there will be fur ther depletion of the numbers who might otherwise take places on the farms. The- reports received from throughout the country show un promising prospects for farm help. The middle western states are now advertising throughout the east for men to work on farms. Returned soldiers- have sought work in manufac turing centers instead of returning to the farms. In a news letter sent out by the chamber Secretary Quayle says: "The question of farm labor is one in which every commercial organiza tion as well as municipalities, county courts and bankers should be inter ested and a complete survey of the farms should be made as to the amount of help required. This can not be done in a day but it is none too soon to act." RISE PROMISED TEACHERS Xew Salary Schedule Drawn Up by Centralis School Board. CENTRALIA. Wash,. April 7. (Special.) Central la's school teachers will receive a substantial increase in salaries next year. At a meeting held last night by the school board a ten tative salary schedule was drawn up and will be submitted to the teach ers for approval before its final adop tion by the board. The schedule does not come up to that recently recom mended by the Lewis County Teach ers' league, but, according to a state ment by a member of the school board, the district is financially un able to meet the league's demands. Patrons of the Centralia district this month will be asked to vote an extra tax levy of five mills to pro vide the salary increases. , forty Consumptives Homeless. DENVER, April 7.
