"I don't blame you for not want ing to shake hands with so many people, but isn't there some way we could just see you before we leave. I am eleven and Billy is eight. "We have begged mother and daddy for nearly a year to bring us here and I'm afraid we won't get to come back for a tong, long time. With love from Gertrude and Billy Windsor." The president was shown the let ter and granted the children an interview at once. He sent them away happy with autographed pic tures of himself.

What a heritage to have boyhood, manhood, father hood and old age in. one home! If the wails ot this dear old home could speck, what stories from the pages of life they would give to those to whom this home has meant so much. In the years Lafe Engels lived he made many acquaintances and very loyal friends. Like his father before him he was an active pio neer and at home in the moun tains. Many a traveler will remem ber him as he sat around the campflre at he end of the day, en tertainmg with ills stories of early days and the hunt. The mountain trails were home to him. The lakes, rivers and timber of these mountains were his inspiration. We, his friends, will long re member his smile ot welcome, his onen hand and warm heart. To those in distress, to the sick and bereaved, he was always sympath etic. He was trua to tha traditions of hia family, having treasured many relies of former years, among them a quilt 73 years old, an old tomahawk from his rela tives in Kentucky and nwnv other tilings. - , .

As the request for a special legis lation is understood here, it con templates the enactment of legis lation permanently withdrawing ail unappropriated water sites In the state from filings except for public development and to grant priority rights to municipalities and other governmental units in the ap propriation of water for public pur poses. The question to raised in state house circles as to whether the legislature has authority to enact retroactive legislation which would withdraw from appropriation pow er sites upon wulch private inter ests have matin application and preliminary filings in full conform ity with existing statutes. Citing the opinion of the attorney general In the case of the Rogue river, on which the legislature in 1929 withdrew ail fillnc rights Luper said thai he is convinced that the tegisiajure has full control over waters not actually asproprt ated, although applications might oe penning. Gross Admits Reoucst PORTLAND, Aug. 21. Harry L. Gross, Portland attorney, said to day he and others had requested Governor Norhlad to call a special legislative aessioa to pass legisla tion withdrawing all public water power sites tn Oregon from further private exploitation. , Gross said he conferred with the governor yesterday and previously had communicated with the execu tive elaborating on present power combine activities. . The Portland attorney, accom panied by Bjora Johannson, Port land, said the cost of the special session, estimated at between $35, 000 and $,000, would be trivial In comparison wiih ihe $70,000,000 in sites which "the power combine is allegedly attempting to obtain." Gross said" the governor indicated his interest by recalling that In 1921 he and the iate Senator George W. Joseph introduced a joint reso lution providing tor conservation of the water power resources. The proposed withdrawal of pub lic water power sites from private exploitation would be temporary or until uie peonie Bad a chance to vote on the question, Gross said.
