Dividing State

Proposal Made by Smith,
Lomax in Article
Seven Natural Divisions Would
Replace 36 County Units
Of Present System
Realignment of Oregon counties i
to change them from 36 political
divisions to seven units based on
natural and economic factors is
the new plan proposed by Dr. War
ren D. Smith, head of the geology
department, and Alfred L. Lomax,
professor of business administra
l tion, in an article published in the
latest issue of the Commonwealth
Review, University journal.
Presenting the results of an ex
tensive study made by the faculty
members, this article is the first
of a series to be written for this
magazine. Smith, who is a geolo
gist of national repute, has a thor
ough knowledge of the physical
conditions throughout Oregon, and
Lomax has accomplished much re
search along economic and busi
ness lines in the state.
“Provinces” Suggested
To replace the present numerous
counties of various sizes the writ
ers propose seven "provinces,” to
be formed without regard to pres
ent county boundaries. “The radio,
telephone and telegraph, which
make for rapid communication,
and the automobile and the air
planes which greatly shorten dis
tances, have disqualified the little
county unit and its courthouse of
t horse and buggy days as an effi
cient instrument for county gov
ernment,” the article says.
"Boundaries of these social units
should be governed not by artifi
cial arbitrary decree but by the
kinds of soil, climate, geologic his- j
tory, topography and hydrogra- i
phy.”
Divisions Named
me seven provinces proposed,
in accordance with the factors out
lined, are:
Coast province. This would ex
tend from the ocean to the sum
mit of the Cascade range, but in
follow the eastern boundary of
Curry county. This province would
stretch the full length of the state.
Should this be deemed too large,
it could be divided into north and
south portions.
Klamath province. Its northern
boundary would be the north line
of Douglas county, ( eastern boun
dary of the eastern boundary of
Jackson county, and it would ex
tend south to the California line.
Willamette province. This would
extend along the crest of the
k Coast range on the west to the
Douglas county north line on the
south, and then for its eastern
boundary would have the eastern
boundaries of the present Lane,
Linn, Marion, Clackamas and
Multnomah counties, extending
north to the border, including the
city of Portland.
Other Provinces Designated
Columbia - Deschutes province.
Its western boundary would be
the line just traced above and its
southern boundary would be the
north line of Klamath and Lake
counties. Its eastern boundary
would follow a line which is some
what irregular, and would include
portions of Morrow and Umatilla
counties.
Southeastern Lake province.
This would include Klamath, Lake
and Harney counties.
k Blue-Wallowa province. This is
an irregularly bounded subdivision
that would lie between the Des
chutes-Columbia province and the
Southeastern Lake province, and
extend to the Snake river north
of Huntington.
Snake River province. This
would include the present Malheur
county and a strip of the Snake
river north of and as far as Hunt
ington.
Reasons Cited
Reasons for the division of the, j
state into these provinces are j
given by the writers. In the Coast i
province, for example, there is an j
area which is ■ for the most part j
mountainous with very little ■
coastal plain, cut by short and,
generally unnavigable streams.;
Everything in this province is con-j
nected directly or indirectly with
the sea. The chief resources are !
lumber, fish and recreation. Such
soils as exist are good, but the j
area suitable for agriculture is:
limited. The climate throughout
the coast region is very much the
same. The Coast highway con
nects it from north to- south.
The Klamath province is a very i
mountainous region in which min-;
ing is one of the principal indus-;
tries. The soils of the intermoun-1
tain valleys are particularly adapt- j
ed to the growing of fruits and j
bulbs. The problems here are in
no way related to those found on
the coast.
If found desirable, a portion of
Willamette province in the north
containing Portland could be split
off, it is pointed out. This would !
largely be on the basis of popula
tion and because this metropolitan |
area would have problems peculiar j
to itself.
Forthcoming articles in the Re- j
view will go into detail on the i
proposed plan. The next is to be j
viitten by Professor Louia^.

MCDONALD — "Eskimo.” Also
"Search for Beauty,” Buster
Crabbe, Jimmy Gleason, Ida

COLONIAL—"Beloved,” John
Boles, Gloria Stuart.
By J. A. NEWTON
On Wife-Trading
The story of "Eskimo” is as fol
lows: Mala, the hero, is the tribe’s
greatest hunter. When the supply
runs low, they can always depend
on him. The first part of the pic
ture is devoted to numerous scenes
showing Mala on hunts.
There seems to be very little
faking in these scenes. I doubt if
there’s any. They hunt polar bear,
walrus and whale, not to mention
caribou.
Mala is a happy married man,
believe it or not. He is an Indian
looking man and his wife looks
rather Japanese. He has two or
three healthy children.
The wife-trading comes in while
he is on a hunting trip with his
family. A friend meets him. He
is alone. He tells Mala that a polar
bear killed his wife, so Mala picks
up a spear and states he has some
hunting to do, and goes off, leav
ing friend wife with his neighbor.
A white trader takes his wife
without asking him, which bothers
him somewhat. And when it’s re
peated a couple of times, Mala'
kills the man. Mounted police get j
him, but he escapes as noted yes
terday.
Anyway it moves along and
keeps your interest excellently for
such a long show'.
“Search for Beauty,” I hear,
isn't much, but don’t miss “Eski
mo.”
On Musicals
“Beloved” is billed as the great
est musical of all time. It is not,
of course. “Viennese Nights” still
remains uppermost in my mind as
the best musical I’ve ever seen, in
addition to being the most poig
nant drama.
“Beloved" is very like this great j
show, the change being the happy ;
romance in the later one.
In both the hero works all his \
life with a great symphony in his ;
mind. In this case it is mediocre.
Three or four kids in this pic
ture provide considerable pep. '
Jimmy Butler who appeared in
“Only Yesterday,” an excellent
show incidentally, has a brief i
scene in this, and there is a young i
violin protege who can play. A
welcome relief.
It's getting, tiresome to see act- i
ors splashing their hands meaning- j
lessly on a dummy piano while c
the music is worked in. Boles does
it. ]
The piece is very sentimental; 1
too much so for me. However, I
tastes differ.

On Meeting Plans
Law Professor Attends Conclave
Of Coordination Committee
In Chairman’s Office
Charles G. Howard, professor of
law, attended a meeting of the
Oregon state bar association com
mittee on coordination, held at 2
yesterday afternoon in Portland at
the office of Sidney Tieser, chair
man of the committee.
The purpose of the committee,
which was appointed recently in
accordance with a decision of the
American bar association, is to
formulate programs of study for
the meetings of both the American
and the Oregon bar associations.
Similar committees have been ap
pointed in every state, in order to
unify and coordinate plans of the
state bar associations throughout
the country.
At yesterday’s meeting, which
was held with a committee from
the Multnomah county bar asso
ciation, members determined how
to answer a questionnaire on prob
lems in criminal law administra
tion.
This questionnaire, which is one
of three sent to every state by the
coordination committee of the
American bar association, is, a
thorough coverage of the prob
lem. It is to be filled out by a
committee from, each state bar as
sociation, thus making a complete
record of conditions throughout
the country in regard to this
problem.

Interest in the muscular coor
dination tests for riflemen which
ire being carried on in the Uni
versity by Dr. R. H. Seashore as
sociate professor of sociology, and
Raymond P. Adams, graduate as
sistant in the social science de
mrtment last year, has become
lation-wide, due to the publicity

heir work. The tests, a research
project of the University, have
jrought letters from every part of
,he country, from educational in
stitutions, scientists and rifle
dubs, requesting further informa
ion on the subject.
The tests given to expert rifle
nen and to other groups proved
hat riflemen excelled in five tests
or steadiness, leading the psychol

jrospects for good rifle shots be
fore the men are sent on the range
or training.
Information Sought
Complete information on the en
ire research project has been re
vested by Waldemar Kaempffert,
icience editor of the New York
rimes, who has informed Dr. Sea
;hore that he will write an exten

Cirkpatrick, of Los Angeles, wants
o make use of Dr. Seashore's ap

nake use of the tests in physical

Several letters were received

Jne of these came from the “Na
