COUNTY OFFICIAL PAPER DON'T SWAP HORSES IN THE MIDDLE OF THE STREAM In its issue of March 27th the Cor Tallis Gazette-Times had the follow ing editorial as to the selection of a governor at the coming election governor to follow. Each situation is peculiar to itself. It a secretary of state follows the laws of simple arith metic he is fairly sate but a governor has a chance to make a mistake every fifteen minutes. "In view of these considerations and the entire lack of anything fun damental to offset them would it be wise to place three new men in charge of the three leading state of fices and also submit to comprehen sive changes in the membership of the various departments, boards and commissions which would undoubted ly result from a change ot adminis tration T "We believe It would be wise in these critical war times to let well enough alone and cause as little dis turbance as possible In vital govern mental agencies. The voters of Ore gon are sensible of these facts ami they may, therefore, be expected to stamp Governor Wlthycombe's suc cessful administration with their overwhelming Indorsement by re electing him." TO LET CONTRACTS FOR SPRUCE LOGS Portland, April 6. Announcement hns been made by Col. Hrlce P. Dlsque, commanding the spruce pro duction of the signal corps, that the government will contract for all No. 1 and No. 2 spruce logs and 10 per cent of No. 3 spruce logs at present prices, provided delivery is completed on or before November 1, 1919.
