Applegate and Plomondon said to be
only a Beginner of It
Salem, Or., Jan. 13 (Spl.) Wneii
Gov. Oswald West announced the ap
pointment of T. A. Rinehart of La
Grand to succeed Peter Applegate as
state land agent, the governor com
menced a general slaughter It is said.
The appointment Is one of the best
that the governor has to offer as there
is no great amount of labor connect
ed with the office and it carries a sal
ary of $1800 a year. ,
It Is said that the official head of
Applegate and Plomondon are not the
only onea that will be dropped into
the basket t and a number of other
heads of departments are awaiting in
apprehension for the executive hand
to be felt. The Governor had previous
ly announced that he would make no
changes until after the session of the
legislature was over but he has ap
parently changed his mind and it wag
rumored today that other , changes
were soon to follow. Just what offices
Will be hit is not Inw; tut Otuei
announcements of changes are ex
pected to follow as soon as the gov
ernor returns from Portland.
Rlnehart's Job in Danger.
A movement, It was rumored today,
would be started to get a law through
the present legislature to abolish the
office of state land agent. This was
strongly recommended by Jay Bower
man in his last message to the legisla
ture, and It may be that his sugges
tion will be carried out. If this Is
done the affairs of the state land agent
will be placed under the desert land
board.

that his resignation would be
accepted. Dr. Plamondon, however,
answered by stating he would resign

of a place on the staff of the new insti
tution when that staff Is selected by
the board. This neither State Treasur
er Kay r nor Governor West would
promise and the action taken by the
board yesterday afternoon followed.

the reasons of the board for his re
moval follows:
"Whereas:. It would appear from
the records that position of superin
tendent of the Eastern Oregon Branch
asylum has been filled by the appoint
ment of Dr. J. c. Plamondon, and
"Whereas, it would appear that at
the present time the state has a com
petent and efficient staff, thoroughly
familiar and acquainted with needs
and requirements of insane hospitals,
which are willing to assist and ad
vise the board without extra expense
to the state in all matters pertaining
to the plana and procedure necessary
In the construction of said branch asy
lum and preliminary to its active op
eration and,
"Whereas, it would appear that there
are .no duties the performance of
which at this time requires the ser
vices of a superintendent.

said Dr. J. 0. Plamondon be removed
from said position as superintendent
of the eastern Oregon branch asylum,
and that said office be left vacant un
til further orders of this board.
