I raised corn from seed supplied by your company so far west- that if I had planted another row I would have had to wade. I used the Yellow Dent vari ety. You call It the Hendricks corn. It grew 11 feet high, and while it did not mature as .1 hoped it would, it makes the bast silage I ever saw. When you tell of. the corn yield here after.

SALEM, Or., Nov. 21. (Special.) George W. Joseph, attorney of Portland, was here yesterday visiting state offi cials, and while his mission was not announced. It is understood that he is getting readyto address a letter to the State Highway Commission offering to turn over to the state the E. Henry Wemme tollroad on the Mount Hood road. This road runs from Rhododendron to Government Camp and then on over the old Barlow trail. It Is a portion of the proposed Mount Hood loop, and the presentation of the road to the state, if accepted by the State Highway Com mission, probably would presage an early completion of the long-desired Mount Hood loop. The tollroad was left by Mr. Wemme to Mr. Joseph. Some-time since Sena tor Joseph tendered the road to the Federal Government, but it was never accepted. Its acceptance by the state would free it from the toll burden which is now imposed on tourists-going over the road and would throw its maintenance trTb the state. While Senator Joseph has not stated what conditions would be exacted in connection with turning over the road, it is probable that it will be done with the understanding that the Mount Hood loop be completed and that the state maintain the road. The proposed road will also be con structed in connection with the Forest Service as a forest road, according to the understanding, and the Forestry Service now has the matter in hand. GARBAGE BID ACCEPTED Willard Commission Company Fax $3.90 a Ton for Refuse. to The Willard Commission Company Is to. receive the contract for handling the foodstuffs received In garbage at the city incinerator. The company will pay $3.90 a ton for the waste as turned over at the plant. The" highest bidder in the proposition was G. W. Cloyes, but he threw up the contract yesterday on the ground that his bid of $5.60 a ton had been too high. He said the man who had agreed to finance him in the undertaking had withdrawn his support. The Council ordered that Mr. Cloyes forfeit his check of $10 furnished to guarantee good faith in his bid. The waste food at the plant will be reduced by- the company Into feed for animals. It is said there are auDroxi- mately 12 tons of refuse each day which can be used in this way, at a profit of $46.80 a day to the city.

PROPOSED PROBE PUT OFF Council Postpones Action Because Civil Service Board Will Begin Investigation of Incinerator Plant Management Tonlgbt. In face of public criticisms hurled at City Commissioner Kellaher and oth ers by an Afternoon newspaper because of changes In the management of the city incinerator. Mr. Kellaher yester day asked for an airing of the propo sition to see whether he or the news paper is at fault. Mr. Kellaher asked the Council to make an investigation, in accordance with the provision of the charter cov ering such inquiries. The Council ma jority felt that, inasmuch as the Mu nicipal Civil Service Bureau intends to make an investigation of the civil service questions involved in the case, that an inquiry by the Council should not be ordered at this time. Probe Starts Tonight, The Civil Service Board will start Its probe at a meeting: at the City Hall tonigrht. The question at stake is the right of the City Council to pass ordi nances as recently passed taking charge of the plant from William Helber and giving it to C. H. Feldman, engineer at the plant. City Attorney LaRoche ruled recently that as far as management of the plant was concerned, Mr. Helber had no civil service standing, having, in fact, had charge for four years without authority or right under civil service provisions of the city charter.- Commissioner Kellaher declares that the change in favor of Mr. Feldman was for the good of the service and points to the accomplishments at the plant since the change as evidence of his good faith in this connection. He says he is responsible for the inciner ator and under these conditions wants to have a man In the management who Oast Cmarasiiee; S35 mm Hp; Yo ur grb ccr will oarv ike full oir Coffee, if it does not jIease yoxt izLsfe, no matter Jvow; irviicfvyotc tva.VG' txsccC otut. or five i cat M.J.

He declares that the politics charged against him in the change are really politics on the part of the newspaper taking up the issue. Mayor Support Kellaher. In asking for a. complete. Investiga tion of the charges. Commissioner Kel laher yesterday presented a resolution to the Council. This was laid on the table until the Civil Service Board com pletes its Inquiry. Commissioner Kel laher and Mayor Baker voted for adop tion of the resolution at once, while Commissioners Blgelow. Mann and Bar bur voted for its postponement. The resolution reads as follows: Whereas, Certain statements have been made In the presw regarding; the manage ment of the city incinerator: and v Whereas, These- assertions 'jiave been of such nature as to Impugn before the 'public the motives of oflclala In charge of the plant, and others: and Whereas. The public should know the facts concerning- the operation of the plant and the conduct of the official and em ployea In charge, and should know whether the reorganisation of employes has been In accordance with law and has been consum mated without regard to politics, and has been In tJs Interest of more efficient man agement ; Therefore, be It resolved.
