The term of E. J. Adams, member of
the State Highway Commission, . ex
pires tomorrow and there is conslder-
ble speculation a to whom Governor
Withycombe will appoint as his suc
cessor, it has been intimated by the
Governor that he will not name Mr.
Adam to succeed himself. . According
to gossip, the probable successor to
Mr. Adams will be R. A. Booth, of Lake
County. If he will accept the place. If
the Lane County man declines, the com
mlsslonershlp probably wiU.be tendered
to C. C. Hall, a young banker and Duel
ness man of Marshfield. The selec
tion must be made from the First Con
gressional District-
Mr. Adams was originally oppointed
by Governor Withycombe for the Bhort
term. The home of Mr. Adams is Eugene-
There has been some friction
on the commission, particularly be
tween Mr. Adams and S. Benson, chair
man of the commission. Until recently
the Governor was Inclined to reap
point Mr. Adams, but it is said pro
tests became so numerous that the ap
pointing power recently began to look
about for another appointee. Another
consideration that Is said to have in
fluenced the Governor in deciding to
allow Mr. Adams to retire waa the re
port that the commissioner was not
giving Withycombe the active support
in his candidacy for re-election that
tne latter had reason to expect.

Food Administration aad War Depart
ment to Help Move Huge Stock

OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash
ington, .March 29. Representatives
Hawley and McArthur, with Dr. C. R.
Matthls, of Amity, had a lone confer
ence today with Secretary of Agricul
ture Huston, on the condensed milk situ
ation in Oregon, aa the result of which
assurances were given by the Secretary
that milk now on hand would be moved
to market and that the Oregon con-
enseries will be allowed to operate
for the remainder of the war period
ithout Federal interference.
Two propositions were submitted for
the disposal of over 82,000 cases of con.'
densed milk made from Jersey herns,
which had an excess of butterfat and
alight deficiency In total eolids, pro
duced by factories at Amity, McMinn-v
ville, Dayton, Scio and other points. The
department agreed to take effective)
action to secure the sale of these ac
cumulated stocks with the aid of the
Food Administration and War Depart
ment. '
The question of future production of
these factories was also discussed, and
provision will be made for their con-
tinued operation on a profitable basis.
These arrangements end their difficul
ties, otherwise they and others would
have been compelled to close, entailing
a great loss to producers of milk. .
Mr. Hawley made the chief presen
tation of the case, since the industries
are located in his district. . j
The Canadian government exempted
the Doukhobors from conscription be
cause of their religious views. In avc-v
knowledgment the Doukhobors pre
pared 15,000 jars of jam for the Cana
dian soldiers.
