Dobbin, who yesterday was appointed by Governor Olcott a mem ber of the state highway- commission to succeed B. E. Kiddle, today tele graphed from Joseph that he would be unable to accept the office. Later in the day a telegram was re ceived at the executive offites from W. F. Savage, president of the En terprise chamber of commerce, that in view of the fact that Mr. Dobbin had refused to accept the appointment of highway commissioner the people of Wallowa county had rallied to the support of F. D. McCuIley and urged that he be named to fill the vacancy caused by the death of Mr. Kiddle. Another telegram signed by T. H. MorMock, secretary of the Joseph Commercial club, located at the home of Mr. Dobbin, was received by Sen ator Patterson of Polk county, urging that the Willamette valley friends of Mr. McCuIley confer with Governor Olcott and urge his appointment to the commfssionership. Mr. McCuIley is a merchant and stockman and for many years has I been closely identified with the devel; opment and business interests of Wal lowa county. Governor Olcott refused I to make any comment following re ceipt of Mr. Dobbin's telegram, other than issuing a staterient to the ef fect .that a successor to Mr. Kiddle probably would not be named for sev eral days. Friends of the executive said that R. A. Booth and John B. Yeon, other members of the highway commission, undoubtedly would be summoned to Salem for a conference with the governor before the latter announced his appointment.

BUSINESS OCCUPIES DOBBIN Putting WOMEN TO AID INDIANS Agriculture on Higher Plane Big Aim in Life. ENTERPRISE. Or., Jan. 4. (Spe cial.) In declining Governor Olcott's appointment as member of the state highway commission. Jay H. Dobbin was moved by the feeling he could not spare from his private business the time required by the office. An other consideration also influenced Mr. Dobbin. He Is a large farmer, and stock raiser and has given much thought to the problem of lifting agriculture from its present depres sion and placing it permanently on a more profitable and stable basis. He has discussed the subiect ex tensively withbankers, men in public life and leaders in thought all over the northwest. He feels that now if he is to spare any time from his private business it should be given to efforts to solve this problem, or at least relieve the tense situation of the day. Mr. Dobbin has become identi fied with this so extensively that he does not consider it advisable to take up anything else, even as important a task as serving on the highway commission.
