Finance Commissioner Not
to Seek Re-election.
WORK FOUND PLEASANT
Son Declared Capable, but No An
nouncement Concerning Can
didacy Is Made.
S. C. Pier, commissioner of fi
nance, will not be a candidate for
re-election at the November election.
This announcement was authorized
by Commissioner Pier yesterday.
Private affairs of Mr. Pier have
been neglected of late, he states.
and need greater attention and this
is the reason he is planning to re
tire to private life.
Mr. Pier said that while he knew
his son. Stanhope Pier, was seri
ouslv considering being a candi
date for city commissioner at the
fall election, he had not discussed
the matter with him, and therefore
could make no announcement con
cerning his son.
Son Declared Capable.
On this subject, however. Com
missioner Pier said that his son,
StanhoDe. was a capable man, a
deep thinker and one who, if elected.
as city commissioner wouia oe cer
tain to be a success.
"My work as city commissioner
has been very pleasant," said Mr.
Pier. "I have never enjoyed any
thing quite as much as the work at
the city hall and the associations
that one encounters in the daily
routine of a city commissioner.
"For a time I felt that it would be
necessary for me to give more time
and attention to my private affairs,
because I have been forced to neg
lect them considerably since enter
ing the city service.
Decision Is Reversed.
"But the work with the city has
been bo delightful that finally I
decided that I would not retire at
this time, voluntarily at least, and
that I would be a candidate for
re-election.
"But during the last month I have
been considering the question seri
ously, and I have found that my
personal affairs are in such shape
that I must devote some time to
them.
"For that reason I have definitely
decided not to be a candidate for
re-election at the November elec
tion. When I retire on July 1, 1923,
I will divide my time between my
private affairs and - travels with
Mrs. Pier."
Mr. Blsrelow Undecided.
City Commissioner Bigelow, whose
term as commissioner expires at
the same time as that of Commis
sioner Pier, is still in doubt as to
whether or not he will be a can
didate. However, it is generally
believed that he will seek re-election
and his announcment to this
effect will not come as a surprise.
Mr. Bigelow has been in the city
service as councilman and commis
sioner, for nine years. He is now
president of the council and in
charge of the department of public
affairs.
iously interfere with the work and
greatly handicap the growth of the
church.
"Second The denominational
leaders with whom I talked insisted
that I was under obligation to help
them realize plans that I helped
them formulate and toward whose
realization I had solemnly pledged
myself.'
"'Third Assuming that I could be
elected, I have been led to see that
it would be a grave mistake for me
to change my vocation. For the
ministry I was trained and in the
ministry I must continue to exercise
what few talents I have.
"I realize the great honor you did
me in tendering this nomination.
If I can do anything to educate the
people in their political privileges
and duties and to aid in solving the
urgent and menacing problems of
the hour I will rejoice in the oppor
tunity to co-operate with you and
your associates."

REASONS GIVEX FOR DECLIN
ING NOMINATION.
Portland Minister, Asked to Enter
Congressional Race, Says He
Is Bound to Church.
Dr. "William T. McElveen, pastor
of the First Congregational church
of this city, who was proffered the
independent party nomination as a
candidate for representative in
congress for the third Oregon dis
trict at a meeting in Library hall
last Wednesday evening, yesterday
explained to his constituents why
he could not accept their nomina
tion.
Duty, he said, obliges him to re
main in his present capacity as
minister and he is bound to fulfill
obligations to which he is pledged
by officers of his church.
In a letter to H. P. Lee, secretary
of the assembly of electors of th
independent party, Dr. McElveen
gave his reasons for declining as
follows:
"Words seem to me very clumsy
tnings witn which to express my
heartrelt gratitude to you and your
colleagues who gave of your time
and strength to call a convention
at which was duly voted the nomi
nation of myself as a candidate for
representative in congress for the
third congressional district of Ore
gon. I very keenly appreciate the
friendly words and the loyal pledges
with which your committee tendered
me that nomination.
"But several considerations lead
me respectfully to decline a can
didacy for that high responsibility.
Let me briefly state them:
"First The consensus of opinion
of officers and members of the
First Congregational church with
whom I had opportunity to confer
was that it was my duty to remain
in the pastorate of that church, and
that my participation in a political
campaign at this time would ser
Government Party In Airplane
Take Views of Mount Hood
for "Red Enemy."
Moving pictures are the latest
means adopted by the United States
forest service for educating the pub
lic on the 'forest fire hazards and
the best methods and devices against
spread of fire. Two representatives
of the moving picture department of
the department of agriculture have
been working in co-operation with
the officials of the forest service
from this district in filming scenes
for a picture to be entitled "Red
Enemy," which will be shown
throughout the United States by the
forest service.
Fred W. Perkins heads the party
of cinematographers which has
been working in the Mount Hood
and Lost lake districts photograph
ing scenes for the film. Yesterday
Mr. Perkins, with his companion
photographer, made a flight in " a
government plane around Mount
Hood taking views of the peak.
In the afternoon, the two photog
raphers, John D. Guthrie, examiner
in the department or puDlic rela
tions of the forest service, and C. S.
Chapman of the Western Forestry
and Conservation association set out
together for a climb of Mount Hood
to get further scenes. They par
ticularly want to get a view of the
lookout station atop Mount Hood to
figure in the picture.
'Red Enemy Is to be no ordinary
educational picture, but is to be
wound together with a plot mak
ing an interesting story. It is also
to be full of illustrations of Oregon's
scenic wonders with many various
views of Mount Hood taken from
Lost lake,' from the air, and other
locations. Logging and milling
scenes are to be worKea into tne
story. Later the party will go to
Clatsop county to get pictures of
the logging industry and of timber
scenes. When work on the picture is
concluded the photographers will go
to British Columbia to get pictures
of white pine blister rust.

Window Shades.
Roller-window shades or blinds
are not meant to be pulled half-way
down to show the outside world that
the house is equipped with them
Used in this way they are simply
objects of useless display. They
have a useful purpose and should
be used for that purpose, for which
they were intended. That purpose
is distinctly utilitarian and not dec
orative. They are meant to be pulled down
at night when the lights inside are
lighted, to keep the outside world
from looking in, or pulled down
during the day when the glare of
the sun is too strong. When a win
dow Is equipped with curtains and
hangings there is usually little need
to pull down the -shade. When there
are no hangings it may be necessary
to pull the blinds part-way down.
Most houses would be better for
more daylight than is generally let
into them.
It is a mistake from a decorative
point of view to think that a shade
should be kept half-way down
where so many people keep it. Roll
it up out of sight, ready for use,
however, when it is really needed.
White or cream-colored shades are
commonly preferable to those of
darker color.
The "Venetian blind has a genuine
decorative value and its slats are
conveniently adjustable at any
angle. It is much more expensive
than the roller shade, but it lasts
from generation to generation.
SCHOOL SITES COME UP
Petition Before City Council Will
Be Considered Tomorrow.
Tomorrow morning at 10 o'clock
the city commissioners will take up
the matter of the petition filed by
the school board for the vacating
of the streets adjoining East Eighth
and Clackamas streets. The school
board has filed a petition to this
effect and has taken an option for
the purchase of the desired property.
but objections have arisen from
Michael G. Munly, who has instituted
action to stop the procedure of the
school board.
Last Friday night a meeting was
held by residents of the Holladay
school district for consideration of
the vacation proceedings for the en
largement of the Holladay school
properties.

WHEAT IS UNHARVESTED
Spring Crop iii Haines District
Still Standing in Field.
HAINES, Or., Sept. 11. (Special.)
On account of late planting much
of the spring wheat in this section
remains standing in the fields. The
fall wheat and dry land crops, while
held back by the late spring, for the
most part have been harvested and
much of the crop has been threshed
and stored in warehouses. Dry land
wheat has. not made yields of more
than half the quantities usually se
cured from these lands. On the ir
rigated farms west of the city the
wheat and oats yields promise to
be up to the average, some fields
making nearly 50 bushels . to the
acre.
The threshing season in the
heavier wheatyielding sections has
scarcely begun. '

HERMISTON, Or., Sept. 11. (Spe

it became necessary for I. E. Put
man, Hermiston plumber, to resort
to a real wartime gas mask to do
some repairing in one of the lead

Putman was fixing the ice ma
chine in a local confectionery. To
do the work . it was necessary to
turn off three gas valves that carry
ammonia In making the ice. The
plumber got one turned off all right,
then was forced to seek the open
air. Earl J. Kingsley, local mer
