THE 1I0HNTXG OKEGOXIA35V TUESDAT, DECE3IBITR 12, 1933 11 1. WEST SLATED FOR HIGHWAY JOB Aim of Pierce Is Declared to Be Party Solidity. WAIL ALREADY IS RAISED Opponents of ex-Governor Say Demand Will Be Made Reg ular Democrat Get Job. SALEi!, Or.. Dec. 11. (Special.) That Oswald West, ex-governor of Oregon, is slated by Walter M. Pierce, governor-elect, for a place on the state "-highway commission, was the news brought to Salem to day by prominent democrats who purported to have inside informa tion with relation to a number of proposed political appointments under the new administration. It was said by these democrats that while the proposed selection of Mr. West is not at all popular in some sections of the state, it would have the effect of appeasing the so-called Chamberlain-West faction of the democratic party and at the same time solidify the burbon org anization. Opponents Are Aroused. Opponents of the appointment of Mr. West to the highway commis sion have let it be known that they are not in sympathy with any move to salve the enemy camp, and will go to headquarters in a body pre pared to demand that the job be given to some so-called regular member of the party organization. One of the democratic visitors here today was outspoken in his opposi tion to Mr. West for highway com missioner or any other office in the gift of the Pierce administration. "While I admire Mr. West in many ways," said this democrat, "I do not intend to sit idly by and allow him to be selected for one of the most important offices under the Pierce regime. West Kot Real Democrat. "Although elected governor of Oregon on the democratic ticket, Mr. West never was nor never will be a real democrat. While chief executive of the state he flirted repeatedly with the opposition, and a number of the best-paying and most-coveted offices were filled by republicans. It was apparent that Mr. West proceeded on the theory that he already had his friends under obligation and it was h's best play to cultivate the friendship of the opposition." Mention also was made by this democrat of the close friendship that has existed between Mr. West and George IS. Chamberlain for many years. "Mr. Chamberlain, although more diplomatic in conducting his politi cal affairs, is the same stripe of democrat as is Mr. West," declared the visitor. "While governor Mr. Chamberlain "played to the non partisan galleries, and party lines were badly shattered. Under his administration the men and women who worked for his election ob tained the promises while the re publicans walked away with the jobs. William Pollman Mentioned. For the Eastern Oregon district William Pollman, wealthy Baker banker, has been mentioned promi nently in connection with the office of state highway commissioner. Mr. Pollman a few weeks ago Issued a statement in which he declared he would not accept the position, but since that time his friends have at tempted to have him reconsider the proposal. In case Mr. Pollman is not ap pointed the honor probably will fall to Sa.nr Board man of Board man. Mr. Boardman was an active Pierce sup porter in the recent campaign, and acted as treasurer of the Jesse Win burn election funds. C. E. (Pop) Gntes Another. For the southern Oregon district, C. E. (Pop) Gates of Medford is de clared to be in the running. Al though a republican Mr. Gates sup ported Mr. Pierce in the campaign, and was said to have been instru mental in persuading Mr. Winburn to donate $5000 to the cause. In case Mr. West receives the ap pointment as highway commissioner bo will represent the Portland dis trict. The only other candidate men tioned in connection with the office from the Portland district is C. K Spence, master of the Oregon state grange. There are three members of the highway commission, the present commissioners being K. A, Booth of Kugene, John B. Yeon of Portland, and W. B. Barratt of Heppner. All three of these commissioners ar ex Ptcted to have their resignations on file before the first of the year. jCbrreciEnfi: A Daily Quiz HOW Is tube pronounced? What is a cleft infinitive? Is its use permissible?. What is amiss with the notice, "If any toy has lost a cap, they may apply to the janitor"? Upon which syllable Is tarpaulin accented? Answer, to Monday. Question.. Put "other" after "any" in. "He pitches better than any man in the country." Since "supreme" rreans highest or greatest, it should not be compared, as in "She rejected his offer with the most supreme contempt." "Contumacy," pronounced "con" tew ma-cy," means insolent and in corrigible obstinacy. Since thi phrase "that I lent you" modifies "book" and not "library," it should be placed next to the noun it modifies in, "Did you re turn the book to the library that I lent you?" BRIDGE BODIES BUSY BURXSIDE COMMITTEE IS AF TER WIDE APPROACH. Real Progress Is BelieTed Made Toward Solution of Prob lem Affecting Traffic. The importance of wide main ar teries of traffic leading to the bridges is coming to be realized in Portland through the actions of groups ot property owners. Yes terday there were two meetings of development. The lead is apparent ly being taken by the Burnside street group, but Madison etreet property 'owners, as well, have their eyes on future developments arid will have a 100-foot street to- the river from Fifth street if the'r pres ent plans materialize. Burnside street development, however, seems in the lead and the committee headed by A. Neppach met "yesterday and will meet again Thursday at 2 o'clock in Commis sioner Barbur's office. " A general meeting for all property owners on Burnside street from the - river to Sixteenth street has been called for Thursday. December 21, when com plete figures on all property values and assessments as well as some definate recommendations will be presents!. Lloyd Bates will pre pare some special data for consider ation of the committee before Its Thursday meeting and the members feel that they are making real progress toward a successful plan for etreet widening:. ByEarold Donaldsoarberlda BO So. 80 Shades for fixed lighting fixtures (continued). CHANDELIERS require small can dle shades of silk or vellum, if they are very formal of parchment if they are less formal. The drop light over the dining table should preferably have a formal silk shade, which may or may not be closed at the bottom.' The color of the shade is very im portant, for it should not be so strong in tone as to detract from the floral decorations on the table nor of such a peculiar color as to be unharmonious with the different clothes worn by the woman at the table. Usually a tone of warm champagne, straw color or pale gold is the best color. The shade may be made of painted parchment or real vellum, but should be simple in design and color. The drop-light over the dressing' table may be much more elaborate of silk, lace trimmed, or of ruffled dotted muslin over silk to. match the curtains in the room. Rose color Is the best lining for these shades. The cord upon which the table light hangs should be of silk in a tone to harmonize with the walls and ceil ings of the room.
