Pierce of La Grande. The welcome extended to the dis tinguished visitor had all the ear marks of a home-coming, with the governor-elect playing the role of the long-absent child. In the back ground were -Acting Governor Kit ner and a number of prominont democrats who were purported to be close to the throne. Not to be outdone by a number of state office seekers who had gath ered at the capttol In anticipation of the arrival of the governor-elect, a few of the more persistent faithful assembled at the depot where they extended congratulations first-hand.

After a brief survey of the execu tive offices the governor-elect at tended a meeting of the budget commission called to consider items of expense proposed by the state library board during the next two years. At noon he attended a luncheon served by the Salem Rotary club. Other visitors in attendance at the luncheon Included Edgar B. Piper, editor of The Oregonian, and Acting Governor Ritner of Pendleton.

In a statement the governor-elect said: "I consider the mechanism of the state too delicate, too important for any rash or ill-thought action. I believe In making my way slowly, in getting Into state affairs. The state has many important problems to face and nobody wants to make a mistake. "I am a good forgetter. Tft"e cam paign unpleasantries are dead and buried. What we all want- now is the very best government that Ore gon can possibly have. There is a chance for everybody to help. If we all do our best we shall make the state government a great success." official list- of appointees Is not to be announced until Friday, Burgy's name Is almost certain to be on It, Mr. Allen stated.

EARLY VOTE IMPROBABLE Administration Leaders in Senate Frankly Pessimistic Over Out look for Measure. WASHINGTON, D. C, Dec. 20. Five hours of debate and parlia mentary maneuvering in the senate today served only to. tighten the deadlock which has existed for three days between two opposing and al most equal groups, one lighting to keep the administration shipping bill before the senate and the other to displace, that measure. Three separate and distinct ef forts were made during the day to break the deadlock through a unani mous consent agreement to vote at a designated time upon the pend ing motion to lay aside the ship ping bill and to take up the Nor ris agricultural financing measure, but each time an objection nullified the attempt. After the unsuccess ful result -of these efforts the de bate ran far afield, ranging from discussion of -the disposition of Muscle Shoals, to charges that Am bassador Harvey in London, through his recent statement on the Euro pean situation, had endeavored to affect the cotton and grain mar kets in the United States. . Leader Are Pessimistic. Shipping and agricultural ' relief legislation were discussed at lesser lengths and when the senate ad journed administration leaders were frankly pessimistic over the possi bility of a vote within several weeks upon the ship bill. General belief was expressed that the Christmas recess would come and go without a break in the struggle for dominance between those trying to keep the ship bill before the senate until the rural credits measure can be re ported from the banking and cur rency committee and those members of the alliance formed between foes of the ship bill and advocates of the Norrls agricultural bill. The initiative in the effort to bring the question involved in the deadlock to an Issue was made to day, as yesterday and Monday, by Senator Jones, republican, of Wash ington, in charge of the shipping bill, who proposed an agreement to vote at 3 o'clock today on the -motion before IPhe senate. Unanimous consent was refused by Senator Fletcher of Florida, leader of the democratic opponents of the ship ping legislation, and Senator Jones thereupon proposed a vote at 4 o'clock. This was objected to by Senators King of Utah and Williamsj of Mississippi, democrats. Democrats Fight BUI. Point'ng out that the banking and currency committee chairman had predicted that rural credits legisla tion might be expected from his committee early-next week. Senator Harrison, democrat, of Mississippi, later proposed that a vote be taken next Wednesday. Senator Jones re fused to assent to this after the opinion had been 'expressed by re publican senators that agreement to the proposal would have ths effect of preventing any action on the ship Ping bill in the meantime. The debate, which touched upon the legislation before the senate the administfation shipping bill in volved attacks on the measure by Senators Harrison and Dial, demo crat, of South Carolina. The former criticised the administration for pressing the measure after the re cent election. In which he jajd the bill had been repudiated by the voters. sighed to Instruct veterans taking project training in Washington, two In Oregon, and instructors will be furnished ex-service farmers in Idaho as soon as the demand war rants. "This plan of having college ex perts visit various land projects which are being developed by dis abled world war veterans was in itiated recently in this district and is being copied in other parts of the Unted States," said Mr. Cooper. "The agricultural expert paid by the state college visits the veteran in his particular district at least once a week for a period of two or three hours, each instructor "having from 20 to 25 land students. It means that the disabled veteran learning the business of farming is going to receive instruction on the latest methods of scientific and in tensive farming without leaving his project." , Announcement was made that there are more than 200 project trainees in the Pacific northwest and a total of approximately 600 training in agriculture of some kind. EXPERTS AID VETERANS Instruction for ex-Soldiers Now on Farms Assured. A programme of active co-operation by Washington, Oregon and Idaho state colleges with the United States veterans' bureau in furnish ing disabled veterans training in agriculture on their own land proj ects, with expert instruction, was announced today by Kenneth L. Cooper, Portland manager of the veterans' bureau. Instruction units are being formed where 15 farm trainees can be found within radius of 20 miles. It was said.

VANCOUVER, Wash., Dec 20. (Special.) Although the appoint ments are still in the air, a-complete reorganization of the police force with th exception of chief is to be made, according to N. E. Allen, mayor-elect. Mr. Allen indicated to day that Henry Burgy, the present chief, probably would retain his job. The mayor-elect's statement fol lowed three meetings of the new city council in which an attempt was made to obtain the council's views on the appointments , but which resulted in nothing but dis agreement.
