WO PROMISES ARE MADE

mission Is Attended.
SALEM. Or., Deo. JO. (Special.)
Job seekers, state officials and em
ployes and old-time friends and ac
quaintances of the governor-elect
vied for places of vantage In the in
formal welcome ceremonies attend
ing the arrival here today of Walter
II. 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.
Aspirants Are on Hand.
Among the latter were Henry
Downing, life-long democrat, who
has been mentioned prominently in
connection with the wardenship of
the state penitentiary; W. A. Dal
rymple, assistant to the chairman of
the Marion county democratic cen
tral committee during the recent
campaign, and Joe Mlnton, until a
few months ago employed as a
guard at the prison. Mr. Dalrymple
is a candidate for a seat on the
state industrial accident commission,
while Mr. Minton seeks to succeed
Percy Varney as state parole officer.
The governor-elect let It be known
here that W. K. Taylor, chief of po
lice at Pendleton, has some strong
Indorsements for warden of the
prison. He would not divulge the
names of the applicants for any of
the other state omces.
When asked i he intended to
purchase a residence in Salem, the
governor-elect spoke feelingly of
his financial condition, and his voice
trembled with emotion.
"I am a farmer," said Mr. Pierce,
"and I can't afford to buy a resi
dence. Mrs. Pierce and I will rent
something for the present."
No Promises Are Made.
Although making It plain tnat he
Cie not Intend to make any appoint
ments until after the legislature,
the .governor-elect said his plans to
this end might be changed because
of contemplated resignations. These
prospective resignations include
yrank K. Lovell, state tax commis
sioner, the three members of the
rlate highway commission, ani T. B.
Handley, state corporation commis
sioner. "God bless you, boy, I'll give your
application honest-to-goodness con
sideration," was about the nearest
the governor-elect came to com
mitting himself to any applicant,
one of the job-seekers said.
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. All
of the visitors gave brief addresses.
This afternoon Mr. Pierce, accom
panied by Acting Governor Ritner
and Secretary of State Kozer, (in
spected a number of the state Insti
tutions. Christmas to Be at Home.
The governor-elect, who was ac
companied here by Ward Irvine, his
private secretary, will remain in
Salem until tomorrow night, when
he will. go to Lebanon to attend a
meeting of the farmers' union. He
later will return to his home at La
Grande for Christmas and will sub
sequently locate in Salem prepar
atory to taking over the duties of
the executive department.
While in Portland Mr. Pierce said
lie was besieged by an army of of
fice seekers, and It finally became
necessary for him to change his
room at the hotel.
Mr. Irvine, during the absence of
the governor-elect at the state in
stitutions, was acquainted with af
fairs in the executive offices by
Don H. Upjohn, private secretary
to Governor Olcott.
Mr. Pierce was the guest of Acting
Governor Ritner at a dinner served
jn the penitentiary here tonight.
Other guests included Don H. Up
john, private secretary to Governor
Olcott; Ward Irvine, private secre
tary to Governor-elect Pierce; pris
on officials and members of the
state parole board. 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."

of the T. M. C. A. work in Iowa.
Rudd has been with the local or
ganization since 1915, being trans
ferred from the La Grande branch,
where he was general secretary.
Previous to that he was dean of the
county work school at Seabeck,
Wash. It was largely through his
influence that the construction of
the present new Y. M. C. A. build
ing In La Grande was carried
through. From the office of boys'
secretary in 1915, he rose to the po
sition in 1918 of secretary of the
county work of the interstate com
mittee of Oregon and Idaho, which
works with Portland as a center.
His transfer to the same county
work position in Iowa will bring
him into contact with a larger and
busier field and give him consider
able scope for his special knowledge
in that branch of Y. M. C. A. work.
Y. M. C. A. men suitable to take
his position in the local organiza
tion are being considered by the
executive committee, which will vote
on a successor the first of the year.

FRIENDS AND FOES
OF SHIP BILL FIGHT
Debate Merely Serves to
Tighten Deadlock.
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.

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.

Reorganization of Force Is Indi

Changes May Be Made.
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. A majority of the coun
cil favored the retention of Burgy
