OFFICIALS TO FACE LOSS Yakima Merchants Refuse to Buy Back Flour Surplus. . TXKIMA, Wash.. June 1. (Special.) Ixcal food administration officials here have taken a chance of personally los ing the difference between the whole sale and retail prices of surplus stocks of flour turned back by Yakima people. Several persons, .amSng them mem bers of the Grange who purchased flour through that organization before it was known that there would be so serious a shortage, have reported that dealers have refused to receive the flour back at the retail price. The officials have tried to get advice as to what action they should take but so far have been unable to do so, and therefore deter mined to run the risk of personal loss. A considerable quantity of flour al ready has been turned in and much more is to come. Office Will . Be Conducted on Con servative and Businesslike Basis, Says Official Ryan to Await Official Final Count. SALEM. Or., June 2. (Special.) O. P. Hoff, State Labor Commissioner, to day acknowledged his thanks to his friends for giving him the Republican nomination for the State Treasurershlp. Mr. Hoff is ill In bed, and has been for about 10 days, suffering from a rather severe attack of ptomaine pois oning, but authorized the statement from there, following publication of the returns In The Oregonian today. Thomas F. Ryan, assistant State Treasurer and Mr. Hoffs nearest com petitor, declined to make any state ment today, and said he would not until the official returns were in. Judge Ryan said that his friends are urging him to call for a recount on the returns and that he has the mat ter under consideration.' He will not decide as to what he will do in this connection until the final official tabulation is completed and indorsed by tho proper authorities. Nominee la Norwegian. Mr. Hoff, who is apparently the nominee, was born in Norway, coming to the United States as a boy. He has been a resident of Oregon for 40 years, living for 25 years in Lane County. While there he first worked in the timber, later having charge of a crew. The greater part of the time, however, he was a farmer and railroad agent. His wife is a native of Lane County. For 15 years he had been State Labor Commissioner, being first appointed by the Governor, Secretary of State and State Treasurer in 1903. Since that ap pointment he has been elected three times, the last election receiving a majority of 124,000 over two competi tors and a plurality of 144,000 votes. He and his wife reside in their home in Salem. They have one son, who has been in active service in France since last August, and who has once sus tained Injuries there . which kept him In the hospital for six weeks. In a statement issued by Mr. Hoff today he says: "On the face of the returns I evi dently have received the Republican nomination for the State Treasurer ship. While the result was close, the contest was conducted in a gentleman ly manner and I wish to extend my appreciation of that fact. I also wish to acknowledge the generous support of my friends throughout the state and the numerous messages of congratu lation which I have received. In re turn for the friendship shown, it will be my untiring aim to give to the of fice a sound, conservative and busi nesslike administration. Beat Effort Promlaed. "My campaign has been free from all promises and entangling alliances of every sort, save the promise that I will give my best efforts to serve the state as I have given them in the past. "I fully realize that the treasurer ship is a place of large trust, aside from the mere fiscal duties attached to It. An active membership on the State Board of Control and State Land Board, as well as various other boards and commissions, entails responsibili ties that are not to be treated lightly. What experience I have gained in pub lic office I will use in fulfilling those duties to the best of my ability. "As a taxpayer and a citizen I will give to the office the same devotion to duty that I would expect of any other official sworn to fulfill a position of public trust. In the present times constant demands are being made upon the citizen-at-large for his money, his time and his whole-hearted efforts to aid his country. I can think of no greater accomplishment for a public official than so to conduct his office that such burdens will be lightened to a material and perceptible degree. To bring about such a result will be my constant aim and purpose." 24,674 GALLED FOR SPECIAL TRAINING Thirty-six States to Provide Men of Grammar School Education.
