JENNING'S A Mutual Appreciation for the Beautiful Accompaniments of Living Is the Richest Fruit of a Successful Home Acting Governor Hart Says Lister's Appointees to Stay.- SITUATION YET UNCERTAIN Changes Are Anticipated in Event of Governor's Death; Friends Cling to Hopes for Recovery. THE SUNDAY OREGONIAX, PORTLAND, JUNE 8, 1919. OX.YJIFIA, "Wash., June 7. (Special.) s After returning from a highway in spection trip through southwestern Washington aa far as Ilwaco Acting Oovernor Ij. F. Hart today allayed considerable apprehension prevailing among democratic state appointees, one of whose terms expired today. Mr. Hart let it be understood that he con templates no changes in salaried offices eubject to appointment while he is officiating in the capacity of acting governor. This means that the per sonnel of Governor Lister's administra tion will remain Intact. The situation is left indefinitely un certain, but many of Governor Lister's close friends cling to the hope that he will recover and may even return to his executive duties, despite frequent discouraging reports of his condition from the Seattle sanitarium where he is now under treatment. Several Term to Expire. Democratic appointees, whose terms expire in the meantime, will, it is un derstood, hold over until the admin istrative status again becomes defined. This situation leaves Donald A. Mc Donald in the office of industrial in surance commissioner beyond the term he was serving, which expires June 8. It will also govern the case of Frank 71. Spinning, public service commis sioner, whose term expires June 16 The latter position pays $5000 a year and the appointive term is six years. Industrial insurance commissioner pays S:1600 a year. Rev. T. J. Cannon of Malaga will continue in the position of penitentiary chaplain at Walla Walla from today. No other salaried appoint ments of importance expire before 1921. Channel Are Anticipated. If Acting Governor Hart should be come governor in fact, there is no doubt but a number of changes in ap pointive state offices would be made, probably including the public service commission and several other important departments as the administration would then be republican throughout. A number of reappointments to state boards were made by the acting gover nor today, including those of W. W. Emery of Napavine and Pat McCoy of Seattle to the state forestry commls sion; C. M. Olsen to the Bellingham Normal board of trustees; Robert Prior of Yakima, to the board of veterinary examiners; C. Osseward of Seattle to the board of pharmacy. According to compilations issued to day by C. R. Jackson, state tax com missioner, Washington's total taxation for all county, municipal and state pur poses has increased more than $10,000,- 000 in the three years from 1916 to 1919. The total collection made in 1917 from the levy made in 1916 amounted to $37,466,786. The 1918 collection had In creased to $43,225,284, and the 1919 col lection is $47,722,683. Most of the in crease noted is in the larger counties. King going from $11,461,227, collected in 1917, to $14,973,836 as the total 1919 collection. Pierce county advanced from $2,354,622 to $4,804,065 and Spo kane from $3,860,918 to $4,729,897. Distribution of the levy for 1918, now under collection, shows that railway block and right of way paid $4,332,329, railway rolling stock $684,457, tele graph lines and property, $14,033, tele phone lines and property $325,415, elec tric railways $S54.632, all other real property $32,801,088, all other personal property $7,410,673. Actual valuation of steam roads in the state as made by the state tax com missioner, subject to revision by the - state board of equalization, carries total valuation of $339,882,287. The total valuation for electric lines is $38, 1195,825. these figures being not ma terially different from those of last year. For telegraph line taxation, on actual value basis, the commissioner this year assessed the Western Union at $629,184 and the Postal at $147,035. Increased rates on gas served to the cities of Centralia and Chehalis by the North Pacific Public Service company were allowed by the public service com mission today to the extent of a $1 minimum and a maximum charge of $2. An increase was granted for this com pany in February, 1918. but the com mission finds it is still unable to 'show any profit and is carrying actual loss below the cost of operation, if deprecia tion is allowed.

OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash ington, June 7. The bill recently in troduced by Representative Summers to put water on 130,000 acres of land in Walla Walla and Franklin counties. Washington, by building a dam at Five-Mile on the lower Snake river is arousing interest outside the area that would be affected. The fact that the building of this dam would make the Snake river nav igable all the year around up to Lew iston suggests an additional value to the project. It means, in other words, that boats could pass readily, now that the Celilo canal is open, from Lew iston to Portland, or from Lewiston to the ocean. On account of the smal use made of navigable streams at this time but little importance might at tach to opening navigation for such a great distance, but times are changing. There is little doubt that the future policy of the federal government will be to make greater use of the nav igable waters of the country. When that time comes and with the develop ment of the country along the lower Snake, it is not unreasonable to expect that regular boats will be plying both ways on the Snake and the Columbia every day. poor tire equipment, should use the Co lumbia river highway from Portland to Hood River, then ferry across to White Salmon for the next two weeks. Communities in Skamania county are planning a formal celebration. July 4, of the opening of the scenic highway. WOMAN OF 70 IS PATRIOT Noteworthy Amount of War Work Done In Spite of Age.' YAKIMA.
