"When William B. Follett. depart
aant commander of the American
tsion. steps out of office August 1,
k will leave behind a record of ac
complishment and earnest endeavor
that will make the path of his succes
sor a ditricuu one in comparison, in
the opinion of many Oregon Lesion
aires who have kept in touch with his
work.
Mr. Follett will not be a candidate
for re-election to the post of legion
cwnmander in Oregon. He has made
r as a positive announcement.
Caough his best friendB have been
very anxious to .see him enter tne
arena for the second time, they aban
doned all efforts in his behalf on
learning of his determination, Decause
of the knowledge of the sacrifice in
time and means the holding of the
position for the past year has cost
Mr. Follett.
"It is not that my Interest la not
.s sincere, and my neart wun im
American Legion as greatly as ever,
but personal affairs are making a
claim on my attention wTiich I cannot
Ifrnore for another year, announced
Mr. Follett. It Is known that he vir
tually sacrificed his business to the
legion during 1919 and 1920, and the
ajgument had weight.
Mr. Follett, who is also a national
Lvice-commander of the American Le-
Kion. was one of the first Oregonians
to take an intense interest in the for
mation of the organieation of war
veterans. He was one of the delegates
to the first American caucus of ex
service men held in St. Louis in May,
1919, from Oregon, and was the only
one. Incidentally, from this state out
side of Fortland. He hailed from Ku-
gene at that time. Since, the necessity
of being in more direct touch with
legion affairs in the state caused
him to move to Portland.
Returning to Oregon full of en
thusiasm for the American Legion
and the great ideals to' which the or
ganization of ex-service men had
Sledged itself, Mr. Follett plunged
Into early organization work. His
election as first state commander at
the initial convention of the American
Legion In Portland last September
was in recognition of this interest.
Though the first thought in the
choice of Mr. Follett for the position
was that of finding a man who was
sincere and above the suspicion of
seeking politica' preferment through
th.e American Legion, "Bill" Follett
was an excellent selection from an
other point of view. He put at rest.
probably forever In Oregon, the
groundless criticism In early days of
the organization that it was an offi
cers club," and cnieriy composed or
men who did not see service overseas.
Mr. Follett is an overseas veteran
and served throughout the war as an
enlisted man. He was discharged
with the grade of 6ergeant. He was
with battery F, 69th coast artillery.
Incidentally, he is above draft age.
One of the earliest activities of the
first department commander of the
legion In this state was to fight for
better treatment of disabled service
men in the shadow of the capitol. Mr.
Follett went to Washington, D. C,
and- was with the body of legion
naires who secured the early passage
of the Sweet bill in December, 1919,
and gained many concessions for
their wounded comrades. This trip
was made entirely at his own ex
pense, as was a later journey to the
east for conference with national of
fleers of the organization.
Mr. Follett has been extremely
active in th,e American Legion's ad
Justed compensation or bonus fight.
His efforts to secure the passage of
a cash bonus for world-war veterans
have been strenuous.
One of the most active legionnaires
to appear before the state legislature
at its last session in favor of meas
ures sponsored or approved by the
American Legion was Mr. Follett.
Though he would approve nothing
wntch savored of politics, he was
stronjr advocate of legislation that
favored Americanism.

PIONEER ' ENGINEER : DIES
25 HOUSE PERMITS GIVEN
Residence Building Unusually Act
Ive for This Time of Tear.
Twenty-five permits for the con
structing of private residences have
been issued the last week by the
bureau of buildings in the city hall.
This Is a good record for this time
of the year, according to H. E. Plum
mer, building inspector. The average
tor the year has been 70 to 100 per
mits for residences a month.
Building will be more active in the
fall, thinks Mr. Plummer, when Port-
landers begin returning from vaca
tions. Commissioner Barbur's emerg
ency housing committee will meet
early next month to make plans for
helping everyone who wishes to build
or who. is having trouble under pres
ent housing conditions.
Thespians for cheap three and four
room houses which have been drawn
up under the direction of the com
mittee have been used a great deal
and calls have come from outside the
state. One request for the plans was
received last week from Wyoming.
The plans, together with estimates
and the bill of material, are given to
those interested for 23 cents. The
plana include garden plots..
man, and June 11, 1881, was promoted
to engineer. He was afterward with
the Southern Pacific until July 14,
1919, when he retired, after over 42
years service. During all that period
his record was perfectly clean, not
single passenger having been injured
on trains he' hauled.
Mr. Craw was engineer on the first
Southern Pacific train to cross the
first railroad bridge, connecting east
and west Portland, and also "pulled"
Henry Villard, head of the Oregon
& California railroad and famous
railroad promoter and builder of
three decades ago, from Portland to
Ashland to drive the "golden spike"
connecting Oregon and California by
rail.
For many years he made his home
in this city at 280 East Second street
north. For nearly 20 years he was
secretary of the JPortland branch of
the Brotherhood of Locomotive En
gineers. He leaves a son, Harry E.
Craw, and two grandsons, Clarence
and Robert Craw.

Destiny played one of its strange
tricks Thursday when it brought to
a close the life of Frank S. Craw, who
had for years been employed as a
fireman and engineer for railroads in
thfs vicinity. After nearly half a cen
tury of this hazardous employment,
without a single injury to himself or
anyone else in connection with the
operation of his trains. Craw retired
some months ago, and on Thursday
met his death as the result of a fall
out of a tree in his own yard. He
was engaged in trimming branches
when he lost his footing and plunged
several feet. He was rushed to a
hospital, but died within a few hours.
The deceased was born in Portland,
Conn., July 14, 1849, and came to Ore
gon in 1877. He began work in Sep

Own, Senatorial Candidacy Is Ex-
peeled to Be Successful En
couraging Reports Received.
Robert N. Stanfieldv republican
nominee for United States senator,
who has returned to Portland from
eastern Oregon, feels confident that
Harding and Coolidge will carry Ore
gon by a big majority in November
and that a straight republican ticket
will be elected throughout.
"I have had encouragement for
myself from all the counties of the
Btate." he said yesterday: "Many in
fluential men and women of the state
are determined that Oregon shall roll
up large majorities for republicans
from president to coroner."
Mr. Stanfield will make an active
personal campaign from now on and
will try to visit every portion of the
state as far as possible before elec
tion day.
"I will have no headquarters of
my own," he stated. "At the organi
zation of the republican state com
mittee two weeks ago, I submitted
the management of my campaign to
the committee, but I will be my own
manager in conjunction with the
state committee.
"With the call going out from the
peclal Lnited states senate commit
tee for the supporters of Harding and
Coolidse to elect republican senators
order to strengthen the adminis
tration, there is every assurance that
he republicans will win the senator-
hip in every doubtful state and espe
cially where a democrat seeks elec-
on in a republican state such as
Oregon."
Mr. Stanfield has just returned
from looking after his interests In
the sheep and wool industry through
out eastern Oregon and Idaho, and
to some extent in Utah and Wyoming.
He feels that the crisis in the wool
market is largely over and that the
wool growers generally have every
reason to be o-ptimistic.
SCALES T0BE TESTED
Portland Residents to Be Assured
Of Full Weights and Measures.
Commissioner Mann will start an
Investigation at once to see that the
residents of Portland get the proper
weight in the food they buy and full
measure of gasoline for their ma
chines. Through the sealer of weights
and nieasures, a thorough rechecking
will be made of all scales, gasoline
pumps and weights and measures in
general.
"With the cost of living so high,
we must be sure that when a woman
eaves up enough money to buy a few
pounds of bacon or raeat she will get
correct weight," Commissioner Mann
said yesterday.
Ohio Moose Portland Guest.
John J. Lentz, former representa

about two weeks ago, at which time a
dinner was given in his honor and
