Senators McNary and Stanfield are working- harmoniously in their rec ommendations. The senators' are about to split be' cause neither will consent to appoint ing the others friends. From the foregoing- it will appear that the situation as to the political pie is as clear as mud. It is a dull day when someone cannot report hav ing- read a letter or a telegram sent to someone else by either Senator Mc Nary or Senator Stanfield, said letter or telegram containing the latest in formation as to just what is going an, Delay Irks Candidates. Candidates for the big- and little jobs agree on one thing: They cannot see any occasion for this protracted delay. All the candidates had their applications and references before the Oregon delegation between two and three months ago, and some of them applied six months ago. A conference 1 of a couple of hours, it was contended, should be sufficient to dispose of the entire matter. There is a hitch at Washington. Thi RAnflfnr are tint ffptt'pp rinwn to brass tacks.

INTEREST in the installation of a aound amplifier at festival cen ter has resulted in the receipt by President Mielke of the festival board of many letters and telephone calls asking- for information regard' ing the inoval apparatus, which re ceived its first public trial less than year ago. Ths amplifying; apparatus, which is being- installed by ths Pacific Tele phone & Telegraph company as its contribution to Rose Festival suc cess, will be erected at West Park and Madison streets. Construction work on the building which is to house the amplifier will begin without delay. A technical statement of the prlncinle or the amplifier, prepared by Commer cial Superintendent Hickman of the telephone company, is as follows: I general it consists of special transm'tters, located at the festival center, and loud-speaking receivers and. associated horns;. Suitable ap paratus is also furnished to insure amplification so that music or the voice at ordinary tone will be dis tributed over the festival area. The amplifier consists of a system or motors, generators, wires, trans senatorial privilege. Eastern Oregon Worries. What is eastern Oregon going to get out of it? This question is now . one of the foremost under discussion. By general consent among the political forecasters, two. of the four big jobs are practically settled: J. L. Day for marshal, and Clyde G. Huntley for collector of internal revenue. The United States district attorney Dost is not exnected to be bothered with for another year at Letters Sent Out by Oregon Cham least. This leaves only the collector None of the apparatus will be visible at the festival center except the sus pended horns and will give the im presslon of sound created out of the air. "The operation of the system is fundamentally the same as that of the ordinary telephone which is used in talking from one station to another. A specially constructed transmitter is placed several feet from the speaker and is so located that it will not inter fere with the speaker in any way. The sound waves intercepted by the transmitter are converted into elec tric waves, which are guided by wires to the receiver, which translates the electric waves into sound waves. The energy obtained from the transmitter is very small, consequently it is necessary to Insert amplifiers between the transmitter and. the receivers to provide sufficient power lor operat ing the system. Extreme care must be used In in stallation of the equipment to in sure proper results each horn has to be adjusted according to the space in front of it the distance the sound would have to travel so that the voice com'ng out of the several horns would be uniform. In order to insure satisfactory results from this appara tus the Pacific Telephone & Tele graph company has brought experts from the east to Install and test out and operate the plant. These men will carefully supervise ths installa tion and test the equipment thorough ly before Tit is placed in service for the Rose Festival. This apparatus was given its greatest outdoor test at the inauguration of President Hard ing' in Washington March 4, where he voice of President Harding in the Inaugural address was distributed j fV - " over a radius of six blocks from the capttol steps and could even be heard distinctly on the steps of tha con gressional library, more .than 1200 feet from the Inaugural platform. i "At all previous presidential inaug urations only a few hundred people who were fortunate enough to se cure positions directly in front of and near the inaugural platform were able to hear the inaugural address, - but on' March 4, .1921, with the amplifier apparatus in service on the capitol grounds, 125,000 people, the .largest crowd that ever heard one man's voice at one time, distinctly heard every word of President Harding's address. It is this same apparatus which has been forwarded to Port land and will be placed in service for the entertainment of our guests at the Rose Festival in June. "The equipment above referred to was produced by the American Tele phone & Telegraph company and the Western Electric company after sev eral years of development work, and the present satisfactory results will be a revelation to all who have an opportunity to be present at tmi fes tival center during the Rose Festival week. "The high expense for installation of the necessary electrical apparatus has precluded the use of this equip ment at any except the largest and most notable gatherings, such as the republican and democratic conven tions last year and the inaugural cer emonies for President Harding."

There would be some precedent for piving this place to a man east of the Cascades, for Will Moore, present incumbent, is from Pendleton, and T. C. Burke, Mr. Moore's predecessor, was also from that section of the state. Providing eastern Oregon is left out in the cold, a real opposition can be expected from that territory by Senator McXary when he comes up for renomfnation, and by Ralph E. Williams for national committeeman, and by Thomas H. Tongue, If he wants to be state chairman again, and by Senator Stanfield Jiimself. the latter because he failed to land anything for his old stamping- ground. Two candidates for United States attorney are from eastern Oregon: P. J. Gallagher of Ontario and Julien A. Hurley of Vale. George E. Neuner of Roseburr also wants it. It is pos sible that Mr. Gallagher will be of fered, as a compromise, appointment out jointly by the Urion Pacific system and the stale chamber of commerce, is being assured by re turns from letters sent out by the state chamber last week to commer cial organizations in every district of Oregon. Tre letters, which announced ih.it the first trainload of settlers would start from Omaha on July 19, and suggested that definite steps be taken Immediately by the respective dis tricts toward taking- care of the vis itors upon their arrival, elicited re sponses by return mall from 29- com mercial organizations of the state. according to Secretary Quayle of trie state chamber. The letters also Invited any or ganizations that felt that they could afford to "o so to send representa tives to the mid-die west to assist Union Pacific officials and sta'e chamber representatives in brlngiag prospective settlers. These settlers who are srouped together with cr.e particular district in mind, will be routed direct to that district, ac cording to the plan. R. Schee, secretary of the Princ- VI lie Commercial club, has been ref lected by ths Crook county chamber of commerce to represent that dis trict in ths middle west. He will start for Omaha within a few day, according to notification received by the state chamber yesterday. Klamath and Harney counties nave intimated their desire to send repre sentatives to the middle west, to cording to Quayle, but no definite action bad been taken up to yesterday. SUNSHINE HELPS ROSES . i Continued Warmth . to Assure Abundance of Petals for Festival. Yesterday's warm, sunny weather brought cheer to the hearts of rose growers and those especially con cerned, with the success, of the fes tival, scheduled for June 8, 9 and 10. "If this continues," said J. A. Currey, rose expert, "we will have plenty of roses for the festival. The ground is quite cold and warmth Is needed to produce more vigor in the bushea. If we can have considerable weather like today, intermingled with some cloudy weather, all will be well with the roses." Owing to continued cold, rainy weather, it had been feared that there would be a scarcity of blooms for the Rose Festival this season.

' There is a belief that the state bar association will be requested to make a recommendation for the place, in which event lightning may strike anywhere. Mr. Neuner and Mr. Hur ley may be offered positions as assist ants. Major Humphreys, democratic incumbent, still has about three years of his tenure, and unless he volun tarily resigns before then, the post will not be vacant. Judging from the reported tele grams and letters received in Port land, the senators are consulting with everyone except each other. PINE CREEK YIELDS "GOLD Baker Man Cleans Up $500 Worth of Metal in Three Weeks. BAKER. Or.. May 21. (Special.) Otis Elliott has received from his brother, Frank Elliott, $500 of coarse gold, to be deposited in the First Na tional bank of this city for shipment to the United States mint at San Franc'sco. The gold was taken from the latter's placer claims on Pine creek and the clean-up was ths result of about three weeks' work. The claims can be worked but a short time in early spring because of the scarcity of water. For more than SO years this mine has proved a constant producer dur ing the spring season. Oldtimers of the cty predicted that placer mining in this district again was coming into its own after several years of prac tical idleness. Woman Gets State Office. BOISE. Idaho, May 21. (Special.)

The killing of $2.000 worth of cattle In four years was attributed to ths Custer wolf, a lone plains wolf which operated in the neighborhood of Cus ter, s. D., between the years 1916 and 1920. , The wolf was killed by H. P. Williams, government hunter, who was six months in getting a chance shot at him. Williams caught the wolf fou- times In traps. On the last occasion the animal broke the swivel and fled with a wolf trap on his paw. The hunter trailed him and shot him. It was the first glimpse he had had of - the wolf in the months he had hunted him. . " The Custer wolf was the leader of a pack, and began his wholesale depredations after all his running mates had been killed. He was noted for his vicious manner of killing. It is said that he practically bankrupt ed a number of cattlemen in the region. A reward of $1000 was offered for him, but this was removed when the government trapper was sent in. The picture was brought to Portland by Dr. Glenn R. Bach, who becomes predatory animal inspector of the United States biological survey in Washington July 1. Dr. Bach was assistant Inspector in Wyoming at ths time ths .wolf was killed, . i SALEM. Or., May 2L (Special.)
