Since the announcement from Coos Buy that Jeff Myers was headed up the watt, he has been expected In Astoria. He arrived late Monday night. With him was Ed. Giltner, secretary of the Lewis and Clark fair hoard. Hon, Richard Scott made the third one of the party. The mission of the trio was to secure the collection of Oregon woods Mcng ing to the Johnson estate, to exhibit ut the St. Louts exposition. They failed. There is about J1300 difference between the valuation 1xed by Administrator Frank Tayor and that of President Myers. While here President Myers spoke of the Columbia river s big mouth and said i something about a railroad down the coast having Astoria for its northern terminus. Mr. Myers breathes only a kind of opera bouffe atmosphere and 'te-'ps yu guessigg as to whether he is serious or jesting, blowing hot air or talking from the depths of his throbing heart. "I think the papers should aid in procur ing exhibits for their localities," he said. "They should do this for the good of the community. We are working for nothing. I do all this travelling around over the state without pay. Expenses? Well of course I must have my xpens es. We are Just working for a ','ood exhibit for the fair. There Is no poll- tics In the board. Selection of Ed. GUtner as secretary proves that. "But the Salem Journal says we are old cast off politicians" interjected Mr. Giltner "and I want to know whether Jeff or me Is meant." President Myers' career lias been spectacular. David B. Hill could ap propriately apply to the president of the state fair board his newly coined word "spectacularizatlon." Mr. Myers once ssrved In the stat-? senate. He was the youngest member of that body and his constituents from the forks of the Santiam said many humorous i things about their representative in the ' upper house. Through Mr. Myers a bill was on'.-.- Introduced in the legislature ; for the protection of Missouri 'possums' ' in Oreyon.
