MARK W. PETERSEN
IS ONE OF MANY
FOR SHERIFF JOB
present County Constable Has
' Hat in Ring; Hurlburt Is Reti
cent; Stevens Enters Race.
Mark W. Petersen, present con-
tab? of the Portland district, , has
a new political bee buzzing about in
hla political bonnet, fcte would like
to be sheriff of Multnomah county.
In fact, Petersen, bo his friends re-
late, has been listening to the whir
: ring song of that particular bee for
ome little time, and has been in
l' dining lis steps towards those
places where U could feed and fat
ten on the honey of promised votes
until its voice would tell the world
of his ambition.
Petersen and his close political friends
have been busy advancing their picket
lines for quite a time, quietly and in
sistently, until they are about ready to
toot their bugle and go. over the top
In regular campaign formation.
There has been a good deal of surmise
among politicians Interested tn Multno
mah county affairs as to whether Tom
Hurlburt intends to be a candidate for
rtnomlnatlon and reelection. Up to the
present time he has made no public an
nouncement of whether he will run for
sheriff, for some other office, or retire
to private life. It has been rumored
that he would be a candidate for city
commissioner, or for mayor, at the com
ing municipal election. It is related,
however, that the sheriff has said he
would be a candidate for reelection if
he continued In good health, at the same
time volunteering the statement that
, Just at present he was feeling fine,
,. which would seem to Indicate that his
candidacy may be counted on unless he
gets the flu and the flu gets him, or
: something like that.
... The Indications are that the office of
sheriff will be much nought after at the
coming primary election, as there are
others besides Constable Petersen and
ex-Nherlf f Stevens who are holding their
fingers aloft In the political breexes to
see which way they are blowing'.

Out $50 for Hiding
Savings in Pillow
When Pete Cardlpp retired Thursday
nlpht at thr. Winchester hotel he placed
$50 of his saving's inside the pillow slip,
he told the police Friday. The follow
ing morning he left the room, forgetting
to take the money. 'When he returned
later in the day the money was not to
be found. Thef pillow slips had been
sent to the laundry, so Cardipp is per
manently minus his $50.
The house of Mrs. Jenkins. 1736 Bana
street, was entered Friday about 11 a.
m. A watch was stolen. Helen Boulis,
446 East Pavts street, reported a watch,
ring; and bracelet stolen from her house.
Test of the constitutionality of
the fish and game legislation, creat
ing a fish and same commission of
nine members, was ordered by the
Multnomah Anglers' club at Its meet-
Ins; in the Chamber of Commerce,
Friday eve.ning.
The necessary steps will be taken by
the club's executive board.
State Senator John Gill, In the course
of a review of the special session's work,
made four statements startling to the
anglers. These statements were:
That the legislature at Its special ses
sion was organized in favor of the com
mercial salmon interests.
That his own election as a member
of the new fish and game commission
was of doubtful constitutionality but
had been attemptedly legalized by a
measure prepared by Attorney General
Brown and which as adopted removed,
in respect to the fish and game commis
sion, the constitutional inhibition against
holding two offices of trust or profit at
the same time.
WITHHELD OWN BILL
That the session was so favorably in
clined toward the commercial Interests
he had withheld a bill of his own prep
aration requiring a 6-inch mesh In trap
nets, although his own review of pres
ent law shows there Is no regulation
whatever of 'the size of mesh of trap
nets.
That in the small mesh nets trout are
being caught and have been publicly
sold on Portland markets numerous
times within the past bIx weeks without
any attempt at arrests although the law
plainly forbids sale of trout or even
having them In commercial possession.
Arthur I. Moulton. partner of W. P.
Lord, attorney for the club, stated :
That the legislature has no power to
life the constitutional inhibition against
the membership of a state senator or
representative, on the fish and game
commission.
LEGALITY IS DENIED
That the fish and game bill as an
emergency measure became at once ef
fective, thereby eliminating the old com
mission, but the new commission is not
to be seated until March ; therefore there
is no legal fish and game commission
at this time.
That power to elect the new fish and
game commission was vested In a reg
ular legislative session, therefore the
special session had no right to name the
commission, hence It is probable there
will be no legal fish and game commis
sion until the next regular meeting of
the legislature.
Representative E. C. McFarland said
the fish and game commission bill is a
good measure, except he thinks the gov
ernor rather than the legislature should
appoint the commission, but that this
fault will undoubtedly be corrected at
the next regular meeting of the legisla
ture. GAME COMMISSION DEFENDED
Representative C. C. Moore said that
he had been convinced by thorough in
vestigation that the members of the
fish and game commission are men of
honor and probity, that their acts have
been in the interests of the state and
the people and that they have been Jus
tified in their past performance.
Representative L. K. Bean of Eu
gene, who had been attacked by Moul
ton as the leader of the Willamette val
ley delegation to the legislature, averred
that he had been misjudged, that his
sole interest is and has always been in
behalf of the wild life of Oregon and
that he is eager for things to be smooth
and easy again in fish and game admin
istration. Master Fish Warden R. E. Clanton
declared that hostile propaganda had
been belittling his work In liberating
trout and that the statements are untrue.
Box Manufacturers

It is the aim of progressive box manu
facturers of the Coast to adopt uniform
alsea for every variety of box produced.

Unfortunate Upholsterer Not to

"Master George" Pfadenhauer. up
holsterer by trade, "divine healer" by
preference and dishwasher by neces
sity, left for Salem Friday to con
tinue his magic work among inmates
at the insane asylum. Although he will
himself be numbered among the pa
tients, "Master George" is counted upon
to do much good.
After a lengthy examination. Dr. S.
E. Josephl Friday morning decided that
George is insane, in that he has the
obsession the world is peopled with
witches and sorcerers who cast their
malign spirits Into the rest of humanity,
causing sickness and death. His own
power Is the ability to cause the evil
demons to leave the bodies of the sick.'
"Master George" will not be prose
cuted by the federal authorities on the
charge of usii-Sj the mails to defraud.
Investigation revealed that the 'healer"
paid $65 to have his magical book
printed and. although he sold them at
1 a copy, could get rid of only 25. He
has been having a hard time to pay
the printer.

"The votes that Great Britain con

has a majority already," Senator Reed
continued. It is said that Hoover made
$10,000,000 before he was 30 years old.

have made money and made it quick.

"Hoover has purchased two newspa

He referred to Senator Hoke Smith of

This Senator Smith denied. '
"I regret you deny this, as I thought
I had found a man who was for Hoover

"I know this man will be popular with
farmers whose wheat was purchased at
a price fixed by Hoover.
'This power was not granted to him.
The farmers had their markets. One
was on the grain exchanges of the coun

"Mr. Hoover licensed the exchange
men and threatened to forfeit licenses
if any amount more than the fixed
prices were paid. The same order was
given the millers, the second outlet.
'There was one other place where
farmers could sell wheat that was
abroad.
"The grain corporation, controlled by
Mr. Hoover, had sole license to sell'
abroad.
"This law, passed to protect the peo

Mr. Hoover to fix a maximum price
for all grain raised in the United States.
"What would a man of that kind do

"With the powers of the president

To urge upon congress the Im
portance of providing millions of
dollars for the completion of pro
jected post and forest reserve roads
In the "Western states, and for build
Ins; new forest reserve road to con
nect with state roads, seven repre
sentative Oregon men will leave for
Washington next week.
These seven men will act in conjunc
tion with representatives from Idaho,
Nevada, Utah, Wyoming, Montana,
New Mexico, Washington, Arizona,
Colorado, South Dakota, California and
Alaska. They are: Julius L. Meier
and John B. Yeon of Portland ; Charles
Hall. Marshfleld; L. J. Simpson, North
Bend; Truman Butler, Hood River;
Ben C. Jones. Newport, and H. C. Nunn,
Salem.
The various committees will gather at
a meeting February 10 and will ask for
the provision of $100,000,000 to be de
voted during a five-year period to the
connection . of projected post and forest
reserve roads.
TO COKTIKUE II TEARS
An additional request will be made
for the provision of $10,000,000 each
year for 10 years to be used in the con
struction of match roads through forest
reserves, when state roads are con
structed to reserve boundaries.
Complete data has been complied for
presental to congress. This data shows
that Oregon would receive slightly over
$1,600,000 annually out of the road com
pletion fund and about $700,000 an
nually from the forest reserve fund.
The vital importance for such appro
priations for this state has been real
ized by the governor and the seven men
to go from Oregon were appointed by
him. In June this year $4,332.17S will
be turned over to the federal road con
struction program in this state.
No provision has been made for fed
eral road funds for any of the western
states after June. Should, this situation
remain unchanged, it is pointed out that
development would be retVirded.
Congress has oeen restrained from
making appropriations for federal aid to
road construction through consideration
of the Townsend bill, which would di
vert all available moneys to the build
ing of a national highway system with
roads extending from the East, to the
West and from the North to the South.
At the meeting of the American As
sociation of Federal Highway Officials
in Louisville in December a resolution
asking for federal funds for completion
of projected post and federal reserve
roads In the West was Indorsed by rep
resentatives from over 30 states. A
similar resolution was unanimously
adopted at the annual meeting et the
State Chamber of Commerce last month.
Not less than three representative
from each western state will meet Feb
ruary 10 in Washington.

"To make a wide impression" on the elements of discontent in the Punjab, according to their commander,
Brig. Gen. R. E. H. Dyer, British and Indian troops fired without warning last April on a meeting of Indians
at Amrttsar, killing five hundred persons and wounding about fifteen hundred in ten minutes. This action is now
being investigated by a committee headed by Lord Hunter. The violent outbreaks of disorder in Calcutta, Bom
bay, and the Punjab, eventuated from the "passive-resistance" movement against the Rowlatt Act, which is
directed at revolutionary and anarchical crime, and is made necessary by the attempts to overthrow British rule
in India. Agitators seized upon this measure, the London Morning Post tells us, to organize an agitation which
"threatened the very existence of British rule in India." Events in Afghanistan, and even in Bolshevik Russia,
"may or may not have had a connection with this movement."
In THE LITERARY DIGEST for January4th, there is an enlightening account of the unrest in India
and how it menaces British rule irt Asia. The article is accompanied with a map of the Indian trouble center.
