I will frankly say to you that during: my term of office as governor I have fiever had a more 'important appointment to make than this and have never bo keenly felt the need of a man rallying to my support as I feel the need now for you tp come to my support In this important undertaking. It is a thins vitally affecting all of the people of the state and this road work is the tiggest card in the deck. It has sim mered down to the question of my merely not allowing you to refuse to accept th appointment. You must do it for the sake of Oregon and the im mense things which are a stake. POLICT 2TOT FORM CL ATE D "Besides being assured- of the sup port of the governor." Yeon corv - tinued. and the business interests ' of Portland, "I, was further- influ enced by the 'knowledge that I will have the direct advice and assist ance of Amos S. Benson, who was my right hand In the Multnomah county ' work." - As to what his general policy will be, Yeon said he had not yet had sufficient -time to formulate one, but wouldraake . an announcement in a few days on this line after he had studied conditions. Tfou can say though," he said, "that It has always been my ambition to keep roads out of politics." It is well known that Teon during his term as roadmaster of Multnomah coun ty was an insistent stickler for perma nent construction, taking the view that the cost of . good work was soon for rotten, while that of poor work was al ways kept before the public. CAME HEBE WITH $J.iO The accession of Teon to the com mission will be followed by a reorgan ization of the commission. As Commis sioner Booth is the oldest member of the commission In point of service he probably will be elected chairman. Teon Is 65 years old and a native of Plantaganet, Ontario, Canada. He Tame to Oregon in 1885 with a capital of 12.50 and first secured employment fat Astoria at J30 a month. He then be came a lumberjack, drove an ojc team and worked at other things around a logging camp. In a short time he began-to operate on his own account as a logger. He met with marked success and in 1906 sold out his logging Interests for a larca figure. Comng to Portland, he built what is now one of the largest office buildings of the city and engaged in .other busi ness enterprises. The secret of my success," he has often said, "lay In the fact that during dull seasons I did not close down my camps like most of the loggers did, but kept at work, keeping my .equipment in shape and assembling my logs so that when good times came again I was ready John B. Yeon, Portland capitalist, lumberman and highway enthusiast. who has accepted a place on the state highway commission. ceeding Simon Benson, resigned. sue- to put my logs on the market and get the top price." ' TAKES INTEREST IJT WOKK . In 1913 Yeon became interested in highway : development and was among, the pioneers of the movement in Multno mah county. In the spring of 1914, after the county had begun the construction of the Co lumbia river highway, it became appar ent that a strong executive was needed to prosecute the work. Yeon was selected for this work and in order to give him .legal standing he was made roadmaster of the county without salary. He took an active part in the campaign for the Multnomah county road bond issue and in the subsequent road work of the county for four successive years. He was also an important factor secur ing the creation of the state highway commission and the enactment of meas ures financing its work. . In 1918 he resigned as roadmaster and went to work for the government as a dollar a year man. He served as su pervisor of spruce production on the lower Columbia, being given full author ity by General Disque. During this serv ice he was offered the military rank of major, but he refused it, disliking to go around wearing spurs. For the past two years Yeon has been building up his ifafA txiiatviAoa IntArsotl I Medical Fraternity To Hold Convention 3 Days This Week The grand courrcil of the Kappa Psi Medical fraternity will meet in Portland for its annual convention Thursday, Fri day and Saturday at the Portland hotel.
