Pusrsley. assistant secretary of agriculture, seated comfortably in an arm chair in the retn room of the chamber of commerce this morning, chatted with a group of Oregon county agents, gathered around him, and gave them his ideas as to how the farmers can be educated up to the minute and farm life made more enjoyable. "Before we get through." he said, "you will find that 1 consider club work the most important of all the extension work done among farm people. The boys and girls must be brought up right. They must be brought up to be justly proud of their vocation, and :o take joy in raising the best kind of crops and the finest kind of Block." Pugsley came to Portland by auto mobile. In fact, he hasn't been on a train since he y:ot off one at Fargo, N. D. He alighted there and went by automobile through North Dakota, Montana, Northern Idaho and Wash ington. TO VISIT CORVALLIS He is going to Corvallis this after noon and will hold a conference at O. A. C tonight with extension and home demonstration workers, after which he will go to the coast counties. From there he will turn east again, going through Eastern Oregon, South ern Idaho, and then back to Washing ton, D. C.J where bis desk awaits him. Pugsley was raised in Iowa, but has adopted Nebraska as his home state.

He still holds that position on leave of absence. Crops in North Dakota and Montana were found to be fine for the first time in some seven years. West of that, however, hot weather has caused havoc except where the land is irri gated. "The department of agriculture haa reorganized its extension work." said Pugsley to the county agents ' this morning. "Formerly we had a North and a South administrative office, and each of these two offices had its own particular methods. POLICIES EXPLAI5EB "Now we have just two divisions for the whole country. The first of these divisions determines what should be done, and the other determines how It shall be done. One is administrative and the other ia the division of investi gation and research and teaching. "The department of agriculture is ready apd anxious to cooperate with the granges, the farmers', union and the farm bureaus where these organ izations will permit it. We cannot force our good offices upon these or ganisations, but we have the facili ties to help." Pugsiey's questions brought out that maajr' counties, are experiencing local trouble between the bureau, the grange ajnd the union. "I bate found the same situation in many states," said the speaker. '"The differences will wear away, because there actually is no reason for fric tion." - IN MISSOURI VOTE INQUIRY BOARD IS TO RECOUNT HERE Recheck of Contested Multno mah County Precincts May Begin ThursdayjTo Ask Clerk for Boxes; Olcott Gains Six. Salem. Or., Aug. 2. Contested Mult nomah county ballots will be counted in Salem if the county clerk of that county will surrender the ballots, at torneys for Hall and Olcott agreed this afternoon. Olcott lost one vote In the recount of the North Silverton precinct and his net gain stood at 4 at 2 :30 this aft ernoon. Salem. Or., Aug. 2. Wtth 30 of the 39 contested precincts in Marion county recounted. Governor Olcott had a net gain of five over Hall. During the counting of this morning Olcott gained three votes and lost one, for a net gain of two. He started the day with a gain of three. The count is progressing more rapidly today and it is expected it will be finished by night. Another important point scored by Olcott was the failure of the recount of St. Paul precinct to reveal any ir regularities. In the election board's returns, Olcott was given 189 votes to three for Hall and the Hall forces had challenged 152 votes as Irregular or fraudulent in this precinct. Scollard and Shaw precincts both checked out unchanged. If the desires of the attorneys for both sides in the Hall-Olcott contest proceedings are honored, the court and its attaches will move to Portland, probably tomorrow, to recount the bal lots in contested Multnomah county precincts before beginning to take tes timony on the charges of illegal voting by individuals in Marion or any other county. The announcement that they desired to follow such a proeeedure was made when court convened this morning by W. S. U'Ren, attorney for the Hall forces, and the proposal was agreed to by attorneys for Olcott. , With the court agreeable, the only hitch in the proposed program is the legal necessity of securing the assur ance that the ' eonaty clerk of Mult- tuwiah Mtimt-tr wilt mirrender Um hat- county. Judges Bingham and Kelly, who are hearing the case, will 1 lose their authority to order the ballot boxes opened when they move Into Multnomah county, but they may order the ballot boxes sent to Salem should the Multnomah county clerk refuse to allow them to be opened In Portland. CIEBK ASKED ATTITUDE The court has asked the Multnomah county clerk for a statement of his position. When the recount started this morn ing Governor Olcott gained two votes on the first precinct checked, Salem No. 11, despfte the previous allega tion of the Hall forces that 12 votes In the precinct were illegal or erron ously counted. These two errors gave Olcott a net gain of five for the 21 precincts so far recounted. Thirty-one contests of ballots in pre cinct 12. Salem, availed the contest ant nothing and the recount gave Ol cott a gain of one, bringing his total gain to six. MISTAKES HELD HfSOCEST Up to this time the only irregulari ties in the ballots counted were in the nature of Innocent mistakes by the election boards and without any indi cation of fraud or conspiracy to favor either candidate. The accuracy of the election boards in their official counts has been em phasised by the recount in almost every precinct. TOTAL SOT CHANGED Recheck of Salem No. 15 failed to change the totals. Army Officer Is Fined $125 for Wrecking Auto At the time Captains Mack Lynch and Thomas A. Harris of Vancouver barracks were arrested for crashing their machine into three other machines on the Broadway bridge, the police men who investigated. Atkinson and Hirsch, were certain the 'officers were under the Influence of liquor. But when the officers were taken be fore Municipal Judge Ekwall Tuesday afternoon, on a charge of driving while intoxicated, the policemen were very indefinite. Consequently Captain Lynch, who was driving, was fined $125, and Captain Harris, the older of the two, was discharged. The former officer assumed the blame for putting the two bottles of moonshine in the car that were found there by police. He said Harris did not know about them. The two men dented they were intoxi cated, but said a party of four bad had one pint of liquor during the late aft ernoon. - The three owners of the three cars that were damaged did not testify the officers were drunk. All three had been amply compensated for the dam age, by the officers. according to the evidence.

Four persons are recovering today from one of the most amazing adventures in the his tory of Wasco county. Three of them, one after another, leaped into a 30 foot welt on the ranch of State Repre sentative A. S.

Roberts, heard him scream and jumping in after him, caught the collar of his dress with her teeth while she clung to one of three ropes hanging down the side of the well and used to sus pend meat. Her cries brought her daughter-in-law, Mrs., Lcren Roberts, and she. without hesitating, jumped Into the water. She was unable to do anything but cling to another rope.

S. Roberts fainted as her son picksd her up, but with the others waa remved safely. All were reported as out of danger today.

Moser, vice president of the Portland Coast league ball club and director of the Coast league, declared today. He said that within 60 days he pro posed to ask an injunction against carrying out Landis'. rulings in the so callAd "Kenworthy case," Involving the sale of Bill Kenworthy by Seattle to the Portland club. The suit, he said, will be designed to test Landis' authority. Directors of the league In ses sion heer today advised in a tele gram from Judge K. M. andis that tne league need not sever relations with the Portland Baseball club because of the decision of Judge Landis, barring William H. Klepper. Portland magnate, from baseball so long as. Klepper's activities are confined to "purely cor porate administrative affair." The rule was in answer , to a request from Fsci coast magnate for a definition ofJClepper' status. The telegram said: "The decision of May 24 (barring Klepper) dealt with baseball "matters as distinguished from purely Internal orarate administrative affaire. ' It prohibits all" players, officials, agents and employes" of all leagues and clubs from recognising Kiepper and dealing with him in respect to such baseball matters and in this respect it applies to officials, agents and employes of Port land and to players on the Portland team. Therefore, the Pacific Coast league is not required to cease rela tions with Portland if Klepper's activ ities as president are limited to purely corporate administrative affairs." Following receipt of the telegram the directors took no further action in the Klepper matter and it Is under stood will take no action unless it de velops that persons prohibited by Judge Landis from doing business with him are evading the ruling of the baseball commissioner. It was decided to declare William Kenworthy, former Portland manager, a free agent in 10 days. He is now the property of the league. Hewill be able to sign where he desires outside of the league when de clared a free agent and may return to the league In 1924 under the terms of the Landis decision. U. S. ROAD CHIEF HERE TO INSPECT Thomas McDonald, fSiief of the United States I bureau of public roads through which fedfal aid in state highway construction is administered, reached Portland Tuesday night on his tour of .general inspection, coming over the Pacific highway from California.

From Portland Director McDonald will go to Olympia. He is accompanied by L. L. Hewes, regional director for the Pacific coast, and C. H.' Purcell, dis trict engineer. CHA3TOES JTOTED . In discussing highway development McDonald emphasizes the necessity for placing' highway construction on a business basis by the creation of a sound system, of financing.4 Heretofore methods of raising funds have often been expedients for the time being, he said. . : "Consideration has been given not so much to the-Just distribution of the cost as to how the funds can be raised with least controversy and the utmost ease," he continued. "Then too, the use of the highways and the : service rendered by them has changed greatly within the last few years. OOVEBKMEST. AIDS "Air this leads to the conclusion" that the whole situation should be gone over very carefully, traffic studies made and the cost distributed In pro portion to the service rendered. The bureau of public roads estimates that of the $600,000,000 spent for highways, last year 33 per cent was federal aid and motor vehicle revenues. The . re maining ft per cent eomes either di rectly or will eventually be paid from state and local taxea .
