Speculation, as to possible can
didates for places on the board
of directors of the Salem schools
is being Indulged In as the time
for the annual ichool election
draws near and wlt,h It the terms
of two members of the board are
ended. Three men, all of them
prominent in public affairs, are
either understood to be consider
ing entering the race or are be

any one of the three has folly
announced his candidacy for a
'place..

Is thought. ;
Mr. Simeral, whose activities
.hare been considerable in ward
ing off local labor troubles and
who has been largely responsible
for .the amicable settlement or
-many disputes between laborers
; and employers, is the candidate of
labor and of a large number of
friends. Several petitions are be
ing circulated nominating Mr.
V Simeral.-
Mr. Shields Is one of the lead
ing attorneys of the city and a
member of the law firm of Smith
A Shields. He is considered one
. of the best legal authorities and
1 has been prominent in local pub-
:- lie affairs.
Dr, H H. Olinger was elected
a member of the board about a
Tear and a half ago to fill the
.unexpired term of Chauncey Bish
op. who moved to Pendleton. He
is also prominent in all civic af
'fairs. ,

i Besides Dr. Olinger the other
, member of the. board whose term
or office expires this year is Har
T O. White, who has served
throughout the last two terms of
otnee, Mr. White is chairman of
; the board. It is not know wheth-
,er ne will be a candidate for re
; election.
Members of the board who will
, e carried over for the next. Uy
Trtos of longest service on the
Jrd Mr. Halvorsen is next in
for the chairmanship.
An auction sale of half a hun
dred thoroughbred registered Jer
sey cattle will take place at the
state fair grounds June V. ac
cording to announcement yesterday.
Dr. J. E. Reedy, who operates
a cattle exchange business at Til
lamook, will bring 25 head to
sale, and another 2o at least
come in from other points in th-
Willamette valley.
Among the animals will be the
blood strains of St. Mawes, I'p
rlght'a Chief, Rosaire Olga Ladd
and others. All are heavy pro
ducers and good individual-.
This will practically be the
first time that sales have taken
place out of Tillamook. Hereto
fore Tillamook has been a buying
section. The dairymen there are
determined to build up their herd
to the best possible and make
for their cattle the same reputa
tion they have for their cheese.
Several herds are now on official
test.
BREAD PRICE WILL
STAY UP AND RISE
IN FLOUR RESULTS
FROM WHEAT BOOM
PORTLAND, Or., May 1. Liberal Rains in the wheat
markets during the past 10 days have not only wiped out all
prospects for lower bread prices for the time being but have
resulted in a boost in the wholesale price of flour, bakers an
nounced today.
Portland millers announced a 40c advance in family pa
tents this morning to $8.fi0 a barrel.
At this price a 19-pound sack will retail around $2.10.
Bakers' flour was increased 50 cents a barrel and will
now cost the bread makers from $6.50 to $7.

frequently of Republican senators
how they reconciled that phase
