Frank Sever Resigns An-
other Election Contest
Looms This Year
O. P. Hoff, state treasurer of
Oregon, died In - Emmanuel hos
pital, Portland, at 7:40 o'clock a
m. yesterday after an illness ot
many months.
Immediately upon information
of Mr. Hoff's death reaching Sa
lem, Governor Pierce announced
the appointment of Jefferson
Myers of Portland as state treas
urer to succeed Mr. Hoff. He will
take charge of the state treasury
today. Cj
Mr. Hoff had been ill for about
two years and had not been at
his office for nearly a year. In
the last four or five months his
illness had become acute and was
pronounced cancer.
Held Labor Office
Mr. Hoff had held office In Ore
gon for 21 years. In 1903 he
was elected state labor commis
sioner and held that office con
tinuously for 15 years by succes
sive elections. In 1918 he was
elected state treasurer and was
re-elected in 1922. He was born
in Norway May 17, 1863, and came
to the United States by way of
Quebec when he was 17 years old
He settled at MHwaukie, Wis., and
attended night school' to learn the
English language. He had read In
Norwegian the life of Lincoln, and
he made this his text-book in his
study of English.
Goes fo Alaska
For a time Mr. Hoff followed
the lumber business. About the
year 1880 he came to the Pacific
coast and later went to Alaska.
From Alaska he returned south to
California and worked for a time
as a carpenter in San Francisco
and for about a year as a prospec
tor. Later he came to Oregon, and
settled at Eugene, where, in 1888,
he was married to Miss Alice Par
sons, daughter of Ellis' C. Parsons,
a pioneer merchant. During his
early days in Oregon he worked
on a farm and then for some years
was in the employ of the Southern
Pacific company.
Wife and Son Left
Mr. Hoff is survived by his
widow .. and one son, Norlyn P
Hoff. A daughter died at the age
of 5 years. Funeral arrangements
have not been completed, and yes
terday there was uncertainty
whether the interment would be
in Portland, or in Eugene where
the child was buried.
Mr. Myers, who was appointed
successor to Mr. Hoff, was sworn
in at 2 o'clock yesterday after
noon in the office of Governor
Pierce, Justice George H. Burnett
of the supreme court, a friend of
many years, administering the
oath of office. Mr. Myers imme
diately set about making arrange
ments tp file his bond, which will
be in the amount of $350,000
and under the law could not open
the treasurer's office for business
until this was1 done. It could not
be completed in time to open the
office yesterdays but presumably
the office will be open early today
at the usual hour.
Sever Resigns Post.
Frank Sever, who has been dep
uty Btate treasurer under Mr. Hoff
handed his resignation to Mr
Myers1. This was not for political
reasons but due to the fact that
Mr. Sever has been desirous of
quitting the office for many
months, but did not do bo because
of the illness of Mr. Hoff. State
Treasurer Myers said yesterday
that he had no one in mind to
succeed Sever.
Myers, widely known because of
his association with large finan
cial institutions in Portland and
prolonged activity In public life, is
a native of Oregon, born in August
1863, at Scio, Linn county. His
father, David Myers, a Hollander,
was a California pioneer of 184
and his mother, May McDonald
