Ruple was entirely destroyed by fire Tuesday night as Mr. Ruple was on his way home. He had got about four miles east of Silverton when the car stopped. Mr. Ruple lit a match to see what time it was, and threw the match back of the car. It seems the gas had leaked out of the car, leaving a trail, which caught fire. Mr. Ruple tried to 'shove the car out of the way but the fire followed the gas oline trail and destroyed the car. The car was covered by insurance. Silverton Mayor Formally Enters as Candidate for Commissioner John II. Porter of Silverton, yes terday filed his declaration as a candidate for the republican nomi nation as county commissioner to succeed J. T. Hunt, whose term will expire January 1 next. Mr. Porter states in his platform that he will use his best efforts to secure economy in county expendi tures and favors carrying out the present road building program as laid out by the late Judge Bushey. He wishes printed on the ballot, following his name, his slogan as follows: "Strictest Economy in County Expenditures." Mr. Porter is a native of Marion county, and is descended from Ore gon pioneers of the early fifties. He lived in the same neighborhood in the vicinity of Silverton, for 53 years. Mr. Porter is a farmer. About three years ago he removed from his farm to the city of Silver- ton. He still retains his farming Interests and is one of the heavy taxpayers of the county. Shortly after taking up his residence in Silverton Mr. Porter was elected councilman, leading his ticket for that office. Afterward he was unanimously chosen as mayor of the city and still holds that office Mr. Porter served as school direc tor for twenty-one years, and has been deputy assessor in Marion county for three years. He feels that he is fully conversant with the needs of all sections of the county, and his friends declare that he is one of the best qualified men who has been mentioned for the office of commissioner in many years. and they confidently predict that he will be nominated and elected by a large majority. Courts to Decide Tenure Of Mr. Myers in Office Governor Pierce said yesterday that he will leave it to the courts to decide whether Jefferson Myers, whom the governor appointed tate treasurer to succeed O. P. Hoff, shall serve only through the pres ent year or through the entire un expired term of Mr. Hoff. The governor deliberately made the appointment until 1927, he said, although the constitution of the state provides that appoint ments to fill vacancies In cases of death, resignation or other ina bility to serve shall hold only un til the successor to the appointee is elected and qualified through the next general election. Attorney General Van Winkle declares that the law has been held by the state supreme court to mean that the appointee can not hold through the unexpired term This was the case of Baker vs. Payne when Governor Pennoyer appointed George E. Chamberlain as attorney general. The court held that Chamberlain could hold only until his successor was elect ed and qualified through the next general election. 4 Blessed are the peace makers. n FILES N They have it soft in a world full SUFETY TALK BY SNEUNG 0 Motorists Urged to Be Care ful and Avoid Serious Gutter Fire Possibility of a gutter fire that would seriously damage all auto mobiles parked in one Salem block 'Is seen by R. O. Snelling, manager of the Associated Oil company, who urged motorists to take great er precautions when handling gas oline, in a short talk at the Rotary clab luncheon Wednesday. He pointed out that it is a common habit of motorists to fill their gasoline tanks too full, leaving a tiny stream running to the pave ment. Some time a careless smok er will drop a lighted match or cigar butt with dangerous results, he said. w "Now that the camping, picnic and fishing season is near, motor ists should take more care with their gasoline, for in spite of the popular belief of many people that the quality of gasoline has deter iorated, it is still highly inflam able," Mr. Snelling said. "The common gasoline stoves used by campers are dangerous unless pro per precautions are taken. Many campers are also very careless about building camp fires close to the rear of their automobiles. Even when handling gasoline out In the open it must be remembered that the fumes are heavier than the air and often settle in pockets, remaining long after the cause has been removed." Mr. Snelling said his remarks were caused by the recent tragedy at Albany which resulted in the death of Dr. Arthur Leininger. Mr. Snelling said he has investigated the accident and believed it to have been caused by a leak in the container. Dr. Leininger used a two-gallon tank and blow torch. After using this for soldering, the hose was hung back on the tank before all flame had been extin- Tonight and Tomorrow Mat. OREGON Million) Stmyb Utiles r guished. A slight leak fed the flames, which were sucked back into the tank, causing the explos ion. He also pointed out other accidents that have occurred re cently through carelessness. In one instance a huge tank was be ing reopened, and though it had not been used to contain gasoline for nearly two years, sufficient fumes and gases remained to cause a serious explosion.
