BEAN 4 NOT AS EASY t Dr. Hector Macpherson, of the department of economics Agricultural college, is out with a statement embodying a plan for the complete reorganization of all the machinery of the state government - The abolition of our sixty-four boards and commissions and a number of elective officers-and the organization of their functions under nine departments; "state, law, finance, public works, agriculture, commerce;;labor and industry, pub lic welfare, and education. - There is no doubt hat such a reorganization is needed; no doubt that it would result in both increased efficiency and greater economy ; much greater -R ;' But the bringing about what would amount to a commission form of our state govern meht is- not as easy a task before- Several times. But it has been fought by many people, and it will.be fiercely fought again. Dr. Macpherson seems to have given up everything else to take up He proposes to ask the next legislature to make the change; or to submit it to a vote of the only submit it to a vote, any tutional changes. The plan of Dr. Macpherson calls for the appointment of all the heads of the nine departments by the governor by and with the approval of the senate ' . , Excepting the last one nained. The department of edu cation would be elected by the plan. . - The writer, is no prophet; prediction that this plan, or any plan of complete reorganiza tion of the Oregon state government, will need several hot campaigns, covering a number of years, to ptjt it over. WILL THE SUGAR FACTORY BE HERE? The proposed beet sugar factory, to be built by the Utah Idaho Sugar company in case the farmer? of the Willamette valley will contract to grow 8000 acres of sugar beets, and show that they have the kind of land with which they can make sugar beets a profitable crop, is presumably to be in Salem ' Because the negotiations have been carried on through the Salem Chamber of Commerce ; because the greatest in terest in the matter has been exhibited here; because experi mental plats have been grown here for two years, the results of which were satisfactory giving in every case indications of a product with a satisfactory commercial percentage of spsUcrosc (sugar), and in some cases a reasonably, high per . centage , ' & -'Ahd also indicating, a .per acre tonnage high enough to iri'ake sugar beets a profitable, crop fpr. the farmers f ?

Louis Mead. 33, of Clarksdale, was killed by lightning when a bolt struck a school build ing: in which he had sought shel ter. At Jacksonville the second big flood in two days threatened when rain began falling in torrents at 3 o'clock. The city is without commercial lights and its gas sup ply is almost exhausted. The chamber of commerce ordered all busniess houses closed at 6 p. m. South Beardston was virtually vacated during the day as the river rose and stopped bridge traf fic and forced the use of a ferry. . The southern quarter of Naples was flooded, forcing many fami lies to evacuate. Flood warnings on the Mississ ippi, above the mouth of the Mis souri river, and for the Illinois river, were issued by the weather bureau at St. Louis. The Illinois river rose .15 In ches at Naples where train serv ice was interrupted and the pump ing plant shut down. The towns people used row boats to get to the stroes. Volunteers spent the day build ing temporary levees around Liv erpool on both sides of the river, where it was declared even a slight wind would wreckthem. Ap peals were sent to the government shipyard at Peoria for aid. At Peoria, the river passed flood stage of 22.2 feet last night. Rivers and creeks In southern Kansas inundated farm lands for the secondvtlme this fall, swelled by rain which began yesterday af ternoon.

Up to Friday night 73,820 . persons had passed through the turnstiles. une record was set this year, however, for on Wednesday, Sa lem day, the largest crowd that ever attended the fair on any one single day was present- A total of 31,850 persons paid their way in that day. Fair officials are satisfied with the" financial re turns, even if. they are not quite up to those of 1925. Yesterday was-officially sched uled on the program as Shriner's day, but only afew could be seen on the grounds. The crowd was not large, and attendance at the races on Lone Oak track was smaller than any day since Mon day. ' All judging and competition closed yesterday noon with the completion of the girls canning contest. Most of the boys and girls club members who bad. come for the week began leaving im mediately. Pavilions and barns will soon pass into quiet and repose that will continue for another year un til the hordes begin arriving for the 1927 fair. STOP SOUR, ACID -II II Stepr Into, any Drug Store.

Cobletz in Arizona Station WASHINGTON, Oct. 2. (AP) Further .j investigation into the nnssihilltv that life can exist on the planet Mars will be undertak en this winter by Dr. W. W. Cob lentz at the Lowell pbservatroy, near Flagstaff, Arizona. He has left the capital for thai place equipped with the latest model of heat measuring instru ments which enable close calcula tions of-the actual surface temper atures on the planet. Although Mars is forty. million miles distnat the instruments are said to dis tinguish between night and day temperatures, and between tem pefpturetr at different localities at the! same time. . ljr. Coblentz first attacked the problem about tw oyears ago and reported that noonday tempera tures in certain Martian dark ar eas had at the same time temper ature ranging from 14 to 41 de grees. The dark spots are believ ed to denote spaces covered with vegetation, while the light ones are tentatively described as desert plateaus. During the winter at the Martian north pole, the tem perature was fairly constant at 94 degrees below zero. The basis of the instrument used in measuring the Martian heat is the thermocouple, a weld ing where tw odifferent metals join. When the thermocouple is exposed to the radiated heat from Mars, infinitesimal as this energy Is, there arises through the weld ing a slight electric current, the variation of which can be meas ured. From this phenomenon Dr. Coblentx has bj?en enabled to make his calculations as to the probable temperature of the heat source to which the instrument points.
