Governor i Meier. In bis letter sent to Kay accompanying the check, said It bad come to bis at tention that the state treasurer had made certain statements re garding bis : .acceptance of prod ucts raised by state institutions. "I find." read Governor Meier's letter, "that during the legisla tive session a box of apples was sent to the execntire department, along with similar boxes of apples sent to other state offices and the press. The apples were accepted in accordance with similar prac tices in the- past. I had no knowl edge of the source from which the fruit came and did not participate In its use. , Didn't Know Dwcka Sowree "Early in my administration. Henry Meyers, superintendent ot the prison, sent me several ducks. I was. at that time, more or lees unfamiliar with state affairs, and did not know that the state main tained a duck tond or that ducks for private use were dressed at state expense. I assumed that they came trees a private source, and accepted them as a personal gift. "The only other donation that came from a state source. I have been told, is a box which contain ed eight heads of broccoli. Pre vious to Its receipt I had receiv ed broccoli from a personal friend at Roseburg. I find, now, that It came from the soldiers home at Roseburg, and that other state of ficials received similar donations.

"These products and articles are paid for by the taxpayers and eonseqnently are the property of the state of Oregon.

Firemen Out 22 Times to Quell Flame (Contained from page 1, ' North Balena and East Salem de partments assisted. - An interview with firemen on duty as to the-, cause of many of the fires revealed tbe following information: Many chimneys are coated on the inside with a char coal formation which adheres to tbe inside of the flues . coming from the smoke. Pitchy wood gives off the blackest smoke and this is more saturated with the carbon composition. When a fire is In a store or fireplace, the car bon on the walls gets intensely bot and It burns like, gasoline. When a strong wind, such as the 50-mlle gale experienced by Willamette valley Tuesday nigbt and Wednesday, blows over the top of a chimney, it causes a vac uum at the top of the chimney and the suction draws air up through the flue, the more the bot carbon substance accompan ies It. The effect of this air cur rent - Is the same as a blower would be It fans the burning carbon into a white heat. Burning Charcoal Is Wafted Away The burning charcoal Is caught by tbe wind, after' It is sucked into the open, and carries the bnrning torch to other localities which might include brush piles and honse roofs. Because the roofs are as dry as tinder at the present time and many are cov ered with dry moss, they servo i good bon-fires when the sparks alight. Fires In Salem recently were as follows: Tuesday, 10:30 p. m.. 1Z6 Lerrene street, chimney; Wednesday 7:30 a. tn., 2040 Warner street, R. W. Maker, roof fire, small damage; 7: SO a. m.. 1130 Madison street, chimney fire; 8:55 a. m., 1515 South Commercial street, George E Brant, roof fire In two or three spots, small loss; 9:07 a. ra., 2670-North Church street tout side city limits), owned-by Mr. Smith, Portland, unoccnpl ed, complete - Joss (amount undeter mined), caused from sparks from tbe. outside, firemen think. At 9:17 a. ra.. 697 North Cot tage street, smoke and grass; 9: 20 a. m.. 1115 North Winter street,' chimney fire; 9:25 a. m.. 1960 Broadway, roof fire, small loss; 9:45 a. m., 1145 Marion street, chimney fire; 10:09 a. m., 2115 Myrtle avenue, chimney fire; 10:10 a. m.. 2407 State street, chimney fire; 11:55 a. m.. South-12th street, residence, to tal loss, occupied but' owner un d t e r m 1 nod (outside city so firemen did not put out); 12:15 p. m., 445 South - 12th street, chimney fire; 12:35 p. m., 1595 North 6th street, chimney fire. Due JLo the fact that most of tbe Wind In this section be come from the south, those ehlmneys which could have caught fire be cause of defects tn construction and settling, have done so before this time. Tbe sudden Increase In this form of fir Is due to the fact that a north wind Is new to this section and chimneys whleh can. catch fire because ot a north wind are beginning to do so, ac cording to firemen.
