PORTLAND. Ore., APril 25
( AP ) There is ! no need for a
special session of the state legis
lature to enact laws to give the
governor complete control of the
Oregon State penitentiary and
other state Institutions, Governor
Julius L. Meier said In a state
ment to newspapers today
Secretary or State Hal E. Hoss
at Salem today issued a statement
saying he Intended suggesting to
the governor that he call a special
session.
Governor Meier's statement
follows in part:
"While I am loath to engage
Jn a long drawn-out newspaper
controrersy. I feel that I should
answer briefly - the latest ex
planatory statement of Secretary
of State Boss, which I consider is
a real political subterfuge to be
cloud his action in voting for the
retention of Henry Meyers as
superintendent of the 'Oregon
State penitentiary. ' ,
Says Suggestion "
Is Smoke Cloud
"The suggestion of Secretary
of State Hoss that a special ses
sion of the 'legislature be called
to define the duties of the' mem
bers of the board of control ia ut
terly ridiculous. The legislature
has already defined the duties of
the board of control and all that
is necessary is for the secretary
of state and the state treasurer
to function In the interest of the
people.
"Secretary - Hoss was elected
to perform a duty fox the- people
of Oregon and he should not shirk
-It. That duty does not. call. for..
. special session ' of fhinegislature.
"No matter what efforts may
be made to becloud the issues-at
hand X shall continue to do every
thing In my power to bring about
a business administration to re
deem my pledge to the people of
. Oregon.. .- -..

rain right now would work won

The outlook for the various
crops, as sized up by Mr. Macken
zie, Is about as follows:
Present Indications point to a
good cherry crop, and an excep
tionally good loganberry harvest;
strawberries seem to be about av
erage and loganberries are good in
most of the fields. Gooseberries
indicate an average harvest.
- Prunes had a good bloom, but
stems are very short, which might
mean a short crop. Pears are not
setting like they did last year,
giving evidences that the crop
will be short.
There Is prospect for a wonder
ful apple harvest, be believes now.
There is a great deal of activity
In the orchards- of the county, the

Dust Storm
On Record
On Tuesday, May 2. 1843, there
was such a wind and dust storm
at the lower rapids of the Colum
bia that Rev. Gustavus Hines and
Dr. Elijah White and their help
ers, two Indians and a Kanaka,
dared not venture with their ca
noe into the river until 3 In the af
ternoon. The. next day they were
able to make 10 miles through
the rapids and into the wider and
less turbulent river, but were ob
liged to make camp at. noon and
lay by until the next day, the
storm having resumed Its violence.
These facts are from a rare toI

"I want to be fair to all par

earlier in the day when asked
about his plans. "I am merely
making the statement that I will
not resign Monday. I expect to
discuss the situation with tonti
of my best friends." "
On good sources it was learned
yesterday that Mr. Meyers had
virtually assured Slate Treasurer
Kay and Secretary of State Hoss
that his tenure as superintendent
would be brief if the board fenaJ
that charges against. him did not
justify dismissal.
A general meeting of convicts
at which time the announcement

cried.
Governor Meier has indicatet
as far as be Is concerned the res

followed by the appointment of a
new man to take his place. The
governor rather would entrust
the management of the prison to
Lewis, making him either super
intendent and warden or else
leaving the office of superinten

Meyers was appointed to the
office of superintendent in 1927
