They are never in a hurry; they far never late; they are calm end quiet persons; and they always have time to spare for any ioS that may turn up unexpectedly." -v State Department k f. i : fTVLIE state department of agriculture has been the target f A for political gunfire for past months. Candidate Dunne f scolded at the hordes of inspectors who cluttered the agricul tural landscape; and recently Governor-elect Martin has in timated the department was not doing the job it should. In ,: addition a market editor of a Portland daily took a crack at ' the state agriculture department. There may be grounds for 1 ; criticism of the type of organization set up in the department ; ' V. xi i i - t ' uy uie xnexger oi iormer lnuepenuent units; or 01 some ui C the ways in which the department has been conducted. But we are convinced that a thorough and impartial study .will show a great degree of accomplishment by the new depart ment under its director, Max Gehlhar. The director has an ".', nounced his purpose to retire from office, so this comment cannot be construed as designed to defend him in his tenure. Take the matter of inspection; There is inspection in sev eral of the divisions such as plant industry, foods, grain, Xweights and measures. These have operated for .years; the c practice has been well standardized ; the executives were con tinued under the new administration; their work is effi - cient and meets with very little complaint No disinterested ; person would favor relaxing inspection for example of foods I or of weighing devices. The only added inspection service is in the grading of farm products ; but that is a service de manded by Oregon producers. A state certificate of grade for potatoes, celery, lettuce, hops, etc., protects the grower - against unscrupulous buyers or commission men in distant cities whose frequent ruse was to declare the shipment "off grade" and make settlement accordingly. This certification :,. service is not imposed on the growers but requested and paid r for by them and the growth in inspections in three years I from 9,815 to 13,435 cars is proof of its value. The cost is V1 paid by the grower or shipper. Definite progress has been . . . . securing standardization of oi butter nas been made more is expanding Oregon's butter market. Not much progress has ; been made in the marketing field because the legislature has . made no appropriation to finance this work. In addition the more complete marketing service of the federal department of agriculture has made state work less necessary, r New duties have been piled on the department and'ad- ministered to the benefit of agriculturist ; notably the agricul tural adjustment act for the 'state, under which produce codes have been set up; and the produce peddlers and dealers ; act, licensing men engaged in that business for the protec- tion of growers. Gehlhar has consolidated most of the divisions in Salem ' giving unified administration. He has administered his of- "fice with rare economy, transportation costs for example showlnc nnlv 21, r ttiiIp state-owned cars operated by his employes. He reorganized the state fair during the hard times, and with the aid of ; funds from pari mutuef betting has gotten the fair on a firm y financial basis beside doing a large amount of remodeling .. and improving the buildings at the grounds. The director himself would have many suggestions to mate tor rewriting the law under which the department func- . . tions in ordpr tn male it Trmre effpetiva ATnnv Whrt linvA ' bumped into Gehlhar have declared him a hard man to do business with; but no one can say he has not been diligent in the state's interest.

During the day it cleared off, and the next morn ing? we were ready to start; but the Indians who had promised to be our guides had . changed their minds, which. Is generally the case with them,, and we were obliged to seek, for new guides. - "After some time one, who said he knew the way,- promised to go It Boil Over Again? with us; but said we could not take our horse, because of the roughness of the way. But his wife, who became quite Interested Is our behalf, said we could go, and told her husband to go, and not be lazy upon which he said he would go and show us the way for a short distance, and if we would surmount the difficulties we would then meet, we could go the rest of the way. "s "So we set out, and found the short distance bad enough; the briars and bushes were 10 or 12 feet high, and very thickly inter woven, and in addition to this there were two small creeks to cross. . . . After taking us thus far, the Indian told us he would go back and get his breakfast, when, if we succeeded in sur mounting i n e s e obstacles, we would proceed.

"He must be an interesting man.' Kay said. "What's he like? How old is he?" "Boris?" Harrow raised a dark eyebrow reflectively. "I'd ssy he was about thirty maybe two or three years older, no more.

"And I think you're going to be able to handle it just the way Boris intended. Of course, before we're through, Boris fisherman may be a Florida fisherman or a Biminl rum-runner.
