DEMOCRATS SHOULD NAME
CANDIDATE SAYS
J. N. Teal, prominent Portlander
and former member of the United (
States shipping board, should be maoe
tho democratic nominee for governor :
of Oregon next year is the view of'
Senator Walter M. Pierce, who was j
here yesterday. Mr. Pierce was here ,
upon another mission but wtien ap- j
nroached on the subject of politics
was found interesting as usual. j
I am not a candidate," said tne
former Umatilla county man when re-;
minded that ho polled a heavy vote
when he ran as democratic nominee
for governor In 1918. "I had my
chance and lost," Is the way nc put n.
The situation In Oregon Is such,
thinks Mr. Pierce, that the people will
desire a strong man for governor.
They will want n man of proven abil
ity and a man who will understand
property and the rlghta of property.
Ho contends that the Portland attor
ney has a prestige as a business man
and lawyer that will arouse confidence
and at the same ttme his many acts of
public service will commend him to the
rank and file of people.
Without casting brickbats at any
narticular Individuals, Mr. Pierce holds
the view that among those now being
mentioned for the republican nomina
tion next spring there are none who
possess any amazing degree of
strength and he thfnks It will be well
for the democrats to groom a strong
man for tho race. Ho la for Josepn i.
Teal and asked to be quoted to that ef
fect.

Don't. Want Tanks
A petition directed to tho council,
signed by J. H. Morris and 38 othei
property holders, asks that an ordln
lnce passed In 1919 which granted au
thority to the Union Oil Co. of Califor
nia for the construction of tanks and
warehouses for the storage of petro
leum and other like products be re
pealed. It is recited In the petition
that the plant will not be good for the
healthof residents living in the vicin
ity. Danger to property by reason of
likelihood of explosions Is another rea
son urged against the concern. The
value of adjacent property would be
decreased if the plant la built. It Is
argued, and it is stated that It Is not
necessary that such property be allow
ed a place within the city limits.
The petition also claims that the
Umatilla Flour and Grain Co. will be
rnnble to operate If the plant is finish
ed because the fumes of petroleum will
Inint flour. Judge S. A. Lnwell spoke
In behalf of the petitioners and called
attention to the city council to the fact
that the original ordinance provided
that the company have a plant con
structed within a year, or otherwise
the ordinance would be void. This
part of the agreement was not fulfill
ed, fie declared, and he questioned the
authority of the council when the time
of grace was continued by passing of
a motion. The matter was referred
to the city attorney for an Investiga
tion. The final assessments prepared for
the improvement districts from 7 J to
77 Inclusive were accepted. A pro
posal for the construction by the city
of cross streets In districts where the
old crossing have been condemned
was turned down after an examination
of the state of finances had been made.

Starting with two pairs of the cross
bred animals in the spring of 1920, Mr.
Young now has 14 of the foxes, three
of which are the much desired "sil

mill, and the foxes are kept in a stock-
nde-like building which is open on top.
The foxes are kept in separate pens.
The care of the animals is relatively
a simple matter. Mrs. Young Is as
enthusiastic about foxes as her hus
band, and hers is the Joy of feeding the
animals. Their diet Is a bread made
of bran shorts, mixed with meat
"cracklings' and yeast, cooked a good
deal as one will bake bread. Then
they like fresh meat, and their appe
tite for this dainty is cared for at
Young's by special feeds twice a week

are bred particularly to provide fresh
meat. In the winter, horse ment i
