Boards Meet
In Portland
That the annual regional con
ference of representatives of reo
ral and state boards for voca

E. E. Elliott, director for the Ore-
Con state board of vocational
training at Salem.
Mr. Elliott has just returned
from Salt Lake where he attend

mental in introducing a resolution
tailing attention of the federal
board to the advantages of Port
land as a convention city. This

'Si 99 Howard Retires
After 31 Years As
Mail Carrier Here
Thirty-one years in ihe service
of Uncle Sam as a mail carrier,
Silas E. Howard is the first man
of the Salem postoffice force to be
retired under the law passed about
year ago pensioning postal em
ployes who spend their lives in
this department of the United
States government.
"I walked for 23 years, dav
after day, and have never l.ad a
corn yet," said Mr. Howard, or
"SI," as his friends call him. "They
don't come, and I guess the rea
son Is I wear a large shoe. I can
wear a-ten but I have been wear
ing elevens and my feet have never
bothered me.
"I came to Salem from Yamhill
county in '77," he continued, "and
entered the service In 'SO when the
postoffice was down in the old W.
C. T. U. hall and Andv .Tlihert

office was moved to rext door

time after moved to its r. resent lo

years.

this one, Maud, is blind and I have

Howard, by the way, is the only
mail collector who drives around
in the little green and covered
wagon collecting mail.
"Salem has been fortunate in
having first class postmasters, ev
ery one of them fine men, and the
present force are all my friends.
The public has been mighty fine
and considerate and stuck by the
carriers when they wanted their
raise. The postal service Is a good
place for a man that has to work.

states. The Pacific region includes
Arizona, Colorado, Wyoming, Mon

various lines of work embraced
under the Smith-Hughes act were
in attendance from each state in
the Pacific region. The depart

cultural college were represented
E. O. Doxsee, Instructor in agri
cultural education, and Miss Hatty

next 11 years I got $70, and then
they started to raise all' carriers
1108 a year until we got as high
as 11500.
"During the time I've been car
rying mall I've worked in all pari
of the city and many a time I've
left the office with a 110-pound
sack of mail on my back and when
I was through the sack would seem
as neavy as when I started. 1 nev

liveries except when the weather
was bad, and never wan held up
or waylaid.
"For the last eight years I've
ben riding, collecting the mail.
Dolly the horse I had for the first
man must possess some tntellignce
to make good."
Mr. Howard is 65 years old to
day and is the father of ten chil
dren. Postmaster Huekestein said
today that everyone in the office
was his friend and that he has
been known for his courteousness
and obligingness to the public,
and his willingness to do any
thing he was asked. He makes
seven of the eight mail collections
a day in the city and will retire
the first of May when he will
visit his children In California.
During all his service he has had
very little illness, the last attack
occurring In January when he
was forced to take a 30-day sick
leave.

Approval of
t Desert Land
Scale Urged
Representatives of tbe Central
Oregon Irrigation company Thurs
day appeared before the desert
land board and urged approval of
a proposed sale whereby tbe Title
ft Trust company of ;ortland
would take over and I nance the
completion of the north unit of the
Central Oregon Irrigation district
with the exception of .sold lands.
It was explained that under this
plan the Central Oregon Irriga
tion company would surrender to
the settler3 of the Central Oregon
district the entire project as ,'ar
as completed, but would reserve
all vested rights necessary to meet
their obligations with the settlera.
Unless the sale Is coiijinp -.ted
and the development of the north
unit project is continued under
terms satisfactory to the govern
ment, it was said that tho state
would lose valuable right now hclo
under the original conlnct.
R. E. Smith representing the
Title & Trust company said hi
corporation was willir to finaiKe
the completion of the norc. unit
uroiect. which, ne estimated would
cost in the neighborhood of 1700
000. This includes the i.orth canal
and dam.
Oswald West, in a statement be
fore the board, said that when
governor of the state he went to
Ohio, and at a conference of tne
bond holders of the original Cen
tral Oregon project, assured these
men uoon behalf of the state of
Oregon that if they would furnish
additional funds to continue the
develooment of the north unit, be
would use his best efforts to see
that the proposed improvement
was carried out. As a result of this
he said the state was morally
bound to make the best deal pos
sible on behalf of the pettlers of
the district and the men who had
orovided funds for financing the
development.

a month ago Mrs. Maybelle

Although it appeared that the
local authorities would be com

the overseer to use her own Judg
