I NO SUPPORT FOR OLCOTf FROM HAli Defeated Candidate Is sues Statement Declar ing That he is Under no Obligation To Winner, Tortland, Aug. 18. Senator Charles Hall has declared la a public statement that he Is under no obligation to support Govern or Olcott. He puts the blame for the fall ure of his contest proceedings upon the court. In fact, he does not recognize Olcott aa the regular republican nominee, holding his certificate of nomination to have resulted from democrats having changed their registration on election day. Whether he will announce an Independent candidacy he does not state, but he hints It He concludes that his purpose Is "to advise friends and foes that my obligation to support the nominee, assumed when I entered the primaries, does not bind mo to support an alleged ' nominee when the certificate of nomina tion Is secured by democrats changing registration on election day, contrary to the spirit of the law and the Intent of the legis lature." Text of Statement Hall's statement follows: " "I have been asked repeatedly what my future course would be In view of the abandonment of the election contest suit In the circuit court of Marlon county. "It Is unfortunate that It is not possible to appeal to a higher court some of the varlouB decis ions of the circuit court which have been handed down In inter pretation" of the election laws. The fundamental object sought to be obtained by the primary law that of separating the "parties so that each party can select its own standard bearers without inter ference, from other parties Iihh been wiped out by one of the cir cuit court decisions from which 1 am advised there 1b no appeal. It has come as a Bhock to my sup porters to learn that the court can stamp as legal the Invasion of the republican primary by thou sands of Democrats and members of other parties for the sole pur pose of "casting their vote upon religious and un-American grounds Introduced Into the cam paign by Ciovernor Olcott's varj ous proclamations and thus force upon the voters of Oregon prac tically a second democratic nomi nee. Neither does It accord with the apparent Intention of that statute prohibiting priests, preachers and officers of churches from influencing voters except by 'public speech or public print' to receive from the court a decision that proof In such cases cannot Include Interrogation of eithor the priests themselves or of the voters themselves as to how such voters cast their ballots, as coun sel have advised the only con clusive proof In respect to this mutter must be the admission by each voter illegally influenced that he was coerced. Eereeristration Allowed. "Prior to primary day Portland newspapers carried the statement that the election authorities held that rereglstratlou to parties oth er than those in which the voter was registered would not bo per mitted on election day, but It ap pears that in those precincts In Marlon county where the support era of Olcott were otherwise ad vised they were permitted to vote and did vote for Mr. Olcott. This reregistration appears to havo been permitted generally in only a few of the counties. "Throughout the campaign, as well as since the election, I have " refrained from speaking or writ ing a word that would be fairly interpreted as encouraging relig ious or other dissensions. It Is absolutely true that I did take and still take a positive definite stand in favor of the so-called 'compulsory school bill' and of all those principles of the American public school system involved in the proposed passage of that bill, because I know that the public school system is one of the funda mental factors in our system of government, and I favor compul sory attendance therein at least iu the primary grades. I believe in teaching pure Americanism to all pupils, beginning at an early age, and making every effort to strengthen and build up this typi cal American institution, I am conscious of no religious preju dices, but I place my loyalty to the American public school sys tem above the threat of religious opposition. " Ready to Serve. "So far as any office in con cerned. I have no ambitions. If It is possible for me, however, to further a princlpfe or advance .cause which will utip or Improve my fellow-cltlien or enable me to devote my best efforts to better ing the present economic situation f the state, it would appear to be my duty to sacrifice my per sonal desires and think only of iihe service that may be rendered. "Oregon today stands In a pe-j Clergymen Whether Columbia, Mo.'Aug. 18 Is Bill cido ever justified t Can the moral law "Thou shalt not kill!" be interpreted, under and condition, to the soul salva tion of a self-destructionistf . Clergymen of the middle west are divided over these questions, as are friends of pretty Stella Mar shall, popular town belle, and teach. er in the little Baptist bunday school here, who lies in her grave, the victim of her own hand. Her story is withont precedent in the ecclesiastical law of life and death. Miss Marshall's Sunday school class was giving an entertainment. The young teacher went into her garden to cut a corsage bouquet of roses for the fluffy organdie dress she wore. She carriod a razor-edged butcher knife. Papers, gathered from the street during a windstorm, cluttered the yard. Mibs Marshall, gathered these into a bundle and touched a lighted match to them. Then she turned to the cutting of her roses, A moment later and her dress was afire. A scream then a moment of frantic effort to beat out the flames hlch had enveloped the girl's body. Then, dropping to her knees, the burning girl prayed: "Dear God!" J. K. rash, a next- door neighbor, heard her cry, "for give me! Forgivo me!" The flames had reached Miss Marshalrs hair her body was a torch. Nash vaulted a fence in his ef fort to reach, the girl's side. But beforo ho could do so Miss Marshall placed the blado Of tho butcher knife he carried to her throat. A moment lator she fell tho veins of life had been cut. Frantically Nash beat oirt the flames which toy now had burned deep into the flesh of tho girl. But the knife had made a fatal wound Miss Marshall died before medical aid could bo administered. Physicians who lator examined the body expressed tho belief Miiis Marshall's burns would npt have proved fatal. She would have been disfiguered for life however. ' culiar position before the country. Struggling under a tax burden al most unbearable, it Is torn and worn by religious political war fare. Those In official position who should give thought to and aid In a solution of economic prob lems are content with doing those things which appear to bring tem porary political preferment. "I wish to take this occasion to express my deepest appreciation to that plurality of the republi cans who so generously supported me in the primaries, and also to those who instituted and prose cuted the contest In my behalf. "The purpose of this Btatemetit is to advise friends and toes that my obligation to support the nom inee, assumed when I entered the primaries, does not bind me to support an alleged nominee when the certificate of nomination le (secured by democrats changing registration on election day con trary to the spirit of the law and the Intent of the legislature." DEER SEASGN OPENS AUGUST 20, CONTINUES OPEN UNTIL OCTOBER 31 Through the spreading of er roneous reports, hunters of west ern Oregon have been considet ably confused regarding the game seasons recently changed by the stato game commission, according to a report Issued by the commis sion. This report said that tho deer season would open August 20 and continue open until October SI, with a limit of two buck deer for the Beason to eurh hunter. The only other game which it will be lawful to kill will be grouse and native pheasants from August 20 to September 20, with a limit of five birds In one day or 10 In any seven consecutive days. The season on Chinese pheas ants and quail will not open until Ocfoher 15, to continue until Oc tober 31. Numerous hunters have delay ed their regular summer vacation until the latter part of August be cause of the earlier opening of the deer season this year, and the game commission reported an un precedented number of hunters will be in the mountains Sunday tor the opening day of the season. A spark from a blacksmith forge set fire to some dry grass on the J. J. Murphy place east of Ashland and burned over 4000 acres of grass and underbrush, destroying several miles of rail fencing.

Unable To Suicide f Miss Marshall's father, E. O. Marshall, a merchant hero, justi fies his daughter's act upon a childhood experience of his daugh ter. 'Stella, when a very small girl, was painfully burned," tho father says. "Since then I havo heard her say niny times that she preferred death to the agony she suffered at that time. I bolive this foar, grown to a mania, led my daughter to commit on act over which she had no control." Clergymen of the middle west al lied with tho liiberalist school of theology declare the state of Miss Marshall's mind at tho moment she took her lifo would servo as her justification in the tribunal of the moral law. "If Miss Marshall, at the moment sho killed herself, believed that death would remit from the flames which wore consuming her body she had the .moral right to relieve tho YEOMEN URGED TO CONSIDER OREGON SITE Telegrams urging directors of the Brotherhood of American Yeomen to visit Oregon and tho Pacific coast before making a se lection of site for the new $2, 000,000 orphans" home planned by the organization have been dent to Des Moines, Iowa, by Pa cific coast directors of the fra ternal association, Governor Ol cott, the state chamber of com merce, the Portland chamber of commerce and other civic organi zations.

James I' Peoples, local clergyman says. Opposed to this is the teaching of other of the city s leading nun isters, who are emphatic in their doclnration that the commandmnnt. "Thou shalt not kill!" was binding on Miss Marshall. "Clod gives human life," they ar gue "only God can take it."

Misrep resentation by the Oregon. Grow ers' Cooperative association in ob taining his signature to a con tract for the marketing of fruit is alleged by George W. Birthch ett of Dever, this county, in his answer to suit brought against him by the association. The coun ter charges were filed in the Linn county circuit court here. Incom petent management also was al leged in Birthchett's answer, there by making .the marketing contract unfalr ln equity. He Bays that he received only 1314.41 for his 1920 crop when he had been of fered $2711,25. Birthchett was sued for his failure to fulfil his part of the contract.

Besides the paper making ma chine there will be installed in the new unit additional beaters, Jor don, all necessary stock chests and finishing room machinery such as trimmers, cutters, rewlnders In fact, a complete plant to make it possible to handle not only the new production, but also to round out the equipment already In stalled. New Machine Efficient. The new 116-foot Bagley & Sewall Fourdrlnier paper machine to be installed is a decided im provement over the two machines now In operation and it will not only have a larger fourdrlnier end but will have a Mlllspaugh sue tion couche roll, a Millspaugh suction press and first and second granite press rolls, snioothening rolls, about 60 per cent more dry ing capacity also n. will, be driven by the General Electric company't individual motor drive. The couche roll, first, second and third press rolls the dryer, calander, winder reel and shake will be all individual direct current motor driven and will vary from the gen eral run of installations of this nature by being connected to Us part by silent chains Instead ot ;ears. This Is an entirely new departure and It will make the in stallation of an electric drive on paper machines considerably cheaper and make It possible for slow running high grade paper nacliines to be driven by Individ ual motors and synchronism in stead of by the old Marshall drive system. This will save ln the cost of Installation, power and will cut ibe cost of maintenance consider ably. Quality Work Insured Both the other machines now in operation, the 112 inch cylinder and 1 n iiK'k Baglev and Sewall Four- Irinier machine are driven elec trically but through a line shafl with Marshall drives. This new ma- hine is particularly adapted and built for the production of high rade papers such as white and col ored bonds, writing papers, adding machine papers, light weight type writer papers, giassiue and grease proof. To make good paper the essen tial requirements are good wood and water. There -is no better wood than that which can be secured loc ally and the water is as good as anv where, iu faet, belter than nost mills. 'Tho water is f'lumed in from the Saiitiam river, a mountain stream, and after reaching the mill passed through a complete Cali fornia Filter company's filtering system of the. pressure itype which is able to handle 6,000,000 gallons of perfectly filtered clear water. The pump capacity is 10,000,000 gallons per day and arrangements have been made that at any time there should be the necessity of ad- ling to the filter system "that there never should be any shortage ot TODAY and TOMORROW ERTY THEATER. .

Just for comparison it may bo stated that the capacity is three times the heaviest summer load of the Salem water system and more than four times the average day's requirements of the whole city. Power Demands Heavy The eompany uses more power than most people might guess. It electrie equipment, with the now paper machine and other machin ery installed, will have a connected load capacity of 3000 horsepower though as not everything "would ba in service at any one time, the peak load in actual service is estimated at about 2000 horsepower. The compunv owns an important local power possibility that is now being developed. This is the "canal and power rights on Ivorth, Mill creek, the power project that belong ed with the old Scotch Mills that burned down a number of years ago. The water is taken out of the creek between High and Church streets, five blocks from the old mills that were built down by ithe river; and the water was brought by canal to the mills, where there is a head of lose to 40 feet at low stage of the river, with the quantity ot water available, this should develop a max imum of more thau 800 horsepower; power output that will bo de creased with the rise of the river, but that will always give them a splendid, money-saving installation. New turbines are to be put in, and the plant made strictly modern. The wheels will drive tho genera tors and transform all ithe power nto electric energy, to be carried three-quarters of a milo down to the paper mill. The concrete dam to divert the waters into the canal and give control facilities in case of flood, is now being built; the whole plant is to be in operation this winter. A wooden dam was put in last winter, as a temporary venture, to test out the power pos sibilities but the flood in November took it out, and the project has lain idle for eight months, until now. The paper null is spending ap proximately $43,000 a month, in nd around Salem, for wood, labor power, for all its operations. It is mploying 170 men at the present time; with the addition of the new units, it will have to increase its force quite largely. TOASTED CORN FLAKES 'TT Via V F1 longer.
