message ot congratulation
forwarded to Walter M,
Pierce, - victorious gubernatorial
candidate, this morning by Gov
ernor Ben W. Olcott who concedes
"a very decisive victory" to his
opponent for the executive seat,
"Please accept my congratula
tlons upon your very decisive vie
tory," the governor's message to
Pierce reads. "If there ia any way
I may assist you in your new du
ties command me. Oregon means
more than the personal fortunes
of any man or set of men and it
is my hope that under your ad
ministration she may grow and
prosper."
Governor Olcott has accepted
hie defeat wtih good grace and his
comment upon the outcome of
Tuesday's balloting which has
cost him the executive seat is
without any touch of bitterness or
resentment.
"Our defeat is decisive and the
people of Oregon have determined
they desire another ' executive,"
the governor declared in a state
ment to the press this morning.
"To all who unhesitatingly
given their loyal and splendid
support to me and the principles
for which I stand I extend by most
sincere and hearty thanks. Their
friendships will be one of the
most treasured memories I may
take back with me to private life
"I stood for certain -principles
in this campaign with the firm
belief and knowledge that those
principles are right. Eventually
they will prevail.
"I have no regret in leaving the
governor's chair. Not that I have
been anything but proud to serve
the people of a great state in the
capacity of their chief executive
but because It is a chair of stress
and trouble and during the ap;
proaching years, with new and
great problems facing the execu
tive, it will be all the more so.
I owe the people of Oregon a
deep debt of gratiude for their
(Commence 'in mo during many
years in public office. I sincere
ly trust that I may have been of
some service to my state and its
people.
"I believe Oregon is the fairest
state in the union. It is my wish
and hope that what cancour and
biterness may exist will be wiped
out overnight and that we may
take our place where we belong
a peaceful, happy, prosperous
people living under the slogan,
all for one and one for all.' "

Mr. Thompson will take his
Place in the council, the first of
the year.
At the weekly luncheon of the
Rotary club today Herbert C.
Nunn, chief engineer of the state
highway department, in making
the address of the hour recited
something of the progress in road
building that has been made in
Oregon since 1913 when there
were about two miles of paved
road-
"Paved roads are traveled now
that were hardly, thought of 10
years ago. The Columbia river
highway was not graded until
914 and not opened to Hood
River until 1915."
To pay for the upkeep of the'
roads and to meet the payment
on bonds as they come due, Mr.
Nunn said that the tax on gaso
line and motor vehicles, were re-
ponslble for a large amount.
For the year of 1922 the tobb
income Is estimated at $3,200,000
or $24.94 per car based on an es
timated registration of 133,189
cars.
"The total funds expended in
the period 1917,1922 total 867..
000,000 divided as follows after
deducting $3,600,000 for the in
terest and principal on bonds and
$1,300,000 for maintenance:'
"Paving 40 per cent, rock or
gravel surface 18 per cent, grad
ing 84 per cent, bridges 8 per
cent."
