As ever wishing to be helpful we

words: "The Water Company, May

One way Charlie Hall got his start
In life was when he "assisted his
uncle as custodian of his horse,"
says the pamphlet being circulated
in his campaign. And we expect if
the horse were called on to vote for
Charlie in the primary he would say
"neigh."

Release on Bond Be
cause of Poor Health
Denied by Judge Frick
What Is believed to be authentic
Information reached here from
Portland Thursday that Senator
Wiilard Marks of Albany Is assured
the presidency of the next state
senate.
Tlie Information reaching here
stated that Marks has secured the
pledges of 20 members and pros
pective members of the next sen
ate. There are 14 hold-over mem
bers, or members who will sit with
out election. Normally there will
be 15. but Senator Corbett of Mult-
nomah county has resigned to run
for the-Governorship.
If Marks has 20 pledges he had
had to draw heavily not only on the
hold-over members, but on the pros
hective list. Those expecting to
Tea. we expected Charlie's cam
palgn would develop a "Charlie
horse."
It has been called to our attention
that the Oregon statute providing
for appointment of a guardian of an
incompetent person says the guar
dlan shall be "some discreet person
or an attorney." And no doubt some
attorney drew the statute so ne
should know what he was talking
about.
We wish to make a little belated
acknowledgement of the fuss that
was made over our "Sleeping In the
High School" pome at a recent pre
view at Frank Bllgh's theater. It
seems our pome was set to music,
flashed on the screen with due ack-
knowledgement to the distinguished
poet and Chuck Bier led the singing.

run In the 929 campaign nave uiei
primary elections as well as the
November election to go through, so
apparently there Is a chance for
slip-ups in any pledges now written
by prospects. The votes of 16
members are necessary to elect the
president of the senate.
Senator Eddy of Boseburg has
been mentioned as Marks' princi
pal competitor for the presidency.
Gee, It's great to be a song writer

BISHOP'S DEATH
LEAVES CHURCH
WITHOUT HEAD
Chicago Wl The most Rev. Char
les Palmerston Anderson, presiding
bishop of the Protestant Episcopal
church of the united states oi
America, died Thursday.
The passing of the Episcopal pri
mate leaves his church without a
head and his diocese without bishop
or coadjutor bishop. An election
of coadjutor bishop who would suc
ceed Bishop Anderson was called
Wednesday, scheduled for the dio
cesan convention here next Tues
day.
A special meeting of tne House oi
Bishops will be necessary to choose
new presiding bishop, since no
provision is made for an automatic
succession.
Bishop Anderson had been elected
at such a meeting last November 13
in Washington, after the death of
mos. Rev. John Gardner Murray,
October 3. He assumed the addi
tional duties immediately.
Upon the death of Bishop Ander
son, Right Rev. William Andrew

Washington IIP) After another
conference with his informant In the
government department, Senator
Borah, republican, Idaho, Thursday
wrote a letter to Prohibition Com
mission Dora nand demanded that
John F. Herbert, dry administrator
for Montana and Idaho, either oe
publicly exonerated of the reported
charges against htm, or removed
from that district.
It was disclosed by Senator Borah
that the man who made the report
to him on Herbert record was
Frank S. Flynn.
Flvnn is In the legal department
of the prohibition bureau here. Bo
rah said he wes under the impres
sion Flynn was an agent of the de
partment of justice but when ne
made this statement, Attorney Gen
eral Mitchell chaUenged it.
Wednesday night Flynn returned
to the Idahoan's office and reaf
firmed his previous declarations
against Herbert. After a severe cross
examination, Borah said he was con
vinced that Flynn knew what he was
talking about and for that reason ne
had written Doran.
Assistant Secretary Lowman of
the treasury, in charge of the pro
hibition enforcement, has defended
Herbert against the charges reported
by Borah and also Dy senator wnee
ler of Montana.
In speaking in the senate Monday,
Borah said if the report he had re
ceived on Herbert was true he had
no business "in Idaho or anywhere
else outside of a penitentiary."

WALLOWA PARK
PROPOSAL VETOED
Enterprise, Ore. (LP) The United
States park service is opposed to
the establishment of a Wallowa Na
tional park, according to informa
tion received here Thursday from
Representative R, R. Butler and
Senator Stelwer.
Chief objections to naming the
area as a national park are that
it contains no scenic grandeur, ttaat
it Is not a regular tourist route and
that it Is already designated as a
wilderness area by the national
forest which has the vajor part
of the country under Its Jurisdic
tion. The term wilderness area, It was
pointed out. gives this land a status
which requires that recreational
uses shall have preference over all
other uses.

shows of the French couturiers

next week. However, it seemed to
him that sport skirts should be

Street skirts will be about the
same length. Afternoon dresses will
fall to within nine Inches of the
floor, while evening skirts will be

chairman of the state public service
commission, that the commission has
