Monmouth Firemen Hunt lost' Fire Monmouth A bit of confu sion was caused Tuesday at 1:30 a.m. when the local fire depart ment was called upon to take the rural fire department truck to a fire described to the best of their understanding to be "two miles west of Monmouth." Whether "sleep got in their ears," or whether they received inaccurate instructions was not determined, but they toured the road west and north of Monmouth to no avail, finally calling for more Information, only to find that the blaze. which had been in some lumber two miles east of Monmouth at the edge of Independence, had in the meanwhile been extin guished by men manning the rural fire truck at Independence.

Buster Crabb "CAGED Fl'RY" mm immm Republicans to Control Oregon Legislature Portland, Ore., Nov. 3 ii Republicans won control of the 1949 Oregon legislature, but the democrats made small gains. Returns from Tuesday's general election showed the GOP leading in 12 senate races. With 10 holdover members, that would give them 22 seats. Democrats were leading in five senate contests, and with two hold- overs, would give them seven seats. One contest was in doubt. Republicans controlled the 1947 legislature 23 to 3. In the races for the 60 house seats, republicans were leading in 49 and democrats in eight. The other three were doubtful. The ratio in 1947 was 58 re publicans to two democrats. It looks like the 1949 legis lature will be the most inexper ienced in many years, and it will have to deal with a severe financial problem. It will faci; a huge deficit and will be hard pressed to find the money. At least 33 of the 60 house members will be newcomers, and 13 of the 30 senators will be new. The Marion and Clackamas county courts will have to name two senators, because Sen. Douglas McKay, Salem, and Sen. Howard C. Belton, Canby, will resign. McKay was elected governor, and Belton will be the new treasurer. All incumbent senators who sought reelection were leading, although some of them were in close races. Sen. William E. Walsh. Coos Bay republican and candidate for the senate presidency, had small margin over Elton A Schroeder, Myrtle Point. Walsh's opponents for the sen ate presidency are holdovers, Sen. Angus Gibson, Junction City, and Sen. Rex Ellis, Pen dleton. Sen. Charles H.
