Olcott (Continuedjrom Page 1) In Salem he became acquaint ed with Oswald West, who later became governor, and the friend ship between the two was a fac tor in Olcott's also becoming Governor. Also they became brothers-in-law, West having married Miss Mabel Hutlon of Salem and Olcott later married her sister, Lena Hutton, on Christmas day in 1912. After Olcott had been in Sa lem a short time Olcott and West took a one-year hunting and prospecting trip in the moun tains, after which Olcott return ed to Salem and re-entered the employe of William Brown & Co., by whom he had been em ployed soon after first arriving here. About a year later he en tered the employe of the Ladd & Bush bank. In 1897 he again went pros pecting, and joined the "Wild Horse" gold stampede to British Columbia. Returning to Keiths- burg, 111., he became cashier of the Citizens State bank, remain ing there until 1904. In that year he went to Alaska and mushed 1000 miles from Nome to Fair banks. He took a position in a branch bank at Chena, located at the head of navigation on the Yukon, and was also gold dust teller and buyer for the Fair banks Banking company in Alas ka in 1905 and 1906. He returned to Salem and en tered the state land office under West who at that time was land agent. West became governor in 1911 and in April of that year when Frank W. Benson, secretary of state died, West appointed Ol cott as secretary of state. Ol cott was elected to the office in 1912 and again in 1916. The secretary of state was the successor to the governorship in event of death or resignation of the governor. Governor James Withycombe died in 1919 and Ol cott succeeded to the office. He served until 1923 when he was defeated by Walter H. Pierce. After the governorship Olcott went to Long Beach, Calif., as manager of a branch of the Bank of Italy, but shortly returned to Oregon and made his home in Portland. He was director of Oregon Mutual Savings bank in that city. He was a member of the Elks and the Masons and of Al Kader Shrine of Portland. Mrs. Olcott died several years ago. He is survived by three sons, Chester Wallace Olcott,, Gordon West Olcott and Richard Hutton Olcott. The two latter are twins. 525 Homes (Continued from Page 1) Those who receive house lum bers under the mounted deliv ery system may consider such numbers as permanent, unless a complete renumbering program for the entire area is undertak en, reports the postmaster.

A large wate: tank crash ed, flooding the area. Ed Ritter of Riverside said he was sitting in a service sta tion in Tehachapi when he heard a terrifying rumble. I "The earth rocked convul sively and the entire faces of buildings crumbled and fell in." In seconds, he said, the town was "turned into a shambles." Another amateur quoted Carl (Turner of the Kern County Sher iff's aero detail, who flew in Red Cross workers, as reporting two thirds of the city's buildings col lapsed, with one house caved in and a family probably trapped. In Sacramento, the state cap ital state civil defense headquar ters ordered medical equipment mobilized to fly into the area. Tehachapi, with a population of about 3,000, is on U.S. 466 be tween Bakersfield and Mojave, a little mountain town 4.000 feet high, many of whose residents work at the big monolith Port land cement plant nearby. It also is the site of the State Women's Prison, which was re ported so hard hit that most of its cluster of two-story buildings are unusable. A call went out for tents in which to house the 327 inmates, including all of California's women convicted of felonies. The prisoners were reported panic stricken but unhurt. Sheriff's Capt. F. D. Jones said he understood most of the dead were in an old brick hotel. The town's residential district was damaged, but no deaths were reported there. Caveins were reported in at least two tunnels in the area, used Jointly by the Santa Fe and Southern Pacific railroads, and all travel was blocked. The S.P.'s main line to San Francisco, which runs along the coast, was not damaged. The San ta Fe said it would move its passengers by bus. But the main-traveled route between here and Bakersfield. the Ridge Route U.S. 99 was blocked by a slide near Gorman. A highway patrolman said "it seems like the top of a moun tain slid off," burying the busy, four-lane freeway route under 25 feet of dirt at one point.

Edwards, 32, a travel ing accountant who had offices in the Oregon building, died Sunday afternoon from gas asphyxiation at 1175 Nebraska street. Coroner Lesion W. Howell said Edwards apparently took his own life. Edwards, in an unconscious condition, was found shortly be fore 3 o'c'ock by Miss Billie Scott, who lives in the house. She observed the odor of gas and called police. Officers found all burners on a gas stove open. ! Edwards left a note to Miss Scott. The coroner said that Miss 'Scott and Edwards were out to Igether Saturday evening, had a disagreement and that Miss Scott went away with friends. She told the coroner, Howell said, that she returned home early Sunday morning, saw Ed wards lying on the couch in the I living room, and that she then I went downtown to a hotel, not ! returning until afternoon when I she found the man unconscious. ! Edwards, a ccrl'ied public ac countant, is belived to have no I relatives. Flames Destroy Rosedale School The Rosedale rural school, abandoned since its consolida tion with the Salem district re cently, burned Sunday night in a fire that started mysteriously in a shed at the rear of the build ing. Loss was estimated at $10,000 including desks, books, a piano and maps that were to have been moved to a new building soon, according to Connell Ward, clerk. I The Liberty-Salem Heights fire company was called to the scene, but too late to halt the flames. The fire was prevented from spreading, however.

Stevenson lOrmtimud from Pagt 1 The row got so hot In the early hours of today that party leaders hastily changed the i program of the opening session to obtain a cooling-off period. They postpned until tonight or Tuesday a nhowdown on the basic bsue which threatens to split the party wide open. That issue is called civil rights. But the showdown was inevi table. Harriman and Kefau- ver strategists have formed a coalition in an attempt to ram through a combined "fair play" land loyalty pledge" resolution which would bar anti-adminis- tration Texas and Mississippi delegations from the convention 'or bind conservative southern ers jo lightly to the 1952 plat form and nominees that they dare not bolt. North-South Fight When that resolution comes, .this convention may match the ! historic bitterness of the Ku Klux Klan brawl of 1924 or the i party's free silver disaster of 11896. The political heirs of Franklin D. Roosevelt were ganging up on the south regard less of consequences. A mod erate element sought to calm the storm. Stevenson said "no" again Sunday, but Illinois National Committeeman Jacob M. Arvey and other boosters went right ahead with plans to place his name in nomination. They said they were "positive he would accept a convention draft. South Closes Ranks The south had closed ranks again behind Sen. Richard B.

Two Hospitals (Continued from Page It The present Salem General hospital building will remain in use for chronic, aged, emergency and psychiatric patients. Its nor mal capacity, often exceeded be cause of the demand, is 63 beds. So, with construction of the first unit of the new building Salem General will have a normal 123 bed capacity. Room for addition al beds in the old building will be made by removal of the sur gery to the new building. The new building, which will be the west wing unit, will be three stories high. It will have an overall length of 201 feet and a maximum width of 50.4 feet. The tower will contain the hospital elevators and utility equipment. It will be topped by a penthouse. Location of the new building will be in the same area as the present hospital on Center street, but north and east of it, with a tunnel connecting the two. which will carry heat con duits from the boiler room in the old building. The question whether the grants for the Salem hospitals would be approved by the state board of health went before the board from its advisory council which recommended in Salem's favor against the opposition of several Portland hospitals that sought the council's recommen dation. The new wing at Salem Mem orial hospital will be of three stories and will Join the south end of the present building. It will contain 42 medical-surgical i beds and increase the present capacity of 105 to 140. The maternity department of the hospital will be remodeled and part of it placed on the third j floor of the new wing. Space vacated in the present building i by removal of the maternity de- partment will be remodeled and: converted into surgical and re-l covery rooms. James L.
