Of West is
Confirmed
WASHINGTON, Jan. 21. UP) By
a vote of 5-4 to 27 the senate today
confirmed the nomination of Roy O.
West of Chicago to be secretary of
interior. The senate acted in execu
tive session and voted not to make
public the roll call.
Confirmation followed three days of
senate discussion in executive ses
sion. Opposition to the nominee was
voiced by republican independents
who complained particularly of Mr.
West's former holding of stock in the
Samuel Insult utility interests.
The attack on West was led by
Chairman Nye, of the lands committee
which recommended his confirmation
by a vote of 0 to 4 along with Senator
Norris of Nebraska.
Senators Deneen and Glenn, repub
licans, of Illinois, defended the cabi
net officer, joined by several democrats.

AS U. REGENTS
Three Eugeneans have been recom

of Oregon which has been created by
the resignation or Judge James w
Hamilton, of Iloaeburff.

G. Washburne and Dr. A. F. Sether
are known to be before the governor
though the governor probably will not
act till he Haa received turtner Bug'
aestionB. and he is particularly inter
estcdin -nominations from counties
south of here.
The southern end of the state at
the present time is represented on
the board of regents only by Vernon
H. Vawter, of Medford, nnd while
geographical representation is not re
garded aa essential it Is held to be
desirable otner tilings Deing equal.
Of the Eugeneans, Dr. Sether ia
considered perhaps the strongest pos
sibility for the appointment because
of the fact that for many yeara he
lived in Roseburg and still has very
strong connections in Douglas county
and beyond doubt would be considered
there as an entirely appropriate suc
cessor to Judge Hamilton.
Another suggestion from Douglas
county mentions Dr. B. R. Shoemaker,
of Roseburg, who has long been active
in school nffnirs there and who is a
brother of Carl Shoemaker, of Port
land, who haa been quite active in
state politics serving on various
boarda and coffliuissions.
The terms of Judge O, F. Strip
worth, of Eugene, and Herbert Gor
don, of Portland, are expiring this
April and there seeme to be little
doubt that Governor PatterBon will
ask each of them to take a reap
pointment. The other regents arc

MENACED
Truckloads of Milk Seized
And Dumped; Other Is
Polluted
CHICAGO. Jan. 21. Oft Cltr
health authorities today demanded a
grand jury investigation of the "dairy
men's strike" that menaces Chicago's
milk supply.
There were several reports of vio
lence by armed men; of the dumping
of thousands of pounds of milk; and
of mixing of kerosene with milk. Dr.
Arnold Kegel, Chicago health com
missioner, has asked the state's at
torney s office to institute grand Jury
action; leaders of the Btriking milk
farmers said they would welcome It.
Chicago's milk supply yesterday
was 400.000 Quarts under normal, yet
distributors said they had been able
to 8upplv all demands. A shortage
as great, or greater, was predicted
tor today.
Dr. Kegel asked Mayor Thompson
for a $15,000 emergency appropria
tion to be used in employing chemists.
Additional chemists are needed, the
commissioner said, to keep a 24 hour
staff available for the testing of milk
and for the protection of the city's
health.
Almost the entire supply of one
laree dealer was found nolluted by
kerosene. The pollution was blamed
by distributors upon the strikers who
are demanding $2.58 a hundredweight
instead ot the $l.00 distributors are
paying.
A department of justice agent was
expected today to begin an investiga
tion. United States Senator Oils P.
Glenn told officials of tbe pure milk
association in response to their plea
that he ask that department tti Inter
vene In' the dispute. Dr. Isaac (law
lings, director of the state department
of health, alo volunteered services
of his department.
Additional producers Joined the
strikers' ranks yesterday as violence
became more widespread. Deliveries
to receiving plants of the two largest
distributors, the Bowman and Borden
I h irv comnonles. have decreased
daily.
.John K. stancy, was set upon ny
seven men. armed with shotguns, near
Lake Forest yesterday. He was
pulled from his truck, beaten uncon
scious and his load of almost 1,000
pounds of milk was dumped Into a
ditch.
About 80.000 pounds of milk were
destroyed yesterday ; 2,500 pounds
dumped from two trucks at Linton
Grove, Wis.; 19,000 pounds poured
from two trucks between Cary and
Crystal Lake, 111.; and 1,000 pounds
spoiled with kerosene at Lake Zur
ich, 111. One hundred men seized 6,
500 pounds of milk from a t.'ain ftt
McIIenry, 111., and poured it on the
ground.
Ten automobile loads of men halted
two trucks belonging to the Model
Dairy company of Chicago at Fox
Itiver grove and dumped the milk.
Farmers living near Waukegan,
111., have resorted to house-to-house
peddling among residents of the dairy
belt.
One creamery at Waukegan effected
a compromise with the dairymen
agreeing to pay $2.65 a hundredweight.

Thomson, both studenta at the C Di

The two boys go up the river every
Sunday tu their traps, making the trip
up iu a machine, which one of tbe
party brinua back to Thomson's re

place by shooting the rapids in a row
boat after their duy'a trupping. This
return trip, according to Horn, is a
thriller which fan compete for excite

smooth ,and only an expert with the
boat can guide it throug hthe rushing
rapids.
One of the most exciting times that
the boys have experienced in the trap
ping tours, waa wheu they discovered
thut eight of their trups und their
canoe had been stolen. The thieves
had left their trucks in the snow,
however, and though the tracks w
at least three days old they were still
intact. The boys dcridpd to pluy the
role of the "Mountics" and get their

boat and Btarted off down the river,
searching both banks as they went
along.
When they bad traveled some dis

Besides late model automobiles, the
best amateur vaudeville talent In Eu
gene will be on display at the Eu
gene Automobile show, Friday and
Saturday, Jan. 2ft, 20. Lewrence Him
toons, of tbe E. C. Simmons Motor
company, nnd Ray O'Donnell, Packard
and DeSoto dealer, have charge of the
arrangements for the amateur night
and have announred that they have
secured the services of several Eugene
people to take part in the show.
Prizes, to be given by local mer
chants, will be awarded to the acts
which receive the most applause from
the audience, The program of acts has
been selcrled with nn eye to variety
and comedy and ability of the actors,
according to the committee in charge.
Everything from comedy monologues
to complete minical revues, with
pretty girls and flashing costumes will
be on the stage to delight tbe eyea of
(be upcctstora.
With so many beautiful automobiles
on dinplay the local dealer decided
that it would be necessary to have
someone on hand to explain and dem
onstrate the various features of in
terest fn each machine. And of course
lhene persons must be readily recog
nizable in order that no time would
be Inat when someone wanted to
know something about one of the
earn. It was decided, therefore, that
all salesmen and dealers would wear
derby hats, and white flowers in their
ronf lapela.
. Those who attend this anto show,
which is the only one In the state
thin year, will find these obliging gen
tlemen with the drby hats more
prominent than white shirts at a
funeral and they will be eager to tell
all they know about anything that
pertains tn automobiles.
In addition to all this, there Is to
be a style show that will display every
kind of woman's wearing apparel that
Is belnf i.Nd this season. It may dis
play other thing, too. but the primary
fm r pone of this pnrt of tbe program
n to entertain the ladies who don't
snow so mtiMi about thr mechanical
intricacies t,f sutomobiiVs.
With plenty of music going all the
time, it promises to be a large evening
of entertainment for the whole fam
