Oregon's state park system lured a total of 1,715,397 visitors into the great outdoors during 1939, according to figures just realized by the state highway department.

Use of state parks by the public has almost trebled in the past two years, high way department records show.

Thompson of Portland is slated to succeed Hugh H. Earle as head of the insurance department on March 1. This appointment leaves Dan Fry, state purchasing agent as the lone surviving member of the old Martin regime. While rumors continue as to Fry’s pending replacement with a re publican appointee both Governor Sprague and Secretary of State Snell insist they have never discussed the matter. Governor Sprague let it be known this week that he has under con sideration a plan for dividing the work of the department, shifting more of the purchasing work to the shoulders of a subordinate so as to leave the secretary to the Board of Control free to devote all of his time to supervision of the state institutions. The excuse for such a plan is not clear to capitol observers unless it is de signed to pave the way for the ap pointment of some republican with little or no capacity for service as a purchasing agent. Certainly there 1s no need for a full time secretary to the Board of Control. Reports that Fry is planning to re sign to accept some more lucrative private poet are emphatically denied by the board secretary who insists that he has so far received no intima tion as to what the board intends to do about his job.
