The man was "an old line ' democrat, a warm supporter of former Warden Johnson and presum ably a supporter of Pierce in the last campaign. He is also credited with being a member of the klan. He eulogized Johnson as a martyr berated Pierce as a traitor and when asked who was behind the recall movement replied without hesita tion, "Why, the Ku Klux Klan, of course. The klan elected Pierce and then when he got into office he de trayed them by hot giving them the appointments they wanted." So that's that.

Too Many Varieties Market Agent Spenco says too been used as a last 15 years, but so far it never has had one cent of post road or forest road funds used on it. We have had the matter up several times with the post road officials and they always tell us the first thing to do is get it put on the state road map as part of the state system, and then niany potatoes are grown in Oregon they could take action. It is al- that are of poor commercial value, ready on the forest road map.

Clifton Nesmith McArthur- one of Oregon's best known and most re spected citizens, died suc.uenly at his home in Portland last Sunday even ing, following an operation per formed on the previous Tuesday for relief of nasal trouble. The opera tion in itself was not considered a serious one and Mr. McArthur was able to bsave the hospital and re turn to his home Thursday morning. He experienced great relief from tho operation and expected to be able to return to his office Monday, but early Saturday morning Infection set in which developed meningitis, ' from which he succumbed within a few hours. Mr. McArthur was only 44 years old but he had already achieved a notable political career. At the age of 30 he was elected a member of the house of representatives of the Oregon legislature and later served two terms as speaker of that body. In 1915 he was elected to congress, where heserved four terms with credit to himself and a high degree of service to his constituents. In congress he was recognized' as a par liamentarian of high order and was often called upon to act us speaker pro tern. Mr. McArthur was known through out Oregon as a man of more than ordinary courage and when any question arose that might seriously affect his political career he never failed to stand squarely for what he believed to be right, without regard to political considerations. Mr. McArthur had recently an nounced his candidacy for the Unit ed States senatorship and as was al ways his custom, in making his an nouncement he left no doubt in the minds of the public what his attl. tude was on current political ques tions. Oregon can ill afford to lose a man of Mr. McArthur's calibre. 1!
