Colleagues Get Praise. Will Lay Down Duties at End of Current Year. (From Sunday's Oregonian) W. B. Barratt, member of the state highway commission, tendered his resignation to Governor Olcott yes terday. The resignation will take effect December 31. This course was adopted by Commissioner Barratt, who ia the eastern Oregon member of the board, in order to give Governor-elect Pierce ample time for selecting a new man. In hia letter. Commissioner Bar ratt says that his only regret in leaving the department is that he will miss hia association with a few men who "in this day and age, when suspicion and slander are rife, can stand up before the world imbued with the supreme satisfaction that they have givn the best that was in them, unselfishly." Service Covers Two Year Mr. Barratt, who is a sheepman of Morrow county, was selected by Gov ernor Olcott to fill the unexpired term of E. E. Kiddle of Union county when the latter died. Mr. Barratt was appointed in December 1920, so that he has served two years. At the ex piration of Mr. Kiddle's term, Mr. Barratt was reappointed on the under standing, stipulated by himself, that he would continue only until the plans of this year were worked out. Owing to the scope of the work of the department and the innumemable details, it requires about two years for a new n-an on the commission to become sufficiently familiar with the programme to develop into a valu able member. Mr. Barratt has reached this point. Resignation Not Unexpected The resignation of Commissioner Barratt was not unexpected and is not primarily caused by the change in the governor's office. For several months Mr. Barratt has planned mov ing from Heppner to Portland and this would require a change, under the law, as he would lose hia resi dence in eastern Oregon. The same situation developed when W. L. Thompson, member of the first com mission, moved from Pendleton to Portland. The letter to Governor Olcott fol lows: Honorable Ben W. Olcott, Governor of the State of Oregon. Dear Sir: I hereby tender my re signation as highway commissioner of the state of Oregon, to take effect December 81, 1922. In tendering this resignation I re spectfully aubmit the following rea sons, towit: Permit me to call your attention to our agreement on my reappointment to this office at the ex piration of Mr. Kiddle's term wherein I expessly stated that lor personal reasons I would not consent to fill out the entire term of three years, but that I would agree to serve tem porarily or until the 1922 road pro gramme projected by the commission was consumated. That time has now arrived, or nearly so, and in order to give Governor-elect Pierce due time to consider the appointment or my suc cessor to fill this important position, I deem it to be but fair to him to submit my resignation to you at this time, to take effect as stated above. I am surrendering my commission with the positive knowledge that the power vested in the highway commis sion by you and the members of the legislature during my incumbency has never been abused and my only regret in severing my connections with the department is that in doing so I thai I be deprived of the associa tions of a few men, yourself included, who In this day and age. when sus picion and slander are rife, can stand un before the world imbued wun tne supreme satisfaction that they have given the best that was in them, un selfishly, for the upbuilding of the state of Oregon and the advance ment of the interests of the citizens within its boundaries. Thanking you most heartily for the honor conferred by this appointment and for confidence reposed in me, I am, sir, yours respectfully, W. B. BARRATT. November 25, 1922. Highway Engineers Praised. "I hope," said Mr. Barratt, as he left for Heppner last night, that the personnel of the highway depart ment Is not disturbed. The cows of engineers are as hard-warking and conscientious and honest a group of men as can be found anywhere. Hours have meant nothing, for they have worked nights and Sundays without complaint, and there never has been the slightest hint of graft connected with the department. It is a splendid organisation and the highways of Oregon will serve as a monument to their faithfulness to duty. "As for my colleagues, Commis sioners Booth and Yoon, I consider them two of the biggest and most public-spirited men in the state and it has been a privilege to associate with them.1' Others Expected to Resign. What action Chairman Booth and Commissioner Yoon will take has not been announced by these road builders, but It is known that they do not expect to serve much longer. The law provides for throe com missioners, one from eastern Ore gon, one from western Oregon, Re presentatives from several coast coun ties have, passed resolutions asking that a coast county be represented on the commission. Mr. Booth, whose home ia in Eugene, is the western Oregon commissioner, and Lane coun ty is a coaBt county, although this fact is sometimes forgotten. Mr. Pierce's answer to the resolution wbs In effect, that he wants the best com missioners he can get. Mr. Tollman Possibility. Back of the resolution from the coast county meeting was, it Is re ported, a plan to propose Charles Hall of Marshfield for the place. William Pollman .Is considered as rtln to be the eastern Oregon commissioner If ho wants the ap pointment. tv, r. wns some tulk a few days ago that A. C, Marsters of Roseburg might be backed oy a pennon. the Portland district, now repre sented by Commissioner Yoon, no name has been advanced, but there are several democrata who would gladly take tho appointment. Sunday Oregonian. Miss Brlstow, nurse in the office of Dr. C. C. Chick, has returned to nor duties hore after about two months spent in Portland, during which time she took apodal work in nursing. Republicans Held Own In Twelve States; Lost One in Fifteen States Analysis of Election Rrsulte Prove Satisfactory for "Off Year" In Politics. Washington, Nov. 28. According to complete returns from all Con gressional Districts the Republicans will have 225 members in the next House. The Democrats and others who may be counted upon to organise against the Republicans will have 210. This will give the Republicans a clear majority of 15. The Republican party suffered a loss of 77 members of the House of Representatives in the recent elec tions. A majority of these losses were districts which under normal con ditions are Democratic and which were swept into the Republican column by the landslide of 1920. It is of more than passing signifi cance that of the states outside the Solid South" 27 either retained their present Republican delegation in the House or lost only on Repub lican. The 12 states which retained their present Republican delegationa are California, Colorado, Idaho, Iowa, Kentucky, Maine, North Dakota, South Dakota. Utah, Vermont, Wash ington and Wyoming. In 15 states the present Republican delegation in Congress was decreased by only one. These statea are Con necticut, Delaware, Kansas, Mary hind, Massachusetts, Michigan, Min nesota, Montana, Nevada, New Hamp shire, New Mexico, Oregon, Rhode Island, Virginia and Wisconsin. While some of these states are small and had only one or two members in Con gress, which makes the Republican loss in those states relatively 100 per cent, on the other hand Kansas, Minnesota, Michigan and Wisconsin have solid Republican delegations in the present Congress and the loss of only one Republican in each of these states is a very commendable show ing. Massachusetts, another strong Republican state, has on its delega tion at present only two Democrats and this number was increased by only one. Just m several normally Democra tic districts were swept into the Re publican column in 1920 by the Presi dential landslide, so in this campaign several normal Republican distnsts were swept into the Democratic co lumn by the operation of local issues and factional troubles. It is not to be expected that these local conditions will continue for two years to operate to the detriment of the Republican party in those districts. X1S SEALS SUE Governor Ben W. Olcott has given hia unqualified endorsement of the annual sale of Christmas Seals through the following letter to Mrs. Sadie Orr-Dunbar, Executive Secre tary of the Oregon Tuberculosis As sociation: "It gives me great pleasure to add my endorsement to the Christmas Seal Sale this coming month. It is my earnest hope that the citixens throughout the state will give their hearty and spontaneous assistance to this movement. I know it has done a vast amount of good in the past and I believe the campaign against tuber culosis should be unremittingly wa ged until that terrible plague ia wip ed out. Assuring you of my best wish es in your efforts." The Seal Sale opened Saturday, when 10,000 letters each containing from $1.00 to (100.00 worth of Seals were mailed out to Portland people. The Sale throughout the state will open December 1st and close Christ mas Eve. The sale of Seals at a penny apiece constitutes the only source of income which the Association has. The budget for 1923 is $40,000, hence a generous and genral purchase of seals is imperative. Ninety-five per cent of the proceeds from the sale of Seals is kept tight here in Oregon to extend the educa tional and preventive work and to build up a general health program, much of which centers about the children of the state. Only five per cent of the proceeds go to the Na tional Association. In Oregon the Christmas Seals pay for: Special School Nursing County Public Health Nursing: 1. School Inspection 2. Prenatal Nursing 3. Child Welfare 4. Industrial Nursing 5. Tuberculosis Nursing.

Governor Abolishes Of fice of State Water Supt. Governor Olcott, by an executive order abolished the office of state wa ter superintendent as a seperate state office and merged its duties with those of the state engineer. The order is effective January 1. The office Is held by George T. Co chran of La Grande, who receives a salary of $2400 a year from the state. No additional salary will be paid State Engineer Percy A. Cupper for taking over the new duties. The governor's action is in con formance with an act of the legisla ture a few years ago which gave the governor the privilege of merging the two offices whenever the adjudi cation of state water rights reached the point that such action might seem warranted. In his letter to Mr. Coch ran apprising him of the move, the governor says that it is his opinion that such adjudication affecting the large streams of the state has been made. The legislature which gave this power to the governor in the same act abolished the office of water sup erintendent for district No. 1, then held by J. T. Chinook of Grants Pas, snd left but one superintendent for this office being taken over by Mr. Cochran who was superintendent for what was known as district No. 2 FEDERATED CHURCH Sunday School 9:45 a. m.
