Hill for Speaker
Heppncr Fireless
RoadJobsOut
By A. L. LIKDBECK
Salem. That Earl Hill, Lane
county republican, may preside over
the democratic house of represen
tatives at the special session is not
without the range of possibilities
in the opinion of some prognosticat-
ors who have been sounding out
sentiment for the speakership. Hill,
who had the gavel wielding job "in
the bag" last fall when the demo
crats came along and stole the bag
by upsetting all the political dope
and electing a majority of the
House members, was the republican
floor leader at the regular session
and gave valuable assistance to
Speaker Cooter in guiding the
House organization through the
troubled waters of that session.
Hill is popular with democratic
members of the House as well as
with his republican colleagues and
several democratic representatives
have indicated a readiness to sup
port the Lane county mas as a com
promise candidate in the event the
democratic aspirants for the honor
tie the organization up in a Kil
kenny cat light as now seems like
ly with at least four candidates in
the race.
The latest entry into the Speak
ership race is Henry Oleen of Co
lumbia county who has announced
his candidacy in letters to all of
the House members. Other demo
crats said to covet the honor in
clude Moore Hamilton, Medford
newspaperman, and W. L. Graham
and Howard Latourette, both of
Multnomah county. Should John
Cooter of Lincoln county receive
the appointment of his county court
for his old seat in the House it is
expected that he will also want the
gavel wielding job back again.
Cooter's seat, however, may go to
J. J. Tobin, a republican, according
to information percolating through
from Lincoln county. Cooter, who
lost his seat in the House when he
went to work for Uncle Sam in the
re-employment service, is under
stood to be ready to take a leave of
absence from his government job
for long enough to serve the state
in the special session if his re-appointment
can be arranged for.
Approximately $70,000 has been
spent to date in restoring equip
ment and supplies destroyed in the
capitol Are of last April. The res
toration fund still contains a bal
ance of $101,500 which is available
for purchase of additional equip
ment or to apply toward the capitol
construction fund.
Fire losses in Oregon during the
first six months of 1935 totalling $1,
123,055 were 62 percent greater than
losses for the same period last year,
according to Hugh H. Earle, state
fire marshal. Curry was the only
county in the state without an in
sured fire loss during the six
months period, the report shows.
Fire losses reported by other coun
ties were: Baker, $192,314; Benton,
$205,265; Clackamas, $481,893; Co
lumbia, $177,603; Coos, $809,992;
Crook, $8200; Gilliam, $6250; Grant,
$5700; Hood River, $27,736; Jackson,
$779,480; Josephine, $63,675; Lin
coln, $17,600; Linn, $84,116; Mar
lon, $403,140; Morrow, $4050; Polk,
$494,621; Umatilla, $92,540; Union,
$63,425; Wasco, $227,985; Washing
ton, $231,639; Sherman, $17,405;
Yamhill, $219,779.
Milton and Heppner are the only
cities in Oregon which experienced
nO fire losses during the first six
months of 1935, according to reports
filed with Hugh H. Earle, state fire
marshal. Losses reported by other
cities range from a low of $4 for
Prineville to $315,901 for Portland.
Losses reported by other cities in
clude: Baker, $731; Coquille, $226;
Corvallis, $52,118; Dallas, $1172;
Forest Grove, $487; Grants Pass,
$915; Hillsboro, $1352; Hood River,
$1433; Independence, $150; La
Grande, $3682; Lebanon, $175;
Marshfleld, 5830; Medford, $3116;
Newberg, $844; Sheridan, $31; The
Dalles, $37,088; Toledo, $18; Wood
burn, $28.
Sixty men now on relief rolls of
the several counties will be em
ployed as hunters if a new preda
tory animal control project now
under consideration is approved by
Solon T. White, director of the state
department of agriculture. Under
the new plan hunters will be as
signed to each county according to
the need with the counties supply
ing traps and receiving one-half the
proceeds from the sale of skins. The
remainder of the proceeds from skin
sales will be divided pro rata
among the hunters. Present full
time county hunters will be em
ployed to instruct the new men if
the project is approved by White
and the WPA.
An effort to preserve a portion
of the ruins of the old capital as
"Pillars of Yesterday" was frus
trated when a truck backed into
the segment which had already been
undercut, and knocked it down.
The job of clearing away the
ruins of the old capitol will be com
plete this week. Hundreds of
truck loads of broken brick and
mortar from the historic old build
ing are scattered about over Salem
as "fill" for vacant lots. Good brick
from the ruins have been Btored at
state institutions and will be used
in the construction of small build
ings on state property as the need
arises.
The first letting of highway con
tracts under the 1935 allotment of
federal funds will be made on Sep
tember 5 when bids will be received
on projects aggregating approxi
mately $1,500,000. Subsequent let
tings will be made at four week in
tervals. There is little prospect,
however, of the employment of any
considerable number of men on
road work In Oregon this winter,
according to R. H. Baldock, who
points out that the rainy season
will seriously hamper work west of
the Cascades where most of the
work will be concentrated. A few
hundred men will be employed at
clearing work on such projects as
the Wilson river road in Tillamook
county and the Wolf Creek cut-off
in Washington and Columbia coun
ties. Work on new buildings at four
state institutions is being delayed
by failure of the PWA to act on ap
plications for federal funds. Appli
cations for the federal grant have
been on file for two months. Word
from Washington this week had it
that the request for funds for im
provements at the tuberculosis hos
pital at Salem would have to be
modified before meeting PWA ap
proval. Other institutions at which
new buildings are planned are the
state hospital for insane, the tu
berculosis hospital at The Dalles
and the school for, blind.
At least eight county-wide Peo
ples Utility districts are in process
of organization to take advantage
of cheap power from Bonneville,
according to information reaching
the state engineer's office here.
Most of these districts are located
in the Willamette valley or along
the coast.
Sportsmen of the Rogue River
district, displeased with the ballot
title prepared by Attorney General
Van Winkle for the commercial
fishing bill are understood to be
contemplating an appeal to the su
preme court to have the title re
written. The bill, an initiative
measure, seeks to open the Rogue
to commercial fishing at certain
seasons.

Sanitation Controls Weevils
Oregon City. Sanitation is the
key note in controlling grain weevil
which infest many farm granaries,
says County Agent J. J. Inskeep. A
thorough clean-up before the newly
threshed grain is placed in the bins
is essential, he says. To do this
any grain from previous years Is
removed, and if there is any quan
tity of It it may be fumigated, using
one pound of carbon bisulfide to
1000 cubic feet of space. All refuse
grain is then swept up and removed
and the granary thoroughly cleaned.
A dash of scalding water will kill all
weevil which remain in the cracks
and crevices, and a small quantity
of napthalene flakes placed between
the partitions will drive out the
weevil hiding there, Inskeep sayg.
