ment in favor of such enforcement
Sauter offered assistance with con
struction and placing of the screens
and ladders, lending his knowledge
as how the individual problems may
be solved without undue expense.
Wehmeyer offered a number of
questions for discussion, and offered
tiie assistance of his office so far as
possible in carrying out game con
servation work. Acting on his sug
gestion for check dams in the upper
creek to provide more resting places
for trout, it was expected groups of
club members would construct dams
themselves.
The forester's suggestion that im
portation of beaver will assist the
conservation work resulted in the
club's supporting a request already
made by him for seventy more bea
ver and a $300 appropriation to assist
in their planting.
Another suggestion of his that the
club affiliate with the National Wild
Life federation caused the decision
to investigate the possibilities of
such affiliation.
The creation of a trout brooding
stream out of the left fork of Willow
creek, a project started last year,
gained enthsiastic support for its
immediate continance. The project
calls for acceptance of proffered
help from the state game commission
in closing this creek, screening it
off and stocking it with 25,000 fin-
gerling trout the increase from which
will be turned into the main creek
at proper intervals to augment the
stream's fish population.
Another club resolution favored
the use of funds from game license
revenues to compensate land holders
for depredations of game animals.
In line with the latter resolution,
the retiring president, Mark Merrill,
voiced appreciation of the coopera
tive spirit of livestock men for pro
viding winter feeding for deer and
elk, and expressed regret that Frank
B. Wire, head of the state game
commission, had recently been quot
ed as making unkind remarks about
the livestock men and forest service.

SALEM Possibility that Oregon's
gubernatorial contest may develop
into a three-way fight in the general
election campaign is now receiving
consideration in political circles
Should Governor Martin win the
democratic nomination and Charles
A. Sprague be selected by the Re
publicans it is regarded as almost
certain that an independent candi
date of more liberal leanings than
either of these will enter the race
with a bid for the left-wing support
of both parties. Should this situa
tion develop, as is entirely within
the range of probabilities, it is ex
pected that Peter Zimmerman of
Yamhill county who came within
21,000 votes of victory four years
ago, will again make the try.
Oregon's school population con
tinues to show a steady increase,
' according to figures compiled by
Rex Putnam, state superintendent
of public instruction. In the four
year period from 1133-34 to 1937-38,
the number of youngsters on the
school census roll increased from
258,880 to 270,530, a gain of 11,650.
Malheur county experienced the
greatest increase in school popula
tion, from 3590 to 5533, a gain of
54.12 percent. Klamath county re
ported the next highest gain, 27.36
percent. Other counties recording
large gains include Hood River 16.42,
Harney 14.10, Marion i3, Linn 12.41,
Lane 12.19, Polk 11.84, Deschutes
11.72, Benton 11.19, Coos 9.32, Wash
ington 8.99, and Curry 8.94.
California's border inspection and
ban on Oregon strawberries was
imposed in retaliation for Oregon's
tomato and bulb quarantine, accord
ing to Solon T White, state director
of agriculture.

The simple question of a little child
has stabbed spiritually awake many
a man who, though calling himself
a Christian, was little more than a
"pleasing pagan." Children speak
naturally about GOD. We grown
ups can do so, too, without violating
proper resereve. It is easy enough
to sing "What a Friend We Have in
Jesus" but what sort of a friend
has He in us?"
,"I have lived for myself,
I have thought for myself,
' For myself and none beside;
Just as if Jesus had never lived,
And as if He had never died."
The subject for the morning ser-
ice will be "After Easter, What?"

report of the state board of health.
Governor Martin has requested
all citizens of Oregon to join in the
observance of child health day,
May 1.
State hospital officials express
themselves as highly gratified over
the results of experiments conducted
in the use of insulin and metrazol
in the treatment of mental cases.
These experiments conducted over
a period of six months are said to
have shown definite possibilities of
permanent cures of dementia prae
cox, the most prevalent form of in
sanity. Of the 2600 patients in the
Salem institution 60 percent have
been regarded as incurable until the
introduction of this new treatment.
Landscaping of the grounds about
the new capitol is now under way.
With construction work on the
building practically completed scaf
folding is being torn down and the
job of cleaning up the premises
started with a view to turning the
building over to the state some time
in June.
The oldest enlisted man in the
Oregon National Guard is Clarence
C. Smith, 61, of Portland, -records at
Guard headquarters here revealed.
Of the 2239 enlisted men in the Ore
gon Guard 65 percent are under 23
years of age.
Construction of a new heating
plant to serve the capitol group of
buildings will now probably be de
ferred until after the next legislative
session. Attorney General Van Win
kle threw a legal monkey wrench
into the plan for immediate con
struction of such a plant this week
when he ruled that surplus funds in
the hands of the Capitol Reconstruc
tion commission can only be ex
pended on the capitol site or the
four new blocks to the north. Pre
viously the attorney general had in
dicated that the commission might
finance construction of the plant if
Gazette Times, Heppner,
the Board of Control provided the.
necessary site.
When the Capitol commission con
tracted for construction of the new
library building it also let a con
tract for revamping of the present
heating plant. This proposed V re
vamping includes installation of an
additional boiler, moving of the
smoke stack 150 feet to the east and
camouflaging of the plant under a
screen of flowers and shrubbery.
The enlarged plant, it is claimed,
will meet the needs of the state for
the next ten years at least. Some
members of the commission are
known to be in favor of going thru
with this program. A majority of the
commission, however, appears to fa
vor delay of any action on the heat
ing plant until the legislature can be
induced to authorize construction
of a new plant on a site removed
from the capitol building.
Oregon's lawmakers batted well
above the national average in point
of production at the last regular
session, according to figures com
piled by the American Legislators
association. While the national av
erage of bills passed during the ses
sion was only 440, Oregon's legisla
tive mill turned out a total of 502
bills. Only 11 states had a higher
production record and these were all
populous states, including Califor
nia, Connecticutt, Georgia, Mary
land, Massachusetts, New York,
North Carolina, Pennsylvania, South
Carolina, Tennessee and Texas. Ne
braska's unicameral legislature in
troduced a total of 912 measures but
passed only 212 during the session,
or less than 50 percent as many as
did Oregon's legislature.
The first public school adminis
trator's credential to be issued by
the Oregon state board of education
under a recently adopted regula
tion, went to Dr. J. E. Cramer, su
perintendent of schools at Eugene.
Certificate number 2 went to James
M. Burgess, head of the Milton-Free-
water school, and the third certifi
cate went to Austin Landreth of
Pendleton. A total of 68 school ad
ministrators have already applied
for the new certificates.
Oregon will lose approximately
$3,000,000 in federal aid funds if
Congress cuts the highway appro
priation in two as recommended by
the House committee. The state
highway commission, meeting here
this week, sent telegrams to all
members of the Oregon delegation in
Congress urging that they oppose the
theatened curtailment of funds.
More than $2,000,000 was paid out
to jobless workers in Oregon dur

Oregon is making a strong bid for
