Salem. While so far Congress
man James W. Mott appears to have
a clear field in the greatly contract
ed first district neither republican
nor democrat having arisen to con
test his right to a return engage
mentthere is no lack of competi
tion for congressional honors in the
other three Oregon districts.
Over east of the mountains in the
big second district Lowell Stockman
of Pendleton and Marvin Klemme of
Burns are contesting for the repub
lican nomination ad the right to op
pose incumbent Walter M. Pierce, a
democrat, for his seat next Novem
ber. In the third district Multnomah
county it looks like a three-way
fight for the democratic nomina
tion. E. J. Griffith, former WPA
administrator, and Thomas Mahon
ey, state senator, are already in the
race and from Washington comes
word that Willis Mahoney will pro
bably file before the end of the
month. The winner will fight it out
with Homer D. Angell, republican
incumbent, next falL
And in the newly created fourth
district which will elect its first
representative this year three re
publicans have already tossed their
hats in the ring with the possibility
that more are to come. George A.
Simon, Eugene chiropractor, was
the first to file his formal declara
tion, to be followed almost imme
diately by Ed Boehnke, Eugene
printer, and then later in the week
Harris Ellsworth, Roseburg news
paperman sprung a surprise by an
nouncing his own candidacy after
Guy Cordon, Roseburg attorney, had
eliminated himself.
School books may also be hit by
war conditions. Becaue of the un

You're in for the surprise of your life when
you see and drive the John Deere Model "H"
the sensational new small tractor that handles
two-row equipment and completely replaces
animal power on small and large farms every
where, cutting costs 'way below their former
level, and making farming more profitable.
And when you learn the price, you'll wonder
how John Deere can give you so much in a tractor
that sells for so little.
In addition, the Model "H" not only burns low
cost fuel but it uses only 13 to 12 as much fuel
on the many jobs within its power range, as would
larger tractors handling the same load.
Come in, see it, and get "the surprise of your
life."

lic instruction, is urging school of
ficials to order early this spring to
meet their needs for the next school
year. "There is no scarcity of books
at the present time and an ample
supply is assured during the next
three or four months," Putnam de
clared, "but no one can be certain
about what will be available six
months or a year from now."
Because of a threatened shortage
in fuel supplies next winter Gover
nor Sprague is urging Oregon mill
operators to take steps to conserve
saw dust, slab wood and shavings.
"Oregon citizens may have to go
back to the good old days and pile
slabwood on their parkings," the
governor said.
Leo Spitzbart, manager of the Or
egon state fair, has been assigned
by Governor Sprague to the task of
compiling a list of Oregon events
that may require military approval
under the new war time restrictions.
These will include all fetes, festivals,
round-ups, regattas and similar cel
ebrations that might attract crowds
of more than 5000 persons.
In order to accommodate law stu
dents who plan to enter military
service the annual state bar exam
inations will be held three weeks
earlier than usual this year. Dates
announced for this test to be held
at the capital will be June 22 and
23.
Theodore (Ted) Conn, Lakeview
attorney, has been appointed to the
state game commission filling the
vacancy caused by the death of
Francis Olds of Klamath Falls.
Protection of Oregon's forests
from fire is one of the biggest prob
lems confronting the state in the
war emergency, Governor Sprague
told members of the "Keep Oregon
Green" committee meeting here this
week. Always a big problem under
normal conditions the danger of
fires in the timbered areas has been
greatly increased by the war with
its saboteurs, fifth-columnists and
other subversive groups abroad in
the land.
The governor praised the com
mittee for its educational work
during the past year to which he
gave credit for the substantial re
duction in man-made fires during

the 1941 fire season.
N. S. Rogers, state forester, told
the committee that volunteer groups
were being organized in every sec
tion of the state for service in com
batting forest fires. These groups
are made up of loggers, mill work
ers, sportsmen, recreational organi
zations and others interested in pro
tecting the forests from fire.
Oregon motorists who now speed
along at 60 miles an hour or more
may have to content themselves
with a little less haste for the dur
ation of the war in the interest of
rubber conservation. Governor Spra
gue, anxious to cooperate in this
phase of the war effort has referred
to the state highway commission
President Roosevelt's request for the
establishment of a 40-mile maximum
ypeed limit in all states. It is be
lieved that the commission has the
authority to establish the reduced
speed limit under an act of the last
legislature authorizing it to estab
lish speed zones with posted maxi
mum speeds either above or below
the 60-mile maximum provided by
statute.
The state board of control has de
cided to accept for use as a national
guard armory a building in the city
of Baker formerly used as a nata
torium. Remodeling of the building,
however, will be postponed until af
ter the war. Immediate expendi
tures on the building will be con
fined to partial repairs to make the
structure temporarily usable.
Sportsmen can rest assured that
the state will do nothing to cramp
their hunting and fshing style this
year unless later developments as a
result of the war emergency justify
more radical restrictions. N. S. Rog
ers, state forester, has announced
that he has no present intention of
recommending the closure of forest
ed areas in the state.
The board of control has definite
ly decided to postpone construction
of the new $325,000 treatment hos
pital at the state hospital for the
insane until after the war. The board
was largely influenced in this de
cision by the refusal of the war
production board to grant priorities
on certain materials needed for the
project which was authorized by the
last legislature.
Secretary of State Earl Snell re
ports that a total of 2059 state em
ployees have authorized monthly
payroll allotments aggregating $15,
189 for the purchase of national de
fense bonds.
