The 1935 contracts reallv call for

stead of 75 per cent.
Furthermore, because of excessive

limits and collect the benefit pay
ments at the rate of $15 per head
for the number represented by the
10 per cent reduction.
Other liberal features this year
include permission to purchase and

removal of limit on total crop acre

SUMMARY OF SHIPMENT MADE
BY E. 0. T. G. RELEASED
E. B. CASTEEL
CAPABLE CLERK
SAYS “TIMES”
CASTEEL MAY THROW HAT IN
STATE POLITICAL POT.
Early Prediction Says Ear! Snell
May Try For Office of
Governor.
(From the Freewater Times)
With the recently elected new ad
ministrative officials just now fa
miliarizing themselves with their
duties, it appears a long time until
the electoral of Oregon need worry
relative to their successors, but four
years pass quickly and while the
democratic party was successful in
electing General Martin to the gov
ernorship, it is doubtful whether Mr.
Martin, on account of his age, will
care to continue longer than one
term in office and of course the peo
ple of this state will have something
to say relative to this, If he does
aspire to re-election.
Many feel that had Earl Snell
sought the governorship, instead of
secretary of state, he would now be
our governor. It has been conclusi
vely shown that he is extremely pop
ular with the people, and we are
confident he will so efficiently con
duct this office, he will continue to
merit the confidence of the citizens
of Oregon so well, they will insist
he become a candidate for governor
in 1938.
If this prediction comes to pass,
the republican party will need a
strong candidate to succeed Mr.
Snell and while we do not pose as
prognosticators of political events,
we did predict early in 1932 that
Earl Snell would be a candidate for
secretary of state, and ‘that he
would be elected.
We are now thinking of a worthy
successor to Mr. Snell, In the event
he becomes a candidate for governor
In 1938. and have in mind a man in
Umatilla county, who has been a
resident for many years—a man
who has shown fine capabilities In
administering the office to which
he was appointed by the county
court and elected in 193 2 by one of
the largest majorities polled lb the
county, Elbert B. Casteel, ceinty
clerk, of Pendleton.
The above opinion, we believe Is
shared by the majority of people In
this county, and this announcement,
no doubt will come to Mr. Casteel
as a complete surprise to him at this
early date, but we are well enough
acquainted with him. to know that
he has the capacity and capabilities
to serve Oregon as secretary of state
with satisfaction and credit to not
only himself, but the state as •
whole.
Mr. Casteel is considered one of
the most capable county clerks in
the state. Shortly following his
election, he was chosen vice presi
dent of the Oregon Clerks and Rec
orders’ association, and in the con
vention held in December, 1934,
was unanimously elected president
of this organization.
He is a man of high integrity,
sterling habits, fine personality and
widely known throughout the state
