Way back 45 years ago, the political war between Senator John H. Mitchell and Harvey H. Scott resulted in the state losing the great mind of Scott in the United States senate. Several years later factional fights resulted in the election of George H. Chamberlain, democrat, as governor by the small statewide margin of 256 votes over W. J. Furnish. A republican faction op posed to Furnish in the primaries, sulked in their tents and gave the political power to the democrats through Chamberlain who served as governor and United States senator for nearly a quarter of a cen- tury. Such instances have occurred in lesser degree in republican ranks since that time, and four years ago a row in democratic ranks resulted in the defeat of General Martin. Now we have two men high in republican ranks. By usual routine any governor who has served well is conceded the right to succeed himself, and Gov ernor Sprague is admitted to have brains and execu tive ability. Reports have it that he is not an astute politician, which is not much against a good servant with the usual voter. Earl Snell is likewise a good official and has served the state well for two terms as secretary of state but under the law cannot suc ceed himself. Together, united, they make a strong team for the party in the state, but divided they may cause its de feat. It was hoped that Snell would finally become the congressman from Eastern Oregon, but he seems to fear defeat from Pierce under present conditions. The friction between Governor Sprague and Snell is just too bad for the party they both represent. If Snell does not want to wait two years or even four ( he is both young and virile and would not lose pres tige), then the state republican committee should go to Salem and make an honorable peace. While pol itics have been for the time being largely eliminated because of the war, good clean leaders are well worth preserving and strengthening. Such leader ship will be needed for the years to come. UMATILLA NEWS By Mrs. Cann Ostrom 9 Mr. and Mrs. George Cooper at ■ tended a wedding in Pendleton.

McKenzie, Mayor. (Feb. 12-19-26, 1942) 1 It does not require an expert to catch salmon on the Columbia, it is pointed out by the Oregon State Highway commission. The Pacific salmon rarely feed, if ever, after entering fresh water on their way to the spawning grounds after three years at sea, but he will strike a spinner or wobbler. These are trolled from boats, and it’s largely luck which determines who hooks into the biggest fish. But while he does not eat in fresh water King Chinook is vicious and mean. Anything which he believes may thwart his determined trek to the gravel bar where he himself was spawned angers him thoroughly and he will fight it with all his fury. And once hooked he is far from beaten. With amazing strength and tenacity he will fight until he is half drowned before he can be brought to gaff. Salmon fishing is almost a year around sport in Oregon streams. Running in different streams at dif ferent times the silver horde is in the rivers from February until the winter freshets in December. Some where there is nearly always good salmon fishing to be found in one or more Oregon rivers. The Columbia river’s commercial salmon industry amounts to around $10,000,000 a year. From it comes the world’s finest canned and smoked salmon. By law, nets are removed from the river from August 25 to September 10 each year, and during this period the sports fisher men have their field day at the mouth of the river where great schools of the fish congregate.

Pedestrian E’amed % Both motorists and nédestr ars are to blame for the high pedes- trian death rate, the M ch ga Slate Safety committee states. Twenty- six pedestrian deaths accounted for a fourth of the state’s June traffic death toll. “When blinded by ap proaching lights, motorists must slow down," the committee's state ment said. "There is no excuse for maintaining speed when visibility is seriously reduced. Pedestrians share the blame when they fail to walk on the left side of the highway as re quired by law. Three-fourths of all pedestrian deaths occur between 5 p. m. and 1 a. m. By concentrating upon the factors known to contrib ute to such night fatalities, it should be possible to reduce the death toll."
