Campaign Is Blossoming Verily the gubernatorial campaign is blossoming out and there are whis perings of more announcements in a short time and combinations are darkly hinted, but what the combin ations are or may he no one Intimates. Governor Olcott will be a candi date. He has been in no haste to make formal announcement, but it Is understood that he has been prepar ing his platform and will be ready to make a public statement at an early date. Having seen his boom hanging fire for several months, Mayor Gates de clared yesterday that he is going to settle the matter'oue way or another before he leaves for home. There lb to he a big sportsmen's gathering in Medford Tuesday, and if "Pop' Gates is to be a candidate he wants to gel whatever benefit may accrue from the meeting, for it will give the sportsmen a chance to gei behind a favorite son. Mr. I Jean on Trip Of course if the mayor concludes to let the golden opportunity slip by. he will be Just an interested specta. tor at the gathering. Speaker Bean, by the way, will net be far off when the Medford meeting is held. In fact Mr..Uean is heading now for Grants Pas, Ashland and Medford and has speaking dates at those cities. Mr. Jones discussed his possible candidacy freely while in Portland but did not put himself in or out of the race. He, like Mr. Gates, is still In the suspense column, and may do one thing or the other Since Senator Patterson issued his statement through the press that he Is the custodian of his own politlcijJ- auairs ena win make his own an nouncement whether or not he ruDS, nrtning has been board from him. The senator was reported as debat ing the problem pro and con. Colonel Kelly is expected homo from Wash ington this week. Krionds said a couple of weeks ago that he would announce bis candidacy on his re turn, but there have been and are so many angles In the present campaign that the colonel will look things over before saying anything. Debate Offer Declined Since issuing a platform S. A. Lowell of Pendleton, has done noth ing. While in Pendleton Speaker Hean called on Judge 'Lowell and of- .' Respectfully submitted, -.' 1 JOHN W.

Oregon, this 25th day of February, 1922, were committed. And for the fur ther reason that a number of these cases have not been brought to trial and any comments by this jury might have its effect on public opinion which would be nnjpst. In this investigation, tho grand jury has endeavored to know no man, ' give every man bis due, whitewash-j ing no one. Wo concur in the bollef of tho county court that Prosecuting Attor-I ney Moore should have good out side help in ' prosecuting the bank cases and the liquor cases. The grand jury also believes that the county court did the right thing when they took vigorous and contin uous action to suppress the vice and liquor ring. The screens recommended for the jail have not been installed. This may appear of minor Importance If it Is not known that the jailor's life is constantly endangered under the present conditions which permit dan gerous weapons to be thrown Into the jail from both sides of it. Tbo ex pense involved is from one hundred to two hundred dollars, the saving of which endangers the jailor's life and aids jail breaking. The personal property taxes of 1920 have come in much better than heretofore, ten per cent more hav ing been paid before becoming; delin quent than UK'ial. This is due to the new system inaugurated by Assessor Coleman, The old long delinquent unsecured personal lax Is coming in slowly, a very considerable sum having been collected. There will bn considerable Ions here, through neglect for so many years. A number of tile great est offenders aro not paying yot wait ing, presumably, for a court decision as to their liability. This Jury bas Investigated com plaints against the sheriff's conduct of bis office In the apprehension of crime.

But Oregon, now building more highway pavement than any other state of equal population, is learning. Neighboring states and the nation point the way to paving value and satisfaction by a constantly increasing use of CONCRETE. Pacific Coast records for 1921 show 65 per cent CONCRETE; 35 Jier cent for all other types, divided as ollows: Road program of California, 75 per cent CONCRETE; of Oregon, 25 per cent CONCRETE; Washington, 100 per cent CONCRETE. Cities of California used 48 percent CONCRETE; of Oregon, 51 per cent, and Washington 79 per cent CONCRETE, as against tall other types of pavement combined.
