Old-Tlmeri to Fore. Several old-tlmera may Una up at the Republican prlmarlea. While Governor Meier haan't announced be will or will not be a candidate for reelection, hie friends say It's even money he will throw his hat In the ring. His advisors believe the ex pected big field of Republican candi dates would put him over in the primaries. The names of Joe E. Dunne and conservative Wlllard Marks of Albany peraiatently crop up In the llat of dark horses." Utility commissioner Charles M.

"Dark horse" sug gestions are Henry CanDueer, Con gressman Martin and Mayor Joe Car ton of Portland. A feature of the coming race was the apparent lack of gubernatorial material turned out by the last legla- lature. ' Only two members were men tioned seriously aa having ambltlona for the governor'a chair Rep. Prank Lonergan and Senator Aahby Dick on. Lately, both seem to have made no headway.

Sportsmen talk with sorrow of the fine trout fishing streams that have been ruined for yeara to come, aa ashea falling Into that water form a lye-like mixture that has killed thousands of trout. Lumbermen, whose holdings have been awept by the flames, have esti mated that probably six billion feet of timber haa been destroyed or dam aged, with a loss of approximately ai8.000.000 In prospect. Conceding that 35 per cent salvage could be effected, the loss would still be huge. they say.
