PAGE FIVE OFFICE USED BY EARLY GOVERNORS NOW RENTS AT $5 Newsman Occupies Historic Space Chief Executive Has Suite Of Ten Rooms In Oregon's New Capitol. By Robert Lnrtmtll (United Press Start Correspondent) 8ALEM (UP) A former Oregon governors' office today 1b being rent ed for 5 a month. The fusty old box-like office Is a far cry from the present guberna torial suite In the new (2.500.000 state capltol which Is streamlined down to the lavatory and private ele vator. Almost a century ago. however, the present 65-a-month office was one of thft most modern In Salem, definite ' the fact that It did not have a lav atory and that the main entrance was In an alley. At that time the state paid rent of $110 a month for use of the office and other space In the building which housed the supreme court and the state library Pays $3 a Month The office, situated on the second floor of the building which now houses the Statesman Publshlng company, on the southwest corner of Commercial and Perry streets, is being rented by Robert J. Hendricks, dean of Oregon newspapermen. He pays 45 a month rent to the Women Christian Temperance Union which owns that portion of the building. George L. Woods was the first gov ernor to occupy the office. He was elected in 1866 and when the build ing was completed two years later, his office was moved into it. And so for two years, almost dally. Gov ernor Woods entered the alley and walked up a flight of steps to tht headquarters of Oregon. L. P. Grover, who was elected gov ernor tn 1870. did likewise until his office was moved into the state cap ltol in 1876. Governor Grover col lected a portion of the rent while he occupied the office as he had part Ownership In the building. Modern Adjuncts The two governors who headquar tered in the office for eight years were allowed one other room In th building that one for their private secretaries. The gubernatorial suite In the new capltol has 10 rooms, eight closets, a woman's cloak room, a lavatory and a private elevator. Walls of the former gubernatorial office were decorated with paper: the present one is paneled in burls of Oregon myrtle. Oregon wood was present in the old office. It was Douglas fir on the floor. After Governor Grover, moved into the state capltol the office was rent ed to professional men and artists, later as a sleeping room. In Historic Setting Rain has seeped through the roof and spotted the flowery brownish -gray wall paper and cobwebs hig In front of the three dirty wlndwvs. But the dreary atmosphere does not seem to bother Mr. Hendricks who Its amid a cluster of books and newspapers and writes of Oregon his tory much of it made In the same room.

(Spl) With wheat loan rates announced almost tlmul taneoualy with wheat acreage allot ments for 1939, the AAA has laid the groundwork for the wheat pro gram for the coming year which It Is hoped will materially reduce the present surplus, says N. C. Donaldson, secretary of the state AAA commit- j tee. Farmers deslrlous of obtaining 1 wheat loans are advised to contact j their county committees, as clearance from the committee to show that the applicant Is a cooperator under I the 1938 program la the first essen I tlal in obtaining a loan. Any grower Is considered a cooperator whose soil I depleting acreage for 1938 does not ; exceed 10ft percent of the soil de pleting acreage allotment for his j farm. Oregon growers may store wheat on which loans are to be made either In commercial warehouses or in ap-; proved farm granaries. The county j committee has charge of Inspecting farm granaries to see that they are suitable. Wheat must be actually placed in a farm granary 30 dayt before a loan may be made on It 'A grower may find out how much be Is eligible to borrow by subtract ing the freight rate to Portland, plus four cents for handling charges, from the base rate of 67 cents for No. 1 wheat at Portland. No. a wheat takes a loan rate of two cents less and No. 3 wheat five cents less than tor j No. 1 wheat. The loans bear interest at four percent and become due May 31, 1339,' in the case of farm -a tore J wheat, and seven months from date of note In case of wheat stored In public warehouses. Tho new wheat acreago allotments which aim at a national acreage of only 55 million acres next year, allow Oregon 768.303 acres, as compared with a seeded acreage this year of 1.013.000. "The acreage allotments are espec ially Important to the success of the farm program In view of the loa.i features of the now farm act," sa;a H. R. Tolley, AAA administrator. "Loans can help temporarily but unless supplies are kept in line with needs, eventually farm prices would sink under the weight of huge sur pluses."
