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.
Incldently, last May Mr. Hendricks

'39 AAA PROGRAM
CORVALLIS. (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." DUNN GIVEN CONTRACT
