rc ITS MTOFOHD (OREOOrfl MAIL TRIBUNE Thursday, April 27. 19 SO D n H History of Naming Highway Group in 1922 Revealed (Thli U another in series of "ClimptM at Highway History" by Ralph Watson highway department writer. Editor'! note.) Oregon elected a new Rover nor in Navember, 1922: Walter M. Pierce, democrat, of Union county. "According to custom, the three members of the high way commission resigned and during March, and in May three new commissioners took over the pilotage of the highway program They were Judge William Duby Baker, chairman; Judge Wade H. Malone, Corvallis, and Henry B. van Duzer, Portland. The story behind this change la that Ward Irvine, then Uover- nor Pierce's secretary, was sent down to Portland to see former Governor Oswald West, also a democrat, to ask what West knew about the character and Qualifications of "Judge Duby. West thought that Irvine said "Judge Derby." As it happened, Andrew Jackson Uerby, county judge of Hood River county, was a warm personal friend, as well as a real "Jackson demo crat." and when West finished recounting all the good points of Judge Derby, that Hood Hiver . magistrate easily could have have been lined wun a man sized halo. Irvine expressed himself as very much pleased observing that the governor also would welcome the information, as the Judge had been highly recommended fo rappointment. Weat 'F'labbergasted" "When I read a day or so later of the appointment of Judge Duby, I was totally flab bergasted," West confides. "But It was all right anyway. Judge Duby was a good man even though at the time I did not know him at all." West also reminisces that at about the same time it came to him via the grapevine route from Salem that the governor was hesitating between the appoint ment of his oldtime buddy and democratic colleague in the state aenate, Milton A. Miller, then resident In Portland and who wanted the Job, and H. B. Van Duzer, Portland lumberman and prominent citizen who did not aeem at all anxious to be both ered with it. Story Oets Around Somehow West is somewhat naive about this phase of the story this circumstance got cir culated around over Portland in the newspaper shops and among civic leaders, resulting in an Immediate and conversing bar rage upon the governor's office urging Van Duzer a appointment on the one hand and upon Van Duzer to accept it, if offered, on the other. It came, Van Duzer . accepted, and served through the Pierce administration as commis sioner, and as chairman through the four years of Governor I. L. Patterson's administration and on into the Meier tenure, when he resigned. Commissioner Duby had served as county Judge of Baker, Commissioner Malone as county Judge of Benton county. State Highway Engineer Her bert Nunn also Joined his three commissioners in resigning to accept a position as city mana ger in the City of Santa Barbara, Cal., and Roy A. Klein, who had been assistant state highway engineer and secretary to the commission, succeeded him. Hearings Slated on Honey Containers Salem, Ore., Apr. 27 U.R) Hearings will be held at Med ford.
