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.
