PERCY R. KELLY
Gov Patterson Likely to
Name Him for Su
preme Bench
SALEM. Ore.. ScpL 12. (AP)
The appointment of Circuit
Judge Percv R. Kelly of Albany
a a member ot the supreme
court to fill the vacancy caused
by the death ot Chief Justice
George II. Burnett 1 predicted
in legal circles here. Governor
Patterson ha said that be will
not take up the matter ot an ap
pointment until after its funeral
of Chief Justice Burnett, which
i
1 is tomorrow.
Judge Kelly has for many
! year been one of the Judges for
I the Judicial district comprising
i Marlon and Linn counties and is
! considered one ot the ablest
'Judges tn the state.
I Should Judge Kelly receive the
appointment the governor would
have to fill the vacancy on the
circuit bench for thl district.
Should Kelly be appointed it Is
predicted, that the appointee to
the circuit bench would be either
Carlton K. Sox or Senator Wil
lurd Marks, both of whom live
at Albany. Sox, it is believed,
would be mare likely to get the
place. The appointee doubtless
would either be selected from
Albany or Salem. Since, Judge
Kelly lives at Albany and Judge
L. II. McMahan, the other Judge
for the district lives tn Salem,
it Is probable that the appoint
ment would go to Albany.
Roth Sox and Marks are re
publicans, while most ot the
other prominent lawyer ot Al
bany are said to be democrats
and the appointment of a riemo
crnt Is not expected from the
republican governor.

Other Scout Busy
What scouts in other localities
are doing is always of Interest
to the local boys.
During the last two weeks In
August, six Eagle scouts of Great
Falls, Montana, and 23 scouts of
the same rank from other west
ern cities devoted their time to
trail building activities In the
Rocky Mountains ot Glacier Na
tional Park. This work was first
sturted by this troop in 192S.
The work was done under the
direction of R. O. Matthew of
Everett, Washington, R. E
Crompton of Wenatchee, Wash
ington, and M. L. Crouch 'of
Great Falls. Montana. Each of
the three men are the scout
executives from their respective
cities. The construction ot tho
trails Is designed to open new
parts of the park to tourist
travel In 1928.
