Bank of Vernonia Harry L. Corbett Republican Candidate For Governor t A conservative and business administration is needed we confess, but injected in that same administration should be some push, pep, and yes, even chance, for what progress has Oregon made in the past 10 years, in compar ison with some of the states along its borders? Governor Norblad should be given the opportunity to serve a full term. It would be Oregon’s gain. IN THE DAY’S NEWS It seems impossible to keep game hunters out of politics. It is not so much the fault of the sportsmen as it is the politicians who use them. A fine evidence in point is the present effort to discredit Game Warden Clifford as a means of striking at Governor Norblad though Clifford is in no sense an appointee of the latter. Rufus Holman is head of the Multnomah county sportsmen’s organization. He also happens to be chairman of the Joseph-for-Gover- ner club. The former organization is demanding the scalp of the game warden and is sending out emissaries over the state to arouse sentiment against him. If he should be forced to resign, it is said that two members of the commission will resign, making it necessary for the gov ernor to appoint two new members on the eve of the pri maries. There would be candidates for the jobs from var ious sections of the sthte and inevitably there would be an aftermath of disappointment and political reprisal. It is an indication of the strength of Norblad that the Cor bett and Joseph forces are directing efforts to weaken his support.—Astoria Budget.

Cook, Field Mgr. 608 Corbett Bldg., Portland, Ore. I A.D., told the story of the Time Candle in simple, effective style, From a literal translation we learn that, “Sometimes they would not continue burning a whole day and night, till the' same hour that they were light-' ed the preceding evening, from the violence of the wind, which blew night and day without in-1 termission through the doors and windows of the churches, the fis-l sures of the divisions, the plank ings or the wall, or the thin 11 canvas of the tents, they then burned out and finished their course before the appointed time; the king considered there-' fore by what means he might shut out the wind, and so by a cunning and useful invention, he ordered a lantern to be beauti fully constructed of wood and white ox horn, which, when skillfully planed till it is thin is no less transparent than a vessel of glass. This lantern,! I therefore, was wonderfully made I of wood and horn, as we said be-11 fore, and by night a candle was I put into it, which shone as I brightly without as within, and ' was not extinguished by the1 wind; for the opening of the lantern was also closed up, ac- cording to the king’s command, by a door made of horn.” It was the re-discovery of this early Latin manuscript that caused the Hamilton Watch com-! pany to order made replicas of | King Alfred’s Time Candle for their already extensive horolog- ical collection. One of these replicas has been' loaned to A. L. Kullander and is now being shown in his win- dow.
