John Quig T ALBERTA VALLEY | were Mr. Monday evening visitors at the Esther Huffman of Caldwell, Fred ley, Mr and Mrs. Jim Moss and STATE CA PITO L NEWS A. L. LINDBECK State Capitol News Bureau NEW UNIFORMS SALEM — Within the next few weeks all units of the Oregon Na tional guard will be supplied with the new style long trousers and canvas leggings to replace the breeches and wrapped leggings which have been the regulation issue for enlisted men of the army heretofore. Major General George A. White announced this week that orders have been placed with the war department for enough of the new style trousers to supply the 1500 men of the 186th infantry and the 218th field artillery who have not yet received them. LIVESTOCK THEFT ARRESTS Twenty-two arrests were brought about through efforts of the live stock theft investigation division of the state department of agriculture during the first half of 1939. Nine teen of the arrests resulted In con victions, one defendant was acquitted and three cases are still pending. Penitentiary terms aggregating 17 years were meted out to six of the defendants but five of them were paroled from the bench and only one of the number actually went to prison. FAIR TRADE IS NO ROBBERY A private elevator may be a great convenience but it does not afford much relief from the heat as Gov ernor Sprague has discovertd during the past week. When the capitol architects designed the new build ing they made provision for shower baths in the offices occupied by the secretary of state and state treas urer but not in the executive suite, thinking, no doubt that he should be content with a private elevator. Offers by the governor to trade his elevator for a shower bath have failed to interest his board of con trol colleagues although both have graciously consented to allow the governor to indulge in a cooling shower during the hot weather in exchange for an occasional ride on his elevator. A PLAQUE FOR MARTIN A bronze plaque honoring former governor Charles H. Martin is soon to be placed in the new capitol. The plaque, the work of George B.

Maaske, just elected to the presidency of the Eastern Oregon College of Education at LaGrande, was formerly assistant state sup erintendent of public instruction under C. A. Howard whom he suc ceeds at the LaGrande institution. A graduate of the Universiay of Kansas, Maaske began his teaching career at Irrigon in eastern Oregon. ENTERTAINING ANGELS One evening last week a kind hearted motorist travelling along the highway down in Coos county picked up a couple of youthful hitch hikers. The grateful hitch hikers explained to the kind hearted mo torist that they had been kept in after school and had missed their bus. They also regaled the kind hearted motorist with tales of their numerous pranks at school at the expense of their teachers most of whom, in the opinion of the youth ful hitch hikers were deaf, dumb and blind—especially dumb. All of which interested the kind hearted motorist immensely for he had once been a boy himself, and as a boy had attended school and may have played jokes on his “dumb” teachers even as did these modem hitch hiking youths. Arrived at their destination the boys thanked the kind hearted motorist profusely for the “lift” and he in turn thanked them for their entertainment and as he prepared to “step on the gas” he presented each of his guests with his card. Ie read: “Rex Putnam, state superintendent of public in struction." ORDER OF THE ANTELOPE Official Oregon was well repre sented at the annual gathering of the Order of the Antelope on Hart Mountain last week.

Pearson, who holds the title of Keeper of the Canteen, in the organization; Secretary of State Earl Snell: Dan J. Pry, state purchasing agent; Jerrold Owen, secretary to the world war veterans state aid commission, and Lewis Griffith, secretary to the state land board.

Profits for the year were reported as $2,864,861, an increase of nearly $140.000 over the previous year. MORE NEW CARS If the automobile business is any criterion the people of Oregon are more prosperous than they have been for many years. Statistics compiled by Secretary of State Snell show thtat 15,732 new cars and trucks were sold by dealers in this state during the first half of the year. This is an increase of 35 per cent over new car sales for the same period in 1938, Snell said.
