ed II. Downing, Salem, and Frank

state board of agriculture, to succeed

Is the son of George Downing. former
superintendent of the the penitentiary
under the administration of Governor
Pennoyer, and an old pioneer of this
state. He has lived in Marion county
the greater part of his life, which he
has devoted to agricultural pursuits,
and is deemed most efficient member
NJ the board to which he has been APP
pointed. When Governor Chamberlain
was elected to his Office Mr.. Downing
was one of the leading candidates for
the superintendency of the penitentiary
but owing to the factional fight which
then existed in the ranks Of the Denl-
ocratic party of the city and county,
and which still exists, a strong rivalry
for the position arose between Frank
w. Durbin, the candidate fthe opposi'
ton, with the result that neither Of
them was appointed and after Cover
nor Chamberlain had waited a reason
able length of time for them to patch
matters up and decide which of them
was ontitlrd to it., he grew weary and
disgusted, and settled the QUESTION by
appointing Superintendent James to
the position.
Frank Lee is the publisher of the
Pacific Farmer, of Portland and is well
known throughout the state.
