board DECIDES TO
BUY DUNIWAY PLANT
Disregards Recommendation of Harris
to Buy New Modern Plant for
Very Little More.
HARRIS THINKS IT WOULD BE
ECONOMY TO BUY NEW PLANT
However Board Decides to Buy and
win Pay Salem Scale to Printers
Employed at Capitol.

Demands of R. A. Harris, state print
or, for a new printing plant and the
Portland union wage scale, which is
S4.5O more a week for each employe
than the Salem union scale, were re.
Jected yesterday afternoon by a unan-
imous vote of the state printing board,
consisting of Governor West, State
Treasurer Kay and Secretary of State
lcott' The board decided to offer Mrs.
Willis Scott Duniway, widow of the late
state printer, $l5,47O for the Duniway
plant, this being the appraisement
made by George Putnam of Medford
and G. W. 0rton of Portland, a major.
lty OF the appraisement committee.
Carey Hayter of Dallas, the other mem.
Der, appraised the plant at about $l6,.
500.
When Mr. Harris demanded that the
Portland scale of $3.50 a week be put
into effect Messrs. Kay and Olcott said
they saw no reason why the state
should pay its men more than private
concerns. Governor West said he saw
no reason why the present scale should
not be adopted, explaining that the
most expert men coulu be paid what
the board saw fit.
Mr.. Harris declared he could not get
good worllmen for the Salem scale, and
pleaded that it would be economy to
adopt the Portland scale.
Work Held Satisfactory.
Why should the state Nave a higher
scale than othersl" asked Treasurer
Kay. "The work has been done sat.
isfactorily under the Salem scale"
"You and l have the brunt of this
battle to bear Mr.. Harris" said the
governor owe have promised the peo.
pie that the work would be done
cheaper under the flat salary law
than under the old system, and we
must keep our pledge. We should start
with the scale in operation now and
see what happens"
Economy to Buy New Plant.
That new and better equipment for
a state printing plant can be purchased
Tor SlIll5 was asserted by State Print,
er R. A, Harris at the meeting yester.
day As in the case of every old print
shop, there is lot of worthless Junk
in the Duniway plant, and it would cost
the state $l5,47O. Additional macbin.
cry required would bring the cost up tc
$l7ll5, or just $537.22 less than a new
modern plant would cost.

MET BIC SURPRISE
WaShburn Faced Team of Vet
Grams and Giants i'm Aggies.
Bennie Owens Expected Result
Was Hard Trip.

Coach Glen Gray and his proteges
of Washburn went to saltwater, Okla.
last week to play the Oklahoma Ag-
gies. The Washburn men found more
trouble than they expected. The
Saltwater eleven was made up of
beef, Drawn and veterans which they
now claim will make a good showing
among the Missouri valley conference
teams. Washburn held them to one
field goal and feel that it was lucky
in accomplishing that much
The Washburn team returned to To-
peka Sunday considerably battered
feat Even at that, Coach Davis of the
Saltwater eleven asserted that the
Washburn team was the best that has
been seen in that section of the state.
In meeting the Oklahoma Aggles,
Washburn was forced to battle with
giants The ends averaged 1S0
pounds each, the tackles more and
the guards and center more than zoo
pounds EACH All Of them were vet
Grams.
The trip was hard on the Sons of
Ichabod. They were forced to be on
the road all of Thursday night and
until about noon Friday in order to
reach saltwater. In addition to that,
the heat was oppressive and the Kan
sans did not show their full strength
until the latter part of the contest
which was after the sun began to
disappear and the heat to decrease.
cellent showing.
Forbes, who replaced Myers at full
back who was injured during the
early part of the game, was one of
the surprises of the season. He inter
cepted three forward passes and turn
ed them into long gains for the Wash
burn eleven and he hit the line for
steady gains.
Trobert's punting was a feature. On
one occasion he punted from the
Washburn five-yard line to the Aggies'
ten yard line and one of the Aggies
caught the ball in the air. He at
goal, but the wind carried the ball
outside the goal posts. The Okla
homans attempted four field goals and
succeeded in but one and it resulted in
a victory.
Captain Dean Rogers was a fiend in
through the Aggies' heavy
line and breaking up good plays. He
was the defensive star of both teams
Coach Bennie Owens of the Okla
homa State university team was in
Topeka Saturday, and in discussing
the observation-disclosures game was
not surprised at its results. He says
that all Oklahoma teams are forging
to the front in football circles and
that they must be reckoned with in the
future. He expected the Aggies to de-
feat the Washburn eleven and would
not have been surprised at one sided
score.
The following is an extract from the
Daily Oklahoman concerning the
game:
Just how complime entary the
coaches of the Aggie and Wash burn
eIevens were when Coach Davis said,
following the game: 'Washburn has
the strongest team have seen on this
field and Coach Gray, an Oberl1n
star The Aggies are by far the strong
est team we have met; they would
make a splendid showing against the
teams of the west, such as Nebraska
and Minnesota is to be guessed at"
