w. L. Thompson, Pendleton
Banker, Selected to Serve for
Eastern Oregon,

In announcing the appointment Of the
members of the new State Highway
Commission, Governor Withycombe de-
clared that with the personnel of the
committee and the safeguards that
have been thrown about the proposed
1900, 600 bond issue to go before the
people, he is strongly in favor of the
plan. He expressed the intention of
making every effort possible to assist
in bringing about favorable vote on

and philanthropist of Portland. His
appointment is for the district which
is comprised Of Multnomah county and

constructive road Legislation in its
/ history and it will compare favorably
with road legislation in any state in
the Union.

and with the safeguards that are
thrown about the 80, 900, 900 bond issue.
which will go before the people for
their ratification, | feel gratified in
declaring that | can give my unqual-
flied endorsement to the project. With
the bonds issued under a limitation of
1000, 600 for the first year and $s,-
600, 900 for the second year, the peo-
pie will be well protected and the COM
mission given ample time and means
to get the road programme, under way.
II shall do all in my power to assist
in bringing about favorable vote on
the bond issue in June under the con.
ditions that have made it mighty and
constructive piece of road legislation"

Potato Prices Decline.

Potato buying in Portland has been
brought to a standstill because of the
sagging tendency Of markets all along
the line. Shippers in the markets
who had heretof ore been offering SO. SO,
quoted the market Wednesday at s8. 25
at the outside and the majority of
them would not name price above 81.
Shipments have been brought to stop
because of easier markets in the East
and Southwest. At San FRANCISCO a
decline of S5 cents was reported. The
check given to business in the big
Eastern and Southern centers is be-
lieved to be due entirely to the high
cost of potatoes.

Car Shortage Less.

The backbone Of the car shortage on
the, Southern Pacific lines in Oregon
seems to be broken. This is particlar-
ly true as to cars routed over the lines
of the Southern Pacific, but shortage
still exists as to cars routed via Port
land. Reports received by the secre-
tary of the Public Service Commission
show drop from a shortage of 1923
freight cars to 748. This is the lowest
shortage of ears shown since the acute
situation began several months ago.

 The Wickersham mites have given away in one particular that is that their temporary chairman should be the President.
 The reason for this was because the House would not recognize hlm as such, and refused to mix up ill what they term petty squabble. The humorous part of it is that the House is not Wickershamite by a large majority, and hence is decided ly against the action of the Wicker shamites Gin deadlocking the busi- ness'.
