PEOPLE WHO
KNEW HOOVER
Cronise Would Establish
Hoover In Presidents
Chair If Given Power
By ''Kind Fairy"

That Herbert Hoover. who is now
being urged for the presidency by
many OF our best citizens and news
papers, was a persistent chap and Of a
progressive disposition even as boy
is evidenced in some degree by an IN
cident which occurred in 1889, or
thereabout. when he was office boy
for the Oregon Land company in this
city, according to Tom Cronise, 1913
North Commercial street
"Bert's uncle was president of the
company and the circumstances un-
der which the boy became a resident
Of Salem are now generally known, '
says Mr.. Cronice.
Tells of Experiments.
"The company occupied rooms In
the old state insurance building. at tho
corner OF Commercial and Chemeketa
street. now the property of the Y M.
c. A. The cop,pany's offices were on
the first floor. My printing office was
on the second floor. Running from
the rear of the company's office was q
hallway, and in this hallway, boxed in
was water motor from which belt
extended to the press power shaft up
stairs
Being interested In the develop
ment of fruit lands, the company had
been making experiments looking to
the preservation of prunes and other
fruits, and in these experiments young
Hoover was much concerned. Wheth-
er he was engaged In Independent ex-
pertinent or not do not know, but one
day the atmosphere in the press room
became so charged with sulphur fumes
That to breathe was difficult. The
fumes appeared to be coming through
the holes in the floor provided for the
belt from the motor, and a hasty in
spection revealed young Hoover busi-
ly engaged with quantity of fruit, a
pan, an alcohol lamp and other para
phernalia spread upon the motor box
Chung Doggedly to Task.
Il remember with sadness that l ex.
postulated with him through the holes
in the floor. So engrosscd was he ir
his experiments that he gave small
heed to my short -winded remarks
And then U remember this also will
sadness) directed some words to hin
that caused him to look up with con.
Germ on his face. The words were al.
most as sulphurous as the atmosphere
he was creating. My companion In the
press room stated that the combina,
ton was the strongest thing in his ex
perience, and the grin on his fac,
would have Illuminated the top of tn,
Woolworth building.
THE experiments, in that immediat,
locality at least, ended then and there
but have never forgotten the look o.
earnestness- on young Hoover's face
nor the persistence with which h,
clung to the work he was engaged In
The same tenacity OF purpose seems I,
have eyinced itself through his Who'll,
career Shortly after this he went {,
California, where his brother Tad. VIII,
got his first job in Salem in my print
ing office, later followed him.
From my acquaintance with Her
bert Hoover as "a boy am convince,
that he is eminently capable and hon
est and possesses the mighty grace o
sincerity II some good fairy shoul,
put into my hands the deciding vot,
for president of the United States,
would cast II for Hoover and be v~r,
glad Of the opportunity for doing so.
