as the men to be honored by hav-
ing their bronze statues given
place in the Hall of Fame at Wash

reading of history causes him 70
conclude that Mclaughlin did his
best to turn the Oregon country to
British control, and his attitude
was changed only under compul-
sion.
The resolution provides that the
governor, the president of the sem
ate, speaker of the house. president
of the state historical society and
secretary of the Oregon State Pho
neer society shall be a committee
ito take such steps as are deemed
necessary in their judgment to
make effective the objective of
these resolutions"
The original resolution appropri-
atd s25,O00 for the proposed bronze
statutes, but this was eliminated as
it has been stated on the floor of
the house that the money required
would be provided from private
sources if the legislature would
designate Mclaughlin and Lee as
the men to be honored by places in
the hall of fame.

Mr.. Poorman drew a word pic

his rail-splitting activities and his
career as teacher, salesman, law

"In disposition and tempera-
ment," Mr.. Poorman said, "he was
very changeable. usualuly he was
cheerful and kept all around him in
laughter with his keel wit and
droll stories, but when alone he
would sink into deepest melan-
choly.
After the death of his sweet
heart his friends feared that his
reason had been unseated but
Bowlin Green, a friend, took Lin

after this, however. grief seemed
to overwhelm him."

Many humorous stories of Mr..

Describing Mr.. Schwab as tbe

Mr' Schwab to serve, because he
realized that Satisfactory Drogreee
was not being made in the building

Good Balances Evil
reviewing the boards work gen
orally during the war; Mr.. Hurley
sald mistakes had been made hut
that the board was able to turn out
ships IN great enough numbers to
help turn the tide at the most criti-
cal period of the war.
Mr.. Hurley denied he had nrono-
lsed wooden shipyards owners suf-
liclent contracts for three turns on
thelr ways, regardless of an early
termination of the war.
Discussing the placing of CON
tracts IN Japan for steel ships MIR
Hurley said the increased expense
was justified because the limited
States had to have ships in a hurry
ana the japanese yards were able
to rush delivery.
Sees Bright Future,
Mr., Hurley said he was optinis-
tic as to the future of the Ameri-
can merchant marine. He recom-
mended some changes in the Ia
follette seaman's act, chiefly to
prevent the desertion of crews.
Our ships do not operate at any
disadvantage, he
said, adding that wages did NOT

said cannot produce ships "mucb
