Among topics for consideration wai a .probable readjustment of wage scales, based on declining cost 'of, living and the orer-supply of labor. ! Several Infractions of legion rules will come up for dis cipline.

A serious condition is reported from Jefferson where the Santlam river has attained its greatest height in years. The Millersberg bridge, three miles south of Jef ferson has been washed out, tele phone Un6s are down and In sev eral places the swift water has washed oat treacherous holes in the Jefferson highway. Mali Service Suspended ,: Mail service to Stayton hap been suspended due to the destruction of Pudding river bridge. . There is absolutely no open highway- be tween Stayton and Mthama due to the Impairment of larger bridges while small culverts and wooden bridges have' been 'washed out between Aumsvflle, Sublimity and Mehama. The dam of. the Stayton Ditch company at Stayton ,was dynarait ed Sunday night when the accum nlation of back water threatened to destroy the" dam- and dyke syfs tem. The water released at Stay- ton added greatly to the flood wa ters that found their way to the east Salem district. Houses west, of the railroad track at Turner 'were caught in the high water to a depth of six to "eight inches above ' the floors. The power plant was thrown out of commission and sidewalks were washed away. Dallas District Sorters In Polk county Dallas and vi cinity were caught by ths over flow from LaCreole creek and oth er streams- Many city and farm dwellings were reported to be isolated and the Willamette Val ley Lumber company camps and mills in the Black Rock sections were forced to close down, when a Southern Pacific bridge was washed out at Black Rock. The Hammond Lumber com pany's mill at Mill City is closed down. Santlam Country Flooded The regular Monday wash is well on its way down to the Co lumbia river, if it was left In the basement ready to be gathered up and worked over; for so many basements were flooded and turned inside out by the flood that came Sunday night that it partakes of the nature of a com munity calamity. ' The heavy rain of Saturday night and Sunday, that up In the mountains amounted almost to a continual cloudburst, brought a flood from the Santlam and from all over the flat country draining down' to the ' Willamette. The peak of the flood in tributary streams came near midnight Sat urday night when the water in the various streams running through Salem reached the maxi mum height. Most of Tew Park, in the south east part of Salem, was flooded, a regular torrent coming down from the south and, east, to be diverted by the Tailroad grade to, the Oak street bridge ust south of the depofc This flood carried out parti of the Winter street bridge, where the Twelfth street cars cross. ! The car service waa abandoned at -8 o'clock Sunday night because of the threatening rise of the waters. Power J Dam Destroyed The flpod reached near to a record height at this point, run ning a full foot deep over the bridge. The Salem paper mill, prior to its closing down last night, was one of the heavy sufferers from the flood. The company had built a dam to divert the waters of Mill creek, in the north part of the cityj through its canal to the mill,! and r.T-aned to Install a power plant there this week. The installation was to have been a turbine water wheel and a 250 kilowat electric generator. The permanent plant would not have been built at once, but the com pany counted on having that much power from a temporary set-up of the' machinery,-until the big plant could I be built next year. . May TKot be Replaced The fjood took out the dam. and it is considered doubtful whether jit can be replaced this winter. The actual loss on the dam itself, which was of timber and not an especially pretentious structure; is1 not nearly so heavy as the loss of power for the wholir winter. The rise in the stream below the paper mill cut off the fall of the jother power plant at the mill, ; so that the plant was short 180 horsepower from that source also. Train Noi. 54 of the Southern Pacific, due at 5 o'clock Monday morning, came in after 8, by way of the west route from Albany. Twoj culverts were washed out on the main line, pear Jefterson, and the trains had. to be. routed by Gerlinger and Corvallia to Al bany." "'. "i . ';' -' Sunshine.

But the istorm grabbed the innocent intruder with an ex cruciating , toe-hold, soaked it in the. eye wlttt.a boreatt blast, kick ed it in the shins and butted it in "the midriff with a floodgate full of near-snow and silverfrost, and it gave up its little ghost al most before it fairly got down t earth. ' ' The rainfall has bsen 5.3 inch es from! Saturday "morning until Monday night, 6 hours. It is believed to have been far nore than that, up in the foot tills that build up the Santiam floods, that have spread out over Salem and the miles of country between 'hure and the hills. O- E.

Unruh yesterday when he again postponed the trial of Forrest Brown who is being held in the county jail on twq charges. Trial of Brown has been de layed for 12 days on his plea that he had no attorney. When he come Into court Wednesday morning, Brown will face a charge of having intoxicating liquor in his possession. With the disposal of this -case he will face a charge of depositing glass upon a public highway. Brown was arrested several days ago by Officer W. W. iBrt chett following an exciting chase in which Brown discovered that the patrolman was too fast for him. Brown's attempted escape occurred when he hurled a bottle to the pavement when Officer Blrtchett attempted to halt him in the dbwntown district. Following his arrest Bown was fined $150 in city recorder's court on a charge of resisting an officer and so of throwing glass on the pavement. SALEM HIGH TO MEET LINCOLN Sport Lovers Show Deep In terest in Thanksgiving Game Slated Here SHADE IS SHADED NEWRK, N. J., Nov. 21. Micky Walker of Elizabeth, N. J., tonight was awarded a decision over Dave Shade. San Francisco welterweight, when the latter broke a bone in his right hand during he fifth round. Viewers-with-alarm can see one football game Thursday that has in it practically no element of danger, when the Salem high meets Lincoln high of Portland on Sweetland field. It isn't to be exactly a beribboned, devitalized &rter-you-my near liastank en counter that isn't the way they make if safe; but it's the condi tiou of the field in which they are to play. The present rain has In sured a efild as slippery a- goose grease, as soft as feathers. aa slow as molasses at the North Pole: there will be no tremen deous collisions, no lag -breaking, skull-cracking tackles, no mile-a-minute runs brought up short like a pea butting into Mount Hood. 1? will be la sare game, and par ents and patrons who have shiv ered at tho very thought of foot ball are urged to attun't this "t-afeH game. But it isn't likely to be "beauti ful" rfom an aesthetic point of view. The boys expect to get "wallered" in such mud as the super-dainty person never knew could be concocted. Identification tags are likely to be necessary be fore the melee is over, for the opportunities for a muddy dis guise are instant and everlasting. The Salem high team has been going like a quarter horse of late. splendid morale and some ex ceptional material have contrib uted to make the. team a formid able contender. The team has iost only one high school game this year, that' to McMinnville, early in the season but it has buried this one blot by an ava ianche of good scores in succeed ing games. The boys went out of the high school class to lose two other games with Chemawa and with Columbia university; but Jack Uempsey would be outclassed by a Jersey bull or a locomotive. lhey have perfected a smooth- working football machine that is a pleasure to' watch,! fend Its friends needn't be afraid to root for it against all corners!, !'3 Lincoln high of !
