The Indians have had an epi demic of illness that has laid out several of their star actors.

Howeattle is one of the most powerful looking men of h's size ever shown in Salem, though he is still a wrestl'ng novice-. The Indian boys had to cancel their proposed basketball game with Pacific college at Newberg, last week, because of the epidem ic of illness that still persists. existing in local schools. Lee By- ers was named as instructor of general science at the Washington high school and Lulu McCalfrey was given the instructorshiu ot the fourth grado at the Grant school.

Pool Soon To Be Fully Repaired "Y" habitues will rejoice that the work on the sw'mming pool Is progressing so rapidly that the pool should be ready for service within the next ten days of two weeks. A crew of four men has been working at the pool, finding and filling all the holes and cracks, and scraping the walls from one one end to the other. The walls and floor are then sandpapered, to make them perfectly smooth and to take off all loose material that might interfere with a per fect finish. Then they are to be coated with four coats of water proof cement enamel, which will put on a glazed finish and pre sumably make the cement entire ly waterproof. Secretary e!ls. wh:le not too sanguine about the everlastlng ness of the Job is hoping that it will hold until the city can build the f ne new "Y" that the work demands. The facilities are woe fully short of the demands and Mr. Kelts mourns that they have hadNto put as many as five busi ness men to a single locker in the dressing room He is hoping that the sign may soon he right for tha big new build'ng.

MERCHANT MARINE PLAN PRESENTED (Continued from page 1) by the present tariff law. which is inoperative because of the most "favored nat'on" clauses of com mercial treaties. The president reiterated that he did not intend to renounce these treaties as pro vided in the Jones shipping act of 1920 an act which would make the tariff subvention oper ative because, he said, it would "lead to endless embarrassment" and Inv'te disturbance of cordial relations. Repeal Xot Considered Administration leaders in con gress later said that no attempt would be made to repeal the treaty abrogation clause of the Jones act. but that the new pro gram would be pressed and the treaty abrogation provision left on the statute books.

(By The Associated Press) "Death from misadventure" was the verdict of the coroner's Inquest today into the death of Viscount Harcourt, former co'onial secretary, who died hero February 23. Evidence was given to show that death was due to syncopea while the viscount was suffering from pulmonary diseaso and was accelerated by an overdose of bro mide.

The commissions ot Secretary Hughes of the state department and Sec retary Hoover ot the department of commerce to the allied debt re funding comnrssion, were con firmed by the senate late today. Previously the senate had adopted a resolution extending for 10 days the time in which the Ju diciary committee can report as to the constitutionality of the nominations ot Senator Smoot. Republican, Utah, and Represen tative Burton, Republican, Oh!o to the commission. The question of their eligibility had been raised under the section of the constitu tion referring to the appointment of members of congress to federal civil offices. Secretary Mellon, as head of the treasury department, under the allied debt act, is exofficio chair man of the commission and there fore requires no confirmation. Al though the commission now has a working majority, it was not clear tonight whether tho commission could function without awaiting a decision on the question raised with reference to the nominations of Senator Smoot and represen tative Button. It was indicated that if this was Hesired to clear up th's point, President. Hardin might find it necessary to request n formal opinion from Attorney General Daugherty. It was fplt. however, this step would not be taken inasmuch aa but a few days delav at most probablv would be entailed. Sec retary Hughes Is expected back from Bermuda soon. Liljeqvist to Conduct Inquiry at Astoria L. J. Lilieqvist. assistant attor ney general, went to Astoria es terdav to conduct an invest' ration Into the acts of certain officials of Clatsop county through grand jury inquiry. Mr. LUJeqviRt goes to Astoria following instructions from Governor Olcott to Attorney General Van Winkle that either he or one of his assistants con duct the investigation In person The governor's instruction is that the' representative of the at torney general's office shall appear- before th grand Jury and conduct its proceedings as far as deemed necessary to make a com plete investigation "of the acts of any and all officers of ithis state, or of the county of Clatsop, or city of Astoria, or either munic' pal or publ'c corporation in said county." and to prosecute any of f!cer or officers indicted by the grand jury. E 101 PASSABLE Crews Whip Highways Into Shape With Cessation of Bad Weather DALLAS, Ore., Feb. 28. (Spe cial to The Statesman). Polk county roads are again in a fair condition for traveling after one of the most troublesome winters of many seasons as far as roads are concerned. The freezing and thawing weather which alternate ly hit Oregon this winter raised havoc with some of the county's best dirt and macadam roads and for a time they were practically mipassable. The road supervisors have, how ever, been busy the past several days with large crews making the- muca needed repairs and correct ing the dainage in many cases and dragging the roads, and have again got them in good condition so that it is possible to travel (over practically the entire county in ana automobile. The new roadbed built by the Dennis Construction company be tween where the paving ends on tha Dallas-Salem highway and Bunk's corner is one of the best pieces of roadbuilding in the state. -The loose gravel has been rolled and packed until it is poa - j tiuAiv itkiakut m9 uiutii sywu ViC ntKl. . tln -m mmmU . COMMISSIONS IE CONFIRMED POLK it as on th hard surfaced parts of the road. The new road built by the county court between Dal las and Polk station last summer is also in line snape ana as soon as the weather permits' the court expects to do considerable road work in the northwestern part oi the county, taking the gravel for the work from Mill creek; Is It a Still or Not ts Knotty Question What might, then aga?n might not. be a still, has been brought In by Deputy Sheriffs Barber and Smith. A tin-lined copper boiler with a coil enclosed in a water cooler constitute the outfit, which is on display at Sheriff, Bower's office. The paraphernalia was found by a farmer living north ot Sa lem, the officers being called in to solve the mystery of what it was all about. The copper boiler and its cov er are not fitted with any con nection with the other portion ot the apparatus and had it not been for the presence of the naughty little coil, the suspicions of the finder would riot have been arous ed. The mystery is unsolved and promises to add only to the small heap of distilling apparatus taken in several raids by Sheriff Bower and law enforcement agents. BALDEREE LOGS The Spaulding mill is now re ceiving logs from the, Balderee operations on the upper Luckia mute, which recently opened up after laying off for the winter The timber is especially large ind fine yellow fir, mountain-grown, and clear and soft. Mr. Balderee, whose home is in Dallas, still has several million feet to get out to complete hla contract with the Spauldings. The size of the logs, and the elevation of the forest that is fairly within the snow belt, has made logging operations difficult if not Imprac ticable for the, winter, so work was suspended there during the bad weather. The Spaulding company is now getting a trainload of 20 cars a day from the, Spaulding-Miami company forests on the Grand Ronde. This also is good timber, anad the mill is making a fine production record. A constnat demand for lumber for export, especially the "Jap squares," is keeping the market alive, even though the freight rates to American points and the shortage of funds in. the great treeless plains east of the Rocky mountains, keep the home demand from stampeding itself with fool ish prosperity. The Salem home demand is better than it is almost anywhere else on the coast, anad that has kept the local mills with a sure if not an exclusive or clam orous market. - WROTE TO TAYLOR.
