Then the minute we permit the manufacture and sale of light wines and beer, we will bring back the breweries, which will mean the sanction of that much of the liquor traffic.

SEEK SLAYER OF WOMAN VICTIM, 83, IS CHOKED DEATH IX HER HOME TO LOS ANGELES, April C (AP) Police tonight were making a determined search for the slayer of Mrs. Luella Phinney, 83, whose body was found today beneath a box couch in the home in the southwest residence section which she had occupied for nearly SO years. Investigators expressed the belief that the killing was the work of a demented person. Mrs. Phinney's body was found by her niece, Mrs. A. C. McArthur of Lomita, near here, who told officers she had been staying at the house since Sunday and had slept on a couch under which the body was found, for two nights before she discovered it. The aged woman had been strangled to death with sheeting which had been wrapped about her neck and this tightened with an automobile tire iron. 1 OPPOSE STAX FIELD BILL ILWACO, Wash., April 6. (By Associated Press.) The IlwacO chamber of commerce today pass ed a resolution opposing the bill introduced in congress by Senator Stanfield of Oregon which would cede back to the' state of Oregon except for military purposes an is land in the estuary of the Colum bia river, known as Baker's Bay. i; PRICE aBB,adSoatt I r tin FOSllllOiJ 80IL 40,000 Acres Would Re Improved Says 0AC Ex- pert in Address Marion county has approximate ly 40,000 acres of free working soil that can be improved by irri gation, declared Prof. W. L. Pow ers of Oregon Agricultural college who addressed members of the Salem chamber of commerce Mon day noon. By irrigation the various crops raised in this county can be made larger at comparatively small cost. At the present time it costs about $1 an acre inch to irrigate land here. Professor Powers expressed his opinion that with further de velopment and theelement of effi ciency the cost can be reduced to about 40 cents per acre inch. Irrigation of flax land has so improved the soil that in some instances the flax has grown to longer length, bringing the flax from the second class to the first class, and hence, bringing in more money. In the state of Oregon, Mr. Powers told members of the cham ber there are about 1,500,000 acres that can be reclaimed . by irrigation. One sixth of the lower lands can be proved through sup plementary irrigation. Irrigation ia not a new thing here, Professor Powers said. It has been developed in connection with intensive farming. Potato crops and many other vegetable! crops have been increased marked ly through this supplementary; ir rigation. "This is a logical sugar beet fac tory site," declared Prof. Powers. "Sooner or later you will have one ! here." HOLD OWNERS, NOT DOGS ORDER ISSUED TO ARREST OWNERS OP ALL STRAYS From now on dogs and owners thereof must beware. At the meeting of the council Monday night Street Commissioner Walter Low was instructed to enforce the ordinance which prohibits dogs from running about at random. Alderman Ellis Purvine brought the matter up, remarking that several complaints have been voic ed recently at the number of dogs running rampant." "The trouble is," pointed Pur vine, "we try to arrest the dog instead of the owner." Walter Low corroberated this statement, declaring stray dogs are being caught and killed every day. - "Dogs are a nuisance in the city," declared Mayor Giesy. , It was at this juncture that Low was Instructed to "leave dogs alone and go after the owners." civic The GT 1 1 MAE MURRAY IIEHE I'HED Extravagant Settings Used In 'Drama of Friendly Underworld Dancer While in Paris Mae Murray en listed the aid of the foremost gown designers of the French cap ital, and for days haunted the f ashion-ateliers, spending a small fortune in specially designed fin ery to be used in the "Masked Bride" which opens at the Heilig theatre today. .
