Peck, head of the biology department at Wil lamette university, has been given leave of absence for the school year beginning next September, in order that he may complete his book, "Flora of Oregon." This work is to be more thor ough and exhaustive than any de scription of Oregon's flora that has appeared previously, and is one which Professor Peck is es pecially well prepared to write, as he has spent all his summer va cations scouring the state for ad ditional specimens, since coming to Willamette 20 years ago. Before completing It, however, he will visit all of the important herbaria in the east, in the possi bility that there may be some va rieties which he has not encount ered in his field work. Mrs. Peck, who has assisted "her husband In all of his field work and compilation of speci mens, will accompany him on the trip east. Professor Peck has collected, in these years of investigation, a herbarium of something like 17, 000 Oregon herbs, and this collec tion will become the property of the university when it Is complet ed. An expert recently declared that when fully catalogued, this collection would be worth close to $30,000. ; The leave of absence was grant ed Professor Peck at a recent meeting of the executive commit tee of the university board of trus tees. TOLL ROAD CASE DENIED Public Service Commission Denies It Has Jurisdiction "A toll road is not by any Mretch of the Imagination a pub lic utility similar to a common carrier railroad or an electric rail way line." This was one of the outstanding statements contained in an order of the public service commission which Tuesday dismissed the ap plication of the Wilson River Toll Road company for a certificate of public necessity and convenience. The public service commission disclaimed Jurisdiction over the enterprise. A bill authorizing the construc tion of the Wilson River toll road was passed during the last session of the legislature, but was vetoed by Governor Patterson. Sponsor? of the bill alleged that the pro posed toll road was a necessity, and that its construction would reduce the distance between Port land and Tillamook approximately TO miles. The bill had the support and was introduced in the legislature ly members of the Multnomah. Washington and Tillamook dele gations.

ROYALTIES CONSIDERED Sand and GraTel Matter Discuss ed ; Agreement Ready Soon Land department officials of the states of Oregon and Wash ington held a conference in Salem Tuesday In connection with fixing the amount of royalty that will be demanded for the removal of sand from the Columbia river during the past seven years. A dozen or more sand and gravel operators were represented at the confer ence.

Another meeting of the land department officials will be heir" wo weeks hence when some agreement will be announced. CATGH BURGLAR AFTER 2 SHOTS Home of Service Station Pro prietor Entered But Nothing Missing OTHER ACTS ADMITTED Officer Edward Makes High Bat ting Average In Suspects; Prisoner Admits Two Terms in Penitentiary Burglars and other trlflers with the law, pretty soon are going to get the Idea that Salem Is an un healthy place for their activities. Tuesday night the peace and quiet of the police station was dis turbed by word that the home of E. Wilcox, service station proprie tor at 17th and Center street, had been entered by a burglar. Sever al of the. officers, one of whom was Traffic Officer O W Edwards, went out to investigate. They found evidence that the house had been rummaged thoroughly by the illegal visitor, but no property was found to be missing. On the way back to the police station, Edwards noticed a sus picious looking man, stopped and questioned him. The man said bis name was George Morgan, and otherwise partly accounted for himself, but Rewards decided to take him to the station anyway. Just outside the police head luarters, the man ducked and ran, with Edwards after him. Edwards ir.ok two shots, but did not halt the fugitive. After dodging through the state terminal and other build ings in the vicinity, he was caught in the rear of a fruit stand on the opposite side of High street, by a civilian to whom Edwards had shouted a warning that the man was wanted. The captor's name was not learned. Safely landed In Jail, the man admitted, according to the police,! that he had entered the Wilcox borne, and also that he had com mitted another burglary here the same day. No complaint of this case has been made, and the po lice believe the victims are out of town. Several watches and a quantity of other jewelry were in the man's possession, and he is also said to have admitted a burglary in Portland. He said that he had served two terms in the peniten tiary at Monroe, Wash. WANTS TO BE PRESIDENT Rer. Alonzo- P. Workman AsLh Democratic Nomination Rev. Alonzo F.

BURIAL GROUND'S HISTORY MISLAID OLD GRAVES UNEARTHED AT GRAVEL PIT TO NORTH Pioneers Cannot Recall Cemetery Ever Having Been Located There At some period In Salem's early history, or perhaps even before the Idea of establishing a town here had been conceived, the location of the present gravel pit on Oregon Electric, property north o f the mute school, was used as a grave yard. Now the persons removing grav el have dug back into this burial plot, exposing six badly decompos ed caskets, and some fragments of human bones. Beyond the edge of the gravel pit, signs remain of many more graves, apparently arranged sym metrically in rows. Someone In Salem may know when that vicinity was used as a burial place, and whose graves those are that are being encroach ed upon by the demand for gravel but The Statesman was not able fo find any such nerson vesterdav. Several of the oldest living pl- oneers were questioned, and they were certain that there was no known graveyard there at any time In the last 50 years. The caskets are of cedar, and they were fastened together with the old square "cut nails" of a former generation. Still, that tyre of nails Is to be found in many"of Salem's older buildings. Early history carries several suggestions as to the possible age of this cemetery. The place where the mute school now Btands was a part of what was known Wallace prairie, where the Pacific Fur company established a station in 1812. How much of a settlement there was at that time is not known, but It may have been sufficient ly large to account for a cemetery of the size which appears to have existed there. Then came Jason Lee in 1834. One of his ventures in addition to the mission school near the river. was an intermediate school on Wallace prairie. This is one fea ture of his activities that is little known, especially as to its out come. Lee was criticized for start ing this school. But the cemetery may be of more recent origin. Within the last 40 years and for an Indefin ite period before that time, the smallpox pesthouse was located in that vicinity. It is possible that on one occasion of some epidemic of smallpox at a forgotten period, a number of persons died there, and it was found necessary for the sur viving patients or the attendants to bury the victims nearby. But all of this Is conjecture, and may be dlsproven if some person comes forward with authentic data about this mysterious burial ground. QUARANTINE TAKEN OFF Infantile Paralysis Ban Removed From Stanford Campus STANFORD UNIVERSITY, Feb 7. (AP) Removal of the quar antine on the university campus the last two weeks was announced here today by Dr. Thomas A. Stor ey, Stanford health officer.

LARGE SECTI m SCOURED WHEN UN MISSED Hundreds of Men Comb City of Spokane and Nearby River and Woods FOUL PLAY SUSPECTED Wife of County Sheriff Gone Since Monday Evening; Revenge May II flvp Iin Motive for Kidnaping SPOKANE, Feb. 7. (AP) While hundreds of men combed woods and river banks near her home, and others searched room lug houses and hotels of this city. Mrs. Floyd Brower, wife of the .sheriff of Spokane cqunty, still was missing tonight. Search of the downtown district was conducted on the theory ot Sheriff Brower that a criminal, bent on avenging some grievance against him, had kidnaped his wife, or that she had been picked up as she was taking a walk near her home last evening by a band of drunken roisterers, who feared to release her when they learned of her identity. Footprints Discovered The search of the river by possemen and by pilots of two na tional guard airplanes followed discovery of footprints in the snow, believed to be those of Mrs. Brower, that led to the margin of the stream, but which were t raced as leading away again. Although the woman has been 111 for some time, and was subject to periodic despondency as a result, her hus band did not credit the possibility that she might have taken her own life. After putting her young daugh ter to bed last night, she went for a short walk, attired in a house dress with a sweater and coat over it and with a house cap on her head. The alarm was sound ed last night when she did not re turn, and radio stations here bioadcast her description. VOTE FOR NEW SCHOOL Salem Heights District to Build: Cartoon Plays Part By a vote of 59 to 21 the Salem Heights district last night voted to build a new school house to replace the present one which has been In use for some 18 years The new building is expected to cost something over $10,000. There was considerable debate at last night's meeting before the vote was taken, strong opposition being voiced to the new project chiefly for financial reason. One of the deciding factors was declared to be a cartoon drawn by Murray Wade of this city and exhibited at the meeting. The cartoon showed a mas of charred wreckage, purporting to be the remains of a burned school build Ine. with small piles of white bones scattered among the debris. There are between 110 and 120 pupils in attendance at the school A special committee was ap pointed last night to confer with the school board about plane for the new plant. BRIDGE WORKER INJURED S.

The arm was jerked between the belt and flywheel, it was re ported, and badly lacerated.

Herviz was taken in an ambu lance to the Salem general hospit al. PLANES STOP, R0SEBURG Maps Show City's Landing Field In Wrong Direction ROSEBURG. Feb. 7. (AP) Three navy airplanes, bound from Seattle to San Diego landed here tonight when a low-lying storm be tween Roseburg and Grants Pass prevented them from getting through the canyon. The maps they used showed Roseburg's landing field east instead of south of town. The fliers spent considerable time hunting for a landing place and finally came down in a swam py pasture north of the city. Later they succeeded In taking off and reaching tire main flying field safely. The planes were piloted by Lieu tenants D. C. Allen, M. V. Davis, Jr.. and H. V. Hopkins. The planes were purchased in Seattle. I PUBLIC MARKET OPENING NEARS NEED OFTEN STRESSED HERE TO BE FILLED SOON Farmers Produce Feature Will he Added When Season Gets Started Why has Sa!em no public mar ket? The most able statistician in captivity would balk at the prob lem of estimating how many times that question has been asked. It has been broached not only by private citizens or saiem. poten tial customers of such an estab lishment, but by farmers and farm organizations. It has even found its way into the deliberations of the city council, with proposals to establish a market at this or that location. Tbe problem seemed to be that the ordinary street booth type of public market was considered an undesirable neighbor in any loca tion which would fulfill the farm ers' requirements. But now that problem has been solved by the construction of a new type of public market, one completely Inclosed In an attrac tive building, and In a supremely desirable location. It occupies a quarter block at the southeast corner of North Commercial and Marion streets. - The expectant puhiic is to have its opportunity to view the build ing Thursday. Friday and. Satur day of this week, when formal open house will be held, with an interesting program of entertain ment in addition to the attraction of viewing this unique mercantile center. It is true that for the present the public farmers' market fea ture will not be provided, but space is left for it despite the fa t that the space could have ben rented several times over. This feature of the building will get in operation as soon as the farm produce season is in full swing. The building Itself Is leased by W. J. Busick and H. L. Stiff, who therefore must be given credit for ponsoring this new venture. It represents an investment of $350. 'J00 for building and equipment. Aside from the farmers' market irrangement, the market concen trates a variety of retail business es, and will feature prices lower than those prevailing In the down town section because of low rent ind the uniform cash basis on which it will be conducted. An unusual feature of the t'ulkling is its lack of display win dows. The shopper must go in side In order to see any of tbe merchandise offered; yet the building is thoroughly lighted throughout from smoked glnsp windows on three sides of !h Jiuildlng above the marquee. Each section has its own window which jan be opened for ventilation If my is needed in addition to that provided by the automatic ventila tion Fyntem. The building Is -team heated.
