API Retnrninr from an Alas kan vacation trip, W. M. Jardlne, secretary of agriculture, arrived in Portland today and remained in seclusion because he had been or dered to obtain much needed rest. He came here from Seattle after cancelling all his engagements there, nartlv on account of a de layed arrival of this boat in the Pneet Sound Dort and partly, on account of his need of rest. The secretary was rreatly ben efited by his three-weeks Journey in Alaska, according to nis orotn- er, J. T. Jardlne. Tomorrow . afternoon he . will visit the site of the proposed tram un Mt.

RETURNS Fwunir LOCAL TRAFFIC nnnimni nnnrn 1UUNI nuL UnbLU Vehicle Check Shows Peak Close To That Of c Larger Cities Claims recently made that reg ulation of traffic at several of Sa lem's downtown corners should be provided during the rush hours, are borne out by a comparison of traffic conditions here with those in larger cities. The most congested intersection in New York City Is at 57th street and Park avenue, and the peak load of traffic there finds 47 vehicles per hour passing the In tersection. That means approximately 75 vehicles ner minute, or one ve hicle every four-fifths of a second. Salem's peak load at State and Commercial streets is approxi mately 42 vehicles per minute, a condition which prevails during most of the noon hour and from 5 to I o'clock in the afternoon. But there are protracted per iods when vehicles are entering that intersection faster than one every second, a condition which approximates that at the most crowded corner on America's larg. est city. Peak loads at the busiest cor ners in many of the other leading cities run as low as 2800. which is close to that at State and Com mercial streets here. These cit ies, of course, have traffic con trol, either corner policemen or automatic signals, at many inter sections which do not carry traf fic as heavy as the most congest ed points here. EXTRADITION OF Adeline B. Willis, who is want ed in" Los Angeles on a cnarge of grand theft, will have an ex tradition hearing in the executive deDartment today, according to announcement made by Governor Patterson. Mrs. Willis recently received much publicity In connection with a project said to have Involved the purchase of a vessel owneu by Count von Luckner, uerman navel hero. The hearing will be on a requi sition Issued by the governor oi California for the woman's extra dition. I Leaves Los Angeles Mrs. Willis left Los Angeles A 1 .Hjl more tnan six dodidi tu nt to Portland. On March 19 of this year she was committed to the Oregon state hospital for ob- urvation. She was paroiea irom the institution August 22. and has inre been at the nome oi ner brother, E. J. Bryan in Portland. Albert K. Lucas, complaining witness against Mrs. Willis, is a Los Angeles attorney. He alleged that Mrs. Willis represented to him that she was the owner of 1300 acres of valuable timber land In Douglas county, that the iano as unencumbered and mat tne timber on the land was worm $5000.. On the strength of these representations she was said to have borrowed $5000 from Lucas, the loan was secured by a deed and was to have been paid in 30 days. Movie Deal Involved Mrs. Willis told the attorney. It was said, that the money was to be used in promoting a motion picture deal. Failure to secure the money, she said, would reuslt In the loss of several thousand dol lars. When the money was not paid within 30 days. Mr. Lucas discov ered that she had issued worth less checks in the amount oi 15000. and that she had admitted that she had misrepresented the property. im Mr. Lucas' amoavu saia me timber had been sold, there was a mortgage of $3500 on the proper ty, and the taxes had not been paid for four years. - John H. Nasn ano airs, ttose Bryant, deputy sheriffs from Los Angeles, arrived in Salem today in quest of Mrs. Lucas. They will remain here until the conclusion of the extradition hearing.

(AP) The troublesome request bj Costa Rica for an interpretation or tne Monroe doctrine by the council of the League of Nations, will not be included in the Agenda of that body when it starts its autumn session tomorrow. Instead the subject will be considered private ly. This was decided by council leaders tonight. It is likely that a reply of a sort will be sent to the Central-American government but this reply probably will be confined to a fact statement as to how the doctrine came to be men tioned in the covenant of the lea gue. The general view is that the Monroe doctrine is a unilateral proclamation by the United States. Therefore, it is held, the League of Nations is neither com petent to explain nor justified in expounding its meaning. Several changes in council membership are in prospect. China s term expires but there Is a feeling that it should be re elected so that It will ne.well rep resented at Geneva during re construction in tha country. Spain probably will be chosen to the council as successor to Holland. Either Venesuela or Paraguay is likely to be named aa successor to Columbia. MARSHFIELD, Ore..

CLOUGH Huston truly I k 1900 1 m " r I I Who believed Salem's pop ulation would grow at the rate of 800 per year for the next three decades? Cities fail to foresee their growth. No plans are made for its direction. Finally the city discovers that it has problems. And one of these problems is parks. Another problem is the intrusion of the gruesome cemeter y among the homes of the city. Memorial Parks meet these problems. Their popu larity and success are based on this ability. That they do so is evident Prices on this type of property are contin ually rising on account of the steady demand. Belcrest is on Browning Ave. just off Liberty Road. Visitors are welcome at any time. But you cannot com prehend the entire idea if the plans for future develop ment are not explained to you as you see it. Through some ladies we are soliciting a little of your time to ex plain these plans. There is no obligation attached. We ask only time enough, to show this project to you and explain it. Ideas and general information are valuable to all of us. We feel that all cit izens of Salem will be inter ested in the solution of an important municipal prob lem offered by a memorial park.
