SEVENTY-NINTH YEAR
Highway Across Cascades
To Be Considered at Meet
In Salem Friday
Tentative Right of Way for
Niagara Route Will Be
Mapped Out Soon
Discussion of the Santlam" high
Tray will be the purpose of a meet
ing to be held In Salem, Friday,
January 17. to be attended by the
Marlon county court, representa
tives of the Salem chamber of
commerce and the state highway
commission. It is expected that
some definite announcement will
be made as to which road will be
first completed, the North San
tiam or the South Santiam.
The county court has baen urg
ing the completion of the road
across the mountains by way of
Detroit and recently posted f 100,
000 to match money for federal
forestry funds to be used, on. road
work. Telegrams were I also. ebt
to Oregon's representatives' " In
Washington, D. C. in an effort to
get federal aid. While the court
has been advised that forestry
money is not available at this
time, the government has sug
gested that the county spend its
money developing the survey and
on road construction with the
pro3Pect that all money spent by
the county would be matched
when government funds are later
available.
Tentative Right of Way
Will Be Established
Withlng a few days the mem
bers. of the county court will Jour
ney to Niagara in company with
J. H. Scott, market road engineer
for the state highway department,
for the. purpose of laying out a
tentative right of way for the de
velopment and improvement of
the road.
A recent development which
ffects the status of the road is
the moye hy residents of the De
troit road district to have the
Breitenbush road 1 taken under
county supervision. A legal point
was involved In the move, how
ever, but that has been smoothed
out and it is expected that when

No Patrolman
Will Be Named
For Elkhorn
Because of divided sentiment
In the district, the county court
has definitely decided not to ap
point a patrolman for the Elk
horn district. Residents of the
district have been undecided .re
garding their choice of a patrol
man and two petitions had been
received by the court for appoint
ments. Bales Case served as pa
trolman last year and one petition
was for ..him while the other was
-tor Ed Sischko who served for
four years as patrolman. '
It was charged in the petition
for Sischko that Case had hired
work done by men living outside
the district and with not follow
ing a survey when engaged in
cutting down a hill. He was al
so accused of working his own
teams principally.

WASHINGTON, Jan. ,11 (AP)
Control of the senate republi
can organisation by v the "young
guard" and western independents
as against the old guard regulars
was claimed today as the reor
ganized party machine was form
ally approved.
Senator Nye of North Dakota,
who was a member of the com
mittee on committees, which
fought oiri the issue of recogni
tion of various factions in the
new setup, claimed the majority
against the old guard.
"There Is a new majority in the
senate republican party," he said
off the floor. The party confer
ence and the senate had unani
mously approved the new organi
zation which gives places on the
finance committee to Senators La
Follette, of Wisconsin, and Thom
as of Idaho.
Senator LaFollette is one of the
western independents who have
rewritten the republican tariff bill
In combination with the democrats
in the interests of agriculture
along. He was placed on the com
mittee over the opposition of four
of the old guard Reed or Penn
sylvania, Moses of New Hamp
shire, Bingham of Connecticut,
and Deneen of Illinois.
- Senator Smoot of Utah, the vet
eran chairman of the finance
committee, offered no explanation
of his vote .in placing LaFollette
on this committee when Senator
Wheeler, democrat, Montana, ask
ed in the senate if Smoot had not
threatened to quit if the Wiscon
sin independent were chosen.

beyond that- the "would runs

undoubtedly brought about by a
combination of circumstances
grouped about the following rea

certain definite group in the par
ty wished a safe, sound "Old

certain group of leaders in Port

Sunday Morning Colder
Than Saturday at Same
Time, Shown
Just how cold it has been in
Salem and vicinity may be a moot
question, but It is safe to assert
that Sunday morning was colder
than Saturday morning, when the
official government thermometer
registered a new minimum for the
year of seven degrees above aero.
The downtown thermometers
stood at 22 degrees early Sunday
morning, two degrees lower than
at the same hour Saturday, and
It may be inferred that the offi
cial Instrument will show another
record drop.
Saturday for the first time the
official temperature remained be-'
low freeing point all day, 27 de
grees being the highest mark
reached.
The forecast tor today is "un
settled" with snow In this part of
the state, but the forecasts for
the last several days have been
Inaccurate, for Salem at least, and
there was no indication of a snow
storm approaching early this
morning.

Reduction in the force of city
employes, forecast several weeks
ago when It became evident that
there would be little street im
provement work this year In com
parison to recent years, became
an actuality Saturday when three
men were released from their
regular tasks.
They are Harold Davis and
Harry Mlnto, employed in the city
engineer's office, and K. Snyder,
timekeeper for the street im

departments.
Whether any more of .the reg
ular employes of the city will be
dismissed, will probably be de
cided at an early meeting of the
street improvement committee.
Hugh Rogers, city engineer, has
indicated that there will be work
for one assistant in his office.
Another related question also
remains to be decided, and that
Is whether city officers whose
salaries have been paid partly out
of the street improvement fund
will be deprived of that addition
al remuneration, now that the
street Improvement work prom
ises to be lax.

DRIVE STARTED ON
T
Cars in City Must be Driven
More Slowly is Decree
By Local Police
A concentrated campaign
against motorists who apparent
ly have been proceeding on the
theory that Salem's streets were
built for speedways, has been
started by the police, with George
Edwards, day traffic officer, do
ing the great bulk of the cam
paigning. Nearly all traffic accidents are
caused by speeding, Officer Ed
wards declares, and there has
been an unusual number of acci
dents recently. For the first ten
days of January, 68 accident re
ports have been filed at the po
lice station, among them reports
of several Injuries although none
has been outstandingly serious.
Decision to check up closely on
speeding has been encouraged by
the expressed attitude of the city
council, following receipt of, com
plaints of speeding, especially
from residents of East State
street who had a petition before
the council at Its meeting last
Monday night.
Enforcement of Law
Ts Strongly Favored ' -Jl
Members of the council said
Saturday they were strongly in
favor of strict enforcement 6t the
regulation In the traffic code with
respect to speeding, although rhey
did not favor arrest of persons
who happened to drive just a few
miles an hour over the 'legal limit,
especially on through streets.
Strong measures against drivers
who proceed at 40 miles an hour
or faster were recommended.
It was declared that drivers of I
delivery cars and light trucks
have been especially negligent
about observing the speed limit.
Four fast drivers were the vic
tims of Officer Edwards' vigilance
in this respect Saturday: T. H.
Wall, 1705 North Cottage street;
Ralph Bradley, 493 Center;
George Fox, 1531 Bellevue; Dar
win Calfee, 356 North Liberty.
Wall was also charged with pass
ing another motorist In an inter
section, and Calfee with having
no driver's license.
Drivers fined for speeding in
Recorder Mark Poulsen'a court
Saturday were Joe Painter, Ber
nard Kuhn and Harold Goodrich.
Each drew a penalty of 1 5.

Reid, Murdoch Interests to

Possible Pack of Half Mil

Is Estimated
The development of the Reid,
Murdoch cannery at Salem to a
capacity equal to or larger than
any other cannery in the north
west Is forecast from an inspec
tion of the plant now being re
constructed for their operations,
and a discussion with Frank B.
Madden, northwest manager for
the Reid, Murdoch interests. The
ultimate pack will reach perhaps
500,000 cases, the size depending
in large measure upon the supply
of fruits and berries available in
the Salem territory. At the peak
of the canning season from 600
to 1000 women will be employed!
The plant will thus become one of
the major payroll Industries of
Salem. The gross Investment in
the plant will appropriate 1300,
000. Present Improvements
amount to one-half this.
Reid, Murdoch & Co. entered
the northwest field as a packer
of fruits last season, operating
the West Salem cannery under
lease. They packed there 105,000
cases, most of which has been
shipped to the 12 branches of this
firm located over the United
States.
Kings Products Plant

Some months ago the company
purchased the plant of the de

last August the work of recon

progress. All the dehydrating
equipment was scrapped, and the
plant revamped for straight can
ning or preserving of fruits and
berries. Connection with the city
sewer system was made; a new
automatic sprinkling system for
fire protection Is being installed:
a 60,000 gallon water storage
tank on a 100 foot tower has
been erected; the entire interior
has been repainted; Improved

A new departure for a Salem

Reid In a blizzard which they
encountered after flying more
than half the distance. Niemeaew
landed his plane safely at Nula
to, more than 300 miles west et
here, about 100 miles north?!
of Unalakleet.
Planes on Way to
Search for Eielson
The planes which Reid and Nie
menen were flying were two of
three FairchiMs brought north to
engage in the search for Carl Ben
Eielson and Earl Borland, Amer
ican aviators lost November 9,
while flying from Teller, Alaska,
to North Cape, Siberia, where tfc
fur trading ship Nanuk is lock-
in the Ice. The third plane was
cracked up in an attempted take
off here.
Since last Saturday, when Reid
was lost In a blizzard, the w wat
er here and at Nulato was awn
that no attempt could be made to
send a plane Into the air to search
for the missing men. Pilot Frank
Dorbandt made a flight from
Nome last Sunday, however, in
search of Reid. He flew over the
country which Reid was suppose
to have come down in, but coe-
ftrary to expectations, the missing
plane had traveled far to the
south of the regular route '
Nome before coming to earth.
Meanwhile, no progress h:.j
been made for several days In the
EielsonBorland hunt, except by
the use of dog teams. Advert
weather has kept Pilots Joe Cre
sen and Harold Gillam, who are at
the Nanuk, from doing muh
scouting.
Word that Reid had lea
found and that his plane was
capable of flying was greatly wel
comed. If not only relieved ap-
.prehension for his safety but
guaranteed the ue of the cabin
plane for the Eielson-Borland
search.
Reid!s plane was well provWWd
for emergencies. It carried suffi
cient food to sustain the three oc
cupants for a period of five weeks
and the men were equipped with
heavy arctic clothing and sleeping
bags. They also had an ajcoho)
stove. The only fear was that tfie
aviators might be injured. If 'he
plane crashed in landing.
