Manazer Madden escorted
newspaper representatives

nresent it is chiefly an empty
structure, but several carloads of j
new and modern machinery are
now on the way for installation.
T3rbld receiving platform of the
King plant . is to be used as be

fire started about five o'clock.
With Its city water Bystein. fro

formed by men, women and chil

virtually at the mercy of the
flames until the fire boat arrived
and prevented them from sweep

other valuable modern struc

been started by someone thaw

The two men, Daniel Marra

poor visibility, to have lost their
bearings. They took off from Far

same responsibility for the Breit
enbush road.
Gates-Breitenbash
Road Held Important
Development of the road from
Gates to Breitenbnsh Springs Is
paramount with the welfare of the
county even if the South Santlam
road, is completed before the road
from Detroit across the summit.
It has been pointed out by those
close to matters regarding the
construction of the roads that
final development of either route
would in the end help Salem.
It Is admitted that the route
from Detroit to Sisters has the
advantage of the better grade but
it is also pointed out that the
route from Lebanon has priority.
It is not the question as to which
road will help Salem the more but
the actual development of the
road across the mountains is the
object to be attained.
Silverton Kou'. Sfn
As Possible Thrrut
Should the South Santlam
highway be cc ipleted. all traffic
to tne- north will go through
Salem and all traffic from north
erly points via the Santiam high
way would also go through Salem.
But If the North Santiam road Is
constructed first; Salem may be
second choice to northbound traf
fic inasmuch as Silverton will
make a strong bid with a propos
ed direct route to Portland which
will undoubtedly tempt traffic
that way.
These points as well as several
hundred others will be brought
out at the meeting to be held here
next week.

Associated Press Staff Writer
S. S. GEORGE WASHINGTON.
At Sea, Jan. 11. (AP Recon
ciliation of the work of the Lon
don parley with the disarmament
plans of the League of Nations
appeared today to the American
delegation on thi9 vessel, ten days
before the opening of the meeting,
one of the outstanding questions
with which the conference will
have to deal in its early sessions.
While America enters the con
ference regarding the possible
eventual agreement as binding
without recourse to any other or
ganization, the American dele
gates will be prepared to discuss
the attitude of others that such
an agreement sjbould be linked
with the work of the league as
far as they are concerned.
It was learned on the highest
authority that Secretary of State
Henry L. Stimson was ready to
agree that the results of the con
ference should be turned over to
the preparatory disarmament
commission of the league as a
step in furthering the commis
sion's work on the question of
. 'Continued from Iage 1.)
With the executive department
and the state highway commis
sion working in complete har-
! mony. the late governor later ap-
! peared before a number of civic
organizations and requested
their support, in virtually every
instance, the organizations before
which the late governor appeared
adopted resolutions pledging
their cooperation.
Among the most ardent sup
porters of the late governor's
plan was the League of Oregon
Cities, which comprises the offi
cials of virtually every munici
pality in the state. At a meet
ing of this organization held in
Salem a few months ago, the late
governor gave an address in
which he .called their attention
to the vanishing timber tracts and
the necessity for immediate ac
tion. He stressed the importance
of the tourist business which, be
raid, would be gelded to a large
extent by the attractions Oregon
has to offer.
Following a brief discussion of
the late governor's proposal a re
solution was adopted by the
i league in which the members
gave assurance of hearty support
to the plan. Promises of cooper-
ation also were received from
I many other sources.
