' ja a mm a Valley and Siletz Firm In volved in Project in Two Counties Timbered Areas of Pacific Coast Range Will Be Tapped, Word WASHINGTON, April 18 (AP) The Oregon Electric rail way today petitioned the inter state commerce commission for permission to build a 2 mile connecting link between that rail road and the Oregon Electric main line. Portland, ore., April is (AP) When the Oregon Electric railway petitioned the interstate commerce commission for per mission to buy the Valley & Silets railroad in Polk and Benton coun ties and to build a mile con necting link between that railroad and the Oregon Electric main line. It opened the fourth expan sion "offensive of the northern lines in Oregon in the last two years. The Oregon Electric seeks to push westward into the timbered area of the coast range. In an application filed but a few weeks ago, the Oregon Elec tric seeks to push southwest from its terminus at Eugene into the heavy timbered Siuslaw valley. In an application filed many months previous but just approv- ed, the Oregon Electric expressed its intent of building east in Linn county up the Santiam river to timber on the east slope of the Cascade range. In an application now being considered by the interstate com merce commission, the Great Northern, one of the parent lines of the Oregon Electric, is seeking to build south from Klamath Falls into California at a cost of several million dollars, there to connect with a proposed extension of the western Pacific and pro vide a second north-and-eouth railroad for the Pacific coast. Consolidation of the Valley and Silets railroad with the Oregon Electric will involve the construe- tion of a branch linajtal the two systems, and a portion of T mis construction, esumaiea w cosi i,guu,wuu, wm oe m aanon oiuui,, as iuc wu uu uviu urvuie io inuepenuence. 1 tX, .17: .7, .7 over this newly acquired line, and that a portion of its operations will be by steam locomotive. In local discussion, the latest move of the Oregon Electric points more definitely than ever before, to the theory that the ultimate goal of the northern lines in addition to its efforts to extend Us lines into California, Involves consummation of the dream of three decades ago for a railroad line across the Cascades with a more or less direct connec tion between Salem and Bend. This would link up the rapidly expanding western Oregon system with the proposed extension to the south by way of Klamath Falls. 1111,000,000 IS I wiflBivn.Tmj imi is I " a a wwa asA4 i (AP) An outlay of 8111.000.000 I Miiait tnr i- . ntAMni. rivers-harbors omnibus bill being I formulated by the house rivers- karhmi mmimliiu tion Monday.

Y., to Newark. N. J., were electrocuted 300 feet above the ground today. Their plane. seeking a landing place, struck a high tension wire. The craft, en veloped in flames, crashed to the ground and was burned. The bodies were removed from the wreckage and identified from an official list as: Count De Lay Vaulx, Mrs. Marie E. Williams, Providence, R. I., A. V. Conklin, New York, and the pilot, John Salway, 37, and married, Albany. The accident occurred at 5:30 p.m. rne plane had lelt Albany at 3 p.m. Rain and Mist Obstruct Vision of Plane's Pilot According to Harry Lehman, a watchman employed by the pub lic service power station, into whose wires the plane crashed, the plane was noticed firing at a low altitude, the pilot evidently searching for a landing place. It was raining and a heavy mist hung over the city. Faltering as it flew over Jour nal Square in the heart of the city the plane barely missed a water tower atop a high building and after circling several times close above the housetops, dropped low er, struck a wire carrying 132,- 000 volts, burst into flames and with all passengers in the cabin, crashed 300 to the ground. All power in Bergen county was cut off. Telephone calls were made for medical aid and the fire department was summoned. The flames died out after consuming the fuselage and the bodies were discovered in the wreckage. The engine of the ship, a four passenger -biplane, was found-riu- feet from the wreckage. jonn Underwood, chief of detectives ex pressed the belief all were dead from electrocution before the ship burst into flames. This conten tion was born out in an official statement. The pilot, though married, leaves no children. During the war he was in the royal air force and had 2,000 flying hours to his credit in all types of planes. He came to the Canadian Colonial lines in 1929 and was an especial ly capable aviator. Goodrich Klbben Murphy, as sistant general traffic manager of Colonial lines, said it was the first time a passenger or pilot of the Canadian Colonial had suffer ed injury while on a scheduled flight since inception of the ser vice. When the plane left Al bany, Murphy said, official weath er reports were that "flyable weather" could be expected dur ing the entire trip.

' M W T i OF Thoren Willard Jailed For Serving Venison at His Mining Camp PORTLAND, Ore., April 18.

U revealed In the 1530 report of the receipts and ex penses of the Oregon-Washing ton Water Service company, now on file with the public service commission. The latest report shows rather slight deviations from the 1920 figures on which previous compu tations of the financial prospects have been based. Net Income $66,251 In Twelve Months Operating revenues in 192$ amounted to $178,800.58, an in crease Of $2199.9 4 over the previ ous year; operating expenditures are reported at $88,381.22, an in crease of $1963.89. This would indicate a greater net Income, which would have been realised except for the fact that taxes were higher hy $2115.66. As a result, the net income was $66,251. SO, which is $1592.36 less than the 1928 operating income The important point in these figures, to the voter who wants to know where the city would get off if it owned and operated the plant, Is this: City Would Escape Payment of Tes The city, not being required un der present laws to pay taxes os the plant, would hare had a net income of $89,524.86. Upon the fixed capital figure of $1,051, 289.38,, the interest charge for the year at 5 per cent, the rate specified as a maximum In the charter amendment now under consideration, would have been $52,564.45. Deducting this figure from the amount of income would leave $36,960.41 to be placed in a sink ing fund for retirement of the principal. Sinking Fond Would Bring in Interest If this amount alone went Into the sinking fund each year, it would require about 29 years to retire the principal; but the sink ing fund is to be Invested in bonds and will draw interest. Computing Its earning power would be laborious and problem atical, but when the sinking fund amounts to half of the principal, the earning will be more than $25,000 a year, and theoretically, the last year It will be over $50, 000. In brief, the earning will nearly cut in two the time re quired for retiring the principal. However, when the city takes 4, over the plant the improvements now under construction will be completed and a part of the cap ital investment, so that Interest will be $60,000 if the bond issue amounts to the $1,200,000 auth orized and the rate is 5 per cent. This would prolong tor several years the retirement of the princi pal.
