fruitless search for bodies.
At Pescaderoa, SO miles south
of San Francisco, the Richfield
Oil tanker Tamia Ua'lay high on
a reef with 40 of her crew of 41

hovered nearby would be able to
pull the craft off the rocks. Only
one man, Quartermaster Forbes
Copeland, has left the ship. He
was taken off in a breeches buoy

Busted When
Shade Flits
Hardly, It is suspected, did the
Willamette student who "bor
rowed" a lamp shade from the
Spa last night, realize that he
was breaking an bttnor record of
over 30 years standing.
Nevertheless, be left a light
fixture there shadeless, a young
lady who favored his fraternity
ashamed of him, and the man
ager surprised.
For, It was learned last night,
this was the first time in the
long memory of the present man
agement of the popular refresh
ment place that a Willamette
student had exercised the com
mon tradition, that college stu
dents are fond of souvenirs.
Certain student patrons of the
place have, In past times been so
addicted to throwing sugar cubes
about that it has been necessary
to keep the sharp little squares
out of sight when the offenders,
were present; but the malefac
tors were never Willamette folk,
it was declared.
One customer stated he was
Certain the shade would find its
way back home again if the prexy
of that particular fraternity
were informed of the deed.
Tribute was paid to the major
ity of Willamette students, how
ever, when :the Spa management
stated they would say no more
about tn matter, since it was
only a happening of once In so
long a time.

Development of Scenery in

Before Court
A delegation of residents from
the Crooked Finger district near
Abiqua Falls appeared before
the county court yesterday after
noon to request that two more
miles of county road be con
structed into the falls area. This
road, with two miles off the main
road already authorized but n'ot
yet under construction, would
lead virtually up to the falls, and
would open up another scenic
grounds for the county.
Abiqua-Falls, with its approxi
mately 98 feet of drop, is a nicer
waterfall than the -Silver Creek
Falls, according to members of
the delegation. Development of
roads leading to the falls was
strongly urged by the group. The
court made no comment on the
proposal, simply taking it under
advisement. Steve Korb and
James Cully, the latter road pa
trolman, and two other men
from Crooked Finger were In the
delegation.
Propose Extension,
Of Present Road
The proposed road would be
simply an extension of the two
miles already authorized by the
court. The two miles already
agreed upon run Into this dis
