The first meeting of the trl county group is expected to be conducted in Al bany within the next few days. The Initial plans for-the flood control district grew out of a Joint meeting here yesterday be tween the Marlon and Una coun ty courts. The meeting, was called to formulate a program to serve as a defense against the lower Santtam, which threatens, under flood conditions,! to Inundate thousands of acres of some of the most fertile land In the Wfflam ette valley. ' Officials of the two county courts decided to contact Federal Engineer Russell at Eugene to as certain what steps have been tak en there for a similar organiza tion.. Russell informed the local court that he and County Judge Fish would meet with Marlon and Linn county representatives at any time. 1 The menace of the lower San tiam faces both Marlon and Linn counties, where the river threat ens to break over and do Immeas urable damage. Representative farmers from both Marion and Linn counties attended the county court meeting. It is understood the basis of the plan calls for a tri-county organization, repre senting sufficient population to interest either the CWA or the PWA'ln a flood control project of considerable magnitude. WOMEN'S PART 10 POLITICS IS TOPIC Women have a decided part to play in politics, a role that Is increasing in size as affairs of government more and more con cern every citizen. They must take their place in public af fairs, not through a request to the public for support of the "eaker" sex, but because the viewpoint and position of women must be recognized in the for mation of the nation's complex affairs. This view was brought to the Salem Kiwanis club Tues day noon by Mrs. Dorothy McCul lough Lee, senator from Mult nomah county. Mrs. Lee, in an interesting message, traced the larger role women are constantly playing in political life. She said that 25 per cent of legislation she had seen introduced " pertained to school and vitally concerned women. "The female sex must expect no favors in politics.. Usually women find it more difficul tto be elected than men. But once in office, the public will support them if their work is good." she averred. The western states, while lead ers in the movement for women's suffrage, have been less active in placing women in public responsi bility, tho speaker declared. Con necticut, with 120 legislators, has 40 of them women. Woodmen Change to Tuesday Night Members of Camp lit, W. O.

FIGURES SUIT Suit to permit the modernis ing of the Brewer building, at Court and' Liberty streets, now maintained in its present condi tion under terms of the will of Mary Ellen Brewer, was institut ed in circuit court yesterday by Dr. Charles B. Brewer, sole sur viving trustee of the estate. The suit Is- directed against Rufus Holman, state treasurer. Although the suit seeks per mission to improve the building, located in the heart of downtown retail section, it also will pre serve the body of the trust by either remodeling tho structure or selling the property to estab lish a sizeable fund. The trust provision of the will required the building to be kept intact as at tho time of tho death of Mrs. Brewer. The com plaint points- out that the build ing is located at a point of great Importance in the growth of . the city and was subject to heavy inheritance taxes, which, could not bo for seen at the time of the death of Mrs. brewer. The plead ings state tbe property either should be sold, with tho proceeds used to set up a permanent trust fund, or the building remodeled' so that a lung time lease could be given.
