noon them the- fact that speed
was nxsent la setting actual con

proceed with the; project by units
so that the city's engineers coald

at a time,
- , Engineer 'John Cunningham,
present at the meeting last night,
stated the first request from
FWA. probably would be for more
elaborate plans I to! substantiate
the preliminary cost estimates on
which the city's loan applica
tions hare been I based. The ex
tent of plans to be required be
fore construction: can proceed Is
unknown, be said, since Salem's
Is the first water projects under
PWA allotment in Oregon.
:The engineers, it was Btated at
the 'meeting, probably will first
outline 'plans and ' estimates for
the local distributing system, on
which no information has been
given the PWA. Cunningham told
the. council his firm, from the
appraisal it made for the city in
1930, has as accurate records of
the Oregon Washington Water
Service company's system as the
company, itself has.
l The water company's franchise
to 'operate In Salem in no way
prevents the city from building
a competing system, the city at
torney declared after the meet
ing. He seemed to. feel no ob
stacle would be encountered from
that point.
Finn's Lawyer Here
Has No Statement
' Walter Keyes,: local attorney
for the water company, had no
statement to make pending a
conference with company offi-
A spirit of unanimity in ju
bilation over the million dollar
increase in the PWA allotment
appeared to pervade the council
chamber. At Mayor McKay's sug
gestion, a motion was quickly put
through to send a letter of
thanks to both Senator McNary
and Congressman Mott for their
services in securing . the allot
ment, , Payment of the, engineers for
their preliminary work will be on
an actual cost basis and prob
ably by city warrant Formal em
ployment of engineers to prepare
final plans and specifications and
to supervise the construction was
left to a later date although it
was generally maintained that
Baar Cunningham, by virtue of
the data the firm already pos
sesses, would be best fitted for
. the work. The engineering fee,
Cunningham told the council,
would be around five per cent
f the project's cost, the usual
. remuneration among reliable
firms.
The Increased PWA offer deft
nitely removes the obstacle which
had. apparently thwarted all ef
forts of the city council to take
advantage of the 1, 600,000 al
lotmentobtaining the existing
water system. The Oregon-Wash-
w6iou water service company
had held out for $950,000 for
ineir plant, wnlle PWA had limit
a the city to Issuance of $2,
000.000 in water bonds, $200,000
less than would permit payment
of the company's purchase price
and providing sufficient collateral
for the federal loan.

Fine Collection Indian
Relies and Arrow Heads
Gathered by John Diem
IHDinnS PARLEY
FEDERAL PLANS
By CLARA GIROD
QUINABY, March 8. There
are noDDies ana noDDies. tor
some it is gardening, for some it
is old books, but for John, Diem
much ot 4 8 years has been spent
collecting Indian relics of stone.
Ever since he was a small lad he
has spent his spare time and cash
in gathering a fine collection. He
has at his home here what to most
people these times would be a
small fortune invested in them.
Two large glass covered cases
hold but a small part ot the more
than 600 arrows and spearheads
collected from most of the differ
ent tribes of Indians in the United
States. Arrowheads and spear
heads range in 6ize from a frac
tion less than one-half inch to
nine inches. They are. the usual
colors of black and brownish
flint.
Odd Colors in Flints
There are several unusual col
ored ones of pink, pale green,
blue and a beautiful one chipped
from a sardonyx stone. One man
in West Virginia heard of Diera's
hobby and sent him a perfect
spearhead -and three arrowheads
of creamy white quartz. Mr. Diem
thinks that those he got here in
Oregon show more skilled work
manship than those of any other
state. The poorest comes from Ok
lahoma. One article he prizes is a
metal spearhead dug from an
Aztec Indian burial ground in
Mexico.
Early Devices Found
Some unusual articles he has
are: a stone shuttle about three
inches long used in weaving, a
stone last over which Indian
moccasins were made, stone drills
used to bore holes through their
beads, flesh knives made of stone
used in scraping flesh from ani
mal hides, several stone hammers
of the kind seen in pictures of
cavemen, mortars and pistols
these stone bowls used for grind
ing corn.
His most prized possession Is
a double arrowhead. These are
very uncommon and this one is
the only one he has seen in a
lifetime. They are made together,
both pointing same way with the
point of one worked into tho
shank of the second. Mrs. Fran
ces Ganiard, his sister, has a griddle-like
rock which has been split
in half, making a griddle about
six inches thick, 10 inches wide
and IS inches long. These were
heated and corn bread baked on
them.
Knife Has History
Diem also has a handmade
skinning knife presumably made
by a Hudson Bay trapper. The
knife was found two feet under
ground by Mr. Diem's father when
he was doing some excavating
here in 1868.
The popular sport at that time
was wild boar hunting. The woods
on what is now the old Jack
Painter place harbored quite a
few and John has some tusks and
razor-like toes as trophies of his
latner s marksmansmp w 1 1 h a
muzzle loader.
Mr. Diem now spends much
time at the coast raising blue
berries.

No word In the Indian lan
guage covered the term of "com
munism," and as a result one
fnternreter broke the tenseness
of the conference by requesting
how communism couia oe trans
lated. Paul Bheppard, who was
explaining the land policies In the
measure, put the term in other
words for their accommodation.
Banners of delegates from
Montana, Idaho, Washington,
Oregon and northern California
displayed banners of tribes in
cluding Couer d'Alene, Hoopa
Valley, Grand Ronde, Colville,
Kootenais, Tualip, Flathead, Kal
ispell, Yakima, Nex Perce, Uma
tillam, Siletz, Klamath, Sacra
mento, Tahola and Spokane.
Criticisms ot the act centered
around the fact that while it
would Rive Indians so-called self-
government, they would still be
controlled by department of in
terior officials: that the Indians
were called here to conference
but during the first day they
were snnervised by the "white
man"; and that conditions in lo
cal tribes were such that many
features of the new act were un
workable.
Tribal delegates, who arrived
In fine automobiles, by bus or
by train, represented twenty
councils in the 14 Jurisdictions
in the northwest. All delegates
were being entertained at the
scene ot the conference, the Che
mawa Indian school, where Su
perintendent James Ryan was
hard pressed for a time for sup
plies as the result of a fire last
Saturday which destroyed the
school's commissary.

OF PROMISE ID
Berry growers or general farm
ers who enjoy trying out promis
ing new varieties may get consid
erable aid from a new mlmeo-j
graphed list of new berry var
ieties that show the most promise
for Oregon as the result of pre
liminary tests at the Oregon State
college experiment station. Some
of the varieties listed, such as the
Corvallis and Redheart straw
berries, Lloyd George raspberry
and Yonngberry, are already in
rather wide commercial produc
tion, but are listed as being new
to the general trade compared
with the widely used standard
varieties. The list, prepared by Dr.
W. S. Brown, chief in horticul
ture, is as follows:
Strawberries B 1 a c k m ore,
British Sovereign, Corvallis, Dor
sett, Fairfax, Kanner King, Nar
cissa, Redheart, Royal Sovereign
and Rockhlll (everbearing). Of
these Dorsett, Narcissa and Red
heart are recent introductions by
the U. S. D. A., while Corvallis
was developed by the Oregon ex
periment station.
Red raspberries Chief. Lath
am, Newburgh, Lloyd George and
Viking. The Lloyd George pro
duces very large berries and fruits
in the fall to some extent as well
as in the summer.

Sounds like adult entertain
ment, and it is. It's Noel Coward's
"Design for Living" which Para
mount transferred to the screen
with Fredric March, Gary Cooper,
Miriam Hopkins and Edward Ev
erett Horton in the cast, brilliant
ly directed by Ernst Lubitsch. It
opens today at the Elsinore the
atre. Miss Hopkins becomes the boys'
severest critic, gets a producer to
put on one of March's plays and
gets Cooper an art reputation. As
it eventually must, the situation
gets out of control and it isn't
until Edward Everett Horton
comes into the scene as a villain
ous comedian that the boys put
up a united front before their
joint enemy to win back Miss
Hopkins' love.

Brown learned his difficult part
in Just two weeks, having replaced
Clifford Hurt, who had to leave

A committee named to draw up
a resolution asking for revision of
the duck hunting season to apply
to Marion county conditions con
sists of R. W. Niles, chairman,
Clarence Townsend and Van Wle
der. H. R. Crawford was delegated
a committee of one to ascertain
from the forest service what regu
lations, if any, are to be applied
to the portion of Marion lake
which has been left ontslde the
Santiam primitive area.
The task of enlisting other In
terested organizations throughout
the county in the conservation
movement was delegated to C. B.
Wilson, Townsend and MInler.
The next meeting of the general
committee will be held at the call
of the chairman.
The city manager form ot gov
ernment is growing In public fa
vor while the commission form,
popular between 1910 and 1920,
is on the decline, declared Mayor
Douglas McKay at Thursday's
Salem Lions club luncheon at the
Gray Belle restaurant. In the !
United States there are appoxl
matelv 661 municipalities that I
have tried out the manager sys
tem and of these but 15 have
thereafter rejected, he stated.
The mayor likened the man
ager system proposed for Salem
to the board of directors and
manager appointed by that board
for a large corporation.
Advantages or the manager
system Mayor McKay listed as
economy, city planning, effici
ency, and a better situation for
employes. He averred city em
ployes would be better oft under
a manager system because they
would have to work under not
a committee ot three men, but a
single manager.
LaGrande has had a city man
ager system since 1913, and Ore
gon City since 1925, and both
have shown financial progress in
the city's affairs, the mayor said.
Meeting reported opposition
from organised labor. Mayor Mc
Kay declared that he held state
ments from prominent national
labor leaders in favor of the city
manager plan.
PLAN GET-TOGETHER
The Salem Business Men's
league will hold a get - together
banquet in April to which all local
business men will be invited, it
was decided at a league meeting
at the chamber of commerce Wed

problems will be discussed at the
