He said Salem paid 65 cents a yard for gravel whe it had access to Min to island before Ferry street was closed. "Now we pay $1.65." he" averred. Alderman atwrigM moved that the city ad .'ertise for bids on its sand and gravel needs for the entire year as -ell as for its estimated needs in cement. The motion prevailed. The matter rose when identical prices were offered for certain gravel on which the city last week sought bids.

The moment was approaching when he was to ap pear on the stage, but he had no night shirt. Was the play to be ruined because of a night shirt?

The play has been advertised on din ner menus and by radio broad cast and newspaper publicity. It is expected that the audience will be .repaid with a pleasant and en tertaining evening.

The layout will be similar to that at White Branch on the McKenzie where the forest service has constructed winter sport equipment for Eu gene enthusiasts. Parka also outlined other ser vices of the government in pro viding camping and recreational facilities for. hikers, campers and sportsmen. Roy Elliott, assistant superin tendant of the Cascade forest, also spoke to the group which consisted of representatives from the Santiam Ski club, the Cheme ketans and the Izaak Walton league. Elliott said the forest service was expanding the re creational services of the forest as the demand Increased.

He said off the floor this re flected on the senate conference committee and indicated they could not conscientiously carry out their duty. As a matter of fact, he asserted, they fought for every senate amendment but two. Glass said he may decline to serve as a conferee and if he de cided otherwise he would not give in to Secretary Ickes, whose po sition that the one-third labor re quirements would halt many state projects was upheld by President Roosevelt. CRIME CONFERENCE E (Continued From Pars I) this was a centralization of au thority In a dangerous manner. The office of the attorney gen eral in the states, he said, was that of adviser to the governor and all state officers, to legisla tors and to district attorneys. The attorney general was in a consid erable degree an officer of the courts. His office should remain independent and elective. He should be answerable to the peo ple and the district attorneys should be answerable to the peo ple of their districts. Only four states have the attorney general appointive, and in one of those. lennessee, he is appointed by the supreme court. The address of Mr. Mondv ed disconcerting to the one who followed, Jnstin Miller, an emis sary from the department of Jus tice at Washington, who was to outline the program more fully leading up to the adoption of the prepared resolutions. So pointed and effective was the address by Moody that the conference declined to adopt the tailored resolutions which later were proposed calling for approv al of the plan to reorganize the state attorney division by remov ing the control from the hands of the people. BLOODHOUND TRAILS THIEF: HE'S CAUGHT On a bloodhound's sensitive nose Wesley Shoverne alias Black, fugitive from the federal transient camp near M:hama today may blame his being in jail serving out a 15-day sentence for larceny. His flight from the camp yesterday morning, with stolen clothing In his possession, ended abruptly when this dog, Hugo, belonging to Captain V. H. McClain ot the . state police, tracked him to his brush covered hiding place a few miles from eamp. Officials at the camp said Sho verne's escape wouldn't have mat tered if he hadn't taken a duffel bag full of clothing that didn't belong to him. The superinten dent, who saw Shoverne leap a fence and run for a canvon. eaiii on. state police when the man re- tused to stop. Twenty-five minutes after Cap tain McClain and Serreant Pn all Clayton, with Hugo, took up Sho verne s xran, the dog came face to face with the fugitive.
