that the first day of the conven
tion would be given over to a
round of formalities. Noting that
two or three or maybe more days
would elapse before the ti r s t
polling ot delegates, they contend
ed ' much could happen in' that
time. . - .
From Borah and from within
the headquarters of Col. Frank
Knox ot Chicago came concessions
that Landon was the leading can
didate. However, far from . con
ceding that' the battle was over,
Knox tonight headed for the con
vention scene to direct, personally
his campaign for .the nomination.
Vandenberg Confers
With Many Leaders ,
In headquarters of his own.
Senator Vandenberg ot Michigan,
who yesterday counseled against
"bandwagon rush" for any can
didate, ' today spent active hours
In conversation with men from a
dozen states.
Nor was Borah's statement that
he would join no organized move
ment against Landon taken to
mean that he would yield hid posi
tion as a rival candidate.
"My first interest is in the plat
form," said Borah to the ' loyal
group ot Idaho delegates, and fol
lowed this up with a series of
statements. At a press conference
he placed a big "it" in front of
any advancement of -a platform of
his own. He said he would pro-.
pose certain planks "it" he would
be allowed to go before the con
vention personally should they be
turned down by the platform com
mittee.

board of health laboratories may
be obtained at the county health
office, 201 Masonic building, or.
if necessary, a health department
worker will take the sample, he
said.
The eighth case of typhoid was
reported by Dr. Douglas yesterday.
The victim is a man living on the
South 12th street extension a
short distance south of the city
limits. This family also obtains
its water supply from a well,

River's Supply
Here Favored

Quality But Wells to
I Be Cheaper, Held
(Continued from Page 1)
that wells producing one-half to
one million gallons each per day
may be obtained either along the
Willamette river north of Salem
or. a short distance north of Tur
ner, the report says. Mill creek
probably feeds the underground
supply near Turner,' Hill believes.
The well ai-ea north of Salem
would i require a 300-foot pump
ing head and therefore be out of
the question, as would wells from
the district between Stayton and
Turner because of the distance
from Salem, he indicates.
The report estimates the ann
ual costs, based on present water
consumption,, for debt' service,
maintenance and operation of
four possible supply systems,
taking costs ' somewhat higher
than, have been predicted by the
city's engineers for the North
Santiam gravity system and lower
than the city's estimates for a
well system. These estimates Hill
offers as follows: j.
Thlrty-six'inch gravity pipeline
and Stayton island infiltration gal
lery, delivering 16 mjllion gal
lons per day, $65,000; 33-inch
line from Stayton island, 12 mil

wells and pumping plants, 10 mil
lion gallons per day. 145,000;
