Thm OREGON STATESMAN,-Solent," Onflon. Sunday Morning. April 13.' 19(1 vrgztzzz Camp Rumor lied Is Stud : Effects of Proposed ' : Cantpnment Receive Consideration '- MONMOUTH Prospect of the allocation 'of a military canton ment and training camp betweeh Monmouth '. and Corvallis - contin ues to" Intrigue residents of north . ' Benton; and,, south 5 Polk; counties! - Starting as a rumor,' the story -is believed to-havV anchorage in v certain procedures, one "of 'which T" Is" that more . than, on' Oregon -'"site"; including . .this location,- has been iriv?stigated through action of a military board i of ,tjhe. Ninth corps . area .having headquarters at the . Presidio, San . Francisco. The area includes several west ern states, and if the army's presr ent maximum of "about 1,500,000 is increased materially, establish . merit of more than one addition al cantonment fs believed immin ent. . Oregon, with its long sea coast margin, is logically in line for such a placement. Six potential sites ,are said to be under consideration in case a cantonment may be established, so;' Other selective factors , being favorable, the sputh.-Polk-north-Benton local has a probable 16 per cent chance of being selected. State (highway Representatives have been looking over this locale also in recent weeks, quietly gathering-information which may relate -to improvement and chan ges. The old discussion about re routing the west side highway in its course through the city " of Monmouth has been revived apropos the topical interest. Farmers are excited "over the possibility ;that the government might "purchase land up to 65,000 acres for such a military reserva tion. Those . who own good soil are loath to sell, those with less - desirable land are" non-committal, and "those' having hilly and 'oth erwise unprofitable tracts are avid for a transfer. Rural mail carriers are also concerned. This area ' is threaded with-rural' routes, and these spe cific routes will definitely be eliminated if, and when, a can tonment is established ' because army posts have their own post offices for mail receipt and dis tribution. P. M. Schweizer, veteran car rier on route two, Monmouth for nearly 19 years, would lose fully 90 per cent of his Suver-Airlie trek, with about 11 miles left in the Wells section. Harry Kester, carrier on route two, out of Mon mouth, would have about one third of his territory curtailed, comprising part of the Elkins Lewisville and Dallas sectors. Roy Holt, carrier on route one in North Benton county, would have an estimated 50 per cent of his route absorbed in the reserv ation lands. These are the only routes involved, but they are important .o the three carriers. She's a He After Five Years 1- ' H ' . A . ' ySi?-yy A:':i'iM-. ..:;V';:- liii "v "Miss McArdle Albert J.

It appears a complaint had been lodged with a council mem ber some time ago that these pla ces were running until long after midnight at times. Greek war relief matters were deferred pending return of Mayor J. A. Withers, who has been out of the city but who is expected to return the latter part of April. Transient renters in the city are to; be refunded for deposits made in, advance for city water privil eges at such times as refunds are due .them, it was agreed by the council. Some migratory people have moved out owing the city considerable sums for water serv ice, it was reported, hence re quirement that they pay in ad vance, with privilege of reim bursement when due.
