: Effects of Proposed '

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.

Some Cars make you do a lot of gear
shifting because they haven't the
power to handle tough jobs in "high".
Some cars shift for you . . . and
dictate the whole thing ... shift when
a mechanical device decides it's best
for you!
But a Chrysler with Fluid Drive
and Vacamatic transmission does what
you want when you want it!
Your own judgment will
tell you very clearly that
Chrysler's Spitfire engine

practically anything inj "high". But if
you want to shift, you gave this magnif
