    Work Started,
Oh North Road
Eugene, McMinnville
Firms Get Contract
Alter Long Delay
MONMOUTH Preliminary
work has started oh improvements
authorized by the state highway
commission lor grading and re'
location of highway, 99W north
of .Camp Adair into Monmouth.
On . completion this will 'provide
a 22 foot bituminous macadam
pavement with S foot shoulders
for approximately 10 miles, and
will include . a new bridge over
the Luckiamute river and an un
derpass to. cut under the, Valley
& Siletz railroad, the latter about
five-eights of a mile east of the
present highway route.
After months of unsuccessful
bidding;, contracts have been let
to E. C Hall and J. C Compton,
McMinnville and Eugene con
tractors, and to Ball, Compton
and McNutt Bros., same address.
Starting a little north of the
Cmuii mnat.rnoH Intersection, the
- new highway location will go
straight through the A. F. Elkins
and Sons farm, passing east of
- two new houses built by Harold
and Melvin Elkins, and east of
the A. F. Elkins home, east of
Roy M. Miller's berry fields and
east of the William Wiest farm
home. Here the new grade will
avoid the old curves skirting the
timbered east slope of Wheeler
hill, and have, level expanse till
it approaches - the Luckiamute
river.
The '' Parker county road run
ning east and west, and for a
space parallel to the Valley &
Siletz, will, it is understood, be
relocated at its west end some
50 to 75 yards south in connec
tion with the engineering pro
gram of leveling, grading and fill
construction required for the
bridge and underpass. A hill will
be leveled to. make a long fill. ...
Continuing north, the newly
relocated highway will parallel
the . present highway route almost
to the cemetery hill south of Mon
mouth when it will swing slight
ly west to better follow slope con
formation, then continue straight
northeast to hook up with the
smith nrt of East street here -in
town.

Salem. Oregon, Sunday
Returned Indian
Tells of Long Journe
, By MRS. J. JUDD' v '
The white man is no longer a
god to the Asiatic races and his
domination of them is over in the
opinion of Miss Edna Holder, who
has just returned to the United
States from India.
She has been at her. home in
the Liberty district for several
days and has now gone to Olym
pia, Wash., for a few days.
Miss Holder has been a mis
sionary In India, serving under
the Methodist Foreign Mission
society, and was among the
United States natloals who left
India at the suggestion : of the
US government officials. She
, was aboard a US ship which
carried 1500 passengers,- mostly
United States nationals of whom
about 500 were missionaries and
their families who were evacu
ated from Bormaat the time
of the Japanese invasion.
In their infiltration of Burma,
Miss .Holder said, the Japanese
sold large .'stocks of t bicycles to'
"dealers" scattered throughout'
the country. Then when the'
invasion came these stocks 'were
ready for immediate use in
transporting the troops.
The defense of India rests in
the hands of Mahatrha 'Ghandi,
Miss Holder believes. So much
depends on him because he' is able
to influence the lower classes. If
he chooses to incite them to mass
civil disobedience the defense of
India will be greatly hampered
or endangered.
The more enducated people of
India are in favor of cooperating
with the British, Miss Holder said.
These people realize that in spite
of past broken promises India is
still better off under British rule
than it would be under Japanese
domination. They are willing to
fight for India's defense and set
tle the independence question aft
er the war. Ghandi's attitude is
very unrealistic and unequal' to
the situation facing India now,
in the opinion of the Oregon
woman.
The ignorance and gullibility of
the lower classes is indicated when
Miss Holder told how many of
the millions who would follow
Ghandi do not even know there is
war. . When she told some of these
people about it they said, "Why
don't you tell Hitler to stop" mak
ing war, he would listen -to you,"
in childish unrealization of what it
is all about.
- Speaking of the negotiations
with Sir Stafford Cripps she said
the people remember too dearly
past promises for independence.
Strongest objections were to the
points dealing separate states any
of which could secede later. None
of the people involved were will
ing to leave their cities and go into
these states as proposed.
That no Indians were put on the
defense committee was also a dis
puted point as is also the fact
that Britain still controls 70 per
cent of the India's finances
The war has touched India
only in the creation of scarcities -and
high prices. Kaffir - corn,
the main staple food, has don
bled in price, kerosene which
did cost 60 cents, now costs $3,
sugar is high, paper hard to get
and ink scarce, the Oregon
woman reported.
Miss Holder is home on her
third furlough in 16 years
spent in foreign mission work.
She was home last in 1936 and
returned to her work in the
girls school in Puntamba.
The voyage home was inter
esting and while she would not
have missed it she is anxious
to repeat It A constant tense- .
ness on board was felt by the
passengers because of subma
rine danger bat in spite of this
there were many humorous .oc
currences and many friendships,
were formed.
Because of secrecy regarding
the trip the ship was referred
to as SS Rum or or the SS
' Measles since 84 cases developed
among the passengers.
A group of Chinese flying cadets
coming to the United States' for
further training were among, the
passengers. Their officer told Miss
Holder , "the ship would not be
sunk because' there, are so many
missionaries praying on board, and
so many people on land praying
for its safety." v-
t His faith" was justified, ships
were sunk which were just before
them and others 'which followed.
Their ship sailed from Capetown
on Thursday and one was reported
sunk on Saturday ' and two on
Monday.
Complete blackout was observed
on board ship from sunset to sun
rise, a. destroyer escort in danger
zones and for three days out of
New ; York an airplane . escort
Their ship took on survivors of a
torpedoed ship at Bermuda and
brought them to New York.
.P.. C Benjamin . Bakram, a
Christian 1 Indian, who L visited ' in
Salem two years ago, is well, busy
and doing much good, the former
Liberty resident reports.- He was
here - while in - the . United States
to represent India - at the church
congress in Atlantic Caty -: He is
now pastor of the church in Pun
tamba, has charge of the grade
schools and is the member . of
various church boards. He is prin

While at home for the duration-
Miss Holder will attend college
for postgraduate work. Study of
home economics, agriculture, man
agement and budget control will
be her special aim.
India has improved agricultural
ly. Many people have learned to
read and now are able to read the
Bible, Miss-Holder said. "Chris
tian youth is coming to the fore.
The church must take the place
of the mission and young Indian
leaders like Mr. Balaram are able
to help the people more easily, and
without the resistance encountered
by the whites. The Indian believes
the white man will, be his brother
but not his boss."
The rise .in the conditions in
India are resulting in a large de
gree from railroads and other in
stitutions put in iby the. British.
Before coming west Miss Hol
der went to Niagara Falls and
visited friends in Michigan. She
was a guest at the home of her
brother, Clarence Holder and has
gone to visit her sister, Mrs. Jo
seph Pierre, near Olympia, Wash.

Water Rates
Are Protested
MONMOUTHA number of lo
cal residents have become agitated
about new water charges imposed
by the city council and mayor
which affect individual apart
ments and cottages for rent
Formerly water charges have
been allocated here to one house
holder, irrespective of : the num
ber of apartments, he might have
rented in a dwelling, or group of
cottages. : The new council ruling
implies that charges for individ-
Lual apartments. are to be separate.
Water ' charges . are considered
high In Monmouth, $2 per month
being the "minimum. However,
the city is considerably in debt
for its water system and this
means was taken to retire the indebtedness.
