Speculation Rifepver Route
Postwar Salem Silverton Road
. SILVERTON Silverton-Salem' new postwar highway -was
actually felt to take shape this week when surveyors were at work
placing stakes in various farmers' fields and removing trees which
happened to come in their lin of .vision.
Indications are that the Silverton end of the highway would
take off from the Stefen corner
on the west side of the Pudding
River bridge, come in to the south
side of the C Lorenzon farm in
Brush creek district, converge
with the Santiam highway some
wher4 in the neighborhood of the
Harmon - Stadeli corner, swing
north,; through the L. H. Meyr
pasture and Alfred Jensen fields.
Fromfthere it would strike through
the Albin Davis woods andJ A.
Tokstar farm, coming in south f
the Silverton cemetery and cros
sing the present Silverton-Salem
highway somewhere in the neigh
borhood of the Don Hutton home
on McClaine street, crossing Sil
ver ireek immediately south pi
the present Southern Pacific rail
way gbridge and going north to
strike) the Monitor road.
While it is understood that plans
are not definite, it, is noted that
stakes have appearediti fields And
pastures along this route. The sujr
veyoS have been working in this

SEATTLE, Feb. 14-P)- The

age of any trim-lined debutante.
: With the four-engined . bomber,
as with the deb, the close check is
to Insure against any addition of
weight in the wrong places.
The Boeing Aircraft company
told today: how every. 100th plane
is weighed with meticulous care,
before being towed 'out for its first
flight, to make certain the center
of 'gravity falls within a pre
scribed limit. f
" "When engineers design a
plane, explained Berger Ander
son, Boeing weights, unit chief,
"They decide where the center of
gravity must fall in order to in
sure j stability. . in .flight, , In the
completed, airplane,! that point
must be where it was intended to

The gravity center in a Flying
Fortress is approximately one
third back from the leading wing
edge, which is why the heavy
bomb loads are slung just about
there i -
When a plane is loaded for
flight, the gravity center may shift
moderately without interfering
with flight stability, but the shift
must be within limits prescribed
in designing the plane. .

' The Boeing company designed
special scales for the weighing
process, i Three are used. Two are
placed under the wings; the third
just ahead of the ' rear landing
wheel. Jacks from each scale lift
the big plane. The total weight
recorded ion the three scales is the
plane's tonnage. From there a ma
thematician picks up the poundage
to determine the center of gravity.

PORTLAND, Feb; 14 -(fl5)
Spring and summer grazing on

said today.
Conditions on the ranges are
slightly better than last year but
below the 20-year average, the
department said. However, teed
