He added that the court will not! swerve from that routing of the . road project unless representation Is made by Silverton city council for a change proposed by Silvertont i planning commission. That would have kept the road on the north side of the tracks and taken It into the city across the James, street ; bridge. - ' ' : The route now slated for action would move the grade crossing a Quarter mile east of its present lo cation and provide a less danger ous crossing, without present sharp curves. ' . .- - : oince six small parcels or land needed for right-of-way have not been secured through negotiation, the-court has appointed viewers who will make an appraisal of the property. The procedure is under s a form known as improvement by resolution, rather than by condem nation. The viewers, C. W. Bartlett, Wil liam Goodwin and Theodore NeK son, all of Salem, are to report by August 17, but Murphy said work would not be held up that long.' He said it could proceed by virtue of a court resolution already issued, showing intention to make the changes. The report will appraise the properties as to remunerationTdue for loss of land, as well as bene fits and damages to the property because of the road. It will be read twice in open court, according to the district attorney, tit the own ers have not appealed the apprais al to circuit court within 20 days after the second reading, they are sent payments according to the appraised xigures. - Students Due At Denver Meet Five high school students will represent their respective schools and Oregon at the 14th annual conference of the National Associ atiorr of Student Councils to be - held In Denver, Colo., June 19 to . 22. inclusive. .J'.

Letter to Ask Flegel to Define Plan to Revise County Lines A letter' was being drafted here Monday asking State Senator Austin Flegel, Portland, democratic candidate for governor, to ad vise the voters specifically what county boundaries he would elimi nate in reducing the number of county governments as suggested by him in an address before the American Federation of Labor con vention at LaGrande Sunday. It . was recalled here Monday that such a move previously was suggested in Oregon on several occasions but never reached the floor of the legislature or the Voters. Citizens of most counties in cluded in the proposed change expressed themselves as opposed to the suggestion, ,The argument was advanced that little money could be saved the taxpayer because of long distances many of them would have to travel in reaching the county seats. I Flegel particularly will be asked whether he favors eliminating Multnomah county lines and merging that county with Clack amas or one or more counties ad joining on the west, i The letter' was expected to reach Flegel later in the week with request for an immediate re ply. The letter will come from persons other than state officials, i Marion county officials, at the time of the previous agitation, were strenuously opposed to elim ination of the Marion county boundaries and substitution of a district including two or more Willamette valley counties. i The tulip was introduced into Holland from the Mediterranean area some 400 years ago.

Eisenhower, saidr today that Russia is not the sole cause of to day's world crisis.

"A de pression," he explained, "would be catastrope in our foreign rela tions. The communists have been proclaiming to the world that 'the inner defects of our system make such a depression inevitable. Kirk was here to speak before the chamber of commerce.
