One of Washington's Soldiers Lies Buried In St. Paul Cemetery Sons of Revolution Seek Exact Site of Grave to Erect Memorial By JAMES ALLEY Valley Carre pendrat ST. PAUL, Ore. A soldier who fought timler Gen. George Washington in the Revolutionary War is buried in a ?ear forgotten grave in the cemetery of this Korth Marion County community. - The state archives have no record of any Revolutionary War Veteran being buried in Oregon, and it is - believed that the man Interred here may be the only one in the state. The passing of 101 years has blurred even the name of this com' batant of the nation's war for independence. But the Oregon Society of Sons of the American Revolution has learned that his name was cither Cannon or Canning. His given name was William. , Buried in 1854, he lies in an unmarked grave, precise location I which Is unknown. Oregon's Sons of the American Revolution are searching national archives and other records to learn more about Can non. They believe that he fought in the Pennsylvania Con tinehtal lines. After the war, he came to Oregon with the John Jacob Astor expedition and worked at the Astoria trading post. Later he was i blacksmith on Sauvies Island, near Portland, before moving to St. Paul He became justice of the peace here, a position of great honor nd responsibility in that turbulent era. He also was one of the founders of Oregon's provisional government. Col. Evans R. Clieeseman, MilwanVie, is directing the Sons f the Revolution research for more information about the Revolutionary soldier buried here. When date is more complete, probably this summer, the patriotic group will purchase and dedicate a suitable monument in his memory t the cemetery.

"You've been ' in office three years and to this day we have never had an official bill," Cooley declared, and in evident sarcasm told Benson to "advise with your attorneys so you won't request au thority you already have." Under Cooley's prodding, Ben son acknowledged the mil bank feature of the program is not new, and the Department of Agriculture had rejected similar proposals contained in two House bills as recently as last July.

II I Families Flfee; Civil Defense Takes Control By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS More than a half foot of rain in 24 hours Isolated Grants Pass Tuesday and started earthslides that blocked highways and rail lines over a wide rea of South west Oregon. From Northern California into Eastern Washington the Pacific Northwest was plagued by floods and threats of floods. Major rivers, though, stayed is their banks. The heaviest rainfall came at Grants Pass, where 7 inches fell from noon Monday to noon Tues day. It filled irrigation ditches so full they broke their banks; dozens of families were evacuated from their homes; water from a rup tured storm sewer ran nearly a foot deep through the business district. Civil Defease The city and surrounding area promptly was put under control of the Civil Defense Agency in an emergency move ordered by city and county authorities. Families were evacuated from low-lying areas. Grants Pass was isolated for hours with water ot the highways to the south and ear lhl ides across Highway 99 to the north. Two men drowned near Prosser, Wash., when overflow from an irrigation canal trapped them n a discharge tube they were rep'ir ing. It was a flash food if a region where heavy snow also led to a drowning as a snow removal truck backed into a lake. Rivers in Northern Catitor-ia, notably the Klamath, the Rur'hn and the Eel, rose but not te a , critical level. Heavy Damage It was in the Southern Oregon Northern California area that December floods, brought on by heavy rains and melting mountain snow, claimed many uvea and caused millions of dollars in prop erty damage. At Roseburg, Ore., J. T. Pierce, county civil defense co-ordinator. said a repeat of the December flooding might be escaped but h said the situation still was critical. Mountain temperatures dropped and falling snow piled op Instead of feeding the flooding streams. By contrast, temperatures rose in eastern Washington and water overflowed coulees and flooded the towns of Conncll, Lind and Mesa. Water was three feet deep in the Connell business district and soma SO families were evacuated in what Mayor V. G. Sars called the worst flood in his memory. About 20 new homes were reported under water at Mesa. The sewage dis posal plant at Lind was in the middle ot a 40-acre lake. But the water was reported drop ping Tuesday night and most of the danger was expected to bo over by early Wednesday. 2.00 Warned In Washington's Yakima County, Sheriff Bert Gunnj warned 2,000 people living along river and creek banks to be prepared to move swiftly if warm weather continued to send snow melt into the rivers. There was no immediate flood, but he said it could come suddenly. . Southern Oregon's flooding came swiftly late Monday night and early Tuesday. Weeks of uncommonly heavy rains had saturated the earth. When a 2 inch fall came generally over the whole section and several points got more than double that there was no soak-up of the water. It spread out over low pockets and sent rivers and streams surging to brimful. Over Floe4 8ta . But the main streams of Southern Oregon, the Umpqua and the Rogue, spilled only a little over flood stage and there was hope they would handle the continuing rainfall. The Weather Bureau cautioned that rain would be heavy all the rest of the week. But at Grants Pass it slackened sharply and tributary streams be Kan to fall.
