This could be accomplished only by reducing the present tenta tive allocations for the South San tiam highway out of Albany and the Willamette out of Eugene with re sultant delay of these two projects. Out of Bend the two Santiam roads and the McKenzie use the same route as far as Sisters and from Sisters to the Summit, the two Santiam roads are one road. Juat weat of the sum mit, the North Snntiam swings north along the high ridge nearly 15 miles and comes down to the Willamette valley through Detroit. On the east side grading has been completed to the summit. On the west side, about 15 miles of grading Ib needed on both routes. On the Willamette eaat side, grading has been completed to Odell lake and on the west side to ! point about three miles up Bait creek. 8a lem people argue that the North San tiam will replace the old Hogg railway which was abandoned In the '80's after a few miles of grade bad been bnilt near the summit.

Brilliant novely embraces the rhythmic song and dluloguo of "Mel ody Cruise." Four tuneful melodies with clever lyrics form part of thc story without upsetting the continu' ity.

In other words, this Is Mddie'a annual screen aong-nnd-dunce comedy.

Allen Jcnkina and Frauk McHugh, two of Hollywood's best, comedians, are teamed in the muriier mystery, "Tomorrow at Seven," closing Friday at the Hex theater. There have been better murder mysteries shown on the screen, but you'll look a long time be fore you'll find moro hilarious comedy than that furnished by McHugh and Jenkins as a pair of dumb "dicks" trying to solve the identity of the "Black Ace." The film is well acted by nil concerned, with Chester Morris and Vivienne Osborne in tho starring roles, but the two comics steal the show. The picture Is thoroughly en tertaining, and would mnko a good program picture without the comed ians, but with them it becomes one of the most pleasing bits of film fare offered hero in ninny a day. Also on tho bill is Harry Lnngdon, famed comedian of the silent days, making his comeback: in a short comedy. It's good, too.
