THURSDAY, MAY 14, 1925 THE CAPITAL JOURNAL, SALEM, OREGON CHANNEL FOR SALEM VESSEL The bucket dredge Montecello lias been unsigned by United States eneineera to clear the channel of the Willamette river between Sa lem and Oregon City. For aevera) days the dredge has been operat ing about two miles below Salem, but today will move farther down stream. It is estimated that about two months will be required to clear the bars as far down as Ore gon City locks. The operation is primarily for the benefit of the Salem Transportation company which navigate the steamer North western between Portland and fca lem. E. B. Thomson, assistant en gineer In the second Portland dis trict. In charge of Major R. T. Coiner, says sediment will be dredged to afford a low water depth of 3 feet. The Northwest ern la a shallow draft carrier, hav ing originally been turned out es pecially for the upper river route and under ordinary conditions the depth is regarded adequate. Though the channel had not been gone over by a dredge for the entire dis tance In about three years, Mr. Thomson says reports are that It generally has been found In good condition. The Montlcello's crew will survey the channel as the dig ger bends down stream. There will remain some channel work to be done between Oregon City and Portland, such as at Jen ning bar, but that la to wait the completion of the upper river op erations, when lover water also will be experienced. The steam er Relief was operated on the up per river for a time last year, she being in the service of the Inland Waters Transportation company j and was followed by the North western. ' The government engineers main tain a statistical check on the movement of freight via that line: based on the shipment aboard when j the steamer passed through the! locks and canal at Oregon City. I Such way business as Is picked up! between the- locks and either end of the route Is not included in the tabulations. A summary of the amount passing thrcugh the locks, between January 1 and May 1 i shows a satisfactory average, it Is said. So long as regular service j Is afforded the shipping public, It! Is expected the government will I provide for annual maintenance of the channel, as was the case In former days of scheduled opera tions.

PAGE THREE FEDERAL AGENT ' Portland, May 14 The govern ment struck a snag yesterday in the trial of Oscar Lund and others charged with rum running, when Mrs. Edna M. McDulin, former special federal prohibition agent. found difficulty In answering ques tions of Assistant United States District Attorney Stearns. She told of meeting Dean Thom as, one of the defendants. Aftor she met Thomas, she saw him near y every day. But as to his tell ing her about bringing in liquor and of his whereabouts on July 4, 1924, the night of his arrest in Warrenton, Ore., she could not recall. Hut after looking at the notes she had kept she said: "Mr. Thomas was silently drunk one night and he made a state ment that he had several hundred cases of liquor coming in Inside of ten days. Ho said he would smile to see the rovernment get him nd they cot him!" Asked regarding her friendship for Thomas, she replied: "I can't see that It is necessary to discuss things that happened since I quit the employment of the government." Stearns asked the direct ques tion whether she and Thomas arc engaged, but Mrs. McDulin prompt ly answerd: "No, we are not." Upon continued Questioning re garding the turn the case had tak en, the witness said: I think lots of him, yes." TO ASSIST IN C. I.

Due to a shortage of funds It will be Impossible to keep Mr. uaguo at Portland during the win ter, and he will not be able to complete his research work.

Insift on ZEROLENE even if it does COST LESS Superstitions don't last long, espe cially when it costs money to believe . in them. For example, the majority of Pacific Coast motorists have long since stopped paying tribute to the superstition that there is something mysteriously "better" about "eastern" motor oils merely because they cost more and are made in the East Experience proves superiority of western lubricants As a matter of fact, the most suitable crude petroleum so far discovered for the manufacture of a motor lubri cant is the naphthenic base crude which this company obtains from Pacific Coast wells. And the most ad vanced refining process is the patented high-vacuum process used exclusively by this company in the man ufacture of Zerolene lubricants. Zerolene is first choice of western motorists Zerolene lubricates more cars in the Pacific Coast States than any other oil made. Six out of the seven trophies offered in the 1924 Los Angeles-Camp Curry i osemite; isconomy Kun were won by Zerolene-lubricated cars. The "anti-western" bogie simply doesn't hold up. Zerolene increases gasoline mileage, reduces upkeep costs and lengthens engine life, in high priced cars and motor trucks alike. Zerolene will do the same thing for your car. Why pay tribute to a superstition? Insist on Zerolene by name. Get the fads! A series of independent and impartial reports showing the experience of large users with Zerolene has been collected in our booklet, "Why Pay Tribute to a Super stition?"
