OREGON PAGE SEVEN FLOOD DAMAGE LAID TO BRIDGE BY COMMMITEE Damage caused by the overflow ot North Mill creek at the site of the new uncompleted North Winter street bridge will cost the city $310 if all the damage claims submitted to the city council meeting Monday night are allowed. The six property owners involved had stated, according to Chairman Dancy ot the bridge committee, that they do not want to Impose unreas onable claims against the city but, that, in addition to the amounts submited by them they want assur ance that the overflow will not occur again. To forestall a repetition of this overflow the bridge committee rec ommended that 48-inch pipes be laid on both sides of the creek to provide additional passage way for hinh water. The recent overflow was caused by obstruction of the creek while the construction ol tne bridge was in progress, but the bridge com mittee believes that with all ob struction removed the bridge will not afford sufficient clearance for high water, unless the pipes are in stalled. The committees recommen. dation was adopted. The high water of this winter was also almost to a level with the deck of the North Cottage street bridge. As to whether that bridge would have afforded enough clearance had the water not been blocked at the Winter street bridge. Chairman Dancy said that was a question that would have to be answered by the actual experience of high water. The residents claiming damages lost shrubs, flowers, portions of lawns, and one ot them, F. Ethel Lan had over three feet of water In her basement, which washed ner wood from the basement. The claimants and the amounts asked by each are: P. Ethel Lau, $65; W. F. Pooiman, $25: P. A. Elker $100; Mrs. L. C. Farmer. $75: N. C. Kafourv. $20: H. C. Eplcy, $25. It was said that If the city re sorted to dredging the creek to give a free flow of water, dredging would be necessary every year.

Mor row returns to his post here In the spring he will find, It is expected, that the completion of his work will center on the two remaining Issues between the United States and Mex ico. International debts and the land expropriation problem. There is hope that some proress towards the solution of the debt matter may be made in New York and Washington during the ambas sador's absence In London wnere he is to be a delegate ot the naval i conference. I Strictly speaking, the United States and Ambassador Morrow are not directly interested in the matter of Mexico's obligations to foreign credlttors. However, since the recovery ot the country in a financial sense is entirely depend ent on the eeneral settlement, the ambassador has made this one of his principal objects of study dur in the two years he has been in this caplttal. It may be regarded as certain that any agreement which can be negotiated through the extra-official efforts of Morrow will be wel comed by the International Com mittee of Bankers and the foreign creditors of Mexico as a whole. Few Women Qualify For Foreign Service Washington J") Few wo men have made the grade for government foreign service de spite the fact it was seven years avo that a woman blaz ed the trail into this firld.

(To be continued) TRAFFIC PROBLEM ACUTE FOR ROME Rome (IP) Th traffic problem In Rome has arrived at the point where something must be done and the municipal government has decided to remove all the trolley lines from the center of the city and to re place them by bus lines. Work has already been started on this in some sections. Just how it is all going to work out, no one is as yet competent to Judge. Rome has a traffic problem all Its own. The streets being of medieval layout are naturally nar row and were designed for alow moving vehicles such as used to traverse the city through the mid dle ages. The coming of heavy motor traffic has increased the nroblem. Great congestion is everywhere evident." especially inside the trol ley cars. Various plans and pro jects have been drawn up lnclud hut one which is designed to give the Eternal City a subway. Much widening of streets has been done and attempts have been made to work out a system of one-way streets but these' have only been half-wav measures. Besides, horse cabs are still in use In Rome so that oftentimes a horse cab will dictate the speed of the traffic, holding up a long line of motor-cars. The traffic regula tions have tried to ellminlate this Inconvenience as much as possible by prohibiting horse-drawn vehicles the use of the main thoroughfares during the rush hours. COSTLr DUTY SKIP Woking. England (U Sir Thomas Inskip, attorney-general in the late conservative government, has been fined 15 shillings for driving without a motor license. His old one ex pired in August, and he "skipped" the dutv of renewing It. held by persons in Europe and the United States. Besides this sum, there Is a tre mendous total of claims. Commis sions from Spain, Germany, Italy, the United States and Enjiana are now attempting to settle In a gen eral way the amounts due to na tionals of these countries for prop erty and personal damages Incurred In the various revolutions. J. Rueben Clark. Jr., former un- der -secretary of state In Washing ton, and Morrow's chief aide in the petroleum agreement negotia tion's, is at present In the embassy In Mexico concentrating on the agrarian matter. Possibly by the time the ambassador returns, Clark will have worked out some tentative plans for submission to the Mexican government whereby in the future such lands as are taken will be paid for promptly. To date, 15,000,000 acres have been seised. Of this amount, 1,750,000 belong. ed to foreigners of which United States citizens lost 400.000 acres. One houndred and seventy-four claims for expropriations have been filed by Americans lately, seizures of United States citizen's property have considerably diminished. MASSE V TO LEAVE Amity Virgil Massey, who has been 111 here for the last two weeks, has regained his health and Is re turning to his home in Castle Rock. Wash. Massey was formerly en gaged In the practice of law at Woodburn and a few years ago served as city attorney at tliat place. Sydney, N. S. W. (IP) A company is being formed to provide a scheme of land settlement lor lads coming from England. It will have the title, Little Broth er Farm Settlement, Ltd., and the prospectus has been issued. The company will acquire land within a reasonable distance of markets, suitable as a group settlement for Intense culture, upon which Little Brothers who have reached the age of 21 years and have keen in the Commonwealth lor not less man three years, and are in possession of banking credit of not less than 200 pounds, may oe fettled under conditions to be determined by the board of management. The scheme provides for the mar keting or vegetables, poultry, pigs, etc. Land acquired by gift or pur chase will be divided into suitable farmlets up to 10 acres. No divi dends exceeding six per cent will be paid, RUSSIANS BUY SHEEP TO REBUILD FLOCKS Sydney. N. S. W. (IP) Just before the Federal Ministry decided on pro hibition of the export of stud meri no sheep from Australia, the Tex tile Import company, a Russian trading enterprise, purchased 8000 sheep from Australian owners for shipment to Russia. The shipment was the largest ever sent from Aus tails to Russia. The sheep were taken on board the Nor wegian motor-ship Thalatta at Syd ney and carried to a port In the Black Sea. Late last year 200 merinos ship ped at Sydney were landed at Nov orossisk, a Black Sea port. Thence they were taken by rail to country believed to be suitable for sheep breeding many hundreds of miles In the Interior of Russia. Tne-Textile Import company has Its headquart ere In Russia and has been operat ing in Australia since 127, princi pally as woolbuyers. London (IP A special committee representr.tlve ol all English parties is now at work to consider the ques tion of ministerial salaries. , The committee's work is expected to re sult In an Increased wage lor Eng land's mmisters. Nine years ago a similar ccmmlt mlttee recommended that, apart from the Lord Chancellor who re ceives 10.000 sterling a year, the scale for ministers should be: 12 at 5,000 sterling, six at 2,000 sterling 5,000 sterling, four at 3.000 sterling, six at 2.000 streling and three at 1,- 000 sterling. The report was adopted making ministerial salaries total 124,00 sterling annually. Ministers of successive govern ments find that the salaries paid do not cover expenses. Officials at Whitehall say that It is notorious that most Prime Ministers of this century have left oflice poorer than they entered it. The case of Ramsay MacDonald is a common one being referred to these days. He receives 5,000 sterling a year. This Is brought down to 3, 500 sterling by Income tax and super tax. His income Is less than 70 sterling a week. Out of this amount he has to entertain, ana pay for the upkeep of 10 Downing street. Luncheons, dinners and receptions which are necessary take a port of this weekly income. All hospitality extended by him is not paid for by the government hospitality commit tee. Cabinet officials - point out tne fact that living costs more now than it did formerly and that there is an increased demand on public servants In high offices. London (IP Four centuries of time and the finest existing ex amples of Tudor grandeur will peer down at the delegates of tne great naval nations of the world when they convene at St. Jams' Palace this month for the Five Power Con ference to discuss naval llmtlation. By curious coincidence the great conference will begin Just 400 years after Henry VIII began to build the "magnificent and goodly house" of St. James' palace still remains the were prepared by Thomas Crom well, whose namesake, a little later, was to figure so prominently In the affairs of the Palace. Notwithstanding the ravages of time, tires and unfriendly climate St. Jame's palace still remains the "mazniflcent and goodly hourse." Its battlements and towers almost-living symbols of another age, another spirit, another era in tne aiiairs oi men. . To reach the conference room the delegates of the naval nations will have to pass through Friary court, an outdoor court where for centur ies tall guardsmen have stood at attention a generations ol kings and queens and royal princes passed in and out. To reach the- floor where the con ference roora is located the dele gates will use. the main stairway, de signed by the great Sir Christopher Wren and subsequently early in toe Eighteenth Century, altered by Wil liam Kent. Then they will pass thru the Tapestry Room, entirely cov ered with priceless tapestries espec ially made for Charles I, illustrating the armours of Venus and Mars, and bearing the monarch's monograms. This room contains a magnificent fire place. An Interesting feature of this fireplace Is the cipher H and A (Henry and Anne), Joined 'by a true lover's knot. On the right, probably carved out later, is the lone initial H. Then they will enter the confer ence room itself, known to history as Queen Anne's Drawing ' Room, one of the most imposing rooms hi all England. The color scheme Is soft red. The floor Is entirely cov ered by a red, figured carpet; the walls are covered with warm-red silk ot beautiful, simple design. The room Is about 150 feet long, 50 feet wide. At one end stands a fine marble fireplace of classical design, believed to have been done by Sir Christopher Wren. The head of Medusa is In the center ot the piece. MAN LOSES FORTUNE liS SANDHILL SALE Aberdeen, Wash, (IP) Failure to pick the right kind of business when he found a huge bluff of sand on his lands cost O. H. Labor, Aberdeen machlnest, a fortune. Two years ago Labor purchased a tract of land. He decided to utilise a huge bluff of sand on the estate and went Into the filling business. Hundreds of lots were filled with the sand. Recently a party of Tacoma foundrymen, viewing the property. discovered that the sand used in filling the lots was a high grade molding sand and was worth a for tune. HOT DOG MAYOR WANTS DALLAS FOR COMMONERS MISSOURIAN 118 HAS SIMPLEST LIFE FORMULA Poplar Bluff.' Mo. (IP) "Uncle Tommy" Kemp likes to remember when women used "to wear dresses."

Ordering "free days" at city swuaw ming pools during the summer Ho the plain people can get their Sat-, urday night bath." Dallas, Texas (IP) Mayor J. Wad dy Tate would make Dallas a meeca for the plain people, hewers ol wood and drawers of water. Wearers of the soup and fish run second In his official derby. His heart beats in sympathy with that under the blue shirt, and to the tongue versed In lore of the labor ing classes he lends the most at tentive ear. Since be swept Into the office of chief executive ot Dallas on a "hot dog platform" some nine months ago he has exerted a powerful in fluence toward his ideal. "I'm for anything that suits the plain people, and whatever will help them is going over in this town 11 I have my say," he declared. Tate's note of democracy rings out In the Highland Park annexa tion controversy, ranging about an elite suburban district. "It It can come in Just as any other section, It Is welcome. But It it expects special favors tor Its aristocracy stay out," Tate vehe- lfled to remtnesce as he is looking for ward to celebrating his llvtn birthday next September.

"In those days the townsfolk came out and bought what they wanted. Turkeys, tor Instance, sold for 50 cents each; chickens sold for 15 cents or so; and other produce was priced in proportion. Even with the low prices tanners were well fixed, had plenty of clothing and lood." How well the hot dog platform has been adhered to since it car ried Tate to the mayorallty Is at tested by the following of his many blue shirt" precedent-breakers: Holding an Inaugural ball "First time a mayor in the United States did it, I guess, and nobody but a few from Highland Park crashed the gate," he declared. Ordering removal ot spikes from railings around the city hall "So the people to whom the hall belongs can sit on them and rest."
