SURVEYING FOR EXTENSION OF TWELFTH STREET Market a Road Engineer Scolt, County Engineer Swart and As sistant Roadmaster McGee Friday laid out the points for the survey of the extension of South Twelfth street to the pacific highway as a market road and McGoe will Im mediately make the survey based on the general line3 of the road as approached by the state market en gineer. While a survey of the extension was made a year ago the survey as originally planned was dropped owing to right of way difficulties and Uie fact that the state depart ment-did notlve its approval to uie route ac lata uut. Under the new survey as rough ly outlined both of these difficul ties may be obviated as the road will In the first instance have the sanction of the state department and in the second instance will go on a routing away from the prin cipal objectors to the survey last year, while some right of way matters are to be straightened out it Is believed that no such diffi culties as encountered last year will be met. The road Is considered one of great importance by state highway officials as It will furnish a new cutoff from the south and ma terially lessen traffic over the main routes into the city. It also will be of value as a market road as it will give farmers south a direct en trance into the eastern part of the city with their products and direct access to the cannery in that side of the city. By routing on up Twelfth street to Court there is but one block Jog to reach the Pacific highway north and it also is expected the new road will take considerable through truck traffic off the main highway through Salem. Residents of the district af fected have voted money to assist in the development of the road and a Greater share of the right of way already has besn donated by resi dents along the proposed survey. IRES BLAMED ON RANCHERS Portland. Ore. f.-Pi F. H. Brun dage, assistant district forester In charge cf fire control, who re turned Thursday from a trip through southern Oregon, scored residents nf southern counties be cause of laxity in preventing many forest fires in the Crater, Siskiyou and Umpua forests. Though the season was unusually dry and the forestry department issued many orders against use of fire, Brundage .said that during his inspection trip he found where many ranchers continued to burn brush and slashings and In s?veral cases forest fires were started in thts fashion. Because the normal fire season is over by the end of September, Brundage said, the forestry service. was put to siio.uou expenses in re turning lookouts and rangers to the district. Along the Roosevelt highway I found rich undergrowth destroyed and in many places the timber was fire killed, Brundage said. "These areas were originally set aside by the forest service and the state highway commission because ol their beauty, but as long as resi dents refuse to recognize the danger of fire, the country will continue to lose beauty." CONFESS ROBBERY OF JEWELRY STORE St. Louis f7) Charles Ficklln, ex-convict and HerUbrt Botschon. escaped convict, confesed Thurs day, police announced, that they had held up the H. J.

ORGANIZATIONS ' HOLD MEETING The preliminary meeting of rep resentatives of county organiza tions which contribute to the Marion county health unit fund was held Wednesday night at the Marion hotel for the purpose of establish' ing preliminary contact among the contributing groups and the county health unit officials, and to organ ize a permanent executive commit' tee.

ACTION DELAYED OH BHEITENBUSH ROAD P. J. Brucknyin, owner of Brelt enbush Hot Springs, with his fath er were in Salem Thursday and were told by County Commissioner Porter that special road taxes voted for the district at the last Novem ber election would not be avail able for use on the Breitenbush road as district funds and that the district under the law could vote for furtred funds until November. All special road districts meetings he was toid must be held in No vember. While a special meeting of the district as held recently at which a heavy majority of taxpayers in the district expressed themselves as favorable to making a county road out of the road into the springs, this meeting. Porter said the district attorney had advised the court, could be construed as nothing else than expressing an opinion of the taxpayers without any legally binding effect. It is hoped some plan may be worked out for meeting the offer of the federal government to give over the road as a county road and appropriate money for its graveling and maintenance from government funds for the coming year. WILKINS UNHEARD FROM FOR 8 GAYS New York U The New York American printed Thursday a copy righted dispatch to the Hearst Newspapers from Deception Island saying that no word had been re ceived from Captain Sir Hubert Wllkins for eiht day.?.

' SURVEY SHOWS EATING PLACES ARE SANITARY The next time you are presented with a r:rty plate or spotted drinking glass at a Salem .restau rant, don't let your waitress wipe the offending article with the towel she carries over her arm, warns Batty Cooper, city sanitary insp?c tor. That same towel, states Coop er, may have been used to wipe a grease spot from a counter where soma one has been leaning with filthy coat sleeves, or the towel may have seen service as a general mop -around cloth. Cooper is at present conducting an investigation of the sanitary conditions of all places where food may be bought In Salem. Special emphasis in being placed on the condition of cooking and serving utensils, samples being collected from each place and cultures taken in the county health unit labora tory. The specimens are graded by the number of dirt colonies found on each utensil. Cooper found one place where artcles had more than 600 colonies per measur ing unit, and another place where there were more than 400 colonies per measuring unit. As a whole, Salem eating places are in good condition in regard to sanitation, according to Cooper. The sanitary inspector considers that the major portion of un- cleanliness Is from ignorance, care lessness nad thoughtlessness. Coop er Is instructing the kitchen help ers In the proper method of washing dishes, using a large amount of soapy water which is freshened at frequent intervals, scalding the glasses and other utensils In hot water and draining instead of wiping, them. Other sanitary officers connect ed with the county health unit are engaged at the present time In inspection trips. H, E. Sinks, coun ty sanitary inspector, Is making a survey with the state sanitary in spector, Mr. Duncan. Sinks and Duncan have almost completed their work in the county. J. E. Blinkhorn, county dairy inspector, is helping the state dairy inspector, Mr. Appl?gate, in surveying herds throughout the county. URGE ERNEST DENNY FOR COMMISSIONER Talk has come over here from Siayton that a lUtb movement has been started to get Ernest Dnny of that town Into the race for county commissioner. So far it is understood- that Denny has made no definite answer on the propo sition but is considering the mat ter. Denny has been deputy col lector in that section for a num ber cf years and at one time did some special work in rounding up delinquent dog taxes. In the meantime County Com missioner J. E. Smith has not def initely axseried himself as to wheth er he will be an candidate for, re election. However, it is generally considered around the courthouse and among Ins friends that the commissionsr will be in the race again and will announce himself in plenty of time bet ore the primaries. In fact many of his friends have urged him to announce at once but so far he has held aloof and even declined to discuss the mat ter when questioned about It. POUND ARGUES FOR DRY LAW CHANGE Washington Urgirur that United States commissioners be giv en power to try slight or casual vio lations of the dry laws, Roscoe Pound, of the national law enforce ment commission, asserted Thursday before the houae Judiciary commit tee that crime had increased enor mously in recent years and .that federal court' congestion had been a result. Pound, who appeared with Chair man Wickersham of the commis sion, said a serious condition existed in the federal courts because of the congestion. He testified that "bargain or ca feteria days," where prohibition law violators were tried whaler, ie to clear federal eourt dockets had im paired the dignity of the courts. He added that in consequence th peo ple were losing respect for the courts and for the law. EARNINGS DECREASE New York.

TO ORGANIZE THIRD PARTY OF LIBERALS New York (U A man who com bines the seal of an idealist with the practical mind of a busineaa man, lias outlined to the United Press his plans for taking the best lea turea of both major political partlea and forging around them a new group to be known as the liberal party. In an Interview before he left lor his home In Pittsburgh. Samuel Har den Church, president of the Car negie Institute, elaborated his idea on way "religious dictation' was menacing the government of the United Slates. Church sees the United States as a humiliated nation" Id which the restoration of political, religious and social freedom is vital if the country is to continue along the lines outlined for It by the Iramera of the constitution. "Remember this Idea of the for mation of a liberal party Is only 24 hours old," Church said. "Naturally there are many details that remain to be worked out." Church made his suggestion for the party at a dinner of the Asso ciation Against the Prohibition Amendment Tuesday. "It seems to me," Church said, "that the two major partlea are vir tually agreed on a number of im portant issues such as tariff, busi ness and the promotion of world peace. It Is my idea that the liberal party should adopt everything worth while that la already In toe tenets of present partlea. Then our work will start. We will work for the abo lition of hypocrlcy, fanaticism, cow ardice, of which there is ao much among democrats and republicans. In that sense it will be a clear, clean break away from the present party system." . STORMS DELAY WIRE REMOVAL Severe winter conditions In the district have prevented the tele phone company from carrying out its pledge to remove wires from the immediate vicinity of the airport, C. C. Alter, manager, said Thurs day. The company had promised to remove the obstructing poles and wires In the fall and asked for an extension until the first of the year. The storm made it neces sary to send every man into the field and open up isolated com munities and restore communica tion, Aller said. With the season opening, Lee TJ. Eyerly, superintendent of the air port, is anxious for the wires to be removed as they constitute a great hazzard for visiting pilots and all planes landing and taking off from the field. The danger does not lie so much with local men and others who are familiar with the details of the field and adjacent territory, but strangers to the field need Uie protection afforded by lines carried in conduits. The pow er company has alto promised co operation in the removal of their lines. FRED W. BRANDT OF PEDEE PASSES Dallas Fred W.
