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."

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.

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.

He testified that "bargain or ca

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.
