BOB HENDRICKS
MENTIONED FOR
MAYOR OF CITY
There was a possbiillty Friday
that R. J. Hendricks, former editor
and publisher of the Statesman,
and who is Dow census enumerator
lor this district, wetild enter the
contest for the mayoralty of Salem.
When questioned about It Mr.
Hendricks said that quite a number
of people had broached the matter
to him. He said he was not in
clined to be a candidate, and would
not want to be unless there was a
general sentiment In the commun
ity favoring his entering the race.
He declared that under no circum
stance would be go In as a factional
candidate, and that -tf - he were
mayor he would try to be a mayor
for all the people.
"It Is time." he said, "for city
officialdom to get away from small
stuff and factionalism and begin
woiklng together for the general
good. As for Ui3 water system I
think the city ought to buy it and
quit talking about it."
He said he favored a change In
the system of city government, and
was inclined to favor some man
agerial form.
He emphasized that he had given
little thought to the matter of run
ning for mayor, and that the pos
sibility had originated in the minds
of others. He would have little
time to give to a campaign, he said.
It was rumored Friday that
neither 8. E. Purvlne nor B. B.
Herrick would be candidates for
re-election as alderman. Purvine
said he had not yet decided and
that It would depend largely on
who elsa enters the race in his
ward. Mr. Herrick could not be
located.
EYERLYTOTEST
NEW PLANE HERE
SUNDAY HE SAYS
Plylngr tests of the new Lee Mon
oplane No. 4, recently completed
by Lee V. Eyerly, president of the
Eyerly Aircraft corporation, will "be
made Sunday at the Saterrr 'immltf
cipal airport, Eyerly announced Fri
day. The new ahip, the fourth of a
design worked out by Eyeriy em
bodying the soundest known prin
ciples in aircraft construction, has
followed the same ireiaerai lines of
his previous models, but includes
some new features intended to add
greater safety. .in air navigation as
weil as ground contacts.
Some increase in scale, particu
larly wingspread and fuselage di
mensions was made, and structural
strength was greatly increased by
using welded chromium steel tubing
tested to 150,000 pounds per square
inch resistance.
A newly p3rfected Eyerly landing
Sear has also been added for great
er comfort and safety in landings
and take-offs.
The new craft Is powered with a
Siemens-Halsky seven -cylinder ra
dial motor, of 100 horsepower ca
pacity. While speed of the ship
will net be definitely known until
tried out under actual flying con
ditions, Eyerly expects a maximum
speed of at least 115 miles p?r
hour, and a cruising eed of 90 to
100 miles p3r hour.
Test flights have been held up
pending arrival of magneto parts
for the motor, which is of German
make. However, adjustments have
been made which Eyerly says will
permit him to go ahead with the
test Sunday.
The afternoon hours should prove
best for the trials, he said.

PLOW CLEARING
ROAD OF SLIDE
IN FINE SHAPE
"The bulldozer snow plow clean
ing the debris from th slide on the
Breitenbush road was a revelation
to us," said County Engineer Swart
in commenting on the visit of him
self and other county and federal
forest officials to that section ol
the country tills week where the
new district plow was put on ths
task of clearing the road Into the
springs from a heavy slide.
'Ergineer Flynn of the forest
service and myself figured that the
plow cleared the road of over 100
cubie yards of dirt In less than 3
hours or at a rate of around nine
cents a yard. And the dirt In
cluded a heavy percentage of bould
ers, some of them three or four
feet across and of great weight. By
hand power the work ot clearing
the boulders alone would have been
a heavy task as some of tbem would
have been extremely difficult to
handle, while the plow pushed them
off the road as though they were
marvels.
"We figure a man can get away
with about a cuble yard of dirt a day
and It would have taken one man
10 days to have cleaned off tbe
road steady work If it had been all
dirt, it one man couldnt nave
handled the boulders. It would
have taken a good sized crew. A
steam shovel also would have been
up against a hard Job on thfe piece
of work. The district up there
surely needed this equipment
there are frequent slides and heavy
snows lu the winter, but tills little
piece of machinery will handle them.
I am sure of that after watching H
in action. It will pay for Itself In
nurry.-
