Up to the Council
The city council Wednesday will pass on the application
of the Oregon Pulp & Paper Co., for a vacation of a strip of
43 feet of Trade street adjoining its mill on which it agrees
to erect an extension to its plant, which will enable the re
building and continuous operation of another paper machine.
The additional expenditure in plant will exceed $100,000
and a permanent payroll be provided for fifty more people.
The reason the paper mill asks the vacation is because
expansion is impossible because of its location without it as
the present production exceeds storage capacity and forces
two or three extra handlings of the paper, which at the pres
ent depreciated selling price of paper, eliminates the small
margin of profit. The alternative is to reduce output to
existing storage capacity which involves the removal of the
Idle machine which it is proposed to rebuild along with a sec
ond machine, to the Vancouver plant which will involve a
substantial reduction in present payroll and definitely end
any expansion of the plant in future.
The part of Trade street for which vacation is asked is
not now utilized by the public but as a parking space for
autos of mill employes and the trucks used in transporting its
products. There will be just as much roadway for the pub
lic after the vacation as is now utilized.
Moreover the vacation will accomplish the elimination
of the major portion of the cinder nuisance, which is caused
largely by forced draft due to shortage of boiler capacity for
present production. A new boiler is being installed and the
Paper Company has pledged itself to begin erection upon the
vacation of a cinder cone, which experts say will solve the
problem. This cinder cone will mean an additional invest
ment of $25,000 and involve a maintenance charge of $50 a
day in additional electric power for operation. The increased
production made possible by the proposed expansion may
justify the investment.
The Salem mill is the only paper mill in the northwest
that has continued, despite the depressed condition of the
. paper industry, capacity operation, 24 hours a day, seven
days a week. The other mills have for months been on a five
day week basis, including the Hawley and Crown Willamette
properties. Many of the mills have been closed entirely, in
cluding those at Tacoma, Hoquiam, Tumwater, etc.
Opposing the vacation Is a remonstrance signed by seven
individuals. In its favor is a petition signed by 6,250 prop
erty owners, nearly 1000 to 1. It will be interesting to notice
whether the members of the council believe that the soven
deserve more consideration than the 6,250, whether they
think the vast majority of property owners of Salem have
any rights at all or not. The defeat of the vacation will be
simply a reiteration of the old adage "the people be
damned."
jFIVE PERSONS LOSE LIVES WHEN TRAIN HITS AUTO AT TURNER j
Stream Pollution
Dr. Henry Baldwin Ward, University of Illinois biologist
and ex-national president of the Izaak Walton league who is
visiting Oregon as a consulting expert for the United States
Bureau of Fisheries studying salmon streams, declares that
if stream pollution is continued for a few years longer, there
will not only be no fish life left in our streams, but the
streams themselves constitute a menace to public health.
"We must destroy pollution or pollution will destroy us," is
his summary. He further declares :
A layer of tilth Is accumulating on the bed of the Willamette river,
leaching from shore to shore, and slowly ruining the spawning beds
and making the water deadly to small fish.
You of Oregon are raising an On-to -Oregon fund with which to in
vite the whole world to enjoy your matchless climate and scenery, but you
are also dumping waste into your rivers that eventually will make them
valueless, either for recreation or fishing.
The fate of eastern streams is cited, of the destruction
of the fish resources of the Hudson, the Connecticut and oth
er rivers by the same system of pollution tolerated in Ore
gon, and there is no question but that if it is allowed to con
tinue, the same results will follow in our streams.
Pollution is from two sources, industries and munici
palities. Lumber mills dump sawdust, paper mill pulp
residue, flax, woolen and other mills their refuse, chemical
plants their acids and poisons, mines their silt, but worst of
all is the sewage from the cities and the Willamette valley
cities, from Portland to Eugene are the worst offenders.
This is a problem that should be solved in the near fu
ture, before irrepairable damage has been done. It is far
more important to keep our streams pure than it is to keep
our power resources locked up.

mountain system whlcl in primor
dial times dominated an ancient
world was announced -here by Dr.
Edwin T. Hodge, University of Ore
Kon geoloRist, who completed a tops

Eroded stumps of the buried
mountains, formed from sediments
of paleozoic and misozolc seas, were
traced northwesterly across central
Oregon.
Dr. Hodge and his assistants
traced the ancient mountains to the
base of the recent Cascade lava flows
where the deeply eroded range dips
under the Cascade fold. It is believ
ed that in remote times, when tropic
seas swept over most of North Am
erica, the paleozoic mountains rear
ed their gigantic peaks into a sky
through which moved flying reptiles
similar to those found In Wheeler
county several years ago.

compensation by the state Industrial
commission due to the slaying o( her
husband. Fred Jordan, Montlcello
marshal, by Gottfried Gottlcr, Poot
vUle youth. The Insurance company
previously agreed to pay half that
amount, representing (our times the

Blame for Panic
Senator Fess as new chairman of the Republican nntion
al committee alone with Chairman Wood of the Republican
Congressional committee is attacking the Democrats as too
blame for the Hoover panic and declaring that it is because
of lack of Democratic cooperation that the depression exists.
The latter even intimates that Mr. Rnskob heads a Wall
Street conspiracy to perpetuate hard times.
Mr. Fess declares that "this administration has made
every effort through the Federal Reserve board to warn
against the speculative mania." Yet the annual report of
the Federal Reserve bank of New York proves the contrary,
in the following:
For a number of weeks trom February to May (1929) the directors of
th Federal Reserve Bank of New York voted an Increase in the dis
count rate from 5 to S per cent This Increase was not approved by the
Federal Reserve Board.
The report shows that the New York Reserve officials
were seeking to curb the speculative rrymia at least eight
months before the stock panic and that their efforts were
thwarted by the Reserve Board in Washington, over whom
Secretary Mellon, a member of the Hoover administration,
presides as chairman. And it further shows that it was not
until the following August when it was too late t do any
good, that the consent of the administration was secured for
restrictive measures.
It is also a matter of record that for three years before
the stock crash, President Coolidge and Secretary Motion
repeatedly issued optimistic statements which sent stocks
upward, holding the increase in brokers loans merely a nor
anal economic development. And no word of warning ever
came from Mr. Hoover either as Secretary of Commerce or
as President against inflation.

MOSQUITOES NEED NOT EE
TOLERATED
By Bowman C. Crowd!, M.
Chicago, Illinois.
Chalarman, Scientific Board, Gor
gas Memorial Institute
The people of the United Etates
are rapidly becoming mosquito con
scious. When every community
awakes to the importance of a cam
paign to eliminate these pestiferous
and disease-bearing insects, then
shall much sickness and untimely
death be prevented and people in
cities and country a lilt a enjoy the
great out-doors to the fullest extent.
Unfortunately, there are many
communities where the people are
not yet aware that the mosquito an
noyance Ls preventable; that it is no
longer necessary for us to allow
these hungry insects to feed on us.
Yet Gorgaa demonstrated in Hav
ana and Panama that this could be
the case.
In both areas did General Gorgas
wipe out yellow fever by destroying
the yellow fever fosqulta If mos
quito control can be accomplished
in sections where they breed every
day in the year, how much simpler
should the problem be for us, where
the mosquito breeding season ls so
much shorter.
The method used to conquer
these pests in the tropics has come
to be known as "The Gorgas Plan",
and it ls being used successfully in
many sections of the country where
the importance of control work is
being realized.
The basic principle is to eliminate
the breeding places, for mosquitoes
breed only In stagnant water, by
draining off the water or filling the
depressions; it is essentially an en
gineering process and oil or other
larvlcldes are used as substitutes
only where drainage ls not feasible. I
The important thing to remember
Is Uiat the effects of a program of
mosquito proof conditions are main
tained. After the initial piece of
work Is accomplished the project
cannot be forgotten and disregarded
There ls always follow-up work to
be done, and If it is not done mos
qui toes re-appear and the money
and the time expended in the Initial
work are wasted.
The mosquito engineers of the
Gorgas Memorial Institute have
successfully developed a "mosquito
conscience" In the many districts
they hnve served. In the.te commun-
Itles we find the happy golfers, the
unmolested picnic parties and suc
cesful, well attended concerts and
other out-door entertainments. Here
also do we find health conditions
above the averape.
When all psople everywhere un
derstand the menace of mosquitoes,
both from the standpoint of health
and comfort, and the simplicity and
small cost of the measures necessary
to abate them, there will be univer
sal cooperation In the campaign to
destroy one of the greatest enemies
of mankind.
The control work which Is now
under way in several sections of the
country can be duplicated whenever
mosquitoes exist and the Gorgas
Memorial, following in the foot
steps of G eneral Gorgas, stands
ready to co-operate with all com
muntities who want mosquito free-!

it developed so many councilmen

"BAD MEDICINE" MEN
PAROLED FROM PEN
Salt Lake City. '.tah. (IP) On
the promise that they would behave
themselves, and refrain from mak
ing "bad medicine." Truman Hatch.
24, and Lloyd Cantsee, 18, Navajo
Indians, will be paroled from the
state penitentiary and placed under
the care of Edward Black, assistant
Indian agent, August 20.
The two young bucks were con
victed of making "bad medicine"
to do away with an enemy alter
it was proved that they had re
moved the toenails and fingernails
trom a dead Indian, powdered them
and scattered them In the drink
ing water of the tribe. This fol
lowed an old superstition that such
an act would spread a "loathsome
disease among the Indians. The ex
act nature of the "disease" has
never been explained.
Hatch and Cantsee said they
were only joking, and wanted to
scare the tribe, but the judge be
fore whom they were tried sen
tenced them to year In prison to
think over the seriousness of then
"Joke." They have beta In the pen
itentiary several months.
HEAT FRIES EGGS
Linton, Ind. (U The expression
"It's hot enough to fry eggs without
a fire," was tried by two Linton wo
men during the recent hot weather,
and, according to their report, it
worked. Mrs. Vernon La Rue and
Mrs. Mary Dodge said they broke an
egg on the cement sidewalk and that
it slowly coagulated and hardened
In the heat of the sun to such an
extent that It might have been
used In a sandwich.
