A bitterly contested divorce case
started before Judge Lewelling to
day, the case being that of Max
Snelgrovc against Anita Snelgrove.
From pleadings and a sheaf of af
fidavits filed, one of the principal
points of contention seems to be
the custody of a minor child which
each party Is seeking. The case
nearly came to a continuance when
the court was ready to start and it
developed that under an order that
the plaintiff pay $25 suit money
and $25 attorney's fees, that only
the suit money had been paid. The
plaintiff said the other was not
available right now. It was fin
ally decided to go ahead and take
testimony as witnesses were present
and the court had made a special
trip to hear the case. Each party is
claiming cruel and inhuman treat
ment against the other.

Forest Grove, Ore., Aug. 21 (P)
Blown into new life by a strong
easterly wind, a forest fire which
last week swept through timber
holdings in the Wilson river district.
was being battled by a crew of GOO
men today.
Rains and heavy fog on the coast
checked the fire materially Thurs
day and Friday, and forestry offi
cials said it was definitely under
control. Late yesterday, however, a
strong win blew up and fanned a
tangent of the Wilson river fire into
new fury. The flames turned north
from Reeher's Retreat and entered
Scroggins valley, burning in Blod
gett company timber holdings.
The Gales creek fire in tne same
general area was definitely con
trolled and most of the mill-hands
in that district were back at work
today, although a small force of ci
vilian conservation camp members
continued to patrol the lines. Sever
al hundred C.C.C. men are on the
Wilson river fire lines.
During the morning hours today
the fire reached alarming proport
ions. It was feeding on some of the
state's iinest timber and was driven
by a high wind among the tall trees
where fighters could do little to
cope with it. The fire front covered
an area of 14 miles from the original
start in the glenwood district, with
a 10-mile front north and south.
The loss was running into hun
dreds of thousands of dollars as each
hours saw great damage being done
to saw timber ripe for the logger's
ax. Previous large fires have been
confined largely to logged-over land
where damage was largely to build
ings, bridges and logging equipment.
Tom Stevenson, lookout on Saddle
mountain near the Washington-
Tillamook county line, which had
been south of the main fire area,
was driven from his post this morn
ing. He telephoned before leaving
that the forest about the mountain
was blaizing in all directions he said
he must hurry to get out before the
fire cut him off.
SEEK CONTRIBUTIONS
FOR CHARITY WORK
A committee representing the As
sociated Charities waited on Coun
ty Judge Siegmund this afternoon
to discuss with him the matter of a
drive for funds for that organiza
tion and also if .the county could be
expected to contribute. The judge
stated that the matter of contribu
tion from the county would be one
for the whole court to consider but
that the court had not made such
contributions in the past to char-
mble organizations and that county
funds were getting rather limited.
The Judge told the committee
that as far as relief work is con
cerned under government funds, he
expected an entire new setup would
be made in the near future. Under
the new public works committee he
said he understood that an entirely
new registration of unemployed
would be taken soon in making
preparation for employment under
whatever form of wokr might be
allowed to Salem within provisions
of the public works federal funds.
The committee and judge were
agreed that if a project like the
water system proposal is granted by
the government and work started
soon enough it would virtually set
tle the relief matter here for the
time being.
RAPID PROGRESS
ON SANTIAM ROAD
J. P. Bewley, road patrolman In
the Detroit district who was in the
city today, stated that the contrac
tors on the graveling or the iirst
10 miles of the Norm santiam
highway have been putting a four
inch cushion of rock on the grade
of the highway and Is now rolling it
and the road is In splendid condi
tion for travel on that section. On
the contract for grading the next
section of the highway he states he
understands the grading will be Iln
ished early In September.
Bewley says that on the narrow
roads into Detroit where two-foot
cuts were mode of Jutting corners
this vear traffic accidents on the
narrow highway have been reduced
to a minimum and as far as he has
heard there have been no accidents
on that roadway this summer save
now and then a bent or broken ren
der. He savs the same Is true on
the Breitenbush road and that the
cutbacks made in corners is in his
opinion principally responsioie ior
the Improved conaition.

The Salem Senators after having
had little luck in their State league
efforts during recent weeks, got
back into the win column Sunday
when they defeated Schapps of
Portland 8 to 7 in a free hitting
contest. The hits were divided 14 to
a side, two of them being for the
circuit one by the big Roberts of
Schapps and the other by the fleet
footed Pemberton of the Senators.
Manning, shifted back to his old
position at first base after a num
ber of weeks in the outfield, turned
in a clean, defensive game in addi
tion to hitting three for five. He
shared hitting honors with Johnny
Oravec, who also connected safely
three times, two of them being dou
bles. Mason, filling in at short in the
absence of Carl Wood, after mis
judging a fly in the first inning,
went through the balance of the
game like a professional, handling
five hard chances without a mishap.
The scoring spree of the two clubs
started early in the game, the vis
itors tallying once in the first frame
while the Senators came back with
three. The home guard added three
more in the third, thanks to Pem
bcrton's home run while one addi
tional tally was scored in the fourth
and sixth.
After scoring two in the third.
Johnny Beck held Schapps hitless
during the fourth fifth and sixth.
Then in the seventh three singles
and a triple brought in three more.
And when Schapps scored again in
the eighth on a triple and a wild
pitch it looked like the Senators
were in for another beating.
"Squeak' Wilson took the mound to
start the ninth. Repp, the first man
up. hit for two bases but was caught
at third when he overran the sack
on Roberts' single. Roberts contin
ued to second on the play. Pioufi
filed out to center field. Worthley,
who had been hitting the ball hard
all afternoon, was walked and then
Wilson ended the game by striking
out Kohl.
The Senators will play the Color
ed House of David team next Thurs
day evening on Olinger field at 5:15.
MILLERS SEEK
SAFEGUARDING
Portland, Aug. 21 (fP) Flour mil
lers of the Pacific northwest today
urged that their interests be safe
guarded in any plan the government
adopts i or the subsidized export oi
wheat from the north Pacific coast.
A committee representing the
Pacific Northwest Millers' associa
tion asked at today's hearing by the

sociation, that flour as well as
wheat be included in any plan
under which exports made at prices
below the American level will be
built up to that level by cash bene
fit payments derived from the pro

preparing a program of subsidized
exportation through which it Is
hoped a wheat surplus in the north

COUNCIL FACES
'S
Restoration of the salary scale
applying to city employes prior to
the first of the year, deliberation
over the question of whether the
city of Salem shall subscribe to
the blanket code of the ,NRA, and
consideration of the fire code form
ulated by the fire and water com
mittee in conjunction with the Na
tional Board of Fire Underwriters
will, it is indicated, keep the city
council busy for awhile this eve

ordinance to restore the old scale
of salaries, proposed by Alderman
Hendricks and handed over to the
ways and means committ3e for Its
approval, will stir up some discus
sion. Already some of the alder
men have declared themselves as
opposed to the move, even in the
face of mounting living costs, until
the budget has been made up for
next year.
The ordinance proposed to fix the
salaries as follows:
City recorder and purchasing
agent, $2400 a year; chief of police
and motion picture censor, $2400;
chief of fire department, $2400;
city attorney, $2400; city engineer,
$2400; building inspector, $2400; po
lice matron, $1200; police sergeant,
$1800; police patrolmen, $1500; as
sistant fire chief, $1980; fire depart
ment captains, $1800: fire depart
ment mechanic, $1980; firemen of
more than four years' experience,
$1620; firemen of less than low
years experience, $1500.
No definite plan for placing city
employes under the NRA, which
would materially increase the num
ber of fire and police officers, has
been proposed.
